  1. I know, no idea why he played it like that. Could’ve got away with it with some but Jaz seems switched on. It’s the TV equivalent of picking a spot, you know it’s probably the wrong thing to do but just can’t help yourself!
  2. In his defence, his hair got injured and kept him out for 6wks last time he had a trim.
  3. Never seen a player so consistently and effortlessly control a ball dead. Long ball from Kasper to Mahrez, perfect touch every single time. Loved his goal vs Chelsea and him putting three Villa defenders on their arses!
  4. One things for sure, there’s only really three routes for a club like ours to be FFP compliant; get great at recruiting and developing players, have a successful academy, become Man City. Luckily Seagrave should help with the first two if used correctly.
  5. Can only really think of Chilwell, Schlupp and Barnes who have gone for any significant sum. Good return but only selling 6 for money isn’t amazing in 10 years is it? 🤔
  6. That’s sad to read. Hope he gets the support he needs and can find his path in life.
  7. Other than his abductor, legs, feet, hands, stomach, muscles, ligaments, bones and hamstring he seems a pretty healthy guy.
  8. Eek! Anything other than a 6m loan and I’d be worried. Not like he’s going to be on £20k a week.
  9. 28. Never played outside of Italy. Poor injury record. Had to drop deeper recently as it sounds like he doesn’t have the athleticism to play further up the pitch any more. Doesn’t sound like a midfielder well suited to the pace of the game in England. That said I’ll trust the opinion of someone who has extensively scouted him, watched him play or even watched a YT vid over my own given that I’d never heard of him 5 mins ago!
  10. Wagatha Christie derby at home… what?…. he’s been sacked… after 83 days?!… well this ain’t getting on the TV now!
  11. Think what this shows is that the need for a 20 goal striker isn’t actually there to be a Prem team. On average about 3 teams a season have one which means 14 other teams stay up without one! Maybe when football was a 442 game, your wingers crossed it and you had the big man up front supporting a 9 as your main goal threat. Then you needed one. Now as football has evolved I’d expect our wide forwards and 8s to contribute goals meaning from the front man even 12-15 could be a very good return. No idea if the stats back this up!
  12. Fairly certain we don’t have an option to buy nor would Chelsea want to sell him (but it’s Chelsea so who knows!). Probably more realistic if we go up that we could get another season long loan for him so they see how he performs in the Prem.
  13. Watching Havertz bumble about in the box made me appreciate Cannon even more. Nothing overly fancy just quick well struck efforts with good striker instincts. Very early days but will be interesting to see how his career pans out over the next few seasons.
  14. Interesting that Enzo played him as the left 8 in the cup, knowing with Albrighton it’d be a good opportunity to exploit his aerial presence attacking crosses at the back post. Lovely attention to detail! There’s definitely a player in there with Casadei, probably just needs to simplify his game and improve his decision making a bit.
  15. Thought he was ok yesterday, not amazing, not dreadful, decent 6-7/10 performance. Wasn’t keen on him over-playing an injury and he was reluctant to take it on his right foot a few times, always trying to cut into his left which became a bit predictable. Seems likeable though and pretty keen so he’s someone I really want to do well for some reason!
  16. Tbh I’m more concerned for the welfare of the kid in the background. Someone needs to stop feeding him skittles for breakfast!
  17. Won’t be a problem, we’ve got loads of other they can try! This is basically Rudkin when someone contacts us about signing a keeper…
  18. Decent guess!!
  19. You’ve sampled our bombs, now try our sausages. They’re the wurst.
  20. Name checked in the Spurs match… “they need to play the ball over the top, like Drinkwater used to do for Vardy”! 🥰
  21. Save a bit on his wages, get him in the shop window, he gets to play football not be a Conrad Logan impersonator for a living. Win:Win all round.
  22. Mines Worrall-otoflaughs, Cilla Blacks catch phrase.
  23. Even when Romano gives it the “Here we go”, a picture is released of him signing his Toffees contract, he changes his online profile to declare himself an Everton player, then he makes his debut for them. Even then I’ll fail to believe this is true.
  24. Tbf, Spurs spent a significant amount of money having this custom designed and installed…
  25. 97.8% pass completion yesterday, the highest on the team. Admittedly he did attempt fewer passes but still impressive.
