I think Garnacho can make that step. He’s progressed tremendously this year from solely being an impact player to impacting a full 90. Remember in pre-season or at the start of the season when he’d start but look completely off the pace and lost...

Not sure where you’ve been but there are multiple threads with members posting specific areas they feel need attention with specific players and explanations. Todibo is hardly a ground-breaking suggestion either to follow up that comment too…

Oh I agree, if we want to make a meaningful step forward next season then we need two new CMs/DMs for sure. We lack physicality, pace and power pretty much all through our spine. And to play the kind of football I think ETH is trying to play then...

Personally, I’d keep Evans as our 5th choice for one more year and get Kambwala a really good loan at either a lower prem or upper champ team (maybe Ipswich if they go up or Luton if they down). Hopefully Kambwala can come back twice the player...

So this summer you’re not going to touch our defence? We have Shaw who can’t stay fit, Martinez who can’t stay fit, Malacia who hasn’t played all year, Lindelof not good enough and only 1 year left, same with AWB, same with Maguire (we have a...

If we get embarrassed by Liverpool I wouldn’t be against getting De Zerbi in now. Might give us a mini boost for the remaining fixtures (and potential cup final) as I’m genuinely worried we could continue to slip and finish 8th and miss out on...

Can you name 3 top managers that don’t / didn’t have charisma?

Us having a new structure in place isn’t guna suddenly mean we pay half a players market value. It will/should however stop us panic buying and overpaying on players. For example, our new recruitment function might value Toney at £30m but...

I was firmly in the Joao Neves camp but after watching more of Wirtz, my word what a player he is. We really have to hope he stays at Leverkusen another year, we have a great season next year and Guardiola leaves City to stand any sort of chance...

This summer should be a minimum of: 2 x CBs (Todibo + Adarabioyo?) 1 x LB (Dorgu?) 2 x CMs (Thuram + Hjulmand/Onana?) 1 x ST (Zirkzee?) If we’re able to shift Antony and AWB on then you can throw another winger and RB in there too.

Or maybe the type of signing Nice could be looking to make. If they can start to regularly have European football paired with their link to us they should become a very attractive option in Ligue 1.

This guy plus another of those linked (Todibo, Branthwaite etc) makes so much sense. Allows us to get rid of 2 out of Maguire/Varane/Lindelof of which I would try and keep Varane despite his wages and let him go for free next summer. Hopefully at...

I actually wouldn’t be that against Welbeck for a season if it meant we went hard on the squad in other areas. Eg. We splash out on Neves in CM, we get Frimpong in to replace AWB, we get two CBs in. DW knows the club and I can only imagine him...

Ideal scenario? How can your ideal scenario for next season be having Martinez + Todibo as first choice (this part is fine) with Kambwala, Lindelof and Shaw as back-ups? One injury to either of the starters and we’re in big trouble again...

I don’t mind Onana, I like a lot of what he offers in terms of sheer strength, speed and ground coverage. If we sign him I can see where he could fit and add value, however, I’m on the side of wanting a DLP/6 that can give us more control in...
