Any idea if Minteh’s reported yet for pre-season? Or is he another that’s injured like Wieffer?

I’m quite intrigued to see how he’s such an effective ball winner given the comparative lack of mobility compare to those bygone midfielders you mention. He must be incredible reader of the game. But it also seems like if he goes into any sort of duel, be it aerially or on the ground, he...

All about the lofted pass from Colunga..

Good move for him, from a continuity perspective, having finished the season strongly there. To get a full season of Championship football under his belt as a 19-year-old goalie will do his development no harm at all. To even have 50+ appearances in the lower leagues at his age is pretty...

I thought she’d be older than 31, in fairness. I remember when she first broke onto the scene with the national team - great dribbling ability. Does she still get in the England squads?

His attributes do on the face of it suggest he might well be *that guy* in Hürzeler’s system. Aerial prowess and physical stature of a CB but well accustomed to playing the DM role in possession.

Definitely the best tactical breakdown I’ve seen so far - feels like we’re in for some fun in terms of bamboozling opponents (initially at least). Love JLA’s stuff, FWIW.

Something would just feel very right/cosy about this signing. Seems a very reliably solid modern PL full back, with a load of experience, but still in his peak years. (Which is why I’m not gonna get my hopes up!)

Clear as mud, as per from Fab Romano.

A 19-year-old who doesn’t know how to use google? I’m out.

If there’s one player I’d rather not be subjected to a drawn out agent-fuelled Twitter titbit transfer saga to potentially taint his legacy even the tiniest bit, it’s Pascal.

Is it not more a case that goal/assist rates often don’t translate well to the PL? Our hit rate for defensive/midfield players from the Eredivisie is generally pretty decent, regardless of the size of fee. (I’m aware there’s an argument these same defensive players contribute towards the...

In fairness to Dwayne (can’t believe I’m saying that) I assume he means ability to get some of the more high profile signings over the line rather than the quality of the players we do sign. Proof will be in the pudding this summer, anyway - I expect we’ll see a couple in the £25-£30m bracket...

Can’t believe he already has 30 caps for Germany, he’s racked those up quick.

Definitely a curious shift. Every single podcast, video, article etc I consumed in the week after the squad was announced unanimously predicted it’d be Guehi nailed on to start alongside Stones, with Dunk barely even mentioned (possibly swayed by the generally negative public reaction to his...

Ronny Johnsen, too.

Both of these. I’d be mightily surprised if we see him in the PL next season.

When was the last time we had a home shirt that lasted more than a season? 04-06? EDIT: Ah, maybe 2011-13?

Would be the first Albion manager to be younger than me, by a few years too. Not sure how comfortable I am with that.

Flashscore have gone for a familiar looking sight for their headline photo for the Germany friendly.
