Its surprising how close we are to 5th despite such a **** show season from us. Still a big upturn is needed to get there.

Exactly my point of the other thread 'is everyone Sh1t ... '

Everyone is beating everyone else.

18 points from 17th to 5th -

from Bin Dips in 4th 33 points to Brighton in 14th 25 points - 2 wins, 2 draws.

Mental.

A bit of a run, 4-5 wins in a row and lifts NUFC up to 2nd / 3rd place.

The cartel destabilisation machine is winding up once.

No coincidence to see the Tino to Arsen-hole & Sandro to Chelsea reports coinciding with an up turn in for for the team and the march back up the league.

Neither player is going anywhere this season, both are more likely to sign a new contract should the team achieve a 2nd qualification to the Champions League which is looking more and more likely with every passing week.

Tiago Gabriel - Dominant Defender - 2025

My new Fav CB transfer target. Tiago Gabriel

6'5" - 21 yrs old - right footed. 90% pass accuracy

Portuguese, so no AFCON issues in the future. Already a key player for the Portuguese U-21s, yet to make his senior debut. However, he could be on the plane in the summer world cup.

Still Raw but rapid and reads the game well. Loves a tackle. Got BDB physicality & game reading about him but quicker, younger.

Juve and Inter are both pursuing the defender. Juve is trying to do a player swap.

Price will be in the region of 35-40m Euro for a player of his talent and potential is that sweet spot like Tino, Hall, Thiaw the club like to invest in future talent with the ability to add value now.

He's the 5th best U-21 talent in the top 5 leagues.
