but once again we failed to pick up a proper DM


We just have to come to the realization its never going to happen. He's never going to play with one.

My grade is an A-.

Idk about yall but I honestly think Can can be a great DM for us in the future and that's why BR isn't going after one. I love all the players we got this offseason and I could see us competing for a top 4 spot if we start out hot and win/ draw those important early away games. I'd rate an A for sure and I'm super pumped to see what these new guys bring to the table.

I agree that he won't sign a true DM unless something changes. He wants something different at the position and thinks that Lucas/Allen can play it. Maybe Can too but I worry if CAn has the discipline to play it.

I think Allen has his moments there and Lucas too - we played our best last season during a stretch where Lucas played. But Lucas is not quite what he was a few years ago and I think Allen is too inconsistent and small to be the main guy there - great backup that plays 25 games a year but not the starting XI DM.

It's a need but I think BR doesn't see it as such.

I think we have a shot at top four but aren't favorites. I'm not sold on Man U or man city but both can pull in another world class player or two in the next few weeks.

Fifth to me would not be a disappointment - but we have to be nipping on the heels of fourth. No 10-12 point gap. Below tat is disappointing and above that is great.
