Large portion? Not true by any sensible definition.

Pav’s career actually went to shit by his late 20s. I don’t think he was ever a first choice keeper at a remotely decent level ever again.

Pav was a lovely man but a poor keeper who was the glaring weakness in that Keegan side.

His predecessors were Darlow, Rob Elliot etc. As @Yorkie said, an obscene upgrade on that utter shit.

Like the club have that level of foresight.

Yeah, this.

He was behind Burn in the pecking order at LB pretty much as soon as Botman got into the team. Eczema. Have a word.

He hasn’t played because he’s not good enough. But he’s our third choice LB at best. I wasn’t expecting better.

The absolute fannies who are responsible for helping Eddie recruit players.

The fact that we have no striker.

If that’s the starting Xl heads should roll.

Yes. I think he had about 5 bad games. Admittedly he’s slow now and that needs protecting but that’s been the case with a lot of CBs. The interceptions and passing range he gives you more than compensates.

Schar is our best defender and he’s been brilliant so far.

True, and that in itself is absolutely deplorable.

1 shot on target last season in the PL suggests otherwise but I wish him the best for 36 out 38 games next season.

Guehi isn’t a RCB, but agree in spirit some cover / potential there would be good. I have no faith in us to sign 4 quality players between now and the start of Sep though. I really wish I did.

Surely everyone knows we can’t start the season with Will fkin Osula second choice striker?

Manchester has more for millionaire footballers though. We all know that, surely. Newcastle is not a shithole though.

What’s Liverpool got to do with it?

How will it help us in terms of PSR? We can’t sign anyone.

Why is that brilliant from Jordan? Hope is exactly right in what he was saying about Mitchell not being the right fit but better than no one.

We’ll be signing Jean-Philippe Mateta to lead the line at this rate.

Can we get rid of Dubravka and one of the other shit ones now?

Something has been different since the cup final or around then. I think the first contact was probably at that point. Weird way of doing it. Identifying targets early, sounding out interest and putting a financial plan for selling / affordability in place.

Everyone in the media is telling him he’s the best striker in the league if not Europe. He believes it and I don’t blame him. It must have crossed his mind more than once ‘why the fuck am I getting less than Jordan Pickford and Harry Maguire?’ I’d be wanting more too. We all would.
