Megadrive Man

A Tory MP that is stepping down at the next election revealed on LBC that he's starting his retirement with a trip in September so it's looking more and more likely that it will be a SummerSlam Election.

One very big positive is that we seem to be getting it done early, so Slot will have the whole summer to asses things.

October is the rumour.

It makes a lot of sense. Sunak will likely be under massive pressure after the local elections and they will fight the election on Rwanda. I've already heard a few Tories parroting "We stop the boats, Labour stop the planes"

Sell Salah Snog Trent Marry Virgil.

It's starting to sound more and more like Klopp has been driven out of the club.

It would get confusing otherwise!

Ideally we'd replace about five or six players in the summer. I'd sell/release Adrian, Thaigo, Matip, Salah and Tsimikas. I'd bring in any homegrown GK, a proper number six, a centreback, a left back and two forwards. The defenders I'd bring in would both be from Fulham. Tosin Adarabioyo and Antonee Robinson. Both are home grown, and Adarabioyo is on a free. Robinson looks ready to take over from Robertson. I have no ideas on the six or the forwards though. It wouldn't surprise me if we were to go for someone like Matheus Cunha or another Fulham player in Rodrigo Muniz.

I think he's done better than expected and I'd keep him next season as a back up, but we need to bring in a higher quality player in the summer.

Id like to see Trent, Mac Alister and a proper six in midfield next season.

There was rumours that they were prepared to offer £150 million. Yeah but in they are all in in together in terms of raising the profile of the league. He could sell it that offering £100 million for one of the best players in the world would be a real statement signing. If they were smart they might even get Salah to go to Gerrards team. Salah would bring in a lot more fans to a smaller Saudi team, a bit like the way Messi has at Miami.

I think Saudi clubs will be a bit more measured this summer and won't have the same mad scatter gun approach they had in 2023. Considering that they spent €90 million on Neymar, we should be able to get a similar amount, if not more for Salah as he has a much bigger pull. We should get Gerrard involved too, to sell it to them about how good a deal it would be.

He's never going to fuck off International football. He'd go from hero to villain in Egypt if he prioritised playing for us over them. It's stupid though because Egypt are shit and are never going to win anything. One think we have to consider when replacing Salah is that we need players that aren't disappearing every two years midway through the season. I'd steer clear of signing African players unless the tournament actually gets moved to the European summer permanently.

We've been better for most of our games in 2024 when Salah didn't start. He's been a brilliant player for us, in my all time top three with Suarez and Gerrard but I think it's time to cash in on Salah in the summer. The money raised by selling Salah should allow us to get two decent forwards in.

We're making Dominic Calvert-Lewin look like a world beater which is some achievement.
