FSG: why renovate the house when you can get away with a quick lick of paint.....

Im just thinking I wonder if wrinkle dick mcduck celebrated nunez winner?(if he was even watching, no doubt illegal stream no need to pay) But if he was. he'd struggle to stand with all that change in his pockets.

Well it was'nae a hard-on for Linda that prevented him from jumping outta his seat anyways....

True there's numbers but in terms of quality and a squad that's equipped to challenge we are short I'd say and in the same kind of trouble as last season if we pick up a couple of injuries to key players.

Of the two areas and our "make-do" solutions should we done with transfer business, I'd be much more concerned about centre-back than midfield at present.

Centre-back

Assuming Phillips leaves it's -

- Van Dijk
- Konate (injury-prone, usually niggles)
- Matip (injury-prone, in decline)
- Gomez (injury-prone, recovery pace not what it was)
- Quansah (untested at the highest level
- Endo as an emergency option
- Bajcetic as an emergency option (this was his position at youth level for a while)

...whereas...

Midfield

- Szoboszlai (good injury record)
- Mac Allister (good injury record)
- Endo (good injury record)
- Thiago (hopefully injured less due to rotation)
- Jones
- Elliott
- Bajcetic
- Gakpo can play 8 in an emergency, though I don't like it
- Trent could do midfield while Bradley or Gomez covered here and there
- Midfielders often easier to buy in January than centre-backs

Of our "break glass" options we are definitely thinner in the centre-back department, both for quality and reliability.

Yeah I'd agree too. Whilst I'd definitely like another midfielder its at CB we could really be in trouble with.
There's rumours Nat might be going to Celtic on loan. If he does we surely bring one in and I'd presume he'd have to be homegrown?

Thuram rumours going around again too but not from anything reliable.

Another injury in defence. Conor bradley, not major but hopefully back I time for carabao / fá cup action to give someone a rest. The squad is getting smaller by the week with these injuries.

It's ok we have a massive squad.

Yep, everyone at the club seems to think so 🤔🤔

[redebreck]

WTF are FSG playing at?
Smallest squad in the Premier league, if what I have read is to be believed.
The loss of Champions league revenue seemingly is affecting our ability to get our squad up to scratch.
