Analysing The Squad

He’s got another season or two for us yet. Has been absolutely vital since Kamara’s injury and he’s worth his weight in gold at the moment. 

With all the talks about player sales, and who some think weay need to sell etc. Have we discussed Tielemans? We did sign him on a free, and he is probably worth good money, also potentially someone we can replace cheaper? Not saying I want him sold by any stretch, but as we know, these things go in order of value/age Vs contribution and replaceability etc.

I think they could be on the pitch together and wreak havoc if I'm honest, they are slightly different. I also think some people have forgotten how good JJ is at his best, due to his prolonged absence and lack of being able to get there this season. Doesn't always have to be either/or. Worst case, we have two very good players who are strong, quick and athletic.

There’s a new god in town !!!

Unless I just have claret & blue specs welded to my face…he WAS alright when he was with us, wasn’t he? In terms of being a good character. I can’t recall anything where I’d think “Oh Terry, you prick…”.

You can only keep the conveyor belt running flawlessly for so long. It was bound to happen at some point. They had a good run though. Played against the likes of Ajax and Roma in Europe too, who'd have thought this when we were both slugging it out under Hughton and Bruce not so long ago?

Just watching the podcast now....I assume the player he's talking about from 8 minutes is Samatta as his performances massively declined as soon as football returned during lockdown. I was genuinely wondering what had happened as he'd looked o.k in the 4-5 games he first played. Edit: Might've been Trez given he did alright the next season according to Terry.

Certainly limping to the end of the season now. I thought they'd pick up again after exiting Europa but hasn't happened. Their transfer strategy is rightly lauded but I think last few months have shown the drawbacks of it. If I'm right they replaced Caciedo and Alexis Mac with Dahoud (clearly didn't settle and now back in Bundesliga), Baleba (promising but just a kid) and Lallana?!!!! Milner would probably be playing central midfield if he was fit currently. Gilmour was doing o.k but that's a real downgrade in a key part of the pitch and why De Zerbi is moaning so much so a little chink and we'll see what they do in the next window as the spark has gone from their play big time and this is how teams slowly fall back down the premier league.

You can't rule out Manure
