Oh, I certainly think the club would have him here in a heartbeat. But for 100m? That's the sort of money a club spends for a potential world beater. Question the board has to ask themselves is if Sancho is really worth that much more than the next best RW target. I admittedly haven't seen enough to say.

Giroud is the more complete CF and I agree he should start. He'll be desperate to prove a point. Sadly, can't see Frank throwing him in ahead of Bats out of the blue.

I did actually completely forget about that. So yeah, I think that rules us out of the running. Can't see us paying near that much for any player.

I actually don't think Sancho will be as pricey as people think. Don't think anyone would pay anywhere near 100m for him. Even a desperate club like United. Even a club with infinite money like City wouldnt. He'll probably go for €70-80m because he'll kick up a fuss and Dortmund will want him out. And for that price I'd love him here. Pedro out, Sancho in.

Rumblings of Pellegrini being on the verge of the sack for being so poor and they've conceded goals for fun (even more so than we have ) so this is a must win. Curious to see who starts for us up top since Tammy will likely be rested.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HOW IS THAT A PENALTY?!!!!!!

Without exaggeration this is the worst refereeing performance I've ever seen. BY FAR!!!

Man, we desperately need Rudiger fit. Someone to command the defense. I can't take much more of this clownish defending. AND ANOTHER BULLSHIT FOUL!!!

HOLY SHIT THATS THE THIRD TIME THIS REF HAS PENALIZED OUR PLAYER FOR SHIELDING HIMSELF!!!!!! WTF!!!

Fine going forward, all over the shop defensively. It's the quick turnover that has killed us since the start of last season under Sarri. Opponent wins the ball or intercepts a square pass and we are immedietly fucked. This is the problem with Kante playing so high up the pitch.

My word, this defending....

They're hurting us in the same way every time. Just one simple pass straight up the middle and we haven't adjusted. Ffs...

AND AGAIN with a cheap dive to halt one of our attacks!

As is typical of Spanish teams, Valencia players throwing themselves to ground theatrically with even the slightest contact. So annoying.

Yeahhhh, I really don't want us to drop into the EL. Last thing we need while we have a healthy position in the top 4 is loads of fixtures against a bunch of clubs no one has heard of.

Almost forgot Pedro existed, tbh. Kinda sad. Guess Frank just fancies Willian's ability to carry the ball more than he fancies Pedro's better eye for a goal. We'll 100% be after another winger either in January or the summer.

Wow @ that team! Some huge calls from Frank.

I'm excited and shitting it at the same time! So much pressure on our lads today. I feel like we can't afford to go behind early or the pressure may be too much.

Just got home and wasn't able to see the match. I expected us to lose this since in my mind City away is the toughest fixture on our fixture list. The way they play in attack is what our personell in defense struggle against. With Arse dropping points, all we need is a nice Sheff United result tomorrow and this won't be that bad of a weekend. Just have to keep getting victories consistently against the smaller teams. All of our rivals are super inconsistent and can drop points against anyone it seems. Just have to keep United and Spuds at arms length.

Think he'll give them a considerable boost this season but it gets sketchy in the summer. Basically will need an entirely new back 4. Will Eriksen be happy now and want to stay under Mou? They need some major surgery and I can't see Levy giving Mou the absolute dump truck full of cash needed to rebuild. Mourinho is still a big enough lure to get them some nice signings in his first season I suppose. Plus the lure of London. What a weird appointment, though. Both from Spuds' perspective and Mou's. Like Arsenal, Spuds seem like the opposite sort of club that would be interested in him. They claim to be all about class, dignity, bringing through young players, playing exciting footy. They don't spend loads of cash and don't ever have a controversial figure representing the club. From Mou's perspective, I feel like if he had waitied until the summer he could've gotten a bigger, better job. Will be interesting to see how Mou reacts after a coup,e of transfer windows in which Levy refuses to buy from the top of the tree or after his top target chooses a rival PL club over Spuds. Who knows, maybe Levy has changed and will spend like the big boys now.

Everyone here knows I still love Mou, but he does come off as super bitter here. He has been wrong about pretty much everything in regards to us this season. Almost like he's holding a grudge.

Liverpool just have so many players who are ridiculous crossers of the ball. The delivery from wide areas is almost impossible to deal with. The best way to play against Liverpool is to press them and force their fullbacks back. But then you run the risk of getting slaughtered on the counter.

Come on, Brighton! Make this another perfect weekend for us.

Pretty much the same sort of player as RLC. Don't think we need another box to box guy.

Fantastic all around performance. Kova was again amazing. Kante looked like he barely missed any time. Reece James was as calm as a 10 year vet. Pulisic looked like Mo Salah every time he got it around their box. Just a constant pain in their ass. And then there was Zouma and Tomori who didn't let anything near Kepa. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
