  1. Genuinely England look like by far the best side that's played so far. Some big guns still to come
  2. Pretty sure it's his first world cup appearance not cap, since they didn't qualify in 2018
  3. Thought there was a strong implication of Infantino also seeming to be cut from the same cloth in the documentary, and a quick Google search showed he's been under criminal investigation also. Not sure what the solution is, whole thing seems rotten to the core and not sure how you'd change it
  4. It's a good point, you see the return on investment at those sorts of figures I guess. You buy us for x billion, were surely not going to gain x billion in value if our owners see this as the optimal time to sell. So how does an investment vehicle get their return? And if you're an oil country, why spend 5bn when you could buy someone for less than a tenth of that
  5. Not quite as bluntly as Ashley but it does have a bit of a feel of that. We need to spend lots of our own money? Ah we can't lads, clubs up for sale sorry
  6. I fear this may be a case of careful what you wish for...
  7. The prospect of Diaz Darwin Salah is very very tasty. Trent physically and mentally needs this break, the world cup is not for him
  8. The posts in here are disgraceful really. We all know our current faults, we still got the win, at a place that's not easy to go to and we didn't win at last year. Lots of positives especially in terms of first half performance, the centre halves, and Nunez and Salah. Happy days
  9. You'd have thought we lost judging by half these posts
  10. Fucking hell lads. Wish Nunez was still on he's a menace
  11. That's mental. Out of form this season yes but fuck me, you don't sell virg now surely
  12. Didier Drogba joined Chelsea at 26 I think. In the 2 years before that he'd been excellent for Marseille, theyd taken someone essentially pretty raw and transformed him, but prior to that he hadn't done anything of note. I'm not saying they're similar players, but I just think in Nunez you can see the potential, and you can see the development steps it will take to reach it. I'm sure he'll do it, and while I'm not remotely comparing he excites me in a way no player has since Suarez. Just think he's going to be a monster, with a little patience. Imagine if you'd judged him after a few friendlies or the first few games in a struggling team!
  13. Torn on this one. As we're painfully living the reality of, this team needs to be refreshed with younger, hungry, replacements. And we all thought Bobby was finished before this season's revival. Which would all point to go. But then he has been good this season, and he's never relied on pace. We've got so much squad rejuvenation needed in other areas as well. Bobby also gives you something almost no other player in world football does when he's on the pitch in terms of his position and how he plays the game. So I wouldn't be adverse to a 2 year deal if the terms weren't ridiculous. You'd think if that were the case though he'd go somewhere else for a final payday. And it will be a very say day indeed if and when that happens
  14. Thought he was excellent in his cameo last night. Was in another move where he drove through the middle and weighted a nice little through ball outside of the foot out to the right to Mo. You can see the improvement game by game
  15. Superb. Him and Elliott are looking like the ones who get us passing the ball progressively at the moment, in Thiagos absence
  16. Also people have very rose tinted glasses of sadio I think based on how absolutely world class he was for 6 months as a centre forward. He is Klopps best signing but he could go months stinking the place out but contributing with assist and goals here and there
  17. This is him at the very start in a struggling team. The ceiling for him is huge, and I like seeing his name on the teamsheet and watching him play.
  18. The system tonight definitely isn't perfect, but with no Diaz or Jota think it's the best one we have to get Nunez Salah and Bobby all on the pitch in the places we want them. All different sorts of problems for defences to deal with
