That is exactly how PSR has shaped things and exactly why the PL is now monitoring "good faith" deals between clubs that exploit it. You can't get profit off any deadwood players unless you get a United buying a Maguire or Man City taking a Mahrez.

So much potential for the half time giveaways. Cock rings and nipple clamps being fired out of the cannons into the family stand

He's here til '25 or until someone matches his crazy wages. If you're prepared to tell your country you're happier losing your place than taking a wage drop nothing Jonny boy offers him will change his mind

This should be pinned up somewhere at the top of the forum. Some of the comments I've read are misinformed, some are disrespectful, some are just plain childish bullshit from people still either upset about Enzo or upset about Potter. If you genuinely want to "give up your ticket" or even "make it toxic from day one" then stay away from the club and let the rest of us get behind the team AND Cooper.

Saw someone make a reference to this during the match earlier and I can only assume they never watched Enzo ball. England don't play it round at the back waiting to pick teams off, England for that matter barely put 3 passes together, there's no pacy wingers, no press and I wouldn't say the defence was solid either But yeah, just like Enzo ball 🙃

Been genuinely impressed with Spain. A lot of previews and pundits said they were in transition and be lucky to make the semis but they look a proper side.

He could get 200 caps and not have an easier game. But he looks solid in a 3, gives him a bit of protection from.being caught 1v1

Even Subbuteo knows it

Still injured. Only had one training session so far.

We might be out by the time he's fit I never understand why we take half fit players. Did it in 2016 when Drinkwater got dropped for Henderson who was injured til the last game of the season.

Not with Kelly Somers on screen

That average position graphic says it all. Nobody's imagining it or being overly critical, Southgate is a handbrake on this side. Make Klopp an offer he can't refuse.

Think it was Emmanuel Petit saying that the other day. We're not a pressing side, not a passing side and Southgate doesn't seem to have a plan, reactive not proactive. Let's be honest, we've been here before. There's at least 3 other sides better than us.

Last time he was down here he got marked out the game, got all whiny with the ref and had a kick out when he didn't get the decisions. Not as good as he thinks he is, I'd have Palmer in ahead of him.

Love to see Big Jan put that petulant little s#it in row C

I was talking about Bohely.

Some fans will have been negative whoever came in. And the ones annoying me are those who are mardy because it's not Potter. Boohoo, move on. Hoping Cooper does enough to get a few eating humble pie, especially the moronic relegation comments.

You can deny it. Did well with England youth and got a piss poor Forest side up when they'd been abysmal for 23 years. Keeping them up with a basket case owner buying random players (something Potter struggled with) was arguably an even bigger achievement.

Anybody that uses the reasoning "he wasn't good enough for Forest" isn't worth having a debate with, nobody is good enough for Maranakis. O'Neill wasn't good enough for him. Let's have it right, Pearson wasn't good enough for Southampton. Half our managers haven't been good enough elsewhere. It's a pretty pathetic argument.

Yeah but free beers and donuts

Harry Winks got his wish 😂

We should forget negotiating with Wilf and buy this guy out of his Saudi deal. 33(?) and still gliding round the pitch winning every lose ball.

Yes I think they ended up paying £70m for Kepa or something like that.

He's been LCB, Kristiansen was at LB for most of the game. He was totally exposed as soon as Kristiansen went off

Pretty sure that was the season we'd had interest in KS from a couple of top clubs and someone like Ben Hamer was our only back up at the time. It's not that we bought him, as ever with us it's the fee we paid. He'd been at Liverpool, played for Wales and had that incredible season where he was POTS for Huddersfield. I'm sure we scouted him and didn't just buy him at random......😑
