Looks like he's raided DCL's suitcase

Depends if the super stadium was more than 65k.

He 100% fits into the managers style. You often talk about data and numbers but never seem to mention how these numbers can change. What were Gordon's numbers at Everton? Im not talking goals/assists, I'm talking the other stuff. He's 23. I can only tell you what I see and I see someone with a bit of everything, power, pace, can hold up the ball, take on a man. I will concede that 60m is on the steep end but the potential there is massive. I could see him being an animal. If he signs, let's look at his data in 18/24 months. Make me that deal?

What’s your point exactly? Would you have preferred that alternative reality?

Euphemism?

More like Southwick to me.

Full term Mackem.

No be difficult wouldn't it 🤦

I’m not discounting the penalties - I’m putting his goal scoring into context. 10 goals is good, 5 non penalties is less impressive. And what’s worse is his underlying numbers aren’t impressive either. He’s also no record of being prolific anywhere. His expected data is pretty much identical to Minteh per 90 and their non penalty output is similar too. I don’t think team quality is a good excuse. Perhaps it’s the managers style? I think Howe’s direct style suits most physical and quick attackers.

I think we'll shift to 4231

I’m not ITK but that Boxing Day fixture definitely isn’t happening

My guess is that we have more trust in Miley to play RCM in place of Bruno than we do in Willock to play LCM in place of Joelinton. Miley has shown the minimum hes capable of and Willock has shown the maximum.

Countdowns prior to kick off can get in the bin

Looks like a midweek game at the Stadium of shite.

I actually don't mind alot of your football takes but you will always gain people who think you are cunt if you keep including the bit in bold.

It’s no Sela Cup.

She held the door open for me at Silverlink cinema a couple of years ago. She was really pleasant when doing it also

It's cringe. Looking at some of the players faces, they'd rather be anywhere but there.

Was this Chelsea game played during lockdown... wtf is going on here

It’s fucking shite. Can’t see it lasting beyond this tournament.

Why aren't they playing in LA for this game at least the crowd would be larger. 20% full this ground.

This Club World Cup just feels like a bunch of US pre season friendlies, but with about 75% of players you'e never heard of.

I don't think for a second we aren't looking at these players. They aren't in the public domain so much. Khusanov was 6 months ago. Last year we were linked with Thiaw, who wouldn't have been at a premium price. Forgive me if this isn't accurate, as its just quick maths but I think our average transfer fee is about 39m, which isn't including the likes of Karius etc. We get linked with way more 60m+ players than we actually sign.

Enshittification of the product

It's standard for this tournament. Horrific stuff.
