Just seen Van De Ven recently got the record for fastest sprint ever recorded in the PL Completely pointless to think, but imagine him in our team playing the LB / third centre back like Dan Burn does, one could dream

Pretty sure Bruno shouts at him to move over to close down the spare player for one of the goals but he stands there trying to block a shot when Bruno was also there

Same here, thought we were gonna start picking up form and momentum, gutted tbh

Aye he's absolutely rapid Really hope our next central defender is quick, having someone with recovery pace in the middle would help loads. Right now we only have Livramento who can cover ground quickly

Think this is part of the upside of us signing Kuol and Minteh, and the investment to the academy etc

I mean yeah gibbs white and onana were just names I plucked out based on those 2 positions and the rumours we had in Jan But my point was mainly around IF, if we sold Bruno, could or would we consider getting a DM and AM and evolving our style a bit... Consider whatever names float your boat ?

I heard that yeah, but if it's true if he hits the 10 games then Fulham pay close to 0, surely we could afford that? Who knows, maybe we couldn't do a second loan from the same club etc

Just a thought but if we did sell Bruno, not that I want us to, but wonder if we would slightly change our approach as a result of the FPP boost we'd get We'd be able to sign both a DM and a AM (onana and gibbs white for example). So would both be able to improve our defensive ability and add more quality in the final third However we'd lose Bruno's amazing press resistance and ability to dictate play Wonder what we'd do ?

Yeah would have loved that for here, especially as Isak can play with a number 9, so having Isak fit / on the pitch wouldn't directly be a restriction on his minutes

I have thought, could a team sell someone at market value, then immediately buy him back at the same price, thus receiving the FPP boost of the full price but spreading the cost over the contract term Obviously you would need 2 teams in on this and it it would absolutely be dodgy as fuck ? But I guess what you said with villa is similar, albeit a much more ethical way

It's not as if Howe can be totally trusted either, didn't he point blank lie about Barnes in the summer while he was with his new team mates or something?

Put £5 on an acca... If West Ham win tonight I get £427 Or I can cash out now and get £122 What do yous think? Bournemouth are pretty decent these days, surely a draw is a likely result

Wonder if Howe is persisting with Burn over him, because Livramento can cover several positions as and when needed and seems to be our first sub. Whereas Burn has no substitute purpose unless an injury to CB or LB

He's an absolute killer against teams who don't sit back, no suprise his record is amazing against the best teams in the league this season as they rightfully try and press forward

Agree, something the top teams are good at Noticed it a lot when Liverpool and Man City have played each other over the years, no team is too far from getting it in equilibrium

Their fans have been shite all game, thought they'd be great considering their league position

Having Miggy back makes such a difference, it's painful not being able to make 1 decent sub. Shame the same can't be said about the midfield

Villa's midfield options are absolute quality, good mix of attributes between them and very well drilled. Think this is where the game will be won and they have the advantage Having said that, we have a good front 3 to try and exploit their high line... Deffo can see both teams scoring

Deffo done well lately. That save he done was great, though I think he could have shifted over towards the centre of the goal when the ball was played to whoever had the shot, the shot had a little power and was barely off centre... Made it look much harder than it was

Yeah think he'd have way better offers than us, plus he is LW which if we did get him would make the Barnes and Gordon deals a bit of a waste ?

How with a massive grin on his face when asked about Miggy

Philip Billing rumours on twitter, what do people think of him?? Can't say I have ever watched enough Bournemouth or paid attention to him in our games to have an opinion

I actually really rate Onana, but yeah £60m is crazy. You'd think better value abroad, just like how Everton got him for £20m or something Also, if were now looking for a 6 / DM, then why not buy one in the Summer just gone? Yeah I know we are now decimated with injuries and could do with another midfielder, but it would have made sense to buy a DM last summer and then buy a tonali / upgraded 8 in this Summer coming Having said that. I'm sure they know better than me ?

Doesn't he have a release clause in the summer? Would absolutely love him for RW, however wonder if any other big clubs would also be looking for a new RW and he has his pick

Would make sense if we went for Sesko while his numbers / stock is down, just like we did with Isak, if we're confident in his ability and means if fitting in our team
