Ghandis Flip-Flop

And where are you getting the idea that there is a lack of autonomy beyond that normally experienced coming from exactly? The bloke has been here a matter of fucking weeks man, I’d strongly wager he has little to no involvement in player identification this window. By all accounts he'll still be doing his initial audit if every interview or article I’ve seen regarding him is correct. if there are ructions between Howe and Mitchell, of which there is currently no evidence for (I'd argue Eddies interview last month was aimed more at Bunce than Mitchell), I wouldn’t be surprised if it were Howe that lost out in that battle, rightly or wrongly. Given that this would be the second DOF he's had a poor working relationship with. What with those owning the club having a preference for this model like most clubs these days.

I get the impression the opposite will be true. Especially given that Mitchell is more focused on building from the academy up. Ashworth has never stayed anywhere for any length of time

Tbf the HLTCO guy on Twitter seems absolutely sound and has never spoken of us in a bad way that I’ve heard. One of the few football twitter types I actually bother to listen too

I honestly tell you look at Arsenal Twitter or even one of the AFTV shows on YouTube. He's obviously not well, but at least it’s in a "awww bless he's not all there way" some of the Arsenal lot on the other hand

It’s only because of our proximity to it tbh, two minutes on Arsenal Twitter makes Burnsie look positively normal tbh

Burn is out of Contract next summer along with Schar and Lascelles. Do you not think it prudent to sort that position out before they leave and other clubs know we’re desperate?

Watch your letterbox

Well by that logic the same would apply to Salah, DeBruyne and closer to home Hall, Livramento (and Guehi if he signs)

Chelsea are a basket case club though, with a history of casting out players that have gone on to become exceptional without ever getting a kick there. They don’t have a strategy beyond "gotta sign them all". So purchasing players from there especially before they’ve cemented their position isn’t the worst play at all.

I despise this kind of nonsense. Nearly as much as you apparently hate commas

Last I checked he isnt still living in Paraguay, he's already moved significant distances from home twice

Only thing I can really remember about him was he was ridiculously lucky not to conceded a penalty against Jacob Murphy, during the infamous Havertz elbow game at Stamford Bridge a few years back

He didn’t look out of place in the games he played under SBR, if memory serves we didn’t lose any of the games he played. Given some of the utter cloggers that have regularly started in the years since, I think it illustrates how fine a line there is between making it and fading into Northern League obscurity

Darren Ambrose Jamie Mclen David Edgar

You’re preaching to the choir here, I’m not the one claiming otherwise

Well unless I imagined it, we did manage just that two years ago, so I wouldn’t say it was impossible

Are we in the CL this season like?

I’m here too in sympathy

It doesn’t matter if they were injured before the season starts, they’re still not available to play in games during that season. Honestly at this point you’re twisting more than a Mackem over their official attendances being clearly bollocks

Not to mention the fact that the most expensively assembled squad in history, might be expected to have a bit more depth to it than a squad which still saw Paul Dummett and Matt Ritchie get minutes last season. And please try to tell me they’re not lower than third choice with a straight face FFS

Never even down to third choice? So I guess 17 year old Lewis Miley playing almost every game for half a season, was due to Eddie's choice. FFS man you’re getting to how do you know Froggy is talking shite, because his lips are moving territory here like 🤦🏻

Your opinion does not equal indisputable facts like 😂

It’s why I still hold out some hope of Adidas doing official reissues at some point. I think they’d be mad not to anyway

Also really quick people tend to have lots of hamstring issues, best to have someone just off that utterly rapid pace as long as all the other boxes are ticked

He said the same last year when Barnes was in the next room
