Strike

Today's visuals from the flight in Kabul are so heartbreaking. No words.

Agree. Werner is only useful in a counter-attacking plan where we spend a lot of time behind the ball.

Interesting

Just that first goal from what I saw. Recovered to have a good game - lots of clean ball winning tackles.

Why not? he's not had a long run of good games after 2016-17. Sensible to rotate him for Chilwell who's the better LWB

This 3 CB system suits AC and all our centrebacks - the spare CB kept coming out to harry attackers in possession.

Tammy, Batshuayi. Ugbo and Miazga are going but shows the depth of the dregs that there's still a half a dozen or so to go Zappa, Drinkwater, Barkley, Sarr, Emerson,

I find the glee among some fans celebrating his departure very distasteful. The "he can't play football", "misses most of his chances" narrative is very tiring- he did score 21 goals in 58 games. He's just not the starting striker for a team challenging for the league.

That moment the team was around Chalobah was great!

Twitter buzz that Chalobah starts

United look good but this is also Leeds - who leave themselves open in games

new rules isn't it? thicker offside lines

Pulisic instead of Mount? Ahead in fitness

I hope Tammy takes the Roma deal FFS- I can see Roma switching focus to another striker if he takes a long time to take a decision and I have zero confidence Arsenal will come up with the same money esp when they are haggling over deals for Aaron Ramsdale, Maddison etc too

Is there a TC FPL league this year?

Hope the players didn't get themselves fucked celebrating

Trevor Chalobah looked real good. Can he take the 4th DM spot?

Rice, Tchouameni links have gone cold for weeks. Doesn't look like there's time to do a deal. I was thinking Ampadu or Chalobah might get the chance but both were used at CB in pre-season.

Lot of ifs there and the Hazard comparison is far off. Never looked like Haaland had a serious desire to come here. He was thinking about it because there was no one else at the negotiation table this year. I doubt he would stay 6 years even if we did break the bank to sign him.

Would take it over winning Super Cup, CWC and losing everything else 👍

🤣 Winning those trophies won't mean half as much as winning a league title even with the novelty of winning it for the first time.

This might affect the Tammy, Zapata, Lukaku merry-go-round.

Makes him the footballer with the highest cumulative transfer fee paid for in his career - £293 million £18m to Chelsea. £28m to Everton. £76m to Man United. £74m to Inter. £97m to Chelsea. Neymar is second highest at £246m and Ronaldo third at £191m.

They'd have done it in the Lukaku deal itself if they were in need. Quite clearly want cash
