Good signing if they get him. Like him a lot. Was class at Sassuolo a couple of seasons back.

Linked with Douglas Luiz, one year left on his villa contract 

Won Olympic gold last year for Brazil partnering our very own Bruno in central midfield. 

Don't think he's shown his best at Villa, but think he could look great alongside Joe and Bruno in a three.

Unbeleivable that he is still just 24 years old too. Good age.

He cost Man Utd a fortune

 

 

Only to get sent on loan to Sunderland man. Damn

I don't expect it to happen.  I actually said it's very unlikely to happen but it would be ideal for us.

 

Considering we probably can't afford the same bid we made a week ago.  The loan and compulsory buy move is maybe our only possible way of signing him this window. But who knows for sure.

 

Recent football transfers have seen crazier stuff happen. 

 

 

 

Yeah, it would work great for us. I just think Watford would tell us to do one.

Fair enough

Too small. 

 

 

 

I think Koulibaly and Silva are looking a bit old back there.

Having said that I really think you're setting yourself up for some Palava with this Martinez thing. The Liverpool and Southampton games he wasn't really tested aerially.

He wasn’t in the premier league that’s a level above Middlesbrough behave yourself man

Alright man. No big deal if you didn't rate him. He clearly hadn't quite pulled it all together yet, but was showing flashes of brilliance by all accounts. Think it was a sneaky good deal, but by the end of the season it will be infinitely more expensive and difficult to do.

In any case we've gone for a more established player with Wilson being so injury prone and so we'll be just fine. If we do still want a younger prospect at the end of the season I'm sure there will be others out there.

Just now, dcmk said:

It's highly unlikely that's very obvious.

 

But to say it has zero chance is a bit peculiar - much stranger things/deals have happened in football. 

They already turned down a £25 million bid with £5 million add ons, and you think they'll suddenly let him go out on loan initially? With him being a key part of the first team? Can't see it at all really.

But we're already fucked with injuries. ☹️

Most are shorter term ones though, so think we'll be okay.

This opinion is so bad it's unreal. 

 

Lampard has worked wonders with him. He's probably been our best player since he took over and played him in the middle. 

 

Him, Onana and Gueye as a three should be really good.

I'm so glad you posted this man. I was going to go to bat for Iwobi when I saw that, but couldn't be arsed.

He's been really good in central midfield. I've been so happy for him so far this season. The assist to Gordon tonight was lush.

Lampard is showing me some stuff so far. Considering the upheaval with Richarlison leaving and DCL going down I thought you'd be a mess to start the season.

Frank is proving to be infinitely better than Gerrard that's for sure.

Just now, dcmk said:

Loan with a compulsory option to buy next season would be ideal.

Absolutely zero chance of that.

This Tyler Adams is a baller.

But that’s who we decided to sign instead of JP. I don’t really think there is any doubt it was one or the other so I don’t really give a shit how he’s doing against Middlesbrough

That was never the discussion stop it

You said you saw him a fair bit for Watford and he never stood out and wasn't good.

Just now, Kid Icarus said:

About as daft a metric to judge a player on as the 'if Everton are after him he can't be any good' point that you rightly derided earlier today.

Not really. Have you seen how people rave about him on here? I'm sorry, but if he was that good one of the top clubs would have bought him. That is standard with the top clubs in this country, especially with him being at Palace who aren't especially difficult to deal with. Even with a year left this summer, no deal.

When Man United bought him he only managed two premier league games before being sent back to Palace on loan. Come on man. 

Lets see Chelsea are being mentioned and things are looking bad over there and the owner is a bit daft. Maybe they'll pick him up, and we can see what he looks like there.

More than happy with Isak who the club preferred 

Don't try to be slick. No one was comparing the two.

Going to be batshit crazy season if these first 5 games are anything to go by. Brighton, Leeds and Fulham all in top 6 after 5 games wouldn't have been anyone's guess.

Going to be so much fun. Going to be terrifying at the bottom of the table.

Villa, West Ham, Wolves, Leicester and Everton better not get stuck down there too long.

Chelsea are not great. Look all over the place 

They are such a mess.

Don't think the players on a whole really suit Tuchel's system.

Havertz is not doing the business in this setup, neither is Mount, Jorginho in a central midfield two in the 3-4-2-1 is really dodgy. No one to get on the end of crosses for them upfront.

We could really make a bit of a push this season if we can have a bit of luck with injuries.

Fulham get the win. Wow.

Pulisic has looked so poor since he came on  

They've put him on at wing back

Chelsea look terrible. No Gallagher to blame today either.

Let’s stick to talking about our favourite player in black and white stripes who doesn’t play for NUFC

If he stays at Watford the full season the competition will be fierce next summer. The boy can play. Serious talent.

Thoughts on Adam Armstrong?

Looking a lot better since Southampton ditched that 4-2-2-2 and are now using him as an inverted forward.

Happy for him. Think he'll have a good season if they keep him in that role.
