We are better in terms of quantity. But overall no one from our academy is nowhere near quality of Greenwood, Rashford or Foden at the moment.

Son always looks naive and cute but what a cunt.

And yet they still conceded 4 goals less than us this season. 14th place on table!

Obviously Giggs was at his top level for decade(s) but best Mane or Bale are still better than his best game.

Also i said a couple of months ago that most realistic scenario is we just loan Fik again instead of selling any other CB.

He is probably just a backup option in case something goes wrong with Kai.

He should be with us at least for pre season.

Leon Bailey may be available for just 30m. Would be great buy for someone like Newcastle or Everton.

Low level hillbilly.

I think we decided after sacking Conte to take different approach first with Sarri and now Frank continues... Emenalo left and transfer ban had part in it. With integration of academy we do not need anymore to buy squad players outside just top players... Kepa (we tried for Oblak), Kovacic, Jorginho, Pulisic, Werner, Ziyech... And now we just keep going... Havertz? Rice? Alaba?

He started well and actually his 7 goals came from just three games (Norwich, Sheffield, Wolves). Apart from that just 8 goals in other 36 games he participated this season. He had 10 goals after 12 PL games, was for a long period of time top scorer in the league, or top3, top5... Now he lost top10 spot, and probably will lose top15 in the next 5 games. In the last 6 PL starts Giroud scored 4 goals. Tammy has just 2 goals in the last 15 PL games he played. And when he does not score he offers nothing unlike Giroud. I dont think he fights anymore for starting spot because with Timo he dont have a chance, he could maybe fight to be a backup option but he is not better than Olie. Since he would not be happy to be just that I think selling him this or next summer is very possible option. We can probably get 40-50m for him... Timo, Olie and Havertz if he comes could all play striker. And even Auba for just 25m would be a great buy.

Dont know if this is telling something about Frank but Derby is having a strong finish of the season now. 7th place now, 3 points away from 6th place and play off spot where they finished last season with Frank. Not to mention that this year squad is nowhere near in terms of quality from last season. They lost Mount, Tomori, Wilson and many others...

Of course... Question is who didnt?

Never saw someone putting tallest player on the goal line for corners before...

Yes, after Salah, KDB, Lukaku, Bertrand, Romeu, Lampard, Etto, Borini, Sturridge, SWP, Cole, Sinclair, Johnson, Parker, Gallas, Zenden, Forssell, JFH, David Luiz, Remy, Van Aanholt, Mata I think it is time for Cahill to score against us

We won lately against Spurs, Liverpool, City with Barkley starting.

Clown college?

Speaking of Serbian midfielders Danilo Pantic (still Chelsea player, where is his thread?) is by our media reports going to sign tomorrow for Cukaricki and it is not even a loan like previously reported, small fee and he will leave us permanently (finally).

I think Mount put some good performances lately. But I feel like he looks better deeper. In the final 3rd he is more dreadful than Willian. Take City game for example. Missed sitter and great counter attack he destroyed by misplaced pass to Pulisic. And it was easy position. I dont know how can anyone justify most attacking midfielder scoring just 2 goals in the last 35 games. Also just one assist from open play all season. This is acceptable for someone like Kovacic, Kante since they play much deeper. Lets see if he improves next season in this department.

Willian has a restaurant in London so he wont be even paying.

https://www.transfermarkt.com/spielbericht/index/spielbericht/3219407 Officially no. But here transfermarkt counted Mount penalty won against Brighton as assist. But not any for Pulisic

Lol Gary speaking... At the time of his sacking, Valencia were 14th in the league, only six points clear of the relegation zone, and had won only three of their 16 league games under Neville, also failing to keep a single clean sheet. while in 2016, Hernán Crespo was critical both of Neville's punditry and his tenure as Valencia's manager, stating, "To watch a game from the TV, it's very different than from the bench. I'm almost happy for Gary Neville's troubles at Valencia. I remember he was too harsh as a TV pundit."

Exactly. Even in Barca Busquets plays deeper and Arthur started many games with him... So by looking at Jorginho treatment I would not be surprised that something is going on. But Marina will ask for 60m plus for sure.

Cesc Fabregas made to wait on Monaco move as Chelsea try to secure replacement https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2019/01/08/cesc-fabregas-made-wait-monaco-move-chelsea-try-secure-replacement/ Sarri demands Jorginho back-up after Fabregas exit https://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/sarri-demands-jorginho-back-up-after-fabregas-exit/a7q1t9bsuj71ofnstcce4wm6 "Jorginho was in trouble and on the bench there wasn't a player for that position," said Sarri. "I need an option for Jorginho. "I have no idea [how soon a replacement will arrive].The club is worried, I don't know. The club knows very well my opinion. "I need the player there, it depends on the club's decision, I think. I cannot do anything more."

100%. I remember him saying this in press conference after selling Fabregas. In fact, board did not want to make his wish.
