You will beat the sticky toffees they are a mickey mouse club also. Theyve spent £1.5m this off season lol. Got a top manager in Benitez tho how they attracted Rafa and Ancelloti lord only knows.

They have the third or fourth richest owners in the league, and are the 4th biggest spenders over the last 5 years in the PL. Their hands are tied this season, as they have to try to comply with FFP rules.

Another top performance by Drameh for the U23`s yesterday along with Summerville.
If Llorente is not ready I would be tempted to play Ayling alongside Cooper with Drameh RB.

I’d go with Koch back to CB and Klich or Dallas at Def Mid if Phillips not fit.

Rafa usually plays 442, so we'll probably go with 3 at the back.

Appear to be ramping up negotiations for the young lad at Huddersfield. Also team talk i think it is are saying they've got told exclusively Leeds are interested in Brownhill at Burnley.

Saw that, I can only see us signing one, from what I've seen O'brien looks the better prospect.

Looks like Poveda will be leaving too after a fall out with Bielsa.
Leaves us very short on the wing.
O`brien does look a good prospect albeit only young.

He should be behind Summerville now anyway.

Yes I agree and so should Costa and if Harrison doesn`t start to deliver he would be behind Summerville too.
I also hope Drameh, Gelhardt and Greenwood get a chance this year.

Surely we can let Costa and Poveda go (though Poveda imo looked good end of last season) and bring in Kent (big upgrade on both) and bring in Obrien. Though I can't understand for the life of me why we've not gone out and brought in a really good 8 or 10... seems a strange one. There are many better players than Kilch and Rodrigo in those positions. It can only be money imo.
