“He’s a very zoomy, very dribbly boy” sounds a bit more U9’s than PL.

Can just imagine Tuchel’s phone call to him. ”Alright Lewis mate, you were gonna make the squad, but then I noticed you didn’t get picked against Arsenal and Brighton, so decided, solely based on you not featuring in those two games, to completely change my mind and abandon months of planning. Soz”

Not sure we’re coughing up the £80m valuation they’ve put on him like.

Unless it’s a Hall-type loan but not really, I’d be very surprised to see us loan him. Buy outright however, has Howe elite young development project written all over it.

Hope he’s bang on the toot and about to get a four year ban.

If he’s prepared to take a £300k p/w pay cut, it might be an option.

An odd season in many ways. Can’t think of a goal that was definitively and obviously his fault. A couple (Spurs, mackems) that probably resulted from his indecisiveness in dealing with crosses. But then, the Man Utd game apart, I can barely remember him making a save of note. The exact opposite of Pope basically.

He’s reportedly on ~£180k

The overall point probably holds water, but you’re wrong about Bruno. Had 5 games on the bench to begin with then played virtually forever ever since.

Says a lot if he’s been willing to accept reduced terms. Really cementing his place at the club as a great of the modern era.

Surprised you didn’t go for Gordon’s pen against Man Utd to claim another Fernandes assist tbh.

All very well til said player starts acting like a massive dickhead and going on strike…

Someone was wearing a version (knock-off obv) of that in the away end at Fulham.
