At least we're much easier to buy now than when Ashley was owner.

For every pound you lose, you pay an additional pound to an escrow to guarantee the debt. Then the club isn't saddled with debt and if the club is bought, all debts are nulled by the escrow. Now, if you don't pay the additional pounds to escrow to match the losses, that's when punishments/sanctions happen.

Arsenal Mania spent their whole match thread saying he'd walk into their team in more than one position, but the savvy ones acknowledge that even they can't afford him. It's not just us lads who thinks he's special.

He must have a lot of positional sense off the ball that we don't get to see so much from the TV. He's doing something right, proper team player.

Very good point. I did make a post a week or two ago about seeing more of him on the right and Barnes on the left, seemed obvious, glad early signs are it's showing promise.

I've always been told he's meant to be fast, but I don't think I've seen him really use his pace until then. Teams must set up to counter him by playing a bit deeper to negate his pace, and Spurs didn't and we got see him in full flow. Which was nice.

That's how I play FM, 2 players for every position and a couple of swing players like Murphy, always works for me !

On current form and fitness it's got to be Anderson ahead of Longstaff if it's ever a choice that needs making, squad health permitting.

Right now it's probably a toss-up between Kane and Mbappe ?

I thought he linked up well with Anderson

Playing through at least one injury for a while now.

I thought that was fans in the crowd at first, 'kin 'ell

A few years training with Ibra at national level and being taught that footballing confidence and arrogance on the pitch is a strength would have done him no harm at all

I take your point but he seems more of a Barca player to me, but they're skint nowadays.

I wouldn't mind hearing Henry give an appraisal of Isak tbh

From Arsenal's twitter, worrying.

Aye his corner delivery was a world above Trippier's today tbh.

Class

Well done lad.

Yay, don't have to change my avatar for ages now

That's incredible.

Tbh, the best bit about having him fill in at centre back, is he's not playing full back.

Toney not being in the top 10 strikers in the league is a mad take, he's quality. What he's done since leaving us has been remarkable, I think some here might have a chip on their shoulder because he didn't make it with us for whatever reason. Would take him over Wilson in a heartbeat. Not seen a striker with so much presence and authority on the pitch since Drogba.
