It's a shame how it's all ended, he was a cracking player for us. It's also clear that his stinky performances post-January were more of a psychological issue when he knew he wasn't wanted here anymore. Eva-gate 2.0.

That in itself is not an issue to have a specialist in something (think Maka, nothing special on the ball), but for the team to fully benefit from his specialties he needs to have class ball-players around him. If we do not or when we're having a bad game in possession, his limitations will show more than it should, and it's not his fault. Luckily we do have good ball-players and we saw last season how effective we can be with this model, unfortunately currently the squad is just depleted.

Worry not, we have the mighty Kyle Scott. Sigh... 2 games, 2 losses. Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk

Understood, but what did GC do? Straight red? How did we perform 11v11? Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk

Can't watch the game. Saw 0-3, shocked! What happened? Why Boga subbed for Christensen, what formation we playing now? What did GC do? Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk

You don't start with a high bid, that's like the most basic thing in negotiations. However, no improved bid in a few weeks? That is worrying unless we have another target in mind. Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk

Nah we have Kyle Scott lol. Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk

We are missing out on realistic and good targets exactly because we are wasting our time with clubs/players who will never want to talk to us. Another dead end. Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk

Probably the stadium thing is hindering us, see no other explanation. We didn't really have such problems before the talks of a new stadium got serious. Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk

Man what i would give to have Isco here, brilliant player. Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk

Yes he said that.

Always good to have a player that has no significant weaknesses.

You don't belong here with your sensible and well thought out posts.

How people still can't understand that Nate wanted to leave, to play week in week out and to progress to be good enough for starting XI in the future? He wouldn't have been able to do so here. Our board is also very lenient towards players who want to leave, they will be allowed to do so even if it's a double POTY winner wanting to join our rivals.

Poor Monaco, will they have anybody left? Mendy, Bakayoko, Silva, maybe Mbappe and Lemar too... all gone. Would they be willing to sell Sidibe too? I definitely wouldn't mind him if we somehow managed to pull this off.

Last, by far. Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk

We won 2 out of 5.

Interesting, I will try to mash something up. Blackman Aina - Zouma - Kalas - Dasilva van Ginkel - Pasalic Palmer - Loftus-Cheek - Piazon Abraham

No I don't, but we are not competing with these guys. Reality check - we will not be on those teams' levels this season, if you were hoping otherwise. Whoever is available on the market and is an upgrade over those two I don't know, but it's very unlikely we could sign that player anymore when we can't even close Drinkwater. At the moment we need to make sure to be competitive in the league, UCL is not happening so whatever those elite teams are doing doesn't concern us now. I know, never claimed something like that. They are deputies so merely providing squad numbers when the others aren't available or need a rest. Ideally yes, but not in this transfer window. Candreva at best. We have positions that are in serious crisis and with the way this window has been going, we will not have the time or money to sign another high profile attacker.

There really is no need to sign any more attacking players when we have one world class one in Eden, two established and experienced ones in Willian and Pedro, and two talented and hungry youngsters in Musonda and Boga. Whoever accepts to be 4th choice would not be much better than those two anyway, and I doubt either of Pedro or Willian would accept being 4th choice if we signed an upgrade on them, so Charly and Jeremie would still have place. I also noticed Musonda was wearing nr. 17 shirt, which is quite unusual for a player who is not in first team plans, unless he is.

He was our best defender yesterday. Not sure why many hate him so much. Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk

Have they replaced Alves or is Spinazzola his replacement? It's odd that a right-footed plays left-back anyway, is he really a natural LB? Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk

Funny that our best chance came from Willian's worldie pass and Pedro's exquisite first touch and dribbling.

Is somebody saying he was shit? Thought he was our best player.

Yes, nothing wrong with that, it's just one kick. He failed, Cech made a good save, shit happens. In hindsight we are all know-it-alls, but at that moment giving a kick to a striker was sensible. Goalkeeper though? Not so sure.
