Who won Liverpool or Rangers?Lads I was at Europa Final last night and we need to be all over Wirtz.
Ignoring the result his off the ball movement was unreal. Always open in space. Great quick passes.
His teammates are nowhere near his level. He’d thrive next to Rodri and Phil.

No KDB is a downgradeView attachment 120107
This is what I expect. No revolution here, easing out Kev and Kyle (both likely to play a lot of games, still), and of course, you could easily put the likes of Nathan Ake in that 11 for Ruben, switch John and Manu around, use Jeremy or Julian, or use Kova in midfield if Bruno doesn't happen (or needs time to perform).

Olmo seems unpopular choice, is he not good enough?It’s going to be Olmo isn’t it. I’m not that fussed on Frimpong either

Or Olise?If we had £85m set aside for Paqueta then surely Palace would accept the same for Eze?
he is very injured prone, plays less minutes per season than StoneOlmo seems unpopular choice, is he not good enough?

OliseIs more of a winger though isn’t he mate? If Savio comes in and stays and Jack stays then we have enough wide players? Pep would have had a plan for Paqueta no doubt playing higher up with the Bruno signing so Eze could be that guy?

Easily good enough the question is he fit enoughOlmo seems unpopular choice, is he not good enough?
Apparently Ian Cheeseman said the same thing yesterday. Really hope it isn’t true, one of our most important players
Who would buy him for the fee that would be suitable? His book value is around £40m so we'd want at least that.

I don’t think people are questioning whether he is technically good enough, more whether he would be consistently fit enough to prove that he is.Olmo seems unpopular choice, is he not good enough?
If we had a larger squad of dependable players, his signing would be understandable, yet with certain players already plagued by injuries (Stones, de Bruyne, Ake), certain players unproven (Nunes) and certain players hard to shift permanently off the books (Cancelo, Phillips), an injured Olmo would likely only add more minutes to those who already have tired legs.

I'm hoping its not true, but its not looking good when people so close to the club are hearing it.Apparently Ian Cheeseman said the same thing yesterday. Really hope it isn’t true, one of our most important players

Villa, prodigal son returns to give his CL experience to his boyhood club. Maybe even a swap deal with Bruno.Who would buy him for the fee that would be suitable? His book value is around £40m so we'd want at least that.

The problem we might have with both Olise and Eze is not so much the fee but rather whether they could transplant to Manchester. We might find ourselves in a similar situation to the one we faced with Rice last summer: chasing a player all summer who had little intention of ever leaving London. No matter what we can offer them, some people just prefer to stay in and around London. Olise had problems settling with us before and that may not have changed.OliseIs more of a winger though isn’t he mate? If Savio comes in and stays and Jack stays then we have enough wide players?

What? We wouldn't want to sell Jack, Bruno is a Newcastle player, and Newcastle can't afford to do swap deals because they need to bring in the money for FFP purposes.Villa, prodigal son returns to give his CL experience to his boyhood club. Maybe even a swap deal with Bruno.

I'm not sure, Villa wanted the PSR loss limit to be increased after posting heavy losses - even with CL football, I'm not sure they will be big spenders.

ffs going to be a Barca loan isn't it. I hope its all just bs, ever since he's joined i've been wanting to see him given a go in mid maybe with the Paqueta move all but off Pep can work his magic of finding the answers within.I'm not sure, Villa wanted the PSR loss limit to be increased after posting heavy losses - even with CL football, I'm not sure they will be big spenders.

Just brainstorming! After comments from closely connected people suggested he may be off.What? We wouldn't want to sell Jack, Bruno is a Newcastle player, and Newcastle can't afford to do swap deals because they need to bring in the money for FFP purposes.

That’s true mate but Olise was only quite young at the time and if the red top media are to believed then he would move to the rags so why not us? Eze has the nuts imo but it does seem Olmo is the choice and if that’s the case then our medical team do seem to be able to sort players issues out ala Gundo?
Hope Jack stays. Brilliant player and personality.
One thing I noticed in the InsideCity video from the title win was him staying behind to do a bleep test and a lot of the coaching staff stood in the distance likely taking notes.
Maybe feels he has something to prove!

On the first point, perhaps, but Arsenal, Chelsea, and Spurs will all be looking at these players as well, and, just like Rice, the pull of remaining in London with family and friends will be strong. I also suspect that Palace will not want to lose both either, so I’m not anticipating seeing them in M11.That’s true mate but Olise was only quite young at the time and if the red top media are to believed then he would move to the rags so why not us?

As for Olmo, that is a signing that looks fraught with difficulties, and for every Gundogan there are many more cases where medical science is stymied.
