Bridcutt would be one I haven't seen mentioned yet. Arrived as a free agent having been let go by Chelsea following a few uninspiring loan spells in the lower leagues, ended up becoming a regular first teamer in the L1 title winning season (inc. couple of very memorable long-range goals) and...

10 goals from 7.1xG is some turnaround from the pre-RDZ era! As much as his finishing has improved, it's his movement that's got him a lot of those goals - spotting an opportunity and then busting a gut to arrive in the area at just the right time to get on the end of a slide-rule pass or...

Has there been any update on where Andy Moran might be headed this season? I saw he played for the u21s at the weekend, but it feels very much the time for him to go and play senior football somewhere now.

Biss also of course came from Lille, as a young African starting out his senior career in Ligue 1.

He really does just get it, doesn't he? You could tell from reading some of the quotes (translated from Italian) from his career prior to joining that he has a wonderful way with words. Now his English is getting better and better, I'll expect there'll be many more brilliant soundbites of this...

Chance to revive the "give us Colwill or no deal" automated voicemail!

Now wishing I'd finished making that Chris Hughton eating popcorn gif.

If you made a list of the pro's for each, the Liverpool one would be lot longer from a footballing perspective (in Europe, way more stability, Alexis is there etc etc), whilst I think we all know what one item would be bold and underlined in Chelsea's list.

Also enjoying how much he's starting to look like he was the frontman of a new wave band in the early 80s.

2nd academy graduate, too. Another feather in the cap on that front, despite all the surrounding circumstances.

20/21 they finished 6th.

Did they not finish 6th a couple of seasons back? Not that that discredits the rest of your post.

Think we're more likely to just about break even, if that. Don't imagine Reims often fork out fees that big for players who've only played as high as second tier in England.

Very different times for the Albion & NSC, they were - could you imagine anything like that happening these days? :lolol:

Anyone remember how much Mat Ryan cost, assuming he was comfortably our most expensive goalkeeper signing til today?

Definitely true! We hadn't had a televised league game in 2023 until the recent Forest game I believe.

And that's going to be a fully fired up and motivated Trossard having played second fiddle to those two (and an 18 year old up front) for however long? There are quite a lot of variables at play with managing ~25 football-hungry individuals, and the manner of his exit suggests he's towards the...

I thought the PFA award was the one everyone cared about? I wasn't even aware of the EA Sports-affiliated one until a few days ago.

How GREAT are these videos?! Absolute cinematic perfection (especially after a win). I've said it before but you really get a sense of just how quickly everything happens on the pitch at that level of the sport, it's insane.

"Wheeere's your captain gone?" on our way to a 2-1 win up at the County Ground first game of the title winning season. Lovely.
