We need one more striker, possibly an LW


We already have Estevao, Andrey, Petrovic and Sarr coming in.

CM, RW, GK, CB.

Get me striker and LW.
Two CFs in one window is going to pose as a problem for this board.

If Delap joins, it’s definitely going to be him and Jackson leading the line for us, at least from how Maresca’s sees it, which we’ve seen this season.

Liam Delap suitors being informed he is not joining them, amid preference to sign for Chelsea. Sources at likes of #MUFC #NUFC #EFC #NFFC now aware. 22yo on course for #CFC subject to personal terms + release clause requirements being met

Gyokeres will most likely move to Arsenal.

Sancho will take a wage cut that's not the problem,he's a good squad player I don't see him as a starter,we should try for rodrygo now that we have UCL
If Sancho will be willing to take a pay-cut then we may move Mudryk who seems to be struggling both on and off the pitch.

My ideal attacking options for next season would look pretty much like this:

RW: Palmer, Estevao, Neto
LW: Rodrigo, Sancho, Madueke.
CF, Gyokeres (Delap), Jackson, Guiu

😂 Chelsea that will start pushing for garnacho because gittens is too expensive at 60m will push for gordon? 😆
They had better buried that Garnacho talks.

We’re looking for direct and effective wingers who has goals and assists in their lockers not some lad with a schoolboy’s footie.

Amorim’s recent brutal swipe at Garnacho should be enough reason to stay away from him.

If Gordon no go work, make dem try Harvey Barnes. These are low budget players that can fetch you 10-15G/A in a single season.

Okezie is a monumental failure.

He is busy jostling for political offices because he can’t get enough of public funds. A man who failed to leave a lasting legacy deserves no recognition from any body.

In the next six years, Otti for his good works in less than three years will be remembered by every Abian and international bodies.

Real recognizes real.

Madueke will be like "my bad gees I will work on my shooting practice", brother you need to work on everything!

i want us to sign proper singer and phase him out.
Mayorkun or Omah Lay won’t be bad grin

On a serious note, where I think we’ve got a bigger problem is the LW. Palmer and Estevao can hold down that RW position for years, with Neto happily being a squad player.

Sancho with his heavy wages needs to leave. That leaves us with just the ineffective Noni and the ousted Mudryk for the LW position and there the problem lies.

I expect a busy market as we may need to move some fringe or overpaid players this summer. That should see us balance the books and most probably make a big money move for Lws like Leao or Nico Williams. I heard Rodrigo is shortlisted for sale, we don’t have to sleep on that deal either.

If worse comes to worst we can tempt Newcastle with a deal for Gordon, even though I’m a big fan of Ademola Lookman.

The phool will be quick to quote my post without letting bare the entire context of the conversation.

Cucurella under Pochettino was a disaster to watch. He had no confidence to dispatch Chilwell and wasn’t an actual left-back like Maatsen and Hall. Almost everyone here wanted Lewis to stay as he was seen as the future of that no3 position, however, his sale was sanctioned by the club for profit reasons.

The only reason Cucu wasn’t shipped during that time was because it could have gone down as an accounting loss because no one was gonna pay £50-60meters for him.

We’re all happy the Spaniard have really come good. You can’t find anywhere in my posts where I’m writing him off other than saying stats wise I think Kerkez has shown great potentials to be here.

Make una warn this attention drunk ninja to stay off my mentions. Biko.

nateevs:
Good lord man. Just chill.

So you got Cucurella right, so did many people. You also got many wrong. There's no award for this shit.
It’s a disease. He has an inflated sense of self-importance and needs a constant excessive admiration to stay alive hence the hackneyed line “I told you”.

I rightly questioned the sale of Lewis Hall because at the time, he has shown that he was a hot prospect and Cucurella was yet to convince anyone, despite the hefty price tag. This was primarily what it was all about and had little to do with anything else.

This self-absorbed attention hungry small man will now classically become the most knowledgeable person on the board. Someone who is renowned for his abysmal takes and punditry grin

Even the Barca, Raphinha doesn't hug the line like we see wit midueke. He plays on the left half space and balde or any other left back bombs down the flank.
Which is still a recipe for disaster. In Popi’s case, you have to run the channels like the old good years.

The field in 2025 is bigger than the pitch used in 1999.

The players in 1999 didn't have blood flowing in their system unlike today's player.

The ball in 1999 was made of iron,unlike today's ball that is made of leather.

In 1999,they played 7 aside unlike today where they play 11 aside.

I can see why asking Madueke to play from the left in this big 2025 won't work because of the disparity above.



Well,Puyol's career ended immediately he faced a left footer playing from the left,even the remnant of that goal was scored by Ronaldo who was playing from the right as well. That's to tell you even the mighty Ronaldo was switching wings,not stationed on the left from starts to finish like you all wants us to believe.

Guess what? Puyol had faced so many deadly attackers from R9 to Ronaldo on the so-called left,none were able to do to him what Di Maria did to him using his left foot.

Popi rest.

Your claim has limited validity. How many teams are still fielding players to hug the line and cut passes back?

Don’t limit your defense to just Barca/Raphinha, how many teams?

One word mehn,


Quality!

This is not rocket science. Once an inverted winger cuts inside, the deadliest next move is to shoot with his stronger foot, it’s a proven technique.

Anyone saying otherwise is a terrible analyst that has still got their heads buried in 1999.

So Maresca feel it's a good idea to use the players that have been playing in the Conference league from the start in the final.

The arrogant and ego of Maresca is way above his coaching ability

Atalanta can be tempted with a bumper deal for Ademola Lookman. He’s better than anything we have at that LW.

Delap is a good fit too. Push Palmer to the RW and drop all those deadwoods we parade as supporting cast. Seduce Guehi with a huge pay and let him strike a partnership with Colwill.

Recall Andrey Santos and switch permanently to 4-3-3.

Football analysis isn’t for everyone.

Na only a madman go wait to concede before chasing a win. A goal and a clean sheet each game is enough to give you a title.

I remember Napoli won Serie A few nights ago. And my memory tells me that Inter scored loads of goals above Napoli. Same with Atalanta.

What my memory is struggling with is what Napoli did to win the league ahead of Inter and Atalanta. I need you to tell me...

Those genitals and eyes use to commit such sins will go back to dust after being eaten by worms and moth at death but their sin-stained souls will be punished by God.
