I’m a big Zaniolo fan but to be fair I think the two differences are firstly we have already forked out tens of millions for Diaby but could choose not to for Zaniolo, and secondly Diaby has been poorer lately but has had some brilliant games for us earlier in the season, which NZ hasn’t really yet. I agree with your last point though!
-
I never mind the blue background because it sits on a claret shirt - those are our colours, and claret on claret never makes logical sense to me. But some of these with a claret background do look lovely.
-
I want us to sign Zaniolo but he won’t be the SAME player he was - if he was, he’d be nowhere near Villa. When he broke through people saw him at a Totti/Figo level. He can not reach close to that extreme and still be a fantastic PL player and Italy stalwart. This is me agreeing with your point that those in the know definitely think there’s a player there.

Not at our best but for a neutral perspective, here is how Andy Brassell at the Guardian (probably one of the more knowledgable journalists in the game) saw today: ”Middlesbrough never really looked quite like forcing a shock win over high-flying Aston Villa but the fact that squeezing out a draw would have felt like an achievement, when it would have been just a solid Premier League result in years gone by, says a lot for the Birmingham club’s current stature. Matty Cash’s late winner, a shot from range wickedly deflected home off the substitute Emmanuel Latte Lath, also spoke of Villa’s pomp. It had the scent of a big side finding a way to get it done, someway, somehow, when Unai Emery’s team selection had suggested a dilemma in how to approach a tricky tie and increasing demands from week to week.”

Not seeing this take personally… we aren’t on fire right now but I’d say we have more attacking options than I can remember at any time in 35 years watching. And the fact we have scored more goals than anyone in the league except Man City suggests it’s going ok over the course of the season so far…

Agreed with all this - except for all we know he ALSO believes he’s being used exactly right. Thought he was our best player tonight (low bar admittedly) and that’s all part of learning the game (away, cold night, Championship team, all your usual cliches for a young South American adapting to the UK etc).

Keep reading about Duran’s supposed immaturity while this lad gets booked for dissent twice in a week or two
-
Imagine he’ll start today tbf
-
His article is absolutely pathetic. ‘Duran MIGHT be loaned or sold in the summer’ - probably goes for 80% of players in world football.
-
I absolutely love that AC Milan and Inter are both trying to sign him but we think a loan to the Championship is how it might end up…! We will see I guess!
-
…there’s a graphic directly above this post with Everton, Newcastle, Spurs, Palace and Southampton all with names at the bottom of badges! I do agree with you though on where ours should be.
-
Interesting to me you have ours as 16 and Arsenal as 1 when basically they are the same key things (crest, big symbol, name). Guessing the differences are the colours, the quality of the lion, the positioning of the letters etc but funny how the main design is so similar but they are opposite ends of your scale. No judgment in this comment, we all like what we like!
-
I’d be all about the round badge but I can’t get over the lion facing the wrong way. So either shield for me, but also just do a proper round badge and I’d be happy.
-
Can you let the Spurs fans know?
-
Get him in vs Boro this weekend!
-
Fair play as well this is how I handle a deadline. Three years you say? Ok I’ll chill out until autumn 2023…
-
I’d sign him (FFP dependent). I’ve seen enough to think there is a real player there - I wouldn’t do it if it compromised upgrading to the best right back we can get, as we do have other options in that attacking role and we do have players like Buendia coming back. But if we can make it work, I think he’s a real asset.

Haha same and I have no idea how those numbers would add up - but wouldn’t that be fun….! (Not actual fun, more like torture. But you know what I mean)
-
Yeah agreed. Big gap to West Ham in 6th. We should get top 5 unless we fall apart from here*. Whether it’s in 1-4 or 5th, and what you get for 5th, all remains to be seen. *Don’t get me wrong we COULD fall apart - but that’s on us, it’s not what West Ham or Brighton or Man United do.
-
Or to pick a player I always like to think about when people are writing off 19 year olds - Didier Drogba was studying accountancy at university and maybe going that route full time because he couldn’t cope with the physical burden of training four times per week for the reserves of Ligue 2 Le Mans…
-
Went Pau because of his high level despite being new to the league but it could have been any of 6-7 of them. Amazing. Great question!
