Can see the 29 August desperate £70 mil bid coming from sooo far

oh yeah sorry i read it the other way

the playbook

the issue is modern football has changed so if he’s too aggressive he leaves too much space for runners. you need a tall cb to put next to him who’s composed like varane. i’m not sure which rcb is on the market you can buy but maybe they’ll get something

Hmmm… Sort of.

The two defensive signings (Onana, Martinez) were great and absolutely correct for modern front foot football.

Casemiro… not so much. A fantastic first 8 months or so, but at age 30 having already won everything he wasn’t an ideal fit for the type of football we wanted to implement.

Mount is a good counter presser, agreed. But he wasn’t (and unfortunately isn’t) a good tactical fit. I still don’t think he will work with Fernandes in a midfield together. We were honestly better off keeping Fred for a season and then looking this summer for a replacement.

Antony does the tracking back, the ‘down’, but he doesn’t do the ‘up’. We couldn’t have anticipated he’d be this s***, to be fair. But now we’re stuck with a winger who doesn’t really have much upside other than he’s a diligent defensive marker and he’s good at keeping the ball (normally by passing it laterally).

Recruitment has been mishmash. A firm 5-6/10. Hopefully giving the reigns to Ashworth and Berrada (whenever the f*** they appear) will resolve that.

EDIT: I also think the one part that hasn’t been picked up, is that in central midfield. We’ve not had a high volume possession recycler in the squad for a while. We really need one of those and I really hope we actually target one.

combined???? yoro alone is a 80-100m signing

Everton still need money to play along with the PSR rules (or whatever the f*** they’re called).

My opinion: Think £50-55m might get him. Probably end up at 60m. Don’t think we’ll go much higher as alternative names are out there.

lmaaoooo im crying at this pic

saved for future purposes

Wait, Branthwaite played for who on loan…?!

Brexit talk but it’s really another Eredivisie alumni

always. I wish we could just get some lesser known signing, like surely it's not impossible to catch somebody before they become a British record signing each time.

He was mid asf at PSV that’s why I don’t get how he’s suddenly become this ‘great’ player

united bidding for a player the day the window opens whats happening

You can’t break British transfer records if you don’t start early ya know

you can do it easily in desperation 3 days before deadline

Lowballing

Guys still think the almighty Murthough is in charge of standing on bidness
