I like Iwobi. Think he’d be a cracking signing personally. Don’t think it’ll happen though.

Should he be moved back into the rumours thread? 

I guess some fans just need a whipping boy 🤷🏻‍♂️

We were back though. Mina didn't look good imo. 

Love this quote from Brands in the article “I always say I prefer to have the right player a day later than the wrong player a day earlier," 

I honestly don’t get this hate for Walcott, I really don’t.

He crosses the ball a hell of a lot better.

Whatever the fuck Smith said and did, still doesn't excuse Richarlison being so very very dumb. 

It would be nice if we could get someone in to take over for Coleman after a performance like today's one as well. January hopefully. 

Think I'd put DCL on for Tosun soon, has a bit more pace but can still hold it up a bit as well. Or maybe Bernard on for Tosun and Walcott up front?

A new holding midfielder for me. 

Happy DLC gets in over Niasse this time. 

He got his leg with full force. His studs facing forward. Its a red Mike

The 2007 U21 world cup winning Netherlands are a famous example of youth cups not being that indicative of future success as well. This was the starting eleven:
GK 1 Boy Waterman RB 2 Gianni Zuiverloon CB 4 Arnold Kruiswijk CB 18 Ryan Donk LB 5 Erik Pieters    89' DM 6 Hedwiges Maduro (c) CM 8 Royston Drenthe  9'  78' CM 11 Daniël de Ridder AM 10 Otman Bakkal CF 13 Maceo Rigters    69' CF 9 Ryan Babel

I have real issue with point number three. You keep quoting this about our players who were in that squad. It was an under 20’s World Cup. That’s not something they can quote as being a “World Cup winner” you can quote him as an “under 20’s World Cup winner”. To keep using it as a measure of talent in the senior game is a million miles away from accurate. Pogba is a World Cup winner, that’s the level of a World Cup winner. Not someone from the under 20’s. Yes, it’s a great achievement, but at that level, it’s no bearing on elite level football, it’s not even close. 

I find him very unconvincing. There, I said it.
I'm far from saying sell him but I don't feel as enthused as most about relying on him to score our goals.

I really don't think the problem was so many incomings, it was not having the right incomings. If we'd brought in the same amount of players last summer, but not stockpiled number 10s and actually brought players in in the right positions then I think things would have been a lot different.

I like it. Fee's crazy of course, but rather spend it on a 21-year-old than on Sigurdsson. Reckon he could play as the centre forward?

Also, may whatever team wins tonight (hopefully England) beat France badly in the final.
