Schar looking like Magnum PI. Early version young people.

Not enjoying Bruno's treatment, I'd bring him off before one these clowns goes too far.

There's always a link to the friendlies on the official twitter page, but i think you need to have paid for the pre season games package to watch.

Could be his chance to wave goodbye to the fans, maybe ?

I think the wait is so they can secure his replacement first, nowt wrong with that. I'll hazard a guess it'll be green lit once they know their transfer is for definite.

Hope he's not fighting the geezer who duffed him a few years ago.

By the way there's no dislike of the lad, I cheer him as much as I would Bruno for instance, just with more moaning. However, alongside Miggy, Murphy and BDB to name a few, you can see they need to be upgraded. It's the unfortunate way of progression that some players will get squeezed out. As squad players they're fine, but that's rapidly coming to head as we do indeed upgrade.

Well I would point out, he's not making tackles, lacks pace, falls/dives over at the slightest touch, his passing is OK, his short passing is terrible. His finishing is OK. He's probably a standard midfielder as stated in the Premier League, however, and this will sound arrogant, but it's not meant to. He's nowhere near the standard required for us to kick on.

Get with the modern world grandads

It's my favourite 11 mate, not the best 11

I'll do it then, feck off

I'm hard

I don't even look at a young players past goal scoring record really. I guess that's insight but i always think when players are so young it's not really overly reliable. And as ever stats don't tell the whole story, such as the style of team he was playing for, were they attacking or defensibly minded. Were they struggling, who was the manager. I tend to go with how Eddie is, the way we play and what he expects, his training methods. The lad will certainly get chances, we'll soon see how he is then.

I suppose the way to look at it is, we're not just buying potential or to fill gaps anymore. We're buying proven players, it means we're no longer in upstarts but established as a force. Prices come in higher now for proven players. I'm not getting to hung up on the price for Guehi. Aged 24, English, proven in Premier League, an international. He was never going to be cheap.

I'd Rather we weren't associated in such a way as those other tossers. It's the scummy six and us and the rest of the league challenging their corrupt ways. Fuck being the 7th alongside those cunts. We're 1st in the non-cunts 14.

Andy Hunt, always liked him an all. Ended up running a diving business in Belize i think.

It's so galling having rules in place to protect 6 greedy cunts. All dressed up as bullshit to protect other clubs going out of business, it stinks so bad and they don't even hide it any more, arseholes.

We'll buy, anticipating selling in the next year to cover the next PSR deadline i would have thought.

That's the one, ta

IIRC he played in CM with Acuna, can't remember who against but it was a decent side, and got man of the match. And if i also IIRC, he said himself afterwards it should have been Acuna, which would have been quite right, they were both excellent but Acuna was brilliant in the game.

Boumsong, just an accident waiting to happen, so poor which was a shame as he seemed a good leader in the dressing room.

Darren Peacock was decent i thought, especially when he was probably the only proper defender in the team, always liked him.

If i may interject. We don't buy older players on long contracts anymore, and if we are to spend a lot on a player, it'll be the right fit. We will get the odd one wrong, but in the main we'll be very good. I say that with Tonali's gambling not found out about until too late, but with Mitchell in now as well, I think our buying will on the money, pun intended.
