I think White is a generational talent, and Arsenal probably do too judging by how much they are putting out there. I think another season could have pushed his price to the van Dijk range. We'll certainly miss him, his confidence on the ball and the way he would bring it out of defence was...

Rather sad really. Such an amazing player and we barely got to see him in the stripes. He's going to have an exceptional career at club and international level and his time with us will just be a footnote. His rise has been truly meteoric, from being a liability in defence in the first part of...

The first thing to note is that only posts made between 11.30pm and 11.30am. This may indeed be immediately after the match when passions were high, and after 11.30am the story had broken, so a 24 hour analysis wouldn't help, but it certainly makes a global interpretation of the results...

Sure, but its not the value of sales as it is the volume of sales raising our status, combined with benefits from other commercial opportunities of having high-profile players, be it in sponsorships, media rights, international opportunities and so on. This non-footballing income is ultimately...

Like it very much. Wonder which teams we can wear it against? Palace, Saints certainly, and Newcastle, Leeds and Spurs, imagine we'll wear it against the claret teams even though we shouldn't need to - Man City nope, will it work against Chelsea, Everton or Leicester?

Amidst all the guessing and conjecture, a post that stands out head and shoulders above the other. Yep, absolutely, White and Bissoumas's profiles are high now, its a marketing no-brainer. Of course this begs the supplementary question - if their profile is such that we are making substantial...

There are players for whom coming to the premier league is very attractive and outweighs other considerations. Although we'd all be very surprised if he bypassed the reigning Spanish league champions and Champions League contenders in our favour - but equally he would have to be a brilliant...

I did, by the time it came to him it was obvious he was going to do exactly what everyone else had done. Yes, they all decided to show they weren't satisfied to finish second - but to me it came over as petulant loser, at worst, or not understanding that we were proud of them, at best. We have...

We have to recognise that getting to the final was a fantastic achievement, first one for 55 years as we well know. I found it very sad that all the players instantly ripped their runners-up medals from the necks, yes they're hurting but it shouldn't be the case that winning is the only thing...

I thought it showed real football nous to bring on the excellent penalty takers to give ourselves an advantage in the shoot-out - it was going to be another Southgate masterstroke Problem was, it turned out they weren't excellent penalty-takers..... It was also weird to take Walker and...

Break the cycle? My entire life our 'cycle' has been to get over excited about a tournament and then fail gnominiously. But now we've had a semi final and final in back to back tournaments. I would call that breaking a cycle, the goal posts don't have to be shifted quite so soon do they?

We once loaned a player to a team called the San Diego Sockers? Well I never :)

David livermore, I am reliably informed :)

You are spot on, well done :thumbsup:

Yeah, spot on. In normal times we'd would have already brought Foden, Grealish and Henderson on, and that would have been our lot. But the extra subs mean you can make wholesale formation changes late in games, meaning that subs can be tactically subbed. Have to say I was certain it would be...
