I have an irrational dislike for Cantwell so this was an enormously pleasing moment. I think it's his wafty hair and propensity for diving that grinds my gears. He's like a poor man's Grealish. Was delighted to see him sat on the pitch for ten minutes at the end today, looking sad. Great man-management from Farke: letting three of his players sulk outside after a crushingly disappointing defeat, rather than getting them all together and trying to build some confidence.

Bobkin Jnr has exactly the same, I realised watching the game with him!

Why?

He chose the Albion.
The Albion have been true to their word and played him.
The club have stated ambitions of top 10.
He has no competition within the squad.
The club loves a contract extension.
Mr Bloom doesn't sell assets.

We do sell when the price is right... A certain Argentinian was lost to an offer that was just too good to refuse.

At the rate he is going I can see Tariq attracting interest (with an appropriate price tag) that we will let him go to bigger and better things (home or abroad).

3 games in and we’re already talking about selling Tariq. Good effort

Tony might want a top 10 club, but he's gonna have to take a lot of fourth division fans with him

It is a very different situation now. We had just missed out on promotion again and Ulloa deserved his Premier League chance.

We've not sold another player that we don't want to sell since that. Eventually we will inevitably get an offer we can't refuse or where a player really wants to leave (even Manchester United have that situation occasionally e.g. Cristiano Ronaldo) but you can guarantee it will take a massive offer to tempt us.

And he's being touted for England.

Let's rein in those expectations people for goodness sake, he's only played 3 games AND he's only 12 years old.

11 years and 9 months actually, believe it or not.

Yup. Truly bizarre right back situation. Southgate going to have to do a Potter and start with two of them.

As much as I love Lamptey, TAA is just a stunning player. Many have stated that he will be playing central midfield in due course, and that's not beyond the realm of possibility.

Hope so, as defensively he's not that great.

More importantly, have Leeds decided they're going to sign Lamptey yet?

The other thing that's different now is there's a £100m difference between staying up and going down. There's no motivation for lower mid table clubs to sell anyone. Why would they?

TAA’s crossing is stunning. Wan-Bissaka too, his game is built on wingers can’t beat him. Three different types of fullback.

1-3 - cue NSC hatred of Salah.
