He's back working out.not long from a return.Hamstrings aren't like ACL's can go through speĺls of having them but don't get permanently wrecked from them..Giggs had more hamstring issues than anyone i remember and played for about 20 seasons.

Think his link up play is alot better,didnt really see Noni play in Holland just going off what seen in England. Olise has a sweet left peg but has speed,kinda like having Ziyech/Kevin Sheedy on crack. Noni be good for rotation tho.

Petar Borota a Yugoslavian (would now play for Serbia) was the first non-british player i can remember in the late 70's -early 80's. I remember him as a decent keeper but older people may remember him differently,i heard he was abit eccentric,bit of a cult hero.

Yes please.very good player enough already to be a regular starter on the RW,potential to become world class. I like Kudus too and may not be a case of No Kudus if we get Olise.Kudus is a great option to cover many positions,4 or 5.Olise has more potential to be World class at one imo tho.

For a fee even a small one sell him to anyone that will take him.and Lukaku too. If a loan,then only with an obligation.they no good use to us,the risk of them becoming good somewhere else shouldnt be such a big factor.

Be a decent Ward-Prowse one year replacement.as it is he's be understudy to Winks or Dewsbury-Hall

Suicide watch with popcorn in hand and no inclination to prevent it..even though it will result in decades of law suits against us from family members claiming we caused their deaths and the date will have anniversaries every year forced on the rest of the english football community.

Player has to sign the contract too. If he's not gonna sign it's either accept the Chelsea offer or player stays. I would aslong as it doesnt get too high,match the fee,even throw in a youngster on loan for free. Southampton has a great history of developing young talent over the last 40 years and don't squeeze like brighton.it's worth it in the long run to maintain a good relationship with them.

The Belgian mafia will return too when we sign Lavia..

After this window i think we'll be looking at a steady 2 maybe 3 transfers each summer and less in winter windows. Whilst not all our youth buys will pan out i believe they are bought more to become players for us than just products to sell at a later date so big spending will ease off in the future. They are prepared to pay big when the need is great.but moving forward they know you can't have too many of them. Getting back to Lavia,is not like we didnt show an interest in him until they did..we bid for him in January. So they making us pay more.it will work out fine.

Match the bid and throw in a free loan or two of our youngsters. I heard Klopp has had some indication he may also prefer us.

Wouldnt rule out getting both,i certainly would love to have both but if it's one then depends if we looking for who can help us immediately,and be at worse a great sub or someone who is soon to return,has less positional flexibility but can become one of the best in the world at his position. Olise is PL proven too and got a previous connection to Chelsea, born in same place as me.etc..Also gonna regret for years if Man City get him instead,where as Kudus is quality his ceiling isn't so high.both should improve in time but both already have enough quality for us.

When we sell Caicedo it will be to our sister frog club when he's 34 for a pound,to become their player manager.

Wish Jim Bowen was still alive for the presentation with his infamous sadistic Bullseye line "come and have a look at what you could have won" towards the away end.

They got English clubs banned from Europe for 7 years and yet they want more. Maybe i was wrong about the city of liverpool being a slum of work shy scum.if they think putting a higher bid to Brighton is gonna change Moises mind about not wanting to join them they are infact just a bunch of unemployable window lickers.

Altho Poch played 4-2-3-1 in pre-season,looks like really we going for the slightly different 4-3-3 as we really not targetting a proper 10 and didnt really have one before the Nkunku injury.maybe was just using 4-2-3-1 to give certain players a look. But 4-3-3 (with it's variants) will be the primary formation.

People talk bout us needing a new kante but for me i'd settle for a prime Matic or Makalele type if we gonna persist with the double pivot.even Kante wasnt ideal for that role,don't really want someone chasing the ball like a spaniel,want someone to sit and guard,sniff out danger and snuff it out. Doesn't even need to be a tackle machine to be an effective DM. Blocking passing lanes is a skill that isnt shown on a stat sheet but important all the same.

10 year old Chelsea boys in '86 who grew up on John Bumstead didn't really look at such things so clinically..

Wait and see who we spend the money saved on..hopefully dive in and snatch Kudus,then Lavia or Zubimendi. And still have money left over.

We were linked with Platini in the papers around '86..that was my first broke my cherry burst my bubble..think he retired instead.ha

For what it's worth according to sussexworld.Brighton's deal for Kudus looks to be off as player and club haven"t agreed a deal.

Only really were 3 options (RJ,Silva,Chilly) but all 3 for various reasons unlikely to start every game. Did think for year 1 under Poch would be Silva.but either way all good,isn't as important to make the right hire at captain in football as it is in cricket or on a ship.

Dortmund,Porto,Ajax etc..won multiple national titles and European cups but understand their place as stepping stone clubs.they have ambition but they understand to be attractive to young talent you gotta sell them when they ready to go for a fair price or they no longer gonna attract them. Brighton qualify for a minor european tournament for the first time and lose their minds. Good one Kudus..hope we secretly sign him but only announce after we've signed Moises.

I do wonder what Woy has planned for Hall.may not get the desired minutes if he's going to be in the LB mix but they in need more at other positions Hall can play. Likewise with CC. Winks and Dewsbury- Hall( who scored twice on the weekend) look to be ahead of him atleast for now. Both clubs develop young players well but when look closer their current situations could be an issue.would prefer CC going to Southampton replacing Ward-Prowse for example.

Competition for every position.nobody is untouchable,and if some were Sanchez wouldnt be one of them.no more Rob Green's please.
