Broja is still dining out from a decent half season at Southampton a few years ago. Who knows if he's any good, but his stock is definitely down.

The Agadir Agbonlahor

This is as good as a Championship loan move tbh. Some good players have come out of the non old firm clubs over the last few years.

I thought he was partially culpable for the second goal. As soon as JJ started committing to the winger, Vestergaard absolutely had to start moving over on the cover. Faes had the other forward covered. At worst he would have been in position to foul Iwobi and take a yellow.

What is he as a player? Doesn't particularly look like a grafter on the evidence of the first 2 games, which is the minimum we were expecting. It's not as if Mavididi shirked his defensive responsibilities last season either. Have to hope he isn't too comfortable with a 3 year deal and is motivated to show what he can actually bring as a player. He has been a total non entity in the first 2 games.

I'm blaming Vestergaard for that. As soon as the ball got played out wide he should have been shifting over on the cover immediately

Ayew getting straight to the top of that covered most fouled list already

Reid again. That was a clever pass by Winks and he's just on his heels.

Faes reminding us that he is Faes

Ndidi been sensational last 90 seconds of the half

There's no way Leno was getting to that.

Ndidi having a stinking first 10

Ben Chilada

Almunia to Chris Wood 13/14 season.

We all know how good Ricardo is, and he is probably still one of, if not the best pure footballer in the squad, but his role would change completely in this Cooper side compared to Enzo, where his inverted role and our dominance in possession didn't tax his body so much. Who knows whether he still has that explosiveness in attack and recovery pace in defence that we'll be more reliant upon this season.

Villa looking to farm out Iling Jr on loan. Might be worth looking at.

He's just come off a full season playing for a champions league side in a top league and people talk about him like he's a pub player. First half he was off it, but so was everyone except Buonanotte. Was excellent along with JJ second half.

TBF the Winks in their side is Lavia and he has looked very good. Caicedo and Fernandez are the non factors.

Not sure if it's the fact he's wearing 26, but Savinho moves a lot like Mahrez on the ball, very silky.

Think the signing would be viewed a bit more positively against the backdrop of having already signed quality attacking reinforcements rather than the farce that has transpired so far. Pressure now on the club to get some genuine attacking quality through the door.

Let's not overreact. If it is £14m, It's not a bad fee at all for his profile of player given he is young, home grown and is rated decently by Spurs. Most people here would have no issue dropping a similar fee on someone like Gus Hamer. Edit, if it's over £20m, that is steep.

Too slick.

You're underselling that run, it was a great run. That is how Hudson Smith runs, he goes out hard and tries to hold on. I wouldn't even say he tied up, he ran 43.44 a PB and a European record, he just got reeled in by someone finishing incredibly quickly.

French fans booing that. Absolute clowns.

That beige/sand/faeces and maroon effort will never be toppled as our worst kit ever. Absolutely appalling.
