Deuce

Is he a “flair” player? Always struck me as a fairly direct, goal-scoring wide player. Like a striker who cuts in from the wing.

Feel like we’re finally going to lock down a GK who’s good with his feet just when playing out of the back goes out of vogue.

“structure of payments relating to release clause” You can structure that payment in the form of a wire transfer for £65m.

There’s no way we win that race

Kinda have to distinguish between “technically brilliant” goals and “big moments” goals. e.g. Cisse’s inside-out volley vs. Chelsea the former and Burn’s header in the cup final the latter. Burn’s header could arguably go under both. Tiote vs. Arsenal too.

Doubt there are many managers who’d turn down an opportunity to manage a PL club. Don’t think it’s arrogance at all.

At this point they’re better off sticking with him through the drop.

just want him back

Been playing out of position all season, should be sitting in front of the CBs.

Don’t think I fully internalized that Pep has been at ManCity since 2016. Last decade has been a time warp.

Semenyo strikes me as the kind of player who’s far more important to and influential for Bournemouth than he would be at a bigger club.

Should fire Wilson for selling him to us

I’d have him here in a heartbeat. Age and wages be damned.

Some oddly misplaced hate for the guy. Nowhere near as bad as plenty of others who’ve pulled on the shirt for us in recent years. Was at least an actual footballer, if not at all suited physically for the Premier League.

bring him hyem

Please try a 4-2-3-1 with Woltemade behind Wissa

Which is wild, because our entire style of play, and the squad we’ve built, is predicted on high-intensity pressing.

Could only really see it if Wissa were out on the left and Big Dub central.

Good point. Think we’d have to be extremely dire (out of the cups/CL, treading water in midtable) towards the end of the season for them to move on from Eddie before the summer.

not sure this is quite the mic drop you think it is
