Skeletor

If there's one thing that Eddie isn't, it's soft. He had Wood straight out the door, replaced by Isak even though he'd only signed Wood 6 months earlier for a large fee, disciplined Gordon after his tantrum against Brentford and had Maxi out the door for not fitting into his system. Similarly he's made our most talented players wait until they understand his system completely before allowing them into the team. Lascelles is currently one of our four centre back options, that's why he's still here.

Longstaff is great at suffocating the opposition in possession. If any team was set up to exploit that absence last season it was Villa.

Paqueta is quality. If Caicedo is worth £111m () then he's easily worth £100m.

Out for another 3-4 weeks with a recurrence of his hamstring injury according to Craig Hope.

Boooooo.

Brighton here like

£110m We're the ones ruining football though.

If Man Utd get £45m for McTominay then we need to steal whoever did that deal and get them selling our dross.

Forcing our hand is not a bad thing really.

He's 27 though

We're short of a left back, centre back and right forward (in terms of quality, not quantity). Think a centre back will come in but we do love to leave things for the next window (except a right forward which we never actually sign despite needing one every window since the takeover.)

And where did the big money for JH/FAB come from? Self righteous meltdown.

He'll stay. He's boring as fuck like that.

I don't actually hate him as a person, just as a footballing entity.

It has to be signed off BY MBS

Palace might as well become Chelski's feeder club.

I couldn't hear past his eyes.

Bring him home. KT linking up with KT in the fullback positions.

I hope we put a hattrick against Barcelona obligation clause in his contract.

Brummie being in his 50s is a plot twist.
