Winks backup instead of an Ndidi replacement I’m guessing. Maybe try playing Choudhury in the Ndidi role?

For center-backs we should be looking at Mees Hilgers or Arouna Sangante. Hilgers definitely has potential for the ball playing defender we’re looking for and Sangante reminds me a bit of a more aggressive Fofana.

I think the sales of Henderson and Fabinho to the Saudi clubs likely impacted their decision to go all in for Caicedo. If Jude actually wanted to go Liverpool (I think he was more interested in Madrid after the ‘22 UCL final) and the Saudi sales were done earlier in the window / if Liverpool could see them coming, then he would have gone to Liverpool. Just unfortunate timing for them.

The market is completely ****ed. £110m for Caicedo is mental.

He just looked at it. Doesn’t mean anything really.

What would you have us play? 4-4-2, lump it to Vestergaard and Souttar up top?

One of my main concerns is who depth for Ricardo’s position is with his injury history. Nobody else has the same sort of profile. Need to be defensively decent, bit of pace, and tidy on the ball. Maybe JJ? But see above concern re-injuries.

Play by play is fine, but the bloke doing commentary is annoying me. Stolarczyk isn’t scuffing clearances or being risky. He’s clearly playing out of the back, and doing so decently, way better than Ward or Iversen have ever done.

Rightly so as well. If we could have properly defended the past 2 seasons we’d be doing alright.

Grealish and Barnes are completely different players who offer different things, they're not competing for the same spot. Barnes is competing with Rashford, who does what Barnes does several times better. About the only thing Barnes is good at is the give and go and finishing from cut-ins.

This is too reasonable a take. I’d rather constantly check FT and Twitter for transfer updates and get exasperated when I see nothing new.

He also wrote that Soumaré has been with us for 3 years. Piece felt a bit rushed by Tanner, and he made a couple of assumptions that certain players will be staying.

Anyone else seen these twitter ITK wannabes claiming that KDH wants to leave, with a big 6 club after him for depth?
