I think the playing of through balls is less of an issue when you potentially have Romero who can thread a pass from deep.We have got a guy who is A+ off the ball and D on the ball. Wharton was the player I most wanted but that is a £80-100m signing.
Frank loves his tackle
Looking at how well we defended yesterday and adding Palhinha to the mix we should be pretty solid at the back. I hope Frank's remit is to, first of all, make us hard to beat. We can then build from there.Good signing Paulinha. May not be the no6 most wanted - but he is certainly a profile we don’t have in squad.
Hope is he has still got that sharpness from 2 yrs back. If he brings that form ,we have some player on our hands. He will free up likes of Bergvall Maddison
HOw many times have you seen Zubamendi play? Did you follow every game os Real Socidad last season. Does the spanish league replicate the intensity of the Prem. Obviousily with the scum and Liverpool's interest he is rated highly but he did not stand out massively against a midfield that consisted of Cassemiro and Fernandes playing deep.Norgaard won’t be starting - Zubimendi will (who is a great footballer)
That's fine. As I mentioned in a previous post, Frank should firstly make us hard to beat and then worry about the rest. We'll get there.Judging by today’s very well organised defence and with Palhinha we might become very strong defensively but we going to badly need more creativity. Need another 10.

You think the Scousers would accept before he's kicked a ball?
Don’t be such a Grouch(o)There was going to be a sanity clause in his contract but his agent said he didn't believe in sanity clauses.
If we sell Son and expect Tel and Odobert to match his goal contributions (the highest in our squad) then we are completely fucked.
Neither of those players would start for Fulham never mind a CL team.
When they get their first choice striker Isak they will probably need to love one out?You think the Scousers would accept before he's kicked a ball?
PSRNot sure why newcastle cant sign players. Not sure if it’s the manager or location or both. They have money burning in their pockets.
Said on sky they have 125m to spend. Plus their best player wants to leave. Not sure if Howe is a big enough pull for top players or players dont fancy it up there.
