To be fair that was in the Championship.
Does seem bizarre that Arsenal pay £50m for a player who played the whole season in a back 3 and then play him in the centre of a back 4!
Agreed - his attitude could not be faulted yesterday and he was feeding off scraps. With the right service and partner I think he could be a real asset this season.
For me he just needs a striking partner. Won possession lots by forcing errors from defence/keeper. On his own I agree he can be easy to defend against but with someone alongside offering a different threat I think he is more than capable.
Oh absolutely - not counting any chickens until he's holding the shirt and the contract is signed.
Great player though and I'd love it if we signed him.
I've followed him (for various reasons!!) for a couple of years. He is very attacking and more than capable of doing a good job at LWB as well as LB.
If we get it over the line it would be a great signing.
There is no way I could do public transport without having a major panic attack.
I drive down so that is ok.
Leicester is a problem as I cannot get parking but I'll sort something.
Am I the only one that thought Connolly was quite good yesterday? Hassled and harried and made a lot of good runs.
Was lacking service and desperately needed someone alongside him but I'm not sure he deserves all the stick he is getting.
Having had horrendous experiences with Covid I am VERY glad that the club are doing all they can to keep people safe.
I personally wouldn't be going if Covid passports/tests etc weren't in place and I know others that feel the same.
Yesterday was the first time in months that I have been within...
Suspect this is why we are after Cucarella. Will give the option of moving March to RWB to cover Lamptey while still injured.
In the meantime I'd personally play Ostigard at CB and Veltman RWB
On the ONS website they specifically report people who have died within 28 days of a positive Covid test AND deaths where Covid is on the death certificate as a CAUSE (therefore people hit by buses etc not included in the latter)

I went to see Barca Vs Getafe just before lockdown. My son watches a lot of Spanish football and told me to look out for Cucarella as he really rated him.
He wasn't wrong Cucarella was excellent. Absolute top signing if we can make it happen.
Ignoring issues that have already been raised (as others have stated it better than I could!) 2 other things sprung to mind:
1. With Delta variant increasing in young people we are doing everything in schools to try and reduce transmission. Choirs and musical theatres currently have strict...
