How the **** did we pull that signing off!
Would be happy to have Messi here in his final season (24/25?) to play in Lallana’s role if Mac and Goodnight are still around.

We have a long history of signing elite level Argentinian talent, such as Cristian Baz & Augustin Battipiedi.

For me the emergence of Ferguson is a game-changer. With Welbeck now fit those two should lock down the 'target man' central striker position, Mitoma is a shoe-in on the LW and Gross / March are undroppable, so where does Trossard or his replacement fit in?
Indeed, with Sarmiento getting game time and Enciso being a decent bench option, Lallana fit and playing well I wouldn't be fussed if we sold Trossard now without making another forward signing. Buonanotte and Moran are also waiting in the wings too.
I'm more concerned about DCM cover, particularly as RDZ doesn't appear to fancy Gilmour. This bloke Ilic seems to fit the bill, and is over 6 foot tall so will be useful at defending corners. Ilic reminds me a bit of Nemanja Matic.

On the bench for the first game. I imagine the flying back and forth just before the tournament was a factor...
We let everyone else represent their country, even to our own detriment, so it rather begs the question why wouldn't we let him play?

Because it's an U20 competition. If he's as good as people think it's hardly important in the grand scale of things.
Landed on his back. Stretchered off but he could possibly just be badly winded (fingers crossed).

Not entirely sure you can refuse
So was the Olympics for Jocko, but the club allowed him to play.
3 years later he's winning the world cup and still committed to t'Albion.
It's the little things.

Fingers crossed he hasn't broken a bone in his back then.
I think that kind of goes without saying.
