SteV

Just looking at the shot stats, and he had 56(!) last season, which puts him in the top 40 in the PL ?

Given Mount’s got one year left, that’s also a fairly ridiculous overpayment (if it ends up being in the region of £60m). He’s a very, very good player mind, and he should improve them, so paying over the odds probably doesn’t matter if money is practically no object to you.

If he’s in the last year then it’s £20m too much

He really does seem perfectly suited to our style of play like

WE’VE GOT SANDRO IN THE MIDDDDDDLE

I was kinda half with him (or at least understanding him) until he demonstrated he didn’t have the first clue about us.

Absolutely mental really. Was Isak the most expensive Swedish player ever or has Zlatan gone for more?

Thought to be Trippier, Isak and Bruno at £120kish

Substantially less than half what Man Utd are paying Casemiro.

True. Targett seemed to take his share when he was in the team (probably largely coincided with Trippier being injured mind).

Adam P

Yeah, tbf we already have a superb set piece taker in Trippier. Alright he might have tailed off in that regard at certain points, but the major issue was definitely those on the end rather than those taking. That much was evident the few times Lascelles played, and we suddenly looked much more potent. That said, it never hurts to have multiple players who can deliver with quality.

That’s Romanian time isn’t it? They’re two hours ahead.

The only concern would be if he’s sufficiently recovered from that ACL, not just in simple fitness, but has it diminished any of his attributes? All the other ‘injuries’ listed are nothing to worry about IMO. The gamble comes with answering that first question.

So he’s basically only had one notable injury?

This one comes through as well and he automatically goes to top tier, irrespective of how much other random shite he posts.

If some of our Milanese friends could guarantee there is no chance of us getting Theo Hernandez that would be marvellous…

Chelsea having hundreds of millions more income than us was probably a bigger factor in allowing them to do what they’ve done.

We didn’t start this. We’ve just brought a bigger gun to the fight.

Dribbling this across the six yard box before he taps it in…

Plane nonces assemble…

Transferring the 15% direct in readies?

Not until the latter stages of next season, possibly even not until right up until the CL final is played. Could get a situation where the fifth place team is relying on whichever English team is in a European final, to win. Or something along those lines.

Yep, so we’ll probably have to start wanting the other English teams to perform well in Europe from now on. *Unless of course we’re miles clear of fifth place, then we can mock them from a great height.
