Isn't it fucking lovely to support a club that buys quality players before their prime with the right mentality to succeed. Bruno, Isak, Botman, Gordon, Tonali, Livramento, Barnes, Hall. Long term signings with attitudes and ambition in line with the club, who will help to cultivate our identity and be rewarded with the opportunity to reach their potential whilst enjoying our richly passionate supporter base.

Are we sure that isn't Matty Longstaff?

So, just so we're clear this is a new signing you like?

And surely there's some interest in Manquillo from Spain?

Does this not turn Burn into a more readily available CB though? 2-for-1. Plus we have Krafth returning from injury who actually played well at CB when called on under Howe.

English and Spanish heritage here, so I guess it's a win.

They've been doing this for bloody ages, buying loads of talented young players, loaning the ones out who arent top echelon and then selling them for huge profits. This is just higher profile players and larger fees. It only works results wise if you have a proper strategy to the purchases and someone to bring them together on the field. For me I'm not sure that Pochettino will be able to do that, but he's going to get a good chance at it, both in terms of money to spent and time to bring an identity to a Chelsea team that has lacked one since Conte. I can't see them jettisoning another manager in a big hurry.

He's such a triggered bitch, it's hilarious.

Yeah chook is colloquial for chicken you DCs. You can figure that one out yourselves.

Players will be up for the challenge.

Plus at some point a horse teethed twat or a lego haired arm flailer will use this against us because we had the ball in play for less time due to a mercy rule being implemented against slain foes.

Exactly, Martinez had to sweep at least 3 or 4 times which is way too many. They'll need to have a rethink about that strategy though they'll not play many sides with anywhere close to our persistent intensity.

Great debut for Tonali, not just the goal but also his work rate and understanding with our other players.

I think we'll only see the new injury/added time applied in games where the result is not already decided. We could have had 8 or 9 here

None of which matter when you score 5.

Today couldn't really have gone much better for us or much worse for Villa.

Hahhaah you love it Barnes! Well set up by the Murph
