John P

He's far from bang average, he's an excellent player. The own goal last night was him trying to cover the mistake of the other centre back (Richards?) who left him completely exposed by trying to press Joelinton in midfield. Howe has turned Burn into one of the most consistent centre backs in the league, he'd do wonders with Guehi. If he's available for £30-40m due to his contract situation it's an absolute no brainer, he's a proven PL and international centre back with years left in him

Best finisher at the club tbh

Is Will Hughes not weak and slow?

Wharton on the bench for Palace

If only Brentford had a striker they valued at £70m+ to counteract it...

Could take a while for him to be back to full speed. Can be months depending on severity

Remember watching Italy under 21s when we signed Tonali and he was on all set pieces, and they were fucking class. Get him whipping the buggers in

Would be interesting to see how many touches of the ball he's had in his last 4 or 5 sub appearances. He comes on and disappears

Makes me think of Joey Barton. Not cool

Which podcast is this please? Would like to give it a listen

Cunha could easily start as the right winger, with licence to drift infield to create, with Livramento overlapping. It's essentially what we did with Miggy on the right as he would always cut inside and it created space for Trippier to overlap. The only difference really is that Cunha is 10 times better than Miggy. He hasn't played much there for Wolves but he seems the sort of player who has the attributes to play anywhere along the front line. A quick look at his highlights from this season shows him scoring and creating plenty from an inside right position

I wasn't aware there were 5 different attacking midfield positions and also 5 different forward positions, how the hell are they defined?!

Would be fantastic if he was an option off the bench for Sunday

One of his goals against Reading was a cracking strike: https://x.com/MagpieMediaX/status/1909530007422087539?s=19

So Villa are still going to breach PSR rules despite selling Diaby and Duran to Saudi Arabia for a combined £120m, and also doing a couple of dodgy Anderson/Vlachodimos style swaps last summer. PSR is an absolute joke, if it weren't for Howe and Emery being fantastic coaches we'd be nowhere near challenging the top 4/5, it's ridiculous
