Super Duper Branko Strupar

You don't ask people to visit the UK and then send them to Elland Road.

He did okay whilst having little influence? Then started doing shite after that increased? Funny that.

This is the Willock thread

Big fan of Sterling, regardless of him being at an awful club. Will always want him to do well as an individual.

Oof, unlucky Raheem.

Minging club A scores against minging club B

Probably agree about Dubz. Whether or not he wants to stay or not I'm not sure on.

Lots of us in those lads' comments about their disbelief.

Because if we don't other than Pope we'd have Dubravka, (maybe) Karius and Darlow (or is Darlow's contract up? Not sure). One is okay but wanted away, another doesnt play, and the other is surplus to requirements out on loan. I'd be very surprised if we didn't sign a young keeper, personally.

Its very frustrating

Bernardo, man.

Tuchel out.

Maybe. I'm sure he's not concerned what other peoples' predictions for him were, mind. Or what anyone gains from someone else's predictions anyway.

I dont see us singing more than 1 wide player. That'd give us new singing, Gordon, Maxi and Miggy. Murphy will stay to be 5th choice for there I think.

Dont think anyone said it'd be "better", more that it was "understandable". He obviously expected more game time, I think that's clear. The fact he hasnt had it will be disappointing clearly, but maybe its his fault. Maybe its not, I dont watch PSG to know. You cant knock his ambition, but it hasnt worked out this year. Doubt it's going to have cost him much career wise. He'll get a move somewhere and from the confidence I have in our scouting he'll be good.

You'd imagine we'd only be after 1 front 3 forward, and that being a wider forward. So it'd be one of Ekitike if he's even a consideration, Maddison or Pedro. Unless we're also looking at Maddison covering more than 1 position. But if we're after a Ugarte type we'd probably not be after more forward CM. Ekitike was also considered a 2 position player from what I read pre PSG move. Primarily a RF but also able to cover CF. GK, LB, CB, DCM, WF I think will be what we're looking for.

Get him in.

I saw a programme about that street not so long ago. It's like the worst street in Philadelphia.

Jade Thirlwall will be proud.

I remember posting in here during that time at Liverpool he was the future of English football. He was clinical af and absolutely unplayable for a while. Mad his decline.

Why would you do this?

Kenedy had some decent games but his performance overall wasn't particularly good. And it definitely felt at the time it was the best he'd performed in any season since he first joined Chelsea. He was hardly some amazing asset that was poorly done by. He was afforded many chances. The fact we're even talking about Kenedy kind of proves the point to me. Some distinctly average loanee with no proven history. We spent what we'd gained in sales, of course we absolutely couldnt dream of spending more, and there was one flop in Muto but what kind of striker would you expect for 9.5m even back then. Rondon was a great loan. The second half of that season we were mint and ripe for kicking on, but of course that was never going to be entertained by Fat cunt. Rafa wasn't asking for much and he was offered even less, any kind of manager worth their salt would have walked away from the situation. Frustrating as fuck too because in 19/20 so many other PL teams were bang average and had we continued on the path we'd ended the previous season we'd have looked really good. But instead we completely under performed with a league position gifted to us. To deny Rafa the praise he rightly deserves for his time here is mental to me and any argument to the counter is completely ignoring vast swathes of context.

Howay, man.

Im guessing Kamara will still be injured for this?
