Towards the end of last season, I drafted a 🧵(🔗 below) about the realistic transfers I felt that #NUFC & Howe would look to add to the squad.

Over the past few weeks, I’ve received some requests to do the same for this upcoming season, so here goes 🔽

Before we start, let’s mark my homework from last season:

✅ Harvey Barnes ✍️’ed for #NUFC
❌ I didn't think we'd sign a right-back
⏳ Tosin Adarabioyo & Lloyd Kelly are heavily linked for this summer
7️⃣ Players transferred to other teams

1️⃣ out of 1️⃣9️⃣… Not good enough 😅

Five things we learned from #NUFC's 5-1 win vs. Villa

What a way to start the season. Now that I've calmed down (a bit) I wanted to share a few things I noticed about the game from my seat in the East Stand but couldn't share because I had no signal 😭 https://t.co/0lhrPfZUretwitter.com/i/web/status/1…
Image 1️⃣ Tonali & Bruno swapped positions with fluidity.

When you compare av. positions with the ball from yesterday's passing network (left) with last season's home win vs. Villa (right) you can see how much more often Tonali & Bruno took turns playing right-side of #NUFC's mid 3️⃣

#NUFC have made their 1st senior signing of the summer, adding midfielder Sandro Tonali to the squad.

The 23-year-old has over 200 senior appearances, 14 caps for 🇮🇹 & joins on a 6-year deal for a reported £60m from AC Milan.

But what will he bring to SJP? Let's take a look 🧵 Before we dig into his performance data, it’s important to understand the role he has played at Pioli’s Milan.

In 22/23 Tonali tended to start on the left side of a two-man defensive midfield pairing.

But he wasn't REALLY a true number six #NUFC

A month or so ago, @JohanJnrRidley requested a list of the players I think #NUFC should sign to improve the squad this summer.

Now European football of some kind is all but guaranteed for #NUFC, I’m in a position to deliver this.

So here’s my 40+ tweet transfer mega 🧵 👇 Image However, I want this thread to be sensible and bring in as many realistic factors as it’s possible to know I’m going to break this down into three sections:

1️⃣ Potential Outgoings & Squad
2️⃣ Recruitment Strategy
3️⃣ Transfer Targets
