We beat Germany, Denmark and smashed Ukraine in the knockouts of the Euros. Beat Croatia and a good Czech side in the group. Yeah, big brains.

Football fans are quick to forget

Sorry but

Haven’t watched any of these nations league games is Southgate tweaking things and starting different players?

Hes so slow that he makes his plane slow

Fair point about the Mackems but they are probably one of the few clubs actually disgusting enough to do that Cost their chief exec their job as well didnt it? All im saying is the risk/reward in signing someone under investigation does not add up whatsoever unless both clubs involved believe there is no real cause for concern, especially in the current climate when it comes to cases like these.

If Bissouma gets convicted he wont be playing though will he? Sigurdsson was under investigation and must have had decent evidence against him as he didnt play another game for Everton, it would be the same for Bissouma if it looked likely that he would be convicted. Brighton kept playing him and Spurs signed him, I'd say thats a pretty strong hint that he will be cleared.

Maybe we were? There may be nothing that suggests hes guilty of anything, if there were Spurs would be taking a massively needless risk in signing him.. the backlash they would get if he was convicted would be enough to put them off.

You might say the opposite for spurs though, they will have done their research on his case before committing to signing him

Targett sounds alot like Howe

To put it simply hes a good ball carrier but not a great progressive passer, if hes not driving forward after just winning or receiving the ball then hes making a simple pass backwards or sideways. Love him to death but I think he would be most effective coming on at 60/70 mins against tired legs.

Im sure we were linked to Hojbjerg a few weeks ago

Im only taking the piss like, Edwards clearly talks shite

That’s how it works though Positive news that most of us want to hear will be true, anything we don’t like is false.

Shearer and Beckham then Ronaldo and Ronaldinho after the 2002 World Cup

Nah, it’s a natural human reaction for a lot of people to get emotional and ahead of ourselves and expect more than is probably realistic. I’ve seen enough of our fans calling for 4th or 6th now mostly down to the exceptional run we went on since late Jan.. it’s going to happen but it’s okay because at any other club it would be the same.

I think in terms of signing out and out starters we are probably looking at 3 more max now (after Targett). CB, RW and CM most likely.

I get the feeling with Paqueta that if Howe really wanted him and saw him fitting into our side the deal would be pretty straightforward to do.. just not sure the interest is there from us.

Thats this thread crashed for tonight

Theres also a middle ground here, it doesnt mean that hes not keen on coming here just because his favoured move is Milan.

Hes not that slow after all

Murphy is a direct post threat

I think I mentioned this the other day, Maldini will have a decent amount of pull for a young CB like Botman. If both us and Milan really do have offers accepted I think that alone might swing it for them, still thinking that they won’t match our offer though.

This injury could make him as slow as Botman
