It makes sense. MVE is our quickest player and he’d get left in the dust by wingers like Semenyo, Martinelli and Luis Diaz. Meanwhile we’ve still got plodders like Bidwell, Allen and Lati getting playing time.

He was so good man. I'd get the loan offer in now.

There's definitely some middle ground between the "We're fucked" crowd and the "it literally means nothing" faction: - The opening 20 was good, we looked slick - Some of the 2nd string are NOT good enough anymore (Allen, Bidwell, Wilson) - We should never play a 442 - Monaco showed how...

Thank God

Maybe I'm biased because I really like Dovin, but bringing in a Prem loan for the year would be a smart move IMO.

£6m for a keeper while we’ve still got glaring weaknesses at ST and CB is mad

Jamie Allen is diabolical. Can’t believe there are people happy he’s still at the club. Should’ve been gone with Godden, Rose and the rest of the L1 lot.

They’ve done a proper mix of 1st team and youngsters both halves. We basically had the 1st team + Perry and Brau 1H and the 2nd string this half. Akliouche who scored the 3rd had 15GA in Ligue 1 last season.

No press and we can’t hold onto the ball. Time to turn this one off.

The lad Monaco have bought on at CM is a fucking tank.

Flat 4-4-2 with Andrews right mid is... interesting. They've already gone close twice in 5 minutes.

First 15 was really good. Sheaf and Grimes working well together, one-touch passing through their press. Then we just decided to stop. Can tell Brau is not a natural winger. Saka and Rudoni both missed opportunities to slide Simms through on goal. Thomas very poor. Perry looks good on the ball.

Their defence looks athletic as hell. All of em 6ft2, strong and fast.

Bobby Thomas stinker so far

We weren't for the first 15 mins though. Was all in their half.

Bobby giving Biereth too much space to get a shot off

Yes.

Newcastle have agreed a deal to sell Longstaff to Leeds. Time to see if there is anything in the Rudoni interest...

Scouted Ftbl also did a deep dive into finding the best under-the-radar U23 strikers in Europe that is interesting reading. Some names that get a mention: - Kvistgaarden - just signed for Norwich - Damion Downs - just joined Southampton for £7m - A bunch of players out of our price range - And...

The youth football watchers rave about him, sounds like a young Grimes in a way. A playmaking 6 who likes to dictate tempo.
