What an erotic Tweet that is.

Couldn’t think of a team I’d rather play in a final than Spurs, like.

I’ll be supporting both Manchester clubs precisely because it’ll mean next to nowt to them versus the alternatives. Fuck Palace and Spurs.

Matterface/Ward or Fletch/Savage/Rio is Sophie’s choice.

Not sure, like, given how early Elliott broke through and how quickly he got a move to Liverpool. I'd put them all in a similar category of potential.

He doesn't play, to be fair. I'd think he's got pretty much the perfect profile for a different type of RW in our system, with an overlapping FB behind him.

How's that different to Hall, though? He had no future at Chelsea.

I can come on Friday, @LFEE.

Please drop to 5.

If Tino was £40M (including add-ons) off the back of a massive ACL injury, and Hall was £35M (including add-ons) after a handful of first-team games two seasons ago, I'm not sure how people are thinking Elliott's worth much less than £40M.

I do know what you mean though. He's got a bad case of Smith-Rowes.

Would take. Howe would make him into a monster.

Shite collar and cuffs IMO. If a shirt doesn't have a proper collar and buttons it can get in the bin.

MY WORD

No love for Barca, but this is hilarious. Fuck Conceicao.

I'd keep Dúbravka if he'd be happy to stay as #2 and there was a market for Pope. I'd definitely be keeping Trippier regardless. Lascelles probably should stay as a depth option and for his overall leadership. Targett would ideally be sold, but I'd be surprised if there were any takers. Longstaff or Willock have to go this summer, and based on how Longstaff's already been phased out, it's surely him first off the bus? Wilson can get in the sea. In addition to those, we have to try and shift Vlachodimos, one or both of Ruddy and Gillespie, Ashby, Alex Murphy, and Hayden.

GK RW CB ST At the very least, surely? Could easily see us doing something at CM and wouldn't be surprised if we signed yet another GK and shuffled a few of our existing ones out: GK: ?????, Pope/Dúbravka, ?????, Ruddy/Gillespie RB: Livramento, Trippier, Krafth CB(R): ?????, Schär, Lascelles CB(L): Burn, Botman LB: Hall CM(R): Guimarães, ????? CM: Tonali, Miley CM(L): Joelinton, Willock RW: ?????, Murphy ST: Isak, ?????, Osula LW: Gordon, Barnes Not sure we'd want to do too much more than that, really, and even six signings might be a bit ambitious. We'd have two gaps in the 25-man squad, given Hall and Miley are still classed as U21, and we'd only have one club-grown player for Europe. (I'll fight anyone advocating selling Joelinton btw) Moving this from Rumours to here, to try and avoid clogging that thread.

Cos we support the Palace, the Palace, the Palace, And that's the way we like it we like it we like it, Whoaaaaaaa whoaaaaaaaaa...

Is Baleba going to join a proper club this summer?

Anyone who clapped him at SJP should be on a register.

That pass into Bruno for the second non-penalty win was a beauty an' all. Did think he faded out of things after that, though.

Eh? Murphy's had a good few crossing opportunities. Yet to pick out a teammate.

“I'm constantly in touch with her and even met her for lunch the other day.” Wew, class mumming. Proper above and beyond.
