Kid Icarus

The asking price for Kepa had a decimal place that Chelsea just ignored, he's fucking useless

That's a pricey loan like

Kepa

Yeah Felix looks quality but you'd hope so for what's going to amount to like 500k per match at best.

Mad that Potter didn't foresee this imo.

Aye, it just seems outdated now I think, a bit OTT as well. Argh God aye, I don't want to be reminded of Duff, arguably worse for Newcastle when he played for Newcastle than when he played against Newcastle. Useless waste of space

Wish the no celebration against your old team thing would die like.

In all seriousness he's an idiot. Obviously never worth driving after even one

You'd never catch me, the perfect man, doing anything like this

Mad that they managed to mistake Willock and Bruno for Longstaff and Fred

Weirdly we were one of the few teams that got to play at the Millennium Stadium while Wembley was getting built as well.

Did James ever really stop having a mistake in him?

Watch the game and you'll miss Busquets. Watch Busquets and you'll game the miss

Sorry yeah, I just meant as a general turnaround. But tbh, I think that was more on people like me that thought he was going to be a one-season-wonder for getting it wrong really.

Maybe Kane as well? I think that's still partly because he looked every bit the donkey yet is somehow absolutely unreal.

Hard to look past Gareth Bale. He went from a meme at left back, synonymous with Spurs losing, to one of the best in the world as a wide forward and one of if not THE best British players of all time.

Yeah, Maguire is exactly who the team with one of the best defensive records in Europe should be looking at, Danny.

Definitely not in my life time. There have been players who've redeemed themselves after shaky starts (Darren Peacock, Warren Barton, Speed, Perch, Diame and others) but none where the dynamic from how bad they were to how good they are is as wide as with Joelinton. Literally zero to hero.

Personally I've gone from wondering how Maddison would fit in, to thinking he's exactly what we need. Bruno can do it, but an AM who can score and unlock against teams that sit back would be ideal.

Aye that's a good shout. I was ill during that match so hadn't considered it. Would be a dead cert if we'd managed to hold on and win as well.

Tifo's great and maybe I'm being a pedant, but they often get little things wrong with us. Willock and Longstaff the wrong way around, Shelvey being a back up 6 despite being injured, having Isak ahead of Wilson. Again maybe I'm being too picky, but I guess you notice this stuff when it's about the team you know inside out.

It's worth watching the others too. IIRC they recommended Bruno for Man United and Botman for Chelsea or someone else.

Just been thinking about this, what do you reckon has been our most enjoyable match this season? Not necessarily best (Arsenal was a great result, but not really enjoyable for example) First few contenders that come to mind for me are Villa at home, Southampton away, and Chelsea at home.

Their record is nearly good as ours. The 2nd leg is at Old Trafford and they're not allowed to play Henderson. It would take something seriously special like

Exactly. The 2nd leg at Old Trafford against the worst team, who's best player isn't allowed to play against you Couldn't have gone better for them
