triggs

I'm not sure. We only drew with Hull last season when we were in good form and they were in their worst form.

We fucking better

Watched an 8 minute long video of him for Boro last night. Unbelievable dribbler like, end product is shit at times but still created plenty of chances that weren't converted last season.

Really? Why? What does he actually do? He did fuck all other than run in a straight line every now and then for us, and seems to have done the exact same for Boro last year. He's big, stocky and quite fast, but he has zero football awareness. I remember Village Idiot on here telling me *exactly* the same thing when we signed him, and he was absolutely spot on. I find it utterly bewildering anyone would want him, let alone pay some of the figures mentioned for him. He's not a winger. He's not even a footballer. As I said I only saw him once or twice for Boro but I thought that he did well dribbling past players and then had no options. Having said that I assumed he was going to be a cheap backup option, not 15m

They and Atsu are all better on the same side

I only saw them play about twice but from the games I saw, they would give Traore the ball, he'd dribble past a few men and then have nobody options to give it to so he'd eventually lose it/cross it to nobody

I'd really like to see Traore here based on the little I've seen of him

Definitely not Krul. Elliot is steadier but not as good at saving shots

Yes please. Same. Doesn't have a favourable audience on here though. I think he's alright but then we'll have three decent right wingers and zero decent left wingers. I don't see the point

America is mental like Maybe, but not for that. The police were called five different times before charging him. And he was issued a citation on the spot, not formally arrested. Why is it going to court though?

America is mental like

As I've mentioned with Figures, I'm sure if the players they bought were our market then we'd have spent that too. I could imagine this place if we'd spent £40m on what they've paid for. I get that we're aiming for a higher level of players, I just don't buy that we needed this extra money in order to be able to buy players

Huddersfield earned even less than us I presume and it hasn't stopped them

Douglas and Ryder said we weren't interested for the fee Benfica want. Just caught up on this, cheers. It does seem to be persisting, mind. Just as a matter of interest how did you watch the games or the bits where he was involved in games? Presume you didn't watch full matches

One injury from The Colback Effect re-emerging. Loftus-Cheek is a huge talent. Worth testing Chelsea's resolve with a bid for a permanent transfer. don't know why they'd entertain what we'd offer at this point - ake has shown what they can get back for their youngsters if they want to move them on Ake has already proven himself at PL level. Loftus Cheek hasn't

Rooney

it's pathetic What is? Not like people are calling him a cunt or owt

Earned himself about £50m on the Pogba deal Still wears terrible clothes

Clearly the defender is more at fault but that's just so feeble from him. Should have ran back as well

It's easy to look neat and tidy when all you do is pass the ball 5 yards backwards or sideways tbf

Darlow was the best keeper in the championship last season Westwood was

Yup. It will be them. They will finish top 7 this season. Magnificent club, fantastic fans, superb stadium, scintillating football, and their handsome bastard of a manager knows Klopp. We are literally fucked. Rattled marra

That's absolute nonsense, like. And I don't just mean the typically strange way you've worded it - like very average at PL level and decent at PL level are hugely contrasting assessments. He was basically either good, or a blatant rick or two spoiled his performance. There was very little mediocrity to be found in an individual Bramble performance. Bobby was right to speculate and sign him because he had everything physically and technically, just not nearly enough between the ears nor the concentration span. A "typically" personal Ronaldo post, for no reason whatsoever. I've told you before, there's simply no need. Anyway, I won't be convinced Bramble was anything other than an average centre half, with a decent physique, who occasionally had good games and also occasionally had some awful games. I don't see that as a particularly controversial opinion. If only we had signed Southgate during that period. Decent and average are basically the same thing
