The Russian's were definitely onto something.

We should be banned from FIFA run tournaments for that like.

thought he was about 31 when he joined Arsenal.

Then he told you you'd made a very good point and promptly went home?

it is a really nice shirt though.

The average height in the UK is also 5'10 Personally I feel like anyone shorter than me is a midget, and anyone taller than me is a giant.

Ah god "the bread people" an all

FWIW Leeds' formidable form is W4 L2 D3 which is 1.66 PPG. They've drew 2 of their last 3.

I've had similar feelings regarding Scunthorpe.

About £45m added to his value there.

And people are saying some dude who's been either in a hospital gown or immobile, slow and inaffective when on the pitch, albeit with a few "nice touches" and "movement" is better than the two who've actually delivered more in terms of goals and assists. I'm no fan of either Perez or Diame in the #10 role, but from the little I've seen of De Jong, I sincerely doubt he is the answer. I have no issues with him coming back and proving everyone wrong and making the spot his own. But Rafa should sign an actual #10 sharpish and let all these people fight for the spot or play elsewhere in the team (like Diame in CM, Perez LW or LS, etc). If Rafa isn't playing Diame in CM or Perez as a LS in the Championship (where I'm the same in thinking they'd be better there in the right system - like 4-3-3) then he probably isn't going to in the Premiership.

We obviously shouldn't bring him back as the answer (nobody has suggested this) but when we signed him he was very highly rated. He was a pretty exciting buy iirc. It's pretty much impossible to take anything away from his time here from a footballing perspective, just that he's made of glass and/or the unluckiest bloke alive.

What are you flapping you gums about man. His competition is Diame and Perez who have collectively been average at best in the Championship.

His brother's scored 54 in 91 since going back over there mind We need to buy a proper number 10 like, but I'd be more excited with the prospect of Siem behind the striker than Perez or Diame, and you would imagine we'd be looking to shift atleast one of them.

What are people imagining about Siem? He was basically perminantly injured here. Perez and Diame are not Premiership quality No 10s, we know that for a fact. De Jong maybe?

Haven't seen a great deal of him tbh but he starts behind the striker for Fulham. He might be a Lallana type who can sort of play anywhere though, you get that feeling from him but I'm not sure.

Think he'd replace Diame/Perez?

Him starting a game isn't evidence he's fully fit though, if anything him starting one game and being on the bench the next is a sign he's not. He's obviously fully recovered from his injury but that's different.

If Gayle was fully fit and up to speed there's absolutely no chance he'd have started on the bench.

"relatively successful"

he seems canny rattled in that interview tbh.

Gayle 6.8 At that point you'd like to think most journalists would have thought "ahh, maybe this isn't such a good idea" and scrapped the article.

honestly think he just puts it on at this point.
