    What would YOUR priority signing be in the Jan transfer window?

    Wharton, Anderson, Ederson (unobtainable by us) and either Gomes spring to mind. I haven't really watched Moribo but hear very good things, then there is Baleba but he's probably United bound and will cost a fortune.

    We probably weren't winning a cup every season though if we are realistic. Ange did well to win the one he did but did you truly believe that was something that was gonna happen again? We aren't even in the EL this season. For me the league is paramount. It's the only constant, it's the place...

    We probably aren't going to finish 17th so I'd say it's better.

    What would YOUR priority signing be in the Jan transfer window?

    I like Gomes also, really good technical player, but as others have said maybe judging him against our midfields isn't the smartest thing to do. 😅🤣 So I pulled up some stats and he generally rates well against his peers in terms of wining the ball and progressive passing without absolutely...

    Xhaka is better than anything we can put out in midfield, that is not at all debatable. I know this and you know this. I agree that the 343 was never going to get a win, but then I don't really think there's any combination given who was available that would have gotten the win. I'd rather...

    This is what we were last season. We actually need to prove that we're not that.

    Sunderland have Xhaka, he is better than anything we can offer in terms of progressive play and passing from midfield. The structure matters, the players matter, the attributes of the players matters more than anything. Put Xhaka in this team under Frank and the quality of the passing ramps up...

    City are not Arsenal, they don't play the same and have very different weaknesses. The way we setup yesterday would probably work against the City side we played earlier in the season. Comparing one setup versus the other is missing the point a bit.

    We are now quite aligned in our views about this squad. I think I was at this point a little earlier than you were but it's the same truth ultimately. Like you I have no special affinity to Frank, but I think he's got some decent attributes that if given the chance can be successful here. But...

    Me personally I'd play an inverted triangle with Palhina a sole sitter with Xavi and Sarr either side and in front of him. Those two positions could be rotated between the likes of Bergvall, Gray and even Bentancur and we see what works. That's where is disagree with the approach.

    Getting a DM wasn't the wrong approach, but there is an argument that Palhinha isn't the right guy, but I'd argue we knew his limitations before we signed him. It's the reason some people wanted Wharton instead, or some like myself leaned towards an Ederson. Football is ultimately about...

    He doesn't think they are good enough, he might not be wrong.

    Broooo you're living in a fantasy world. These are your own words. You've literally forgotten what the football was actually like. As I said you've created a fantasy in your head divorced from the reality. Here are some quotes from others. That's just a short sample specifically in the...

    Bro I think you've created this fantasy in your head where all we played was free flowing dynamic football. 🤣 That was not the case last year at all, it was stodgy, it was slow and non penetrative and that was with our backline stationer on the half way line and our entire team in the...

    How come this happened last season under Ange if it's because we are coached caution? Hell it happened under and Jose also.

    That's cool and I'd feel the same. I'd rather go for it than not I just don't think it would have any any difference and I don't quite believe that the majority of fans would have accepted a 4-1 loss but with us being open and getting carved up.

    See this is where I say we shouldn't be aspiring for the top 4 this season. This is the season we should be trying top finish top half and see where we go from there.

    I don't think we defended any worse, Arsenal just attacked a lot better. This Arsenal against last years Spurs and you likely get the same result. They are significantly better than they were last term.

    I think ppl say that, but their reactions say otherwise. Can we play better for sure, can we be more attacking, again definitely. Will we be able to so successfully? I doubt it personally because we don't have a well-rounded 11 imo. I get it, we played callow football today but if we had gone...
