An Away Move

He did shore up our defence when he arrived to be fair, which was leaking goals from headers.

He looked so happy in the pre-season photos too. Ouch.

This is the one thing that worries me. In the Beckham documentary there’s a section on when he built extra muscle for aesthetic purposes and it messed with his biomechanics and performance. Let’s hope the bulking up that Alves has done is purely functional.

In terms of re-injury in games both Alves and Braybroooke will be far more protected by the refs in the Premier League too compared to lower leagues. Better pitches too.

Giggs was tearing seasoned defenders a new arsehole at 17 years old. Yamal in the Spanish national side at 16. Bellingham for England at a young age. Yet we can’t even take a risk on Alves or Braybrooke as rotation players in our first team? This view is SO negative it’s laughable. Hopefully Cooper has the nous to give them a chance.

We need to keep Mads this season. He makes everything tick at the back in a way that our other keepers don't. The latter scenario hits or final points total. Crucial he stays IMO.

This. There's nothing that Mavididi/Fatawu can do that Alves can't in terms of skill. The latter is probably more consistent with the final ball/shot than Fatawu too. I'll be so disappointed if he's sent out on loan. Same with Braybrooke. More chance of re-injury if sent out into the lower leagues too. They'll be better off and better looked after being integrated into the first team IMO. The financial case for bringing them through now is also compelling.

Gaining entry with a photo of the QR code makes a mockery of 'near field technology' and the club's stated reason of implementing NFT to stop tickets falling into the wrong hands/touts.

Another 'dumb question'. Last year when a family member who sit next to me and I couldn't attend a home game we passed on our physical cards to another relative and their son who was under 16. Can we forward nft tickets to under 16 year olds if they're not in the family stand?

Very happy about his. He’s very skilful and should grow into an asset for us. Now we just need to stop him cutting into the centre and blasting over 80% of the time.

I am using a card this year, but want to wrap my head around how you forward on your ticket electronically as it looks like it’s going to happen sooner than later. Do the people we forward tickets on to have to be members? Or just on registered with the club with a supporter number and also on our friends and family list? Or both? Thanks in advance.

A very good free transfer. If he went to any other team we’d be thinking the same of them signing him.

My partner’s dad has a season ticket at Arsenal. He travels an awful lot for business and nearly lost his season ticket this season. I hate the direction of travel.

If I didn’t support the club I would hope we get relegated to League One just to see them bend over backwards to bring the cards back and try and fill the stadium. Tossers.

Just got mine. That really irritated me. Tone deaf.

Lamine Yamal backed and playing for Spain at 16. Meanwhile Leicester fans reckon Alves needs to go out on loan to develop. Lazy thinking.

The syllables in his name must lend themselves to a great chant. I’m not good at this so best first song that came to mind was ‘Daddy Cool’. Doesn’t even fit! 😂

It seems so! Insider info?

Ps. How is @moore_94 so fast?!

Is he any good? Let’s see!

I wish our club made decisions based on values and not purely about money. This company is not fit to be on our shirts.

It’s great that it’s not on the kids shirts

It’s quite simple for me. I’ll never be a walking billboard for shady companies like this. Paying to be one is unimaginable.

Treated myself to a long sleeve black away shirt from our title winning season. Cost about the same as the new shirt will cost.

Thanks to Mark and the original posters for getting this site up and running. We need a graffiti mural for you guys like our title winners for all the hours of enjoyment (and the rest) you guys have given us.
