Wouldn't affect their wealth - but it could affect their assembling a super team of all the stars. They could potentially sign Mbappe, but they can't sign him twice, once for Newcastle and once for Inter

That's because your username stands for Bed Wetter 2 :lol: We have one of the leading strikers in the division in Maupay. Trossard is a good second striker, Welbeck offers something very different and potentially high quality when fit, and we hope his operation is a game changer for him...

No, it's a horrendous decision. Diving should not be rewarded - if he had stayed on his feet there would not be any discussion at all. There will be contact like that between defenders and attackers on the box many times in every match

Hopefully. But we could have done with them being ready now.... But then again, there's nothing wrong with turning a minimal Ben White investment into £50 million, reinvesting that on another player who we then turn into a £100m player, and so on and so forth. Reinvesting the money made is a...

Well, I don't think we're through the crisis yet, with Dunk still out, but moreover, until we are the best team in the world there are always improvements to be made, and for me centre-back is the most obvious place to tackle next.

True, but I don't put that down to personnel (Sanchez aside) as much as subtle tactical changes.

Centre-back, either recalling a loan or buying someone in. We haven't replaced Ben White yet, for all Duffy's strengths he's not in the long-term plans, and Dunk and Webster's injuries have shown our weakness there. I probably don't expect it to happen until the summer, and if they are...

I don't really see where they'd fit in to the squad. Unless that amazing top-quality striker becomes available, which they hardly ever do in January, I don't see that's where we should strengthen. For me the strengthening should be in the central defence, we don't have the depth there that we...

Depends on how you frame 'makes an impression in the PL' - because really there have arguably been just 40 or so strikers that have made a major PL impression in the 30 years that it has been running. But I looked at the top 75 forwards, who have scored 56 goals or more. Several of these are...

Last night felt like we were playing a 3-at-the-back system, wing backs and all, but with just 2 centre backs thus allowing us to put an extra man in midfield. Very cunning by Potter!

The only one that really stands out to me is the 7-1 win at Chester City in February 2000. Living in Manchester at the time it was a local game, but as my previous three games had been Hull City away (2-0 defeat, Silky Dave Cameron subbed off after 19 minutes and branded useless); Mansfield away...

Possibly interesting little snippet... Looked at longest break between PL matches in December and the teams next result (with days break for their opponents in brackets). So much for a nice break to recharge the batteries - all the teams who had an extended break did pretty badly... only...

Lots of people leaving Trossard out. Have I missed something on an injury? Otherwise I assume his withdrawal at half time was 'resting' him so he'd be ready for Chelsea. Anyway, I'm more confident of getting points at Chelsea than at Everton, when do we ever do anything at Goodison? At least...

I think it's too early to be writing him off, but equally in Mwepu it looks like we have finally found a younger, quicker, more energetic replacement. Whilst Potter had been playing Gross quite wide, Hughton had him central, bursting into the box, taking shots and scoring the odd goal, and this...

I think part of what you're missing is that these players aren't absent because they're sick - in many cases they probably have no symptoms at all and don't realise they have it till they test positive. Despite this they're not allowed to play or train and clubs have a duty of care to stop it...

What is your point, dear Raccoon?

Agreed how he should be judged, perhaps, but the time scale over which he should be judged is much longer than you're allowing him

I try my best. Its quite frustrating to see how poorly us non-sth Members have been treated over the last couple of years, and then log on here to see the privileged lot complain that they aren't even more privileged. Didn't use to be this way of course. Season tickets used to be the preserve...

I haven't paid £20 to watch a Brighton game since Withdean in League 1, probably. Think that would be a rather good deal in the Premier league at the Amex!

They don't sound like casual fans, they sound like people who will only turn up if it's for free. I mean, whatever, give it away for free if that floats your boat, but why not being able to do so is worthy of a moan on here i do not know. As for the ground being less than full, I couldn't give...
