  1. “Ollie Watkins, it won’t be too long until a big team looks at him. Villa would do very well to keep hold of him.” Prick.
  2. Buendia is playing as well as the Cleveland Clinic.
  3. The sort of defending I’m used to seeing with jumpers for goalposts.
  4. Konsa playing like a man who knows his place isn’t guaranteed.
  5. He’s firmly on the right wing here. Has had a couple of nice runs, including two where he showed initiative to get it more centrally and get shots off. One was deflected wide for a corner, one reasonably easy for the keeper, but both struck well. He looks a teeeeeny bit lost at sea but that’s expected, and maybe I’m over-reading it. Overall doing well after 35 mins. Good enough for the League Cup and Europa Vauxhall Conference League, you’d imagine.
  6. There’s thousands of posters on this site, so apologies here, but what do you think our transfer budget it? What else are the agents telling you?
  7. I heard Lucas Digne was on 160,000 links a week.
  8. Alan Thompson also had a few hammers in him I seem to recall?
  9. And every single one of them hammered in from at least 60 yards out. What a player Hitz was.
  10. One argument for Brexit was the Global Britain brand, in all its rocket polisher glory focusing on the whole world rather than Europe. Beat ‘em at their own game they said. Get the best of the best they said. Meanwhile, in the real world… My American Green Card cost about $7k all in. I think the equivalent cost for Irish visas is about €800. Now the UK are making it £20,000. The Tories are intentionally making it very, very difficult for normal high-skilled people to move to the UK. Let’s call a spade a spade. Brexit has always been about making Britain white again.
  11. Born the same week as Jhon Duran. Needs to be performing at Championship-level very soon.
  12. Cian is as embarrassing as Conor McGregor. Thank God they’re both from the UK.
  13. I think that’s a beauty and perfect for going for a run. Will buy when it’s put on the site.
  14. PSG interested. He’ll be gone, in a day.
  15. One undertone in this discussion is that it’s an active decision on the part of the likes of the US and the UK to draw this conflict out. That might be true, but I think the simpler explanation is that they just don’t want to commit that much kit. Biden for example is under pressure from Republicans for spending so much on Ukraine in the first place.
  16. As the selling club, Forest get to name their price. I don’t like this approach of us thinking we are entitled other teams’ stars. Reminds me of Man Utd fans thinking they could demand Grealish for £50m plus one of their subs.
  17. In Gaelic Football, if you’re late back out at half-time the referee may start without you.
  18. Yep. He outperformed his xA by about 20% because he had Haaland in front of him The year before, he *underperformed* by about 20%. xA isn’t perfect by any means but it makes a lot of sense.
  19. Link? Or what’s the basis for this? We have wealthy owners, clear new revenue streams, and a proven manager. There were several suggestions around January that Emery had money but chose to save the kitty for this summer. I don’t know how much money we have but I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s a big number.
  20. Yes but only a small bit. That’s why we have xA of eg 0.5?
  21. You’ve also said Coutinho would struggle in a 5-a-side though Emery has played with 3 CBs before, eg here, so it’d be nothing unusual.
  22. They can get the money now. For a one month loan with no risk (eg PL revenue in escrow), a bank will lend companies millions of pounds at very low rates.
