Yes of course to a degree. He just seems the sort who would go any club that pays him the most without consideration of anything else (such as standard/competition/playing time/development/location etc). I don’t think there are that many complete mercenaries around.

He’ll go whenever the highest bidder is. If it was us it would be here. Very much a mercenary. Not that we’d be the highest bidder or want him back mind.

I expect not for much longer

Whichever it is it’s worked out pretty well so far

We’ll need a new one with Mac likely on his way too. Evan seems the obvious next man up

Hasn’t really kicked on as expected. A fair number of ‘concentration’ mistakes and his distribution isn’t good enough for the way we’re going to play going forward. A shame for him to go like this but didn’t really see he’d find a way back under RDZ anyway. Be interesting to see how much we get...

If I’ve paid for the seat then no. If I was just given it by random allocation I’d move as it’s the decent thing to do.

Depends. If we get into Europe we might be able to keep one. Otherwise no - definitely both gone.

His contract expires this season. They also aren’t home grown which is something we’re going to have to think about this summer. We’ve shown ourselves as a pretty progressive place for young talent so wouldn’t be at all surprised if he ended up here if we want him.

Very much this. Can’t believe it’s still up.

Quite rightly too. Some of their dives have been embarrassing recently

Guilty. Was even more concerned when Potter replaced him. Shows what I know!

Doubt she’ll have to worry about representing Labour at the next GE now

This. The only thing that edges it for Steele is that his distribution is an absolute mile better than Sanchez. That’s more important than the old world class save the way we play. If we weren’t so keen on drawing sides onto us and the keeper being an integral part to that Sanchez would be playing.

He throws his arms up and jumps at Maguire. Watch it again. I think you’re in a club of one who think that one is not a penalty.

The Maupay one was absolutely a stone wall penalty. There are plenty of arguable ones but the Maupay one really isn’t. Nothing natural about this

Quite how anyone can watch that and thinks it’s a deliberate handling of ball is beyond me :shrug: Can see the potential argument around it being an ‘unnatural’ position of the arm - not that I think it is - but deliberate it certainly is not

They are both going the same way. Pulisic is concentrating on trying to lean into Pervis. He doesn’t know the ball is anywhere near his hand until it pretty much arrives.

It really isn’t. Unless he has reflexes akin to a cat that’s just hit his arm as he’s running. It’s certainly not hand to ball

Looking in the wrong direction, running and an arm not in an unnatural position IMO. We would have been absolutely livid if that was against us. Not a penalty for me.
