Great signing (St. Max would be another one); the travesty is that they'll be managed by Steve fucking Bruce.
-
Under Rafa I'd be buzzing at this.
-
He's a really good player though
-
No it's not, he's a very good player. Good at everything really; decent dribbler, good target man, eye for a pass, power, great work-rate. 40 million is a bit on the high side, but I really like him as a player and it's nice (all things considered) that we've finally made a move for the top target on our list for a change.
-
Any other season, with another manager I'd be insanely excited by this. This kid has everything in his locker to be an outstanding player.
-
Very good signing. However how many of the new signings will be starting? If they have 5/6 new players starting could be a big ask for it to gel well. Completely different approach to Fulham though apparently Fulham are a massive anomaly though. Almost every other team in the last few years who have come up from the Championship and spent large amounts have stayed up (Watford, Brighton, Wolves and Bournemouth to name a few). As much as I hate the club, they'll more than likely stay up with points to spare.

He's in Qatar, not Abu Dhabi.
-
He doesn't have 18bn, man Anyway, I'm done pissing on people's chips.
-
only worth £18bn the daft cunt There's no way he's worth that much. I could be wrong but are you not mixing him up with Sheikh Khalifa?
-
Yeesh, saw the last name and almost wet myself with excitement. Saw the full name and now I'm pretty deflated. Not a big fan of this guy tbh...
-
aye be fucking madness to sell him At any price? How much is the minimum you'd sell him for? Not trying to be obstinate here but the guy has had, what, 10 games of top-flight football? Fwiw I really like him as a player, I just think we'd be mad to not consider selling him for over 30 million. It's not about raw numbers but the abdication of hope that such a move represents. Being unable or unwilling to hold on to the rare good talent that comes from an Academy like ours - whether or not it should be a rare thing is another conversation - is perfectly in line with the Ashley protocol. I agree with the sentiment but the reality is if we can improve the team by selling an overvalued asset it's a sensible thing to do imo. This is obviously in some eggs in moonshine world where we would use all the money to actually improve the playing squad... Hope?

I agree it'd be a shame but 30-40 million is Tielemans money. I guess it would depend on how highly you rate him off the back of half a season...
-
Although he's looked great for the most part, it's his first season in the top-flight and he'll be 22 soon. Romanticism aside (local lad etc.), for anything close to 30 million we'd be stupid not to sell him; for our current situation we could find a better player for that kind of money relatively easily.

Hate to say this but fair play to Pardew on bein sports. Not spouting the usual cliched nonsense despite Keys' loaded questions.
-
Almiron has incredible work rate too. Exciting signing if it comes off.
-
Good player from the little I've seen of him.
-
I've held back on commenting on this for a while now but, from friends and former clients of Ms. Staveley, I can say with 98% conviction that she's an absolute bullshit artist.
-
I don't fucking get penalty kick-takers, man, smack it hard as you like down the middle and 9 times out of 10 it's in.
-
Manquillo is a fucking problem, like.
-
Ref is shocking so far.
-
Keys, FS, Wise and Gray- predictably- talking absolute shite on Bein just now. ugh.
