I don't doubt people defect but it's nowhere being a concentration camp, it's a functioning country that's striving despite being heavily sanctioned for decaded by having the temerity to withstand Western occupation unlike their brothers and sisters in the South. I could show you videos upon videos of American citizens being oppressed by the state but most don't view them as the hell-ish country that they are

We need a feeder/partner club, it's been the apt way for a lot of clubs to give their youngsters experience for over a decade. Arsenal, Chelsea, Man City, Wolves, Brighton et al from the Prem alone have one

We've had 3 months of dull transfer whining, a minor pivot to reality shouldn't be so disconcerting Besides, politics and sports are and have always been entwined, can't indulge in escapism indefinitely

Western bias and hypocrisy is something else, the power of propaganda NK is no where near to being the biggest concentration camp or even one USA has the the number one spot by miles accounting for prison population, occupied Palestine is also one we can unfortunately observe, challenge yourself to think why you might think NK is (in absence of any evidence)

Young multimillionaire living in a foreign country gravitating towards the metropolitan areas is perfectly rational.

I'm expecting Wissa to start, we don't have the luxury of benching both

must win game

no, but he has the talent to eventually qualify

He'll eventually go up a level, assuming his recent injury record maintains

Nor should they, most of us aren't overly enamoured by a jobs either. The days of player & club ultra affinity are long gone when youth players now (deservedly) make £ms a year. It's business first and foremost, and has been for a long while now, fans are yet to catchup.

£80m or whatever, I'd be so happy

more like the opportunities

it's just a social media post

Some of you guys are acting like teenagers tracking & getting irate about every inconsequential thing their favourite popstar tweets/posts on their socials. Botman liking a message from Isak is such a non-starter.

You'd hope they'd learnt a lesson from the Isak saga. Bluechips need to always have 3 years on their contract.

he's got talent

7 , overpays, late in the window signings, not a lot of, if any, proven talents/level raisers, a bunch of potentials & hopefuls. That said, given how chaotic it has been due to the Isak situation, grant them some leeway on the score.

Would rather he stayed as we're light on numbers but can't be mad at that deal. The buy back clause is a nice touch.

I stated he wasn't up to scratch but got pelters from the signing fetish crew

I'll give it a 7 Gotta get most of your good work done while preaseson is active. Signing key players three games into the season suggests poor planning topdown (even with the difficult circumstances)

Ederson at City makes too much sense

this isn't true, let's not rewrite history now

Actually shocking transfer, he was my #1 target prior to Isak's bs but £55 for a 29 yo who's off to AfCon is so shortsighted. Looking forward to seeing him go, depth is looking decent as well

pants pulled down

Wharton's the better player. Really rate Anderson tho and it's a shame he had to sold when he was.
