Summer transfer window 2023

The one I did wonder if we might look at was Callum Hudson-Odoi

Doesn't seem to be really in their thinking, but he's fast, can play on both wings, can beat a man and has decent delivery. Was only 3 years ago or so he was being thought of as a really big player for them potentially.

Has he done anything of note? He didn't pull up any trees for Leverkusen.

I think he was there as a footballer.
Not a tree surgeon.

 

[Charles Hawtrey]

In what way is he the type we should be after? He doesn't score goals.

bigger CF who holds play up well.

I think his point is that the side needs goals.

Not sure if he’s been mentioned already but Chris Smalling is out of contract. Him, Tark and Branthwaite would be 3 good options for me

Whatever about making up rumours it's the ones who come on and post an exclusive rumour about 24 hours after its already been posted here . Fire them out of a cannon . Read the thread first ffs !

There can be 20-30 pages in a day, be arsed reading back through them before dropping my scoop

Who’s got time to read 20 pages of arguing, lineups of players that will never play for us and the lids climbing over each other to suggest we sign some 17 year old Slovenian second division player.

damn, if only id bothered to read back 1 bloody page

I said 2011-2013 Atletico Madrid, which wasnt "prime Atleti".

Yes i do see them as similar setups as both used a 442 formation with similar structures and direct counter attacking play dependent on a tight defensive structure.

Of course one had vastly superior players to the other. The premise is the same though, a Burnley team with limited funds...vs a Burnley team with funds to bring in superior players in the same strucure could be very effective.

Oh my mistake, yeah they only won 3 trophies those 2 seasons followed by the league the following year.

And FYI, they didn’t play remotely like one another. Yes they both played 442 but not under any ounce of imagination did they approach the game the same.

And it had nothing to do with players, it was application of tactics as to why they were a million miles apart

Its all moot too Brighton just signed that hypothetical 17 old Slovenian and next year he is going for 40 million... while we try to meet Southampton's valuation for che adams
