@August72512508 I think that’s very fair

@FinleyKing_ I do think our squad last season was better than 15th (obviously imo) however no way it was even top 8, i’d have to look to determine it fully, but probably 10-12th best Prem squad. Amorim can’t make a mid table squad into a champions league squad, no manager could

@tjk20497898 They’re fantastic additions to an awful squad that still needs a whole lot more improvement. They’re a great start, but don’t change everything alone.

@FinleyKing_ So now cunha and mbeumo arent good enough?

@204T0m @mufc_ah ^

@mufc_ah @FinleyKing_ Cuz he’s our best CB bar yoro

@CallumNeeter Was meant to go from Crewe to Manc picadilly and I’ve just checked my maps and I’m in Wales 👍

@FinleyKing_ Guessing you weren’t trying to get to wales 😂

How have I just got on a train half way to wales without noticing

Mbeumo, sales, Ekitike please.

@alfie__03 Tessa chronicles 🕊️💔

My recent substack (in my bio) “oh ye, I love being on my own, independence is super important. I’m an only child of course!”. A line I’m all but familiar with on a first date. I’ve promised myself that I do enjoy my own company, yet one of my worst nightmares during university was a declined pub trip or no football on the tv too attach myself too, socially; an evening of no plans makes my body physically squirm. I am forever chasing unconditional love. Every relationship I’ve ever held has been unequal, I have pushed and pushed (often too much) asking for some unrealistic expectations which lead to ultimate disappointment. I have a tendency to want those that are unavailable a short fling with no long term goal due to fixed circumstance or boyfriends. This encapsulates my issues, i don’t mind saying issues. Everyone’s got issues; mine are pretty minor, but still significant to me. A lack of sibling alludes to this pursuit. I have genuinely no idea what that relationship looks nor feels like. I yearn for a deeper connection, that I worry I’ll never truly find. On a whim I said yes I want to do a trip on my own. I had put zero thought into it and after battling the end of uni I was stepping into the beating sun of Seville, 30 days of isolation ahead of me. It is now day 16, half way. The consequence of being alone, or what I’ve experienced is that you are either high or low, there is nobody to ground you to a middle, something good happens I fly, something bad I drown. Thankfully, this is by no means a confession of depression or anything along those lines.(My mum will read this so feel i need to caveat that!). I do truly believe I am the happiest person I know and this isn’t due to blindly falling through life and suppressing emotions. I am writing a fucking Substack on my feelings ffs I am in touch with how i feel lol. I’m just over-analysing my emotions after long days of 35 degrees heat and beer. So this chase for idk a deeper connection? How do I overcome this? Well probably by doing the opposite and through the cliche of focusing on myself. Fundamentally learning to be on my own before even contemplating the thought of others, but that’s boring and unrealistic. If everyone waited to be the idealised version of themselves before relationships the worlds population would slowly diminish and we’d be extinct. Consequently I may also just be a 22 year old boy who believes a pretty girl fixes all of his issues, warra cliche, reality and time will ultimately reveal something different and my hunt for unconditional love will shift as I grow and evolve through routines and adulthood.

@fl_yanited Yeah right kind of profile for it definitely

@FinleyKing_ Don’t you think heaven is more suited to the 6 than debast. Dorgu Heaven Bruno Amad . Yoro Maguire Debast

@3sDries1 Onana then

Debast is NOT ready for a big club man, still 2-3 years away

Cunha - Osimhen/Ekitike - Mbeumo with Dorgu, Amad and Bruno in support… Consider me moved.

We’ve been running a Maguire/De Ligt - Ugarte pivot in the buildup for large parts of the season. Can you imagine the difference if that becomes Heaven/Yoro - Baleba for example?

This week the Academy Season Review went out, marking the end of this season's episodes - so I just wanted to say how much of a privilege it's been co-hosting the show alongside @JayMotty. I used to love watching Dave Pritt's weekly reviews, it's part of what got me into following the youth, and so to have been able to provide coverage in the same vein this season has been an honour. Jay and I are looking forward to taking the review to another level ahead of next season, with (hopefully) some great interview guests on the way, and more of the same dedicated coverage throughout the season. I want to give a big thank you to Jay and everyone at @StretfordPaddck for trusting me with such a big responsibility having never been on camera before we begun the review last year. And finally thanks to everyone for the support and the kind comments - both critical and complimentary - they really go a long way in pushing me to improve.

@fuadyabz23 Yeah Cherki/Masta maybe a better fit for this dynamic but Mbeumo is still a top creative hub. Topped the league for expected assists this season.

@FinleyKing_ there is just nowhere near enough creativity within this team, far too many shoot first players. if you’re selling bruno im sorry but we can’t sign mbuemo.

IF Bruno were to leave, there would be no excuse not to go into next season with a team that looks something like this.

@Thomas750958087 No decision made yet, journalists are guessing

@FinleyKing_ Not confident on Delap, Chelsea are favourites.

@joshphillip5 He’s the ideal candidate but just see too much competition for his signature to have any realistic hopes of signing him.

@FinleyKing_ A lot of plaudits lately for the Joan Garcia? Cheap young and sounds promising. Any views on him Fin?

Midfield and goalkeeper are the positions I'm most concerned about this summer. Any suggestions?

@UTDChe_ Don't want us going anywhere near Ederson and I think there are better options than Costa.

@FinleyKing_ Costa in goal, and ederson as the midfielder to bring in.

@UTD_Always_hehe One contact injury?

@FinleyKing_ Heaven isn't gonna be good enough for anything if this injury record continues

I’ve seen enough from Heaven and of course Yoro to think they’re good enough to be our long term LCB and CCB respectively. I’d still allocate some funds towards a young high potential RCB to complete the trio this summer. Christian Mosquera would be an excellent pickup.
