Graeme seems attached at the hip with Eddie, fwiw.

He’s gotta use his underrated upper body strength to his advantage.

aye likewise! Sorry for forgetting your username. Seeing and hearing teenage American kids talk about our players in the detail we do gives me so much joy about our reach here.

Hanging with @SEMTEX @LFEE and @Ameritoon and seeing just countless Toon fans from all over the world at the match was outstanding. Random folks from all over North America who love the Toon. Young fans, old fans. Amazing stuff. Had not seen that before in my life. Always felt us as some smallish rogue fan base over here and we probably still are in comparison to the Liverpool, Arsenal and Man United fan bases but we felt massive yesterday. Welling up with pride.

Think he’s a better midfielder than Anderson, who imho, should be playing left wide forward

Almiron’s 1 footed-ness is actually far more annoying in person than it is on tv.

Anderson def grew into the match @Ameritoon

We played nothing of our own usual stuff. It’s all about fitness man.

He’s a star in the making. Protect him and train him and sort him out properly at all costs. He’s the next big thing in english football

:-(

low key wish you proudly showed up with a DH Gate.

Whew. What an afternoon. Met Eddie, Mehrdad, Graeme Jones, Peter Silverstone. We are owned, operated and managed by some fucking absolutely class, and I mean that, Class people. I’m floored by how genuine they are in conversation and all chuffed to say hello and take a photo.

His first few detailed posts in this thread cover it if you can look back mate. I think the gist was they are not necessarily comparable given they play distinctly different roles, but Barella is more attacking and does far less defensive duties. I think I also read that Barella has thrived when he’s had a wingback and 3rd center back for cover.

I’m definitely going to get a walkout jacket but will wait for a sale. I hate the prices.

Not sure why it’s funny to me that our castore adboards are part of our training equipment

I don’t and can’t subscribe to the DHgate life. But I respect those who get the massive joy of a proper good fake.

If Barella goes to Liverpool I hope we never hear klopp speak of any ceiling ever again. His owners are directly involved in keeping it a closed shop.

Was thinking similar but more unknown or known pacier taking the “left back” role.

Can’t wait to see what the plan is for him this season. Would be pretty wild to see us move Trippier around, but actually Livramento would be MUCH needed pace to the back line.

I'd rather we kept Maxi and bought Barnes but our top-class manager has told us with a heavy heart we will have to trade players and the FFP restrictoins are an impediment to him getting the team built the way he wants - if this has to be the deal, I trust the bloke who works 365 days a year and 12+ hour days preparing our team on 4 fronts.

I love Maxi and all but some people need to just take the emotion out of it and chill out.

I think the 200,000 in wages he’s getting a week also had his head turned. It sounds like he also was good with the move when the wages were sorted out.

Gordon, Willock, Isak, Botman, Tonali all under 25. Barnes, Bruno and Longstaff are 25. Joelinton is 26. 9 starting calibre PL players. A front 6 that’s all got the best years in front of them. Barnes - Isak - Gordon Willock/JL - Bruno - Tonali/Longstaff

I said that the other week - my only gripe about Gordon and Barnes is we could have shelled out their combined fee for 1 truly world class winger imho.

I’m still hopeful of a Chiesa loan to buy or sneak Raphina in at the end
