Stop grouping them together. Nobody gives a fuck about Solanke. But I am pissed off about Clyne for a number of reasons.    We are depleted in defence already with Gomez and Matip out.

On that basis, sign Ed Gein.

I think 3 Stacks keeps in touch with how Trabzonspur get on, would be good to have his insight into the player.   Good to hear that we're going to replace Markovic with a quick-footed, fairl

If you don't YouTube scout how else will you fulfill your quota of dogshit dance music to a montage of some cunt you've never heard of point and run a bit?

Now that we don't have any major holes left in our first XI I think our fans are going to have to get used to the idea that not every purchase has to necessarily replace a first XI player like-for-like.

 

We talk about City having a deep squad because they already had the two Silvas and De Bruyne and they still went out and spent big money on Mahrez. We have Shaqiri, Keita, and Oxlade-Chamberlain, but that doesn't mean we can't use a Havertz or a Fernandes all the same. Little matter which of them is on the bench and which starts from game to game - we'll need them all by the end of the season.

 

We want the same kind of situation the oil clubs have where we can have an injury or two and instead of relying on a fringe or youth player we have someone else of similar quality to step in.

I think I'd rather we went to the Bayern or Real Madrid model of buying the best 17-18 year old's. What they're doing with Vinicius, Rodrygo, Davies, Hudson-Odoi, etc...

 

They have a solidified 11 and then buy the best teenagers for the future. With most of our 11 signing long term deals, we could do that too and plan for when they get older. 

 

I doubt it's economically viable for us to have quality 25 year old's as rotation options like City can with Mahrez. It's safer to invest in the best young players because there's also the big resell possibility as well. I have a feeling we may stop buying 25 year old's for big money soon enough unless we sell a few.

I think pornhub is more useful for fetishes. 

 

That and this thread.

I find it very easy to wank to this thread.

 

Lots of tits on here.

I’ll let others sort the montages out, view them,  then bitch like fuck about why we haven’t signed them.

Summer window is going to be busy. We may not need any first eleven players, but we will need an entirely new bench. 

 

Mignolet, Moreno, Sturridge, Lallana and Origi has pretty much been the backbone of the bench all season and none of them will be here next year.

I like that Ante Rebic at Eintracht Frankfurt. Brilliant for Croatia in the world-cup. 5 in 12 so far this season. Decent winger and can play second striker. 

Let's see if you still like him after the music in this video...

He is joint 3rd for being dispossessed the most this season in Europe.

 

Dispossessed the most times (per 90 mins)
Wilfred Zaha (Crystal Palace) – 4.5
Neymar (Barcelona) – 4.5
Ante Rebic (Eintracht Frankfurt) – 4.2
Bobby Wood (Hannover 96) – 4.2
Marcus Thuram (Guingamp) – 3.7

 

However my favourite stat was

 

Losing the ball through poor touch (per game)
Nimes – 18.6
Toulouse – 18.3
Rayo Vallecano – 18.2
Everton – 18.1
Torino – 17.6

Presuming nothing will be done this January, looking forward to the summer there really aren't any more huge holes to fill. Rumours we're looking for a big-money striker, and of course the "Fekir replacement" but other than that not much for the first XI.

 

I just wonder if we won't take another look at Bruno Fernandes at some point. Just went and looked it up after seeing him mentioned as a fanciful Everton target and he has 15 goals in all competitions so far this season! Quite a few in the cups against poor opposition but even so, that's some going for a midfielder. 9 assists as well. And the price seems to have come down some - when we were rumoured to be interested the price was 80m euro, now it's supposedly 40m.

 

Kai Havertz would still be my first choice at the 10 but failing that I'd not say no to Fernandes coming in alongside Timo Werner next summer.

Who do you think the number 10 is? It's not going to be Fekir and apparently we have no interest in bringing Coutinho back. The big money striker seems like it's Werner, although we've been linked - albeit tenuously - to Ciro Immobile.
