You clearly haven’t read or digested what I’ve said ?

What’s the Billing thing?

It’s on him actually ?

Airport spotters have (HBA) but not plane spotters ?

He’s not that well known. I’ve not heard of him until today ? He looks good. I’m just putting myself in EH potential thinking. Would you take Billing AND a very good additional forward for the total cost of MS? Or would you rather just sign MS?

Last time I watched Immobile was at Dortmund and thought he was canny but a bit one dimensional. Remember him having one good year at Torino which probably earned him the move to BD. I’m not saying I don’t rate MS or think Lazio are a big club. Just when I hear world class and one of the best box to box players around I just question why he’s been at Lazio for his almost prime 7 years. It wasn’t a trick question. I’m just thinking do the top scouts see something missing from his game hence asking you as you’ve seen him play.

My logic is very simple. Without examining that closely on initial inspection of MS he looks very tall and powerful and can win the ball back (like Billing) Has lovely body strength holding off players and good in tight areas (like Billing) Scores an odd goal but nothing prolific (Like Billing). Just think Billing looks quicker across the pitch ?‍♂️ If EH is to be believed he’s looking for EPL ready. He probably already has a good relationship with the player. Guessing he’d be a far cheaper/lower risk deal which fits with our FFP issues that keep getting highlighted. He’s also looked very good every time we’ve played against him when at Huddersfield and Bournemouth. So better idea if he’d fit the dressing room. So there’s my logic explained. Based on 5mins of watching MS. Doesn’t mean it’s right or set in stone. It’s what’s called first impressions. Not sure what yours (and others) struggle in understanding that ? So binary on here.

Not seen or heard that much of him. Not knowingly anyway. Tell me his attributes? And why if he’s so good has he been at Lazio for 7 years? Does he have a flaw holding him back?

How don’t you have an opinion as if you’ve not watched him yet you are comparing him also alongside MS? Not understanding your logic ?

How would you describe MS?

Only watched 5mins like I said but they look very similar players. Billing I think looks quicker across the ground. Do you disagree?

Think he’s doing well considering what he took over. He’s made them competitive and we’ve struggled against them twice.

Don’t understand what you are saying?

5mins of YT has him as Joelinton Carrick hybrid. Lacking the pace that I think we need and are missing already in midfield if alongside Bruno and Joelinton. Billing probably cheaper who looks a similar player and probably quicker around the pitch.

Weirdly his retirement shows how important it is to have the right characters in the dressing room. On paper they’ve went big in the summer yet still went backwards on the pitch. No wonder EH is being very careful with our dressing room balance.

Brighton playing some great stuff as usual. Them and Brentford are a real credit to this division. Both very positive teams and clubs.

It’s pretty much nailed on it will be a midfielder this window. A young RB this window or next latest. An attacking options as and when there’s a deal to be made that fits with them always being the most expensive.

Exactly the point I was just going to make. You see that week in week out ?

Brighton look like they’ve signed another little gem with that Mitoma.

I understand what you are saying but if you watch the replay Ederson’s eyes and positioning are all focused and based on Rashford because not only did he continue his run instead of stopping it he even went to shoot until last second where he dummied it for Fernandez to shoot ? Are you honestly saying that’s not interfering with play? @Froggy

Fair play ? Though it’s took an extremely dodgy goal to turn the game. Before that you were waiting for City’s second.

Makes a mockery of Bournemouth disallowed goal against us surely ?

EH confirmed in the press conference Joelinton wants to play Sunday. So I doubt it’s that. Firstly you never want to give the opposition any knowledge of your team early. Also to confirm immediately a decision would reflect poorly on EH as the more it looks like it’s being prolonged the more thought it looks as if he’s given it and less time outsiders can rock the boat pre match. He’ll be on the bench at least unless those above EH request otherwise. Maybe even unused if possible. Would be very surprised he’s not in the squad.
