Statue of Winston Churchill in his office too. Ties in.

Another example of G&A not being the be all and end all could be Ronaldo at Man Utd 2 seasons ago; 27 goals & assists in all competitions. Have they been a better side without him, even though they still need a striker? Absolutely.

Messaged one of my Leicester mates about him; "You not slightly disappointed? Thought you'd go for better. He's very good at 1-2’s, mainly creates opportunities in that way as he doesn't often take on his man. If Howe can improve on that aspect of his game I can see him being a beast for you. However if he’s competing with Saint Maximin and Gordon on the LW I’m not too sure why you're signing him, unless one of them is being sold/loaned out"

Downbeat about this, like. He's the kind of player that makes people fall in love with the game. For £30m as well? Fuck sake.

Wahey

Getting bossed around by a team founded in 2012. Howe out.

£30m. Would rather keep him.

Have more faith in Lewis Miley making it at the real top level than any of our academy lads in the last few years.

IK it's only a testimonial but how's that not a yellow

Boooo.

Seeing Isak in the colours again.

You reckon

The We Are United surfer there. Looks class. Would like to see some displays at away games, like. If it was practical.

Genuinely thought he only needed decent coaching from a competent manager and set of staff and he'd turn into a decent option. In Howe's first few games in charge he was actually decent and I thought he was coming into his own a bit, but got injured at Anfield and hasn't been seen since besides the odd friendly and cup appearance. He's been ridiculously poor in those appearances since and he'll turn 26 in January. Need to farm him out on loan if no one will take him on a permanent.

Lewis and Almiron on the wings. Loads of #fret. Good lord.

The keys outside the front door snap. Real estate magnate.

A tad underwhelming for me but ASM will be fast forgotten about if Barnes, son of Alan, bags double figures for G&A I guess. Still think we need a RW, though. Unless the plan is to move Gordon to RW. But even then Barnes and Gordon as the first choice wide men doesn’t exactly scream CL quality. We'll see. Hmph.

It's underwhelming for me but it's far from awful.

Ginola for us in his two seasons had 19 goals and assists in 5195 minutes. Works out at 1 goal involvement every 273 minutes. ASM has 30 goals and assists over 8067 minutes, works out 1 goal involvement per 268 minutes.

Yep. Should have far more assists last season than he does; Liverpool (H), Man Utd (H) and Chelsea (A) he created chances that should've been taken by the likes of Willock and Almirón.

Understand trusting the club and all that craic, but potentially selling ASM to have our first choice wide players be Barnes and Almirón is a bit underwhelming. They don't exactly scream CL quality options for the wings. Aware that Gordon is there who can potentially play on the right, but even still.

2015-16 too tbf. Aguero scoring after standing so far offside at SJP he may as well have been in the Strawberry, clear handball in the buildup to Norwich's winner against us, Mitrovic wrongly disallowed goal away at Man City which would've put us 0-2 up deservedly and Bobby Madley in the away derby are four that stick in mind. Probably a few more.

Gayle winner v Norwich (H) 2016 or winner v Forest (A) season just gone for me. The feeling both goals gave me, especially for the latter with being in the away end, is exactly what I imagine a shot of heroin is like.

It's basically a cringe facial expression where you raise your eyebrows, squint and bite your lip suggestively.

Him and Willock are close. And he said after the 1st leg of the semi final v Southampton that he's mates with Isak.
