    Scotland’s best XI would be 8 left backs, a goalie and a midfield pivot of McGinn and Armstrong.

    It is very strange. But I for one am hoping it's true. Looks unbelievable for his age.

    Someone else forgetting McTominay.

    And that's still a more coherent team than The Athletic's Championship Team of the Season

    Bit worrying that we are targetting players who aren't even good enough to get into one or Europe's shittest international teams.

    Amazing how the Wobby gets these stories mere hours after the news appears on Twitter...

    Will be very happy if we can see this signing up quickly. Looks a real talent.

    So maybe rather than being ‘done’ this is one where the player and his representatives are fully on-board, now we just need to haggle Hibs down on the price? Until Muff win the play-offs and outbid us.

    I like to think that the appearance of this thread has triggered our interest in this guy and hope this is a model for future recruitment.

    Muff already have Lloyd Kelly and Diego Rico at left-back, so we shouldn't need to worry about that.

    I can't really see any of the clubs in the playoffs being in the market for a LB of his profile really.

    It seems Celtic and Arsenal are the main threats here.

    It's probably done and will be announced after their cup final on Saturday.

    Classic Pozzo signing.

    Irrelevant. They know if they can pinch our targets, they have a good chance of not being last. It’s a sound strategy.

    To be honest I rate Scott McTominay.

    McTominay is a perfectly ‘okay’ midfielder. Which is why United are miles off the top sides in the realms of winning PL/CL. Okay isn’t good enough at that level. You need an extraordinary manager like Ferguson was to get the best from ‘okay’.

    But in in terms of Scotland players he is a good option. To be fair to United they are 2nd in the league and in the Europa league final so I would argue that they are not that far off. Especially when youn consider Chelsea are in the Champions League final who have finished below them in the table.

    Unless they sign Kane (and even then it carries no guarantees) I would expect Utd to finish no better than fourth next season, behind at least City, Liverpool with all their players back and Chelsea with Tuchel from game one.

    I'm actually hoping we get this kid.

    Sure we need first team ready players, but this is good investment in talent for the future of the club.

    How can there be a plural of "top sides in the realms of winning PL" when there is only a singular one side above them in the PL table?
     
  24. a19tgg

    a19tgg First Team

    They ain’t in the CL so plenty of sides ahead of them in the realms of winning it, so i.e. all of them. Next Season Chelsea and Liverpool will be back ahead of them.

    It's how the Walcott transfer first started its unstoppable momentum.

    Cavani is better than Kane.

    There are only two teams in the champions league though. So only Chelsea and Man City are in the realms of winning it.

    Burnsy also mentioned PL so I was asking why also he mentioned PL.

    PL = Premier League. CL = Champion's League. They are different.

    Read my comment more carefully.
     
  30. a19tgg

    a19tgg First Team

    I meant all the other teams that did better than them in the CL, and hence are/were better placed to win it than them. They finished third in their group, so 16 teams were ahead of them to win it, and at least two just in their group alone (RBL & PSG).

    They may have finished 2nd in the PL, but they’re still a long, long way from winning it and even further away from winning the CL.
     
  31. a19tgg

    a19tgg First Team

    I understood your comment just fine. Collectively there are a lot of teams ahead of Utd as far as winning the PL and CL is concerned. They had two in their CL group alone.

    Then answer: which teams - plural - are ahead of them in winning the PL, given that they are 2nd?

    In the wider scheme of things Chelsea and Liverpool are, in the CL a lot more than that.

    Pedantry aside, I think they’re miles off winning both. That said I really don’t give a toss about them either way, certainly not as much as you seem to.

    There isn't much to suggest Liverpool are. It remains to be seen if VVD will get back to his best and their forward line's form have dropped off hugely this season.

    For sure it's already difficult to look beyond City likely winning the league again next season, but as to which of Chelsea or Utd would push them closest I think it will really come down to who has the best summer transfer window.

    And why do you keep adding the CL when again I specifically asked you about the PL? It indicates that you can't read as well as you claim you can.

    The CL was a bit odd though, as Utd would have beaten Leipzig had it come down to their head-to-head performance, but they were undone by a terrible one-off game at Bashakshehir where they'd fielded an overly-weakened/rotated team.

    I'm caring principally about the pedantry here.

    Association football - particularly being a striker.

    I have to admit I truly have no idea really. I never watch either team play so I haven't got anything to back it up.
