Kid Icarus

I know we're only a couple of days in but I expected loads more activity.

Have to admit that I miss the leaks that we got when Staveley and Ghodoussi were here. We knew for months that Botman and Gordon were probably coming.

I know it's not this simple and they've still had a terrible season, but Spurs sacking their manager after winning a trophy would be so funny. Proper "that's not what we do here"

Not sure if PSG deserve this win

Hate these ones where it's like "he might go club A, but club B is more likely. If one thing's for certain though, he's definitely not going to club C" Before inevitably going to club C.

Yorkie it's Friday son, howeh.

Ramsdale would be very specifically the one player that I'd put my trust for Howe aside for. I cannot emphasise enough how shit I think he is.

Best case scenario would be they sell Fernandes for that and their recent transfer success remains as is. It would take a hell of a coup or scouting insight to replace him like for like, so they might have to Moneyball it.

Boggsy Ponsaelius as my champion by proxy

Gonna make a conscious effort to just take all news I can and not bother worrying about whether 'they know nowt man' or not. Really find the whole 'give us some news ffs!....No not that! They're just guessing!' posting cycle on here canny miserable.

Hope saying sources have told him the budget is around £100m

FWIW the adidas long sleeve tops have been like that for a few years now. Not a deal breaker for me, but it not being the pro version is.

Generally agree. Joining a basketcase like Chelsea always comes with risk and is usually a stupid decision for a player like Delap to make, but I think in this case there's much more of a clear opening for him, at least at the moment than in any other position. He'll fancy himself over Jackson (and possibly Ekitike) more than say Dewsbury-Hall would have trying to get in that midfield.

It's hard to do average ratings over a full season because invariably we have a player who got high ratings but didn't play enough to justify being player of the season. This year without the appearance buff Hall would have won, last season Lascelles would have, and ASM would have won in 22/23, so it's tricky to get the balance. Ratings are quite often influenced by the result and we've had a strange season despite being successful. Everyone's been a bit up and down with only really Pope, Bruno, and Burn being anywhere near consistent throughout. And even then there are a few poor scores in the mix for all three as well. For Burn to still average just under 7 when we had a lot of poor all-round performances earlier in the season is pretty good. Last season Burn's score would have only got him 3rd place and in 22/23 it would have been 8th which is weird considering we achieved much more this season.
