SteV

I realise he’s very young, but what the hell was he doing in the Korean second division? Surely one of the bigger Korean teams should have been snapping him up from the youth ranks, unless he’s been a late developer?

One of the best introductory interviews I’ve seen. Came across fantastically.

According to that Sky report if Man Utd get him they’ll be putting themselves in a very weak position to sell the players they need to sell (assuming they haven’t already got deals agreed for them).

Odd choice to be leaking to if true like…

Or it’s because he bumped into an Aston Villa fan, an Arsenal fan and a Liverpool fan, and they all unanimously agreed that the Glazers were the worst owners in the history of football, and he should stay away.

Hope says he’s “alright”.

Reminiscent of the ‘Magna Carta’ lunatics during Covid.

Get back from Korea and then Eddie’s going to have to sit him down and tell him to get his head out of his arse. I’d try and get him on the field for one of the Sela games.

That cunt supposed to be a genuine journalist?

Did he actually join though? Cos I don’t think he was spotted and he definitely doesn’t seem to be in Korea.

Not sure about that like. Seems like they’ll have to sell to buy (substantially) and we know how much Monchi and Emery like to swap players in and out. I don’t us being a rival would stop them, but the price might be prohibitive regardless.

Yes, it’s difficult to disagree with that view. However, if I was playing devils advocate - Watkins and Wissa, plus some reasonable additions elsewhere, would give us a chance of a run in this years CL as well as the potential to qualify again next season. If we were able to pull that off and be in a strong financial position to go again next summer (hopefully with a proper compliment of backroom staff…), we’d have possibly made the best of a difficult situation.

Watkins would probably be the best ‘here and now’ replacement we could get. Whether that would be a sensible use of funds for the longer term is an entirely different matter.

Scored a pen at home to Man City I think

Probably be another presser tomorrow morning

He wasn’t in the video (unsurprisingly). Haven’t seen any update anywhere else?

Looks like he’s taking part in training going off Hope’s video this morning.

Standby Yoane son, standby.

Why are Bayern pieing him already?

Rivière looked like he was on strike the whole time he was here. Think there was something with Coloccini wanting to go back to Argentina?

Next CL payments taken tomorrow (Friday).

Do West Ham want another year, with only two years on his contract though? Don’t sell this summer and his value dips.

He doesn’t even take pens, which was Shola’s one superpower.

I remember the season Shola got 19 PL goals.
