Also, the under 15 GK signed from Leyton Orient last year, is now playing for our Under 18’s already. They’ve moved him up permanently.

I mentioned in here a few weeks ago about the high hopes the club have for the Under 15’s group with them, in the clubs view, being the second best team in the country for their age group (behind only Chelsea). They played Liverpool away last week and beat them 7-2. I also mentioned about quite a few of the under 15’s playing for England. Two of those players got hattricks in the game.

One and the same.

It’s the only game that can kill him. Another defeat to them would be unforgivable.

A miss and it would finish him tbh. It was actually exceptional leadership/captaincy Bruno taking responsibility for it. He could afford the miss, Woltemade couldn’t.

Someone needs to have a word with him instructing him to prioritise the derby now imho. He needs to prepare for that game like his job depends on it. If we fail to perform again in that, he’ll lose the stadium completely imho. That has to be his priority number one.

I’d also suggest he’s carrying weight imho.

Genuinely didn’t think you were that good. Kudos for a decent season but you scored with a questionable pen, a worldie cross that any less than geriatric RB would’ve shut off and a winner on the break. Fair play. I just wasn’t that impressed by you and feel like if we were playing one game a week, like you are, we’d have battered you. I do always like Lewis-Potter mind. He’s underrated imho.

Totally agree. As weak as piss on set pieces imho. Wouldn’t want him at all tbh.

Aye. Shame Tuchel knows his from his time at Chelsea tbh. Didn’t he give him his debut? Cant see how he’s not Englands starting LB at the WC at this rate. He’d be miles more of a loss than Livramento tbh. Also can’t see how there won’t be massive clubs circling this summer for him, particularly if we don’t get Europe …

Ask if they would take the 100 million euros plus Elanga and Wissa?

Wonder if they’d take a straight swap for Elanga, Wissa and the £30m they paid back?

He’s absolutely elite. Like top top level. I’m 46 and he’s the best LB of my lifetime comfortably. Just hope he doesn’t get unsettled when Tino goes.

Was about to make the same point. They really weren’t that good. NUFC of last season would’ve blitzed them.

Rayan with a PL goal and assist in two games…..

TBF, I’ve been saying it for months. He's fucking woeful. Even at 15 goals a season he’s a terrible deal commercially. Fuck knows how you’d describe him with his current output…

Need to get this lad on the Joelinton diet asap. Weak as piss.

Not just saying it after the event but I wouldn’t have. He’s fucking hopeless. Genuinely. Cunt has 72 year old knees. The only race he’s in danger of winning is ‘quickest way to waste £55m of all time’. The worst use of funds in many a long year this prick.

Disaster. A terrible use of funds. in what should have been a summer of progress, we spent mega money and regressed.

Aye. Anyone critical of KK can fuck clean off tbh.

Agreed. His ‘Neville’ moment has already happened tbh. Too many times.

Love Eddie. Think he’s dignity and class personified. I think his biggest mistake tonight was in starting Wissa. In respect of the bigger picture, the disjointed mess we’re all seeing now is as a result of; 1) The summer being a total clusterfuck. 2) ZERO time on the grass which is where he does his best work. 3) The lack of structure above him since Staveley left. We’ve also got to remember that he’s never experienced 2-3 games per week in his previous management roles so this is all learning to him too. When we were in the CL a couple of years ago, it was his first time and now he’s got that responsibility with a totally dysfunctional front 3. Given European football is likely not going to happen next year, I’d ask you, who do you back to take us back there playing one game per week? I can’t think of anyone better. Genuinely. I’d wager we’ll be top 4/5 next year when only playing once per week. He’ll have also learnt from the last summer too. Tonali will be shipped early, he’ll have been working with Wilson on incomings. I feel we have to back him through to the beginning of next season personally. Last summers window was a disgrace but he’s intelligent enough to know that imho and if wasn’t all on him.

Because we don't have a bottomless pit and they hinder us moving forwards. Staveley said we couldn't afford to get one wrong and, generously, we've got 3 wrong at a minimum last summer. Doesn't matter how much our revenue has moved forwards, we cannot possibly be in a position to waste the best part of £200m. They're all tied into long term contracts on good wages. They won't be easy to shift. We therefore cannot use those funds on players we have actually proactively and properly scouted as opposed to panic buys like some of last summers. That's why it matters.

PIF bought us for £300m. We've just spaffed over 33% of that amount on two players who are nowhere near good enough and never will be. In commercial terms, that's fucking criminal decision making. In most organisations, there would be huge conseqeunces for it.

Because Elanga has all the technical ability of a fucking non-league player. Wissa has the knees of a 72 year old. Ramsey has at least shown some technical ability, some press resistance and an ability to both think and move at the same time. Elanga can't think and Wissa can't move.
