Ah forget him he's the past. This is the immediate future https://www.flightradar24.com/51.65,-0.14/6
Few deals being announced straightaway already I see. Hopefully we can get some business done early and have some deals already lined up. That second half of the season must surely be so helpful to our immediate ambitions. It's been a great advert for the club.
I reckon we'll be a couple of weeks off announcing anyone. Sure that's Howe, the players and the staff away for at least a couple of weeks. Sure I read somewhere the training ground work was starting today though and someone said a load of builders etc have been in the ground since Tuesday (guessing that will be improving the concourse areas and bogs for Chippy)
Wonder what the likelihood is of us signing Lucas Paqueta. Saw that picture of him from over a roof - hope it's not a bad omen as that kind of paparazzi type pic would put some players off.
I'd say very high...... But it won't be coming out the summer piggy bank it will be coming out of the "If they become available and PIF want them" piggy bank
In the last 19 games we've been 3rd best team in the EPL behind City and Liverpool and across the whole season only finished SEVEN points off a European spot despite giving everyone else a 14 game head start on us. A few signings - think even 2 exceptional ones like Paquetta and a CB + a few young players like Nkhetia and Etikite - and we will be laughing next season. Imagine a full season of Howe in charge we'd have got more than an extra 7 points...
Agree a major overhaul would risk the good spirit we have created. They seem focused on getting the right types in so trusting the club will do good business. Paqueta would seem like a no brainer considering his relationship with Bruno who has proven himself to not only be a quality player but a too lad too.
This Broja link seems to be gathering more and more traction. Can honestly say not even noticed the lad. Anyone think he's any good?
