He’s probably their most important player. He won’t come cheap at all; we’re talking as much or potentially more than Guehi. Great player. Would be very happy with either tbf.

It’s common sense, really. Players are quicker to settle if they’re UK-based and Howe prefers them. For the most part, we’ve done very well in the market by getting a mix of prem experience and high quality established (not cheap by any means) players from abroad. Why criticize this approach when it’s been fairly successful thus far?

I doubt it’ll be for much less at all. May even be more . Class player though.

Because he’s far worse than Guehi and not that much cheaper probably.

Yes please to Tapsoba.

I’ve said this before but he’s legitimately not even as good as Gillespie, let alone Dubravka. He’s a really awful keeper.

If they ended up with Guehi, I wonder if they’d consider selling Quansah, and for how much? Common sense says less than 70m but you never know these days.

I’d take Chalobah for around 30m if it means getting in a decent RW as well tbh.

So VAR doesn’t correct poor on-field decisions now? Great.

Exactly .

Fair. Must have missed the others doing it.

That’s the crux of it for me. Braindead refs are rewarding this kind of behaviour. It’s the same when people say “if he goes down there, that’s a pen”; why should they have to? you’re asking for players to ham it up/ cheat in order to get refs to make the right decisions. Ridiculous.

It was the perfect game to showcase what Longstaff brings to the team; industry off the ball and lots of covering. In games where we’ve got more than 25% possession is when he looks like the weaker link in the middle. Must admit, I was seething when I saw Sean being all buddy-buddy with that diving melt at the end of the match though. Sounds shan, but he needs more bite in him. I don’t want my midfielders to be sweetie-pies on the pitch.

Phew…

He better be good if he’s carrying on like that .

This nonce loves giving us yellows.

Didn’t he score a hat trick against our youth team?

Almost lost my voice screaming thinking Pawson didn’t play advantage with Gordon through on goal.

Come on, Lewis. So reckless.

Living dangerously here.

“Violent conduct” ffs. Put me a room with Pawson or that shit-hairline Chilean tart and you’ll see some actual violent conduct.

Are the refs in South America any good? Just bring in death threats to match officials if it improves the quality of these jabronis.

Misread your post. Definitely not a fucking red. Ref’s a god damn joke. Hasn’t made a right call all game. Dick.

It’s not, like.

Pawson being an incompetent fucking dickhead. Who would have guessed. Fucking bulkshit.
