Lovely goal. Nice find by DeBruyne.

Only matter of time for City

This might be fixing to be one of the greatest smash and grabs of all time.

some bloke in the cried literally watching that haaland header through his phone, jumped up to almost celebrate with a face whilst still watching through his phone.

 

Why do these people go to the match? 

So they can put the clips of them at the match on social media for likes.

We can sit and enjoy watching whilst we are in Europe.

Amen brother. Amen!

Next season with Southampton, Leicester and likely Leeds will be really tough 

Can you imagine man? What a nightmare.

Looks like someone broke the Sky camera that was doing the post match interview 

Still so grateful we came straight up each time we got relegated under that joker Ashley.

Such a tough league the Championship. So easy to just end up stuck down there if you don't bounce back up straight away.

 Howd he not pass that?

I almost want them to concede just for that

That is fucking unbelievable man

If we sign Tierney, Targett will want out. He might need convinced to stay.

Between the Prem, Europe, and the two domestic cups there'll be plenty of games to go round, especially as you wouldn't want to be running Tierney into the ground playing him all the time.

Targett can't even get in ahead of Dan Burn, think he'll be off

Well Burn for all his imperfections made the position his own and was part of us being the best defence in the league, and so he was never going to be rushed out of the first 11.

On top of that Targett never really seemed to get back to full fitness, as he had setbacks after he first came back. Needs a good pre season to get back on track.

It's important to remember that when playing, Tierney is probably top 3 right backs in the league. He's absolutely class at both ends.

 

Of course his injury record is a concern but surely out medical department will do a risk assessment.

Left back, but yeah. He is absolute quality. 

Just now, SUPERTOON said:

I’d be surprised if Targett is still here tbh 

Think he will. He was great last season.

Just been off form due to the injury layoffs.

Don't think Burn at left back is going to be a thing after this season and so Targett will be solid depth.

Oh dear ...

It appears tgarve is Xhaka's agent

Tierney’s a permacrock if Arsenal don’t want him we don’t.

 

This is the guy for us at LB.

 

https://football-italia.net/newcastle-united-keen-to-snap-up-monzas-carlos-augusto/

Never seen this guy play but from what I've read since we've been linked he's amazing going forward. 

Would have no arguments from me.

5 minutes ago, Ikon said:

Or just go for a LB that isn’t injured as much. 

Yeah ... 

Tierney is right up there though. Really high calibre signing in that position. And still just 25 years old.

I imagine his price is reflecting the injury problems and so he can be had for really good value, hence the interest.

The medical would have to be rigorous though.

Just now, tgarve said:

He’s had 2 sendings off in 6 years including none this season

 

don’t think he’s a bad player at all been great for arsenal this season 

 

I get what you are saying I just think a bit of experience and passion isn’t a bad thing ( see trippier ) 

That red card stat is genuinely surprising! 

I feel like most games I watch of them he's involved in some silliness and is about to lose his head.

Think we're good on experience to be honest. There's so many fantastic players out there. A Xhaka move feels outdated and a bit lazy.

Just now, Andy84 said:

Brighton are signing Milner tbf 

He's on a free, and it looks like more of a mentorship and perhaps future coaching role.

Signing Mane for significant money and wages would be so bad.

The main club that has been linked with him has been Chelsea, which probably tells you all you need to know.

I've just come from one thread espousing Xhaka and in here it's Mane.

These guys have had their best years already and the only way is down for them.

There are younger players with talent to go out and sign. 

Imagine we went out this summer and signed say Aubameyang instead of Isak? Like Chelsea did!

Got to move on from these old heads. There is no excitement or upside to them.

Then when the likes of Brighton turn up with their young stars and run rings around them it will just be a horrid look.

Crystal Palace man ...

Big respect to Roy, but wow. They really can't figure out someone to bring in for the longer term?

Unless maybe they want Potter and he's asked for a year out before getting back into the game?

If Targett is back on it next season and can be a reliable rotation piece then Tierney would be great. He is very very good defensively and attacking.

He’s a starting player for a team challenging for the title?

 

He would be ideal as our 4th midfielder no? Had a good season just gone also and would add experience 

Can't always just look at the stats though. He's got a decent number of goals and assists this season, but man, he is slow and ponderous. Would look even worse in our setup.

Arsenal pushed him much higher up the pitch as Zinchenko played that inverted full back role this season and so he helped control games in the middle of the park instead.

On top of that he is a hot head and a red card possibility every single game. Think he even flipped off the Arsenal fans at one point after they turned on him for getting sent off.

Were doing well signing quality up and coming players and should stick with that. We already have a decent amount of quality experienced players.

Moves for guys on the way down is something I hope we don't ever do.

Because his aim is to put out content that'll maximise engagement. Over the top reactive content will receive more views, comments and shares. That's the whole point, he carries on the way he does for clout.

Shockingly enough that dude is apparently exactly the same way outside of his channel and videos. He doesn't have an off button.

My God man ... 

Please help me understand your thinking behind this.

Because this is genuinely terrifying.

1 minute ago, SUPERTOON said:

Hard to tell with the way Leicester are set up tbh. I think he would be brilliant for us. Tielemans I agree on.

I'm very sceptical, but you may be right.

Be interesting to see where he ends up next, and how he performs.
