I honestly think he plays for whoever stays up out of them and Spurs.

Imagine comparing Olise to Gordon man.

Really hope they go down, I think the mackems roll over since they have had their cup final.

He’s on 150k a week and has a contract until 2030. I don’t think he’s worth 50-60m plus that contract.

It’s amazing that this is a top division game. It’s so shit, zero quality. sadly I think you could use this statement a lot this weekend

I think Spurs need to lose this to go down. I think Wolves get something tonight

A lot of people at expecting the relentless Newcastle after a big rest. If we lose this after a poor performance it’s going to be incredibly deflating.

Average premier league player, so he's going to be about 30m. We would be paying the absolute premium here as usual. I dont think it would be difficult to find a player just as good in another league for less than half that.

I'm just hoping they are in a total battle with Fiorentina and focus on that. A hard fought 2-2 for them on Thursday night would be ideal.

The 15 year cycle starts again for Mike after ditching Liverpool.

Really enjoyed the lack of football last week and a bit.

Very good appointment, would expect them to be top 6 again next season.

De Zerbi is class, he will keep them up, get screwed by the board in the summer and they wont kick on as much as he wants and his stock will be at an all time high in 12 months.

Spain are far better imo.

They are playing the mackems who are still celebrating and on the beach. Wolves at home and Leeds. 9 should do it. West Ham aren’t getting 10 points.

I still think it’s a fairly easy job to keep them up. West Ham and Leeds are equally as awful and Spurs have all their players back pretty much after internationals

H and co deserved it

This was on the whole of the UK

Craig Hope somehow got nominated for best football journalist. I was baffled.

He asked who was better Saka vs Shearer. The man is an idiot.

At over half the price too.

I phrased that poorly - I mean the price at 40m would be what we would pay when he hits his full potential. How many keepers, especially English have gone on to actually hit their potential? Of the best keepers in the league, most of them didn't have a tonne of potential at young age. Allison, Raya, Martinez all didn't break through until 26/27. There are some keepers like Courtois, Donnarumma and Neuer who were elite from 21 or so but they were levels above Trafford at the same age.

Agreed, I'm worried about spending 40m on Trafford too, feels like we are paying for the finished product rather than potential.

In 5 years its more likely we are competing with Spurs than Sunderland so we need Spurs to go down really. Last few years they have pipped us to a few signings, Maddison, Kudus, I think we would have gone in for Gallagher at some point too. Sadly the one we beat them too was Wissa.

If Spurs go down I can see Porro being a more attractive option to City. Technically superior to Livramento albeit weaker defensively
