I agree with you - but I could never have phrased that so beautifully!

He's proven that he's not time and again - usually on this type of subject. This is a hateful thread, posted to be hateful and knowing what would follow.

Algorithm was 100% right about Joao, and to get him by paying a release clause meant we probably got him under his true value. He will be our record sale next summer for sure, assuming there's nothing in his contract to preclude holding out for a massive fee.

Completely agree. I hope you are completely wrong and that Potter is the new Alan Curbishley, never to be heard from again.

Only when done correctly. Not all that long left for all this to rattle on now. The election will be called by end of day on the Wednesday - it's going to be a big Harris win and a huge victory for global Democracy.

Let's see if my prediction proves to be as unbelievably wrong and misguided as yours have been.

Hopefully Beadle will get the shirt, Trafford has stagnated and may not even be first choice for Burnley this season. Hinshelwood is an incredible talent, he'll pick up a few appearances for the under-21s but he'll be in the full squad by the end of the season.

I sincerely believe he will have a Senior Cap by the end of the season.

No. We wanted to take advantage of the 5 subs rule by having loads of attacking players so we can utilise all of them, every game. It reduces the load on individuals, allows great flexibility in the selection and potentially gives us an edge in matches. It makes a lot of sense to try and exploit...

I knew of both and had immediately forgotten them - I think this is probably part of the problem, and a little bit why I'm keen for AZ to weigh in. We used to produce players almost exclusively for our first team, now we're producing players but they're having careers away from us so it's a...

It is a good point. Until that post in the other thread about centre backs, I hadn't really thought about it but it's a fair cop. Unfortunately, @AZ Gull will be taking some well earned rest right now so maybe he will have some insights into our future centre backs coming through. I don't...

We have a couple of very good young centre backs to look forward to in the coming years of our own - but we do seem a touch light on experience and quality there at the moment.

He is a good player, he just needs a run of games somewhere he's wanted. Which isn't here. I was very excited about his signing, he's a player with a real pedigree and proven talent but the move didn't work out for him or us. All the best to him, but he'll very quickly be forgotten.

Doesn't begin and end with the same letter. :(

Blob.

Nonsense, it was a crazy deal from the start. Loaning him put all the cards in Chelsea's hand which is not the sort of thing we've done before or since. He was always going to go back to Chelsea after a season with us and be a starter. That was never going to end a different way unless we'd...

Chilwell and Reguilon are both available - both quality left backs who would add great depth to our squad. Not really sure if we need one, with Pervis to return and hopefully be first season Pervis and not Disaster-artist Pervis from last season. Maybe take no risks and get a specialist left...

I am so sick of reading Colwill's name on this forum that I didn't even see him in the squad! I think he should be starting at CB though - him and Branthwaite should be the left sided centre back for the next decade. Stop wasting time with Maguire and start blooding the youngsters who also...

It's remarkable isn't it? How we've only got Luke Shaw who is permanently injured and Ben Chilwell who isn't wanted at Chelsea (Despite being Captain for games last season). Livramento is probably guaranteed to start at left back with Trent Alexander-Arnold at right back. It's not an amazing...

His performance on Saturday was the best I've seen from him - he had some storming games last season but nothing quite like Saturday. I think he is a large part of the soft-belly the team had last season and I think I would always want to see him have a Baleba or Wieffer alongside him (Milner in...
