So… do we think that’s it for incoming talent?? From the Argus, RDZ wanted Moises replacement, (Baleba) a number 10 and one other. Looks unlikely no?

It would likely be a great reflection on what he (hypothetically) has done here if he did get picked though, wouldn’t it?

Would likely mean he’s hit the ground running and shown can hold himself in the PL, which was my original point.
He seems likely to get picked regardless of how he’s doing for us. I really hope he isn’t picked for that critical period but I bet he will be, based on his profile alone.

So by the time Baleba born, James Milner had already played 29 Premier League games, scoring 3 goals. Plus 6 Second Division games (including one against Brighton) scoring 2 goals, 4 FA Cup and 1 League Cup appearances.

In fact on the day Carlos Baleba was born James Milner was playing for Leeds in a 4-1 FA Cup loss to Arsenal (not a happy 18th birthday).

No chance of that happening - not with the way they've culled staff in recent years...

He gets most things right. I ignore the shit written on here about him. I like him.
What do you actually like about him? What benefit do you get from him announcing something minutes before the club does officially?

I'm genuinely interested because I just don't get it...

"Roberto De Zerbi said, “Carlos is a very good player. He’s very young but a specific player for our style. He will be the future of the club.” ..... he forgot to add provided we can keep him more than a couple of seasons.

The club seems to have a lot of faith in Baleba given how inexperienced he is. I'm not gonna doubt their judgement, but I'd be fascinated to see the Starlizard data that (presumably) has made Bloom et. al. so confident that he's gonna be immense.

He's the most expensive outfield Cameroon player ever. If he's not in the next squad, I'll eat @Kosh's Richie Blackmore hat.
I’d chuck in Roger’s too!
