I really wouldn't look into anything during pre-season, they're just to gain match fitness. Neither us or Villa are going to defend that poorly in the PL.

Seems entirely unnecessary to offer 300m like

That's the one

Sandro was so bad for the first that I would be suprised if it was anything more than uncompetitive debut hiccups (against a decent side anyway, I know he played 45 against Gateshead).

Bendia bouncing off Schar and Tonali in the buildup too The defending for all the goals (Villa and ours) was really bad like.

High lines and awful defending from both sides on the break going off the highlights? Anderson took his goal so well.

Livramento played over 2000 minutes in the PL at 18/19. He's obviously highly rated and 30m is hardly outrageous for a player you view as Trippier's replacement.

Is the whole restriction of trade thing relevant? I doubt they can stop us buying or selling anyone, they can just punish us for doing so while we compete in their competition? Personally I don't want us to take the piss, 30-35m is about right and unless we're sneaking some daft stuff into the contract somewhere I cannot see how the PL could possibly justify singling it out. It is fair enough if clubs (outside of the usual cunts anyway) want reassurances that we're not going to cheat like

The thing is, he probably would have been worth more if it wasn't for Howe's football making him look like a shite sicknote I don't blame Howe for it, but Maxi's reputation has been damaged the past year due to injuries and being benched. 30-35m is about right imo. Could easily be 45-50m if we'd sold him last season.

They're absolutely shite.

Where does the Pizza Rob moniker come from?

They were picked out by the same people who have chosen Barnes over Diaby.

Doesn't reflect quite as poorly as singing a convicted paedophile's name like. Still amazed they continue to try and give it the big'un after that.

Basically said so himself a couple windows ago I think?

Barnes is never going to have a game like Maxi against Walker, or like when he single handedly ran the entire Everton team ragged, but you would imagine our chance creation as a group will improve when Howe has players better suited to what we're trying to do. Tonali helps that massively as well, as will Gordon.

It's the opposite of what you need in a counter pressing side like, it was mental

Burn and Targett?

Regarding Maxi's off the ball workrate, he literally sits on the floor and moans to the ref multiple times per game after being tackled, it's very likely the coaching staff have told him ad nauseum to pack that in so it's fair to assume he's just not taking things full on board like. I love Maxi and I cannot be the only one who used to watch it happen just wishing he would get the fuck up as he's essentially just working himself out of the first XI He definitely tracks back, but it's just hard to imagine him being a player someone like Howe would enjoy coaching.

I don't think we've improved our first XI yet in the way they have like, and they already caught up last year tbh, they were brilliant after Emery took over and had he got in a little sooner they could have properly challenged for the Champions League. The hope for us next season, imo, is that our improved squad depth will allow us to play at our best more consistently across a full season. It's not as exciting a window as I think many of us would like but we were really dominant against the majority of the league due to Howe's style of play anyway, no reason that should change.

Clery is great like. Video pretty much sums the situation up perfectly.

Ganso! Blast from the past. I wiah I'd watched more Brazilian football. It's a shame how much talent we probably miss out on mainly watching only the major European leagues.

Neither does James.

£6m seems unlikely for a 32 year old shite keeper like

It's fair enough not really understanding a signing, but it's mad how some people insist on trying to convince everybody that Howe, Ashworth, and the scouting team who got us into the Champions League, are infact completely wrong and they, a layman, are right.

His worst one yet
