The biggest fumble post-Fergie was not securing either Guardiola or Klopp who were both very much on the market in the years immediately following Sir Alex’s exit. To make things worse, those two went on to manage our closest rivals and therefore...
Robbie Keane - Man City
Wes Brown - Everton
Maguire - Everton
Taribo West - Bolton
Matthew Upson - Aston Villa
Sebastian Bassong - Portsmouth, QPR

Good player and ideal cover/competition for Martinez. Won’t come cheap though and therefore a question of whether this is the best use of our limited resources when there are so many areas that need addressing.
In an ideal world we would have adequately addressed our issues in central defence and central midfield by now and could be looking to go big for Wirtz as a replacement and long-term upgrade of Bruno. Alas, the old weaknesses in the heart of the...
James Milner as already mentioned is probably the most obvious example I can think of. Could play full-back, wide midfield, central midfield and number 10 to a good level, whilst never really being top class in any of those positions.
We should at least have an alternative in the squad who comes in as a rotation option and puts a bit of pressure on.
I think Ten Hag has got a bit more discipline out of him in terms of his decision making but there will always be times when...
I would have taken a 2-1 at Luton a few weeks ago and to be honest I would have taken it before the game because it always felt like this could be a potential banana skin.
I think with the context of us going 2-0 up in 10 minutes it feels like...
One of the players I want us to sign most. I think he could be top drawer and he can do far more than just cutting in on his left. A more natural dribbler than Antony or any of other options. Technical, low centre of gravity. Hopefully not too...
Hojlund - no brainer due to age and potential
Garnacho - no brainer due to age and potential
Shaw - he’s very good and we have very little depth at LB so selling Shaw would cause unnecessary disruption
Martinez - excellent at what he does...
I like Olise and I think he’s a safe option as shown his quality in the PL. However I feel like Roony Bardghji has a higher ceiling and is probably also cheaper
