Wor Jonjo. He’s gonna looked at as a joke after all the money came in but he was pivotal in the Champo season and his goals were instrumental in us staying up 19-20.

The one player I hope doesn’t get mentioned in this thread is Vurnon Anita. I never EVER saw anything from this man and I don’t want his to have some sort of cult like status at the club he absolutely does not deserve. Murphy on the other hand will be a contender in a few years. Overpayed - yes, underperformed - yes but as the years ticked on, Murphy become a solid backup player and his efforts will not be forgotten. Hopefully he can continue on next season.

I couldn’t believe Riviere was doing backflips and summersaults after scoring against QPR(?) after a 21 goal drought with not even a single contribution. Coffin was sealed at that exact moment.

Obertan was the first time I actively saw a player bottling challenges. I at least thought professionals gave their all until I saw him. He’s the worst. I wanna say it was Arsenal away 2011-2012, the 2-1 last minute dagger. I just couldn’t believe I was seeing a professional footballer avoiding contact.

Just watch a few comps of him and you’ll see he’s like an actual footballer. At the Euros it seemed like he was just a really good positional player being in the right place at the right time but I didn’t realize how good he actually was on the ball, you’ll be surprised to see how many strikers he leaves on the ground as he tempts them to press only to run past them with ease. Very nippy, very sharp.

James Milner! Most on here celebrated his departure.

He supports Man Utd. Always felt that had Santon stayed with us, he would have had more stability in his career.

Aye went on to have a hell of a career with Swansea, too. Probably an all time legend for them.

Felt great being in one of those "this is why 'Blank club' want 'said payer' comps. After seeing one, wouldn't even be mad if that was our only signing this summer, he's that good!

France Argentina coming up in the Olympics should be fun. France have Lacazette, Matetta and Olise as their stars, Argentina have Otemendi and Alvarez as theirs.

Hopefully this works out how the random punt on Ayoze did.

Was looking at the assists stats for last season and was surprised to see Coufal had 7. Wan Bissaka won't get you that.

Chelsea buying all these kids and the only experience they bought was Dewsbury Hall. Great to see. That kid will never see the pitch.

Think he's signed to play left back. Arteta going for the Pep lite four CBs thing.

Trent was crying when Klopp left, Salah and Van Dijk are aging out, Slott could be a potential disaster. Plus they have two left wingers in Gakpo and Diaz. This would be the worst time to join Liverpool. If Grealish is 100 Mil, Gordon is 150. They don’t have the money. Hopefully they go for Bakayoko at PSV or something.

Awful news. In my head, Bordeaux are like the West Ham of the French League.

I’m hoping more for a beatdown of epic proportions sending him back to Argentina. Been watching a lot of prison content lately, something for him to be “put on the door”.

Chelsea pre season lineup against Wrexham. Would love to see Enzo Fernandez walking into this dressing room.

Remember him against Man U in the League Cup on the left? Looked a different player, competent. Has Gordon ever played on the right. Still think there's some juice left in Miggy.

Hopefully the lettering will be yellow. Barca doesn’t look quite right with the white.

Jorge Sampaoli is Argentinian and he coached Chile to a Copa America beating Argentina in the final. Managers want to win full stop. If it does have to be English - Potter, he can at least coach.

West Ham in for Wan Bissaka too.

But the Premier League has been built on foreigners, players and managers. It’s not like other leagues where they had a Conte, Mancini, Del Bosque, etc. Our league was built on Ferguson, Wenger, Mourinho and now Pep. I think we’re the exception to the rule in that respect.

I really do hate him.

England stats at the Euros Goals Kane - 3 Bellingham - 2 Saka - 1 Watkins - 1 Palmer - 1 Assists Guehi - 1 Toney - 1 Rice - 1 Palmer - 1 Bellingham - 1 Foden 007 - nothing.
