Sunderland's GK was definitely MOTM. Their strikers ultimately cost them at both ends of the field.

Exactly, afterwards. They initially had the money for him when rumours started to float around. Our board is the reason any deal was unlikely to happen. As the post you quoted mentioned, Samu was effectively a Chelsea player until they decided to intervene.

Erm, how did they afford Onana & Maatsen then?

Amorim appointment is looking worse and worse. The real winners will probably be Villa on the weekend. Super Cup place secured as well. They'll be steamrolled if PSG win on the 31st (personally hope Inter defy the odds again).

At more than double the price. Anyone who watch the previous AFCON's would have seen everything they needed to know about him. They meant new challenges for their accountants.

Haller #2 written all over it. If we really wanted an attacker from them, Marmoush was there for the taking in Jan.

Fair enough. I'm a similar age and have been around more Tottenham fans than I can remember for most of it. However, I just feel the small amount of joy it will bring to that lot will count for almost nothing when the season rolls around.

Aside from Tottenham being a London team, why exactly do you want United to win? I'm personally the opposite, as a win for Tottenham does nothing with Levy on board. A United triumph will open doors in the summer that Tottenham can only dream of.

I just feel like he's the type of player to push for a move if RM go all in (he has previous). I'm probably in the minority here, but selling Enzo for profit and bringing De Bruyne in on free (notably reduced wages, of course) while we assess our current midfield options could be a smart bit of business.

Chelsea and GK signings under current ownership. The list could probably go on. 😄

Kepa getting beaten from distance (arguably goal of the season but still). Name a more iconic duo.

I think he's bound to join an EPL club. Probably wants to prove a point after what happened at Brighton.

Despite being a major admirer of Osimhen, I don't think any of them are WC. I'm not at all excited about Gyokeres and Sesko, and I don't think they'll achieve the kind of success that would be expected of them.

They will still qualify for the Conference league if PSG win the cup. A dire performance tonight (could have easily lost been 5 goals). Petrovic didn't cover himself in glory either.

Unfortunately, he was performing at a level that was far higher than anybody else in our team, which meant that others were under less pressure—or, maybe more accurately, that they weren't in the limelight. His and the team's decline just highlighted all of the problems we were previously aware of. Since it has been demonstrated that the unavoidable hot streak would eventually cool off and no one would be able to pick up the slack, reinforcements of a comparable calibre should have been signed throughout the summer to assist him. What may have happened this season if Osimhen and a good AM/WF had been signed instead of Felix, who was a pointless acquisition. I feel like I would be more disgruntled about James' current position had we had a physical presence to get on the end of his best attribute, crosses. Aside from the goal coming from one moment of magic, we were whipping in crosses whenever the chance arose to effectively no one. I'd like to think that this position will be permanently filled by someone else should Maresca remain with James possibly being pushed further afield, as no matter what people say, a fully fit James should have a starting berth without question.

I really thought he had found his mojo again after his MOTM performance against Liverpool. His last two performances suggest that clearly isn't the case. Need our big players in these kind of moments. James did that tonight with the assist.

Just look at what Maguire went for a number of season ago and the rumoured price for Guehi in recent windows. We could probably get even more thanks to the HG/English tax.

It would be nice to have players turn up when they are needed most. It will certainly be an eventful end to the season (disregarding CWC).

I feel there's no chance of any club spending £70m+ and agreeing to a big sell one. If Konate leaves Liverpool, they could seriously push for Colwill again.

Things are still in our own hands. A comfortable Arsenal win on Sunday would see us move up a space, but that's irrelevant in the grand scheme of things. We have two finals coming up. I hope we can deliver when it truly matters.

EPL officials are a joke. The shot is on target.

Someone has to be the scapegoat for last week. It seems like him and Lavia were the fall guys.

I thought Neto was meant to be more defensive minded. Dorgu has been free all match so far.

He's "PL proven" and experienced.

Possibly saved by VAR. Tosin all over the place with that frame is inexcusable, though.
