Not sure he’d have any ankles left with Isak running at him in training every day.

I’d say 8.5 times out of 10 if the player really wants it, and both teams are open to it happening, it happens.

Does this mean Eddie will finally be able to move Schar into midfield?

Quite a lot of ‘management speak’ there. Probably to be expected in front of the camera. No question he comes across as extremely professional and detailed though.

Enjoyed obviously, but you can’t be counting them.

Apart from a domestic trophy.

Love Guehi me. Think I first really noticed him in 1-0 home where Miggy stuck that one in top corner. Was probably his composure on the ball that stood out. Reckon he’s the kind of player that Eddie just improves and improves. So no qualms from me about paying top dollar for him.

No chance he’s going on loan like.

His youth goalscoring record is obscenely good mind.

19 goals in 9 U21 games!? 😂

Why would you be resigned to that, other than for emotional self-preservation?

Already regretting not keeping Martial, especially given his G/A record in 22/23.

Mate those stats are bizarrely wrong, especially for Ba. Also, Targett had 1 start and 2 sub appearances (78 mins total). Dummett 0 starts and 5 sub appearances (18 mins total), so not really comparable at all (will give you Kraft like).

I think most people are just making that assumption based on the penalty fiasco last season. Doesn’t mean it’s not true like.

Capology and Spotrac both saying £150k p/w

Which is fair enough, but the majority of people on here, and wider, didn’t see that with Gordon (even for a few months after he signed tbh).

Madueke PL stats - 20 starts, 6 goals Gordon (pre-NUFC) PL stats - 42 starts, 7 goals Now they’re very high level stats, that nowhere near prove anything either way, but you can see why he might be considered the kind of profile we consider.

I’d imagine the justification would be the feedback they got in the ticket workshops and surveys.

Plus you still have the (admittedly painful) option of persistent F5ing in the run up to the game.

What are people’s thoughts on that? I’d imagine for the majority (obv not all) on here, that’s seen as a good thing?

Correct
