If selling Almiron means we can sign Maddison and Pedro, then yeah. If selling him means we only buy Maddison then no. Our squad is too small/shit for a one in one out policy.

It’s all guesswork about fees, but my personal view is you should upgrade your worst players first. Murphy, then Fraser, then Almiron.

Well yes, exactly this. We’d need to sell him for £30m to make a difference

With no replacement? Why does the fee make a difference to you?

Almiron gets zero assists or goals and is worse than aids. Why would anyone other than a Sunday league disabled team want him? #NO

We can. It’s just a risky strategy.

Thought Malacia looked class last night tbf

Looks like he had more of a night when he was 15

arsenal shipped him already?

Liverpool’s bench looks shite

He didn’t even mention Newcastle, or anything in relation to these bids. Just that Maddison wants to go to Arsenal

Both will be linked with City when Pep goes

Better player. Massively underrated.

Not sure he’d even get in their team. They seem to have four players in his role already.

Steve Cooper is the next England manager. Don’t panic.

Been speaking to a Leicester fan today who apparently knows Maddison (I know, I know) and apparently he’s been desperate for Arsenal to come in for him. Doesn’t want to stay at Leicester much longer. Pinch of salt and all that…

Only thing I can think of is backing in to a player heading the ball.

Stones?

They were knackered, playing against the best midfield in world football. Rob Lee would have been chasing shadows today

Yep, moving forward I agree. Today, against that midfield, I thought he did alright.

We’re missing a DM but I think that’s harsh on Willock who would drop out

My Mrs (Liverpool fan) now thinks Pope is the best keeper in the league

Oh, you mean city were average?

Weird take

Sat in a hotel bar in Turkey. First time my six year old lad has watched a full game with me and he’s absolutely obsessed now. Such an amazing feeling.
