Cartman

Dennis Man of Steaua Bucharest. 22 year old left-footed right winger, 15 goals and 6 assists in 15 games this season and available for around 15 million euros. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2msWEHWLzkk

He can do a job at left back and has actually played more there for Man Utd than at right back, but that's because it's where they needed him. He is a natural right back and not someone we would ever sign to be first choice left back. But as first choice backup for both positions I could see it, especially since Valery is looking like a write off making it our most pressing need. Right now our backup right back is either JWP or Stephens, neither solution is ideal.

We will never have a right footed player as first choice left back, so no. More like bye bye Valery.

Bertrand will be 32 at the start of next season and plays in a position where pace and stamina are very important, two of the first attributes to decline with age. We will need to replace him soon, new contract or not, and at his age any potential transfer fee wouldn't be much anyway.

Jack Stephens

So he does... funny that, doesn't seem to have ever played LB in 153 matches at club level.

KWP does play both sides, so what we really need is a new RB, even one who only plays on the right, since Valery looks a write off. As far as transfermarkt is aware, Maehle has only ever played on the right.

Had a quick look at a few other teams' forums and one thing that stood out in among the praise for Ralph was that they don't rate our players. Personally I think they don't have a clue and hugely underrating them. While our current squad may not be at the level of ones Koeman had from 2014 to 2016, I think it is more or less comparable to Poch's 2013-14 team. Am I wrong here?

Nope, transfermarkt.😂 I use the transfermarkt advanced search filter to draw up a shortlist of players for us, then stream their games. Amateur scouting for us is much more fun, the only Premier League football I watch is when we play. Been also watching AZ Alkmaar (Koopmeiners, Stengs), Dynamo Kiev (Tsygankov), Palmeiras (Gabriel Menino, Veron doesn't play much), Granada (Rui Silva), Guimarães (Edwards).

My shopping list currently reads: Gonzalo Montiel - River Plate's 23 year old Argentina international RB, fast, high work rate, better at defending than attacking, out of contract next summer. One to target in January. Dominik Livakovic - Dinamo Zagreb's 25 year old Croatia first choice GK, very good all round. Krépin Diatta - Club Brugge's 21 year old Senegalese winger (usually on the right, can play on the left too), very fast, enormous work rate, good finisher, passing can be a bit iffy.

🤣 at the rioplatense accent, Sevija instead of Seviya.

He has his priorities right. One torn ACL is a tragedy, a few million covid deaths are a statistic.

We wanted a right back (Zeefuik, Williams), not a left back.

Vokins started the two games Bertrand missed since that suspension. Cup game against Huddersfield and league game against Brighton.

Don't see Bednarek missing the game. By the sound of things he just took a blow to the head and wasn't feeling great at half time.

Safe to say relegation won't be an issue this season, that bottom 6 look abysmal.

You will find that much of the investment those clubs received was made in the Championship to get promotion and shortly after promotion to ensure they don't go straight back down, we got the same from Markus and Kat. But once established in the PL, few owners are going to throw money at the club.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1987%E2%80%9388_European_Cup This is what set it all off, Real Madrid vs Napoli in the first round of the 1987-88 European Cup. It is also being done to weaken clubs like us, the big clubs have been complaining that the other 14 are too strong and exhausting to play against compared to our counterparts in other leagues. Then there was the Juventus big wig whining that Atalanta were in the CL QFs.

Oh FFS. Can we stop imitating the fücking americans. We are not the 51st state.

Southampton lost by 9 to Leic... YEAH WELL VVV LOST 13-0 TO AJAX!!!111!!!!!!

No sure if this is a good thing. Gives us a better chance of winning, but I don't want him anywhere near Ings' ACL.

Pickford and Vardy sitting on a tree, bumping off VVD.

Think he was referring to Nixon's second tweet suggesting that there will be an option to buy.

The rest of us should come up with our own counter proposal. Like give the EFL, grassroots, women, etc... everything to the right of the red line.
