He’ll be playing with this guy then I assume this is Chelsea just stacking players ready to buy cheap and sell big 🤷‍♂️

He's currently on £70k so no

Fully agree, Monga does look to be ahead of the others but , & fearing a backlash here, he has got an awful lot to learn. Whilst he looks good keeping the ball on the left and doing his tricks what has his end product been like really 🤔 compare his 45mins v’s Fatawu’s 20mins for instance & considering 1s been out for 8mths or so who had the better end product and by how much of a distance? He will get there and probably well ahead of any curve but he’s not ready to start the majority of games just yet I’d be more than happy for Mavididi to soften defences up and Monga to come on almost every game for the last 20 with the odd start thrown in.

I’m assuming hoping that Nelson only had a slight niggle to not be in the squad for yesterday 🤷‍♂️

So very much like the 2 seasons prior to relegation really 🤔

Just Words.. it’s easy to say after you’ve won but also if we had lost because he would have said, “yes winning matters to me I always want to win so yes I’m disappointed with the result, that said it’s pre-season it’s about getting match fit and getting my plans into the team which I thought the lads did very well blah blah blah blah blah….so really happy” so wouldn’t read much into what’s said tbh (by any manager)

Fatawu has always been better than Mavididi, Enzo summed Mav up in his season in saying you can tell which Mavididi you are getting within 5 minutes of the start his head will drop if he doesn’t get past his man & be a passenger for much of the game or will grow in confidence if he did & go on to have a good game. He needs to work on that as can’t see MC putting up with passengers in his high intensity pressing game, he also now has Monga chasing him down for a start.

Did Winks only become a problem once RVN had a problem with him, bearing in mind none of us know what actually happened or was said? I do seem to remember that he got motm a few times on FT during Enzo time, now if he’s not prem standard will we actually be able to sell to a prem club or would the only option be another championship side & are people then happy to sell probably the best player we had last time in the championship to a rival?

Sunderland already dropped £95m and still want several more signings so expect up to £150m, surely this will bite them in the end 🤷‍♂️

I imagine her run up was to not give the keeper the simple check of where the planted / standing foot goes because generally it will point towards the way the penalty will go. I thought she had the best most confident penalty of them all followed by Russo, Bronze was just a blast down the middle.

"I'm an exciting centre-back. I'm a centre-back who likes to attack…” The words of Fulham's Calvin Bassey when asked to describe what he believes he is as a footballer… but but but Calvin I thought you wanted to be the next Carlos ?

Is Sheringham the new Le Tissier or Simon Jordan spouting off how Rashford doesn't deserve a move to Barcelona “If you assess where Marcus Rashford is at as a professional footballer, you strive as a youngster to get to the very top and play for clubs like Manchester United, and when you’re there, you appreciate it,” Sheringham told Sky Bet. “You don’t throw it away and say you want to leave. “I find the whole episode very soul-destroying, compared to the way I was back in the day and how I strove to get the privilege to play for such a huge football club. “To hear someone talking the way he is talking, saying he wants out – I didn’t like Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang doing that at Arsenal, I thought it was soul-destroying, and I hope Rashford doesn’t get the move that he’s hankering for." Rashford is 27 no longer classed as a youngster he's done his time, It is Barcelona he is talking about going to & Man U are no longer the world force they once were...oooh & its Man U that are forcing him out. I think Teddy needs to butt out.

There is a 50% sell on & a buy back clause mind so i think Bayern will end up winning either way. Similar player to Fatawu who we got for €16m but if they both sold for the same price going forward say €50m, our deal works out better. But yes for a quick fix, probably only the 1 season if he tears it up & they dont go up, its a small outlay.

Anyone else watched Such Brave Girls, another 1 of those tucked away BBC3 Bafta winning comedies. It's not going to appeal to everyone but a bit of a guilty pleasure after just discovering it bearing in mind S1 was shown backend of 2023.

they have also priced Harvey Elliott at £40m with a buy back or £50m without after the equivalant of 40 * 90 minute premier league matches. Would assume they will insert a sell on fee % also.

Bournemouth struggling to offload goalkeeper Neto due to his massive wages. Surely not I thought it was only Leicester that gave out over the top contracts to aging players not well run clubs like Bournemouth 🤷‍♂️

No idea 🤷‍♂️was more an observation about the amount of real estate afforded to US stadiums and perception of ease of attending a game, without trying to navigate around a concrete jungle of apartment blocks, houses & side streets. Assume it’s a mare still then getting in/out?

How they going to lift that trophy let alone get it on the plane 😝

Man look at all that car parking around the stadium, ooh to be able to park at the door, watch a game and be back on the road freely heading home within 10 minutes of leaving the ground.

Think they need to stop footballers from doing interviews, was Cole answering different questions then?

That first line up formation just put up on screen has 1 6 2 8s with perhaps Ricardo to come into a 6 position to support Winks?

Part of the d’heads defence was that he (they) had “been taken by surprise” and believed they were being attacked as the police officers didn't identify themselves as police officers…ffs I hope the jury laughed at that bit

a loan maybe but he will be very much out of our price range to purchase that's for sure, MV of €25m with a 5yr contract having just penned a new 1.

So just leaves Vestergaard, Woyo C, BDCR & Ndidi along with the injured duo of Mads & Souttar to be seen right?

If I was on 300k pw I’d move a bit also.
