‘A lot’ weaker you are clearly exaggerating Zatman. If we actually managed to sign those players there is clearly an argument to be had if we’d be stronger or weaker, we’d miss Luiz’s class in midfield but the strength of the squad would be improved. We know he’s a really good young player but we didn’t even really have Ramsey all season and still finished 4th.

 

Geertruida > Cash

Baena = Ramsey

Fofana < Luiz

Gallagher > Iroegbunam (who is our only other central midfield squad player currently)

 

I don’t want Luiz or Ramsey sold but if we were able to bring the quality of those four players above in we’d quite possibly be better off IMO. Big if though because we’d have lots of competition for those players.

You're missing the fact that none of them players touted have played in the Prem before bar Gallagher. 

We've seen with Bailey, and this season Diaby, that you don't just waltz up and set it alight. 

For every 'foreign' player that settles 1st season, you can guarantee there are 5 or 6 who struggle. 

So yep, we'd be a lot weaker IMO.

I'm in a WhatsApp group with a load of noses for my mates 50th at Butlins 80s weekender. 

I posted a question of if we're hanging round Butlins in the day or going into the town to find a pub (I've identified a couple of decent ones I'll try to steer us towards).

A nose replied we'll drink in town. 

I was about to reply that I wasn't sure I was allowed to but realised they'd probably have no idea what I was talking about

If this is in Minehead, avoid having a steak at the Hairy Dog pub. 

We had one there a couple of years ago and if you walk through the town centre, you can still see it bouncing around. 

By all means I'd highly recommend it to your Bluenose mates, proper steaks, in a proper town pub, cooked by proper chefs. 

That N'Zola is possibly one of the worst players I've ever seen. 

This is absolute toss. 

Do these commentators wanna mention Villa a bit more? 

You'd have no idea who Fiorentina beat to get the to the final if you didn't already know. 

Watching this, if we had maybe 2/3 of our players injured available, we'd have walked this Cup. 

Just hoping Belotti bags the winner. 

Why are they having all that stuff - which I'd have thought most Conference sides already have - installed, when they are moving to a new 500,000 seater stadium that will host every major event ever known to mankind for the foreseeable future? 

And to call us a small club Yeah, I love being a small club, getting into the Champions League, having some of the best players in the League, a World Cup winning Goalkeeper, an elite manager and a fan base that ain't all knobbing off their own family members.

Buendia to Milan --> Loan with option to buy? Seems like a good fit. 

(I don't even care which Milan)

I do hope that you may be in attendance when he returns, he scores a hat-trick but then slices a last minute shot and it hits you on the swede. 

So he gets to manage the final? 

If I'm him, that's Mainoo in goal and Johnny Evans up front. 

I think he's class and I'd rather have him as an option than Chambers or The Wardrobe.

Based on what criteria? I had great hope for him but on the whole he’s not done it apart from a few matches.

I didn't realise the sole criteria of liking a player is based on performances alone. 

He's a fantastic bloke, I can imagine he's great to have around the dressing room and people seem to forget the extent of the injury he suffered when he first came here. 

We could do a hell of a lot worse than having Diego in the ranks. 

One of my fave players, I'd be gutted to see Diego leave

Hopefully he fell out of it before it crashed and the rotor landed on his head. 

League 1 player. See ya. 

Xavi's face when he reports back for Pre-Season training

Last time we ever have to suffer this donkey in our goal. 

Bye, thanks for nothing to be honest. 

Our season finished Tuesday night. 

Today was irrelevant. 

You could have 0.00000000001 xg and still bang at least 2 in with Olsen in goal. 

Some of you lot

Nice of the lads to sign Munroe's shirt. 

I'm just glad that after all that needless showboating from the fat idiot in the early rounds that he went on and lost the fight. 

It is totally classless, it would be like Villa playing a League 1 side and when the whistle goes, Dougie doing 30 keepy ups straight from the off. 

I think Usyk did lower his gloves in a later round when he had rattled Fury but on the whole, he remained totally professional and let his superior work do the talking. 

I don't think we see a rematch. Fury has spent his career dodging the big fights or has taken them when the other boxer is not at his peak. 

Hopefully the tool retires and we don't have to see him or his circus of a family anymore. 

Fury thought he should have won

No mention of the fact that he got battered round the ring in that one round and if it weren't for the bell, he'd have been KO'd. 

As for the war comment, pathetic, just like he is, the fat trollop.
