Cheers 👍 -
Hummels 😍 I could live with him and Reus lifting the CL trophy like. I suspect it has Real's name on it again though.

Yes but it's fun to jump into every now. It's hard to argue against Messi tbh, even before the World Cup win I thought he'd done enough. What I think most reasonable people should agree on is that Ronaldo shouln't even feature in this conversation (CR7 of course, the Brazilian lad I have a lot of time for) A good excuse to watch this again: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1RFJ3rYMP-WkXnxrhq8HOdVKw8mhQOTFo/view?usp=sharing -
For a club with our resources, spending 60-70M on a young forward with great potential who could score 10 goals now and maybe 20+ in the future is the standard plan. For many mid table PL clubs, that's not an option. For them, a 20M striker who can score 10-15 goals in the season could mean the difference between staying up and going down, or maybe an unlikely Europe push for the Fulhams, Wolves and Palaces of this world. I think people underestimate the impact Wilson could still have for many PL clubs. Which is why in an ideal world you wouldn't want to sell him. But we have bigger ambitions now and need not concern ourselves with mid table permutations.

Ive always thought this. And obviously I've only watched him on videos but just the way he played man, he could do absolutely everything. The way he could stand in a 5 yard space and beat 3 international defenders was incredible. It's hard to make a case against Messi for the all time great now but not even he or Maradona dribbled past people in the way Pele did, or navigated the ball in close spaces, casually flicking the ball over people's heads and what not Wasn't there a video someone did when Pele died, showing Pele do every trick or flick before another great of the game that the thing would usually be associated with; from Cruyff to Maradona to Ronaldinho to Zidane. The man was football itself. -
Look. Wilson, Longstaff, even Miggy to a lesser extent have all been important and as has been discussed all still have their uses in the squad. But unless you want to sell Isak or Bruno this is where the FFP wriggle room comes from. 20M for Wilson will probably be more useful to us than the 10 goals he'll get from the 15 games he will play next season.

Half the team they had out there are genuine contenders for worst signings in PL history. Casemiro, Antony, Onana, Mount, Wan Bissaka
-
Ok this is hilarious but we don't need Ten Hag sacked here
-
Genuinely creased at this
-
Didn't he give the ball away for the corner
-
Ritchie doing a Dummet impression but in a batter situation
-
What are our fans singing? Can't make it out

Anthony Taylor really is a prick
-
No rest for Gordon still he looks knackered

Longy is just on another frequency to the rest of the team at times
-
He's made some absolute howlers for them this season
-
Longstaff man He's been good today overall after a long while though
-
Give longy a rest now maybe Eddie lad
-
These are really asking for a absolute smashing.
-
Ffs Isak man
-
Oh hand on I swear I just posted this

Hopefully Isak can get a goal and stay in the golden boot race. Get him a pen Antony lad
-
How's that not a foul on Tino? He should be clearing those though
