This. Tidy.For a good fee, I'd get him in.

If money is really limited for this summer we should just sign a striker and Macallister for whatever money it takes and spend the rest of the window getting rid of the deadwood.
Scouse feckers are ahead of us on this
Yeah and no doubt we'll be announcing Fred's new deal as they announce his signing.
He’s a baller, him and Caicedo bossed our midfield.
Imagine thinking this guy is no better than Fred or Sabitzer.

It’s absolutely the right metric, because there’s no guarantee we would be able to entice someone like De Jong here this summer. Having a young, accomplished midfielder who can cover multiple positions and if not excel, then always give you 7/10 performance, is a massive improvement on what we have now.I don't think he's the answer to our midfield conundrum. Tonight I didn't see him doing anything particularly breathtaking. He's an upgrade on Fred and Mc T, no question, but I don't think that's the right metric.
Depends on who we can bring in, if we can get De Jong then I’d pass on him, and try to bring in Lavia as understudy for Casemiro since he would be cheaper. But if not then we should absolutely get him in, whenever Eriksen isn’t on the field we struggle massively to build play, and Eriksen is weaker in possession than Mac Allister.So if you have to choose one who would it be,then again could easily lose him to scousers and Caicedo to gooners which hurts
Only when we are in possession, he played closer to DM when they have the ball, pushing up the field while their shape came closer to a 3-4-3.Caicedo was at rightback. Gilmour and Mac Allister were on top of Casemiro and Fred

Yes, especially over the rumoured Mount or Maddison (most likely bollocks, tbf). While not having cover for Casemiro is an issue, we don’t even have a partner for him to begin with. Casemiro-Eriksen-Bruno will never dominate games for you consistently.We will never sign De Jong,so gonna take it you would prefer us to sign Mac Allister then

If he stayed being a Scotsman Fergie would have persuaded him to join United
He tored Casemiro apart tonight. Very reliable, press resistant. Completely dictated their tempo.
He's the opposite to Bruno. With Mac Allister you get the feeling that he will not rush if not necessary, and will always find the right pass. He works a lot, is press resistant, goes for goal aswell. His penalties are magnificent, it's not the first time he strikes a decisive penalty in such a magnificent way for Brighton.
And to think he didn't shoot against The Netherlands and France at the World Cup.
This. Would have been a game changer for us.
Glad you say would because lost him to scousers
Probably true. And the way some of our players behaved last night probably did not help.
But with both us and Liverpool chasing him he will be very expensive. I would not mind Man Utd paying a silly fee for him at all. Hope we really push the fee Liverpool have to pay for him.
We lose midfield battles week in week out. I’m still not massively moved by him. I think he’ll do well enough for the Dippers though
Players like this who can keep the ball in tight spaces and can’t be pressed into sloppy turnovers will help us win those battles. The issue is that we lack someone who can start moves off, even more. But maybe Martinez and Shaw stepping in and taking that responsibility off Casemiro will allow us to sign this player and make it work? Or maybe he’s more complete than I think and can excel even deeper.We lose midfield battles week in week out. I’m still not massively moved by him. I think he’ll do well enough for the Dippers though
I completely get that - and agree, really - but if it’s mostly just press resistance we’re after, surely there has to be more out there? We won’t have the budget to blow £60m+ and afford our other big targetsPlayers like this who can keep the ball in tight spaces and can’t be pressed into sloppy turnovers will help us win those battles.

Because they’re doing the business early. Our hands are tied until the takeover is agreed.Why are we going to lose out to them? Them of all clubs.
No need to talk about Bruno like that!Good player but an annoying, whining, little rat.
