Another club another probably realistic valuation which will be rejected whilst they once again price the player out of a move with a laughable transfer demand

I think that is a question for football to answer as people in general society have made that leap yet it remains a barrier in our game, why is that? What is it within football clubs, grounds and that environment that makes it seemingly impossible for someone to share that part of their makeup...

I think football needs to address this and break down this barrier for the players. It is being built into such a huge thing I would not blame any individual player for avoiding the ridiculous amount of attention any announcement would get. Nobody should be forced to hide away part of who they...

I expect it will take until Xmas for the players to have a consistent understanding of exactly how Potter wants us to play. Expecting a bumpy ride in the early stages with maybe a few Duffy-esque misplaced backpasses as we try and play the ball around deep. However in and amongst that I think...

Makes you wonder why don’t arsenal just use the wonder kid they have rather than signing an expensive stroppy and hugely overpriced winger from Palace

Not criticising the academy investment that was always going to be a long term ambition and will take time to see the results and Ashworth is a great appointment. But that is long term it’s about how we survive in the PL in the shorter term. And if you read my post again I am not saying we...

Don’t disagree with that but there is a half way house between existing strategy and Neymar and Bale. We had a similar issue in the Gus era where he called out the clubs structure and policy as it was restricting. That model had a salary ceiling whereas he wanted to operate under a model where...

I think the issue is it’s an inflated market and the club are making noises about that already and do not seem keen on what they would deem to be overpaying in that market. So we are hunting for the diamond in the rough again which is high risk and could leave us short. The club still have...

The 3 who came up look the most likely to be the ones going back down with maybe Southampton being the other most likely to replace one of them. Burnley and Palace just have a habit of doing just about enough and Newcastle despite the current situation will end up attracting a decent manager

What have I just seen!! https://twitter.com/labakasura/status/1147953801351114752?s=21

Agree with this March looked like a player who took a noticeable step backwards last season he was almost a full back at times. To his credit he performed very well defensively but someone I fully expect to kick on and thrive under a more attacking philosophy. What was very noticeable last...

That is correct the inconsistency is when it is put to the attention of the referee or not. This is what we saw with England at the last World Cup with shirt pulling on corners. Some were referred other identical cases were not. Your last sentence is the reason I do not think it works as...

If you feel you have made your decision (which I am guessing Bloom had before the city game) then what does waiting achieve? Surely that just heightens the surprise. With players and managers on holiday you need every day you can get if you are taking a change in direction

I think you are going to be disappointed as you will still be saying - why did VAR only choose to review decision a and not b - that amazing goal was ruled out because someone’s nose was offside - handball for that what a joke The worst thing to be introduced in football for years and will...

Confidence too early to say Optimism much higher than if we had carried on with same setup we finished last season with

Roberto Di Matteo 2.0

Agree with this and they have been drifting into decline for years with the lack of investment. Problem for the Zaha situation is currently they are the only deal in town and they know it so nothing forcing them to up the current offer. Difficult position for Palace as without a bidding war...

I don’t think there is anyone on this thread claiming that they would be happy if Murray was the number one choice who started every game just that you don’t just bin off your top scorer thinking he has nothing further to offer (been here before with Murray haven’t we) This is what SB is...
