  1. Watched PSV play Monaco in a Champions League qualifier today. PSV were the better team until Sangare was subbed off in the 78th minute. Two minutes later Monaco scored to tie it 1-1, and that's where it finished.
  2. Tell me this means Sangare will be announced soon.
  3. Not happy about it, but better to get something now than nothing later.
  4. Per 90 last season Watkins: 0.37 xG Ings: 0.35 xG
  5. You can't keep politics out of sports but can we at least keep it out of the transfer thread.
  6. I imagine he'll go back and forth from left to right. My prediction is Mings-Carlos is the pairing that we see the most often. The biggest difference to me is that while Carlos isn't the kind of CB you'd want on Man City as far as possession and carrying the ball forward, he's a much better passer than Konsa. So having him and Mings together will keep us from being too "left-footed" in build up, which I think was a serious problem last season. You're a lot easier to defend when opponents know they only have to cover half the pitch.
  7. Yeah, reading between the lines, I think SG wants Tyrone focused on defending and communicating at the back more than dealing with everything the captain has to deal with too. Also, maybe McGinn can make the ref laugh and that will lead to more favorable treatment?
  8. The price won't be the obstacle. If Leao leaves Milan, it won't be for a club that isn't already a perennial Champions League participant.
  9. I have friends who support Arsenal who believe half our team should be in prison for what we did to their darling Bukayo
  10. I agree, but I've had friends who support other Premier League teams here in the States telling me we're dirty since Gerrard took over.
  11. While I'd love to see us getting more penalties as well, it's not just a striker's job to draw them. It's the style of play. Teams that carry the ball into the box more often will draw more. A more dynamic midfield will do just as much to draw penalties.
  12. Should Ollie sell his child and buy a better one, or is there no clear child upgrade available?
  13. I think he could end up being an excellent player. I just don't think it should be us spending that kind of cash for somebody who might not be an upgrade on what we have. If we're going for a striker, I'm going for a clear upgrade.
  14. I don't think Villatalk is a good sample of the fan base at large because, well, look at us.
  15. Nothing against Scamacca personally, but I'm always leery of signing young players who only have one strong season and greatly exceeded their xG. He had 16 goals on 10.8 xG. I'd rather see him do it again before putting up that kind of money.
  16. It's far more likely than Forest beating us home and away, yes.
  17. He never said they'd happen this summer. Patience!
  18. Of course. My contention is more that Forest spending £100 million is the reason for it. Forest also lost the player that might have been more important than anybody else in the squad last season in Djed Spence.
  19. How much did we spend to finish 17th our first year back in the league?
