Dan Burn > Diego Carlos You have to see the mistake in the Zagreb goal.

Agree too

That move could have been made with a view to the future. I explain. If we manage to stay this year, it is evident that a new project will begin in June. A project in which, really, Wood should not have a place. In fact, the ideal would be to sign a better striker than Wilson for a good pasture and not let Wilson have 100% of the team's offensive impact, because he has been missing many games due to injury for several years. I think that Mitrovic could have an impact on this team for the future when we take the next step and we are to go above the Top 10. Wood No. For what you have spent 25 million on Wood and not on Mitrovic, but surely in a couple of years you will have to sell Wood (without recovering almost anything from the investment) and sign another striker for another 30 million. And there you have Mitrovic's 50. XD. But come on, I don't think Fulham would have let Mitro go.

Without a doubt Gabriel Barbosa is a bet that for the future could have turned out well, but no certainty. Less for a team that needs immediate performance like ours, after having failed at Inter and Benfica. I am not a big fan of Wood either, but you have to admit that he is playing well, doing what is asked of him and the team is winning 3 in a row. I think we all counted on the guy not going to score a goal in every game, but the most important thing is that he left Burnley without their reference above (which automatically put them out of the fight for permanence) and has boosted ancillary players like Fraser and Saint Maximin a lot (Is it a coincidence that they are both having their best games in these last 3-4 games?) because they are much freer. Not to mention the team's offensive game, because he has to have someone always fixing him from a set piece and that the other day, for example, earned us the Lascelles goal against Everton. Personally, I can't think of many more options of players who want to come to the team at that moment, for 25 million, and who can add from the first moment. Weghorst himself might have been one, but the last dutch man we have in the front was Luuk De Jong........ Perhaps another Piatek (before going to Fiorentina). Also Arthur, the player who is supposed to start for Vlahovic in Fiorentina (but he comes from a minor league like Benfica and who knows if it will not be a new Afonso Alves from Boro). What I would have done, if it had been known from the first day that Wilson's injury was so bad (something I suppose they did know) was try to bring in a player on loan from the MLS, Japan or the Chinese League, who can help until March 1, when their championship starts. Someone to help Wood upstairs in case something happens to him, like Josef Martinez (Almirón's best partner ever), Leandro Damiao, Valentín Castellanos or Joveljic. Or even if you are looking a striker diferent with more movements, Carlos Vela.

I have to say, that I like more Weghorst than Wood. But at the time of the signing, I also commented that signing Wood meant automatically relegating to Burnley, because even if they later signed the Dutchman... They were losing their reference player, and if another came along, they would have to adapt him and that is not easy. Much less in a situation like yours.

I mean. I believe Saul will back to Atletico, but I am not sure if his agent want it, and I don't know how people will receive him.. and Simeone... He has a very high salary and is very difficult to keep it for a player is not in the best form in the club. Saúl 2014-2019 was an amazing player. One of the best in his position between 2016 and 2019. But last two years his level has down... In part because he had to play in another position (LB), but too because he was out in several terms... My only doubt with him is that he looks like to be very soft in his mind... In terms of mental healthy and things like that. And if he land in Newcastle and feel depressed... But thing. But if he get his best level... Player that could be starter in any team of the world.

Saul would be an interesting signing for summer.

What amazing debut for Dan Burn.

Ekitike doesn't matter to me. I admit I haven't seen him play. But I think that Botman could have been a good addition. Quite a young player, but very mature, with very good qualities. He is only 22 years old and would arrive for a price of 30-35 million, which for the current market is a bargain. And I think he is a player that when he reaches his best level, in 4-5 years, he will surely be playing for the best teams in the world for 70-80 million.

Looks like Botman has a deal with Milan for Summer. His agents have been today in Milan (there are pictures and videos). Now is time for them to get a deal with Lille.

Is Pickford crying again?

What an amazing match from Trippier

Lascelles in both areas.

The 2015 Documentary of him was very very good.

I will buy it.

This? I have searched but I found more than one.

30 years ago today I was 1 month old. Cheers. 🤣

Ragnick have said that they did not reach any agreement for Lingard with any club. That the player wanted to leave (although at the beginning of the market he did not want to) but that they did not reach agreements with anyone. In addition, with what happened with Greenwood, from the board they had told him that they preferred that he stay.

No. Trippier is RB Reinildo is LB We are going to play with Llorente or Wass in the RB (Yes, both are midfielders).

About Bruno... Is depend the system of the team. Bruno play as a '5', but is not defensive player. I mean... Bruno play in the same position plays Pirlo. And Pirlo wasn't a defensive player. He plays very well in this position because he is very good taking the ball in the back near to the centerbacks and giving the firsts pass in every play.

Lewis has been really disappointing. His defensive mistakes have cost us points in games that we were going to win or draw. He really needs to play, but he's not at the level to play here (even though the first few games with Howe seemed to improve somewhat). Since Dummett is constantly injured, that's why he signs Targett. Also, you have Manquillo who can play LeftBack and Ritchie who has played there defending 5. It's true that Ritchie hasn't shown the best of him, but surely now he can be useful as a bench player playing further forward like Letf and Right Winger. That's where he played best in his first year with us, and that's where he always played best at Bournemouth with Howe. I understand that if you have to choose between Lewis or some players who can act in several positions, decide that the one who stays out is Lewis.

No Krafth, Clark and Lewis. I don't believe they risk to quit the third GK

The informer is Antonio Ruiz (not Juanma). Juanma is the main broadcaster of this radio program. Some years ago, Antonio Ruiz was the most reliable source about Atletico because he had good links with the owners... But some things changes. Antonio really says that if Felipe goes to Newcastle, Atletico will cover this position with Lenglet (Barcelona).

Atletico needs players because we only have 18 players (not counting the goalkeepers). And apparently, Atlético is going to pay about 4 million so that instead of arriving for free in the summer, he can now join the club. The player is already in Madrid.
