Some weird appraisals here. His form in the first half of 20/21 basically kept us up. Then last season he was brilliant throughout. Does everything and more that you’d want from a player in that position. O’Hare and Gyokeres great players too, but Hamer will be a massive loss for us. Not easily...

That Malcolm Ebiowei has joined Palace. Was the best performance from an opposition player I saw last season (or certainly the one I noticed most), and I'd never heard of him before the game.

I think he definitely would be. World Cup on the horizon, he will be desperate to be involved. It wasn’t something I’d considered, but could give us a better chance of keeping hold of him. Edit - ignore entirely

Not sure this is true. Was one of our better players first year in the champ. He’s got all the ingredients for me, strong, athletic, competitive, and a capable defender. Hamstring injury affected his progress last season, but by all accounts did well when he played. Don’t love the idea of...

Ultimately to compete and step on we have to be clever, and take calculated risks. He's got pedigree and proven ability, but his career has taken a dip and he's not played enough football. Bottom line is, he's a good age, not had any major injuries, and should be an upgrade on what we've got...

Optimistic that he can work nicely with our set up. Effectively I’d see him as challenging for Allen’s position. Had a bad spell but evidently a good player, with pedigree.

Depends entirely on the business they do, and they've not done a great job of that recently. They weren’t a great side last season and haven’t got many players that look certainties to step up. They’ll probably be fine as you basically need to be a small fish or a basket case to go down from...

From a quick glance on Twitter, Southampton have been linked with O’Hare at various points since 2017 when he was at Villa, so could be legs in it. Not sure we could expect another side to pay much more than £7m, but I think he’s worth more than that to us. If he bagged half the amount of goals...

My god, what a baby you are. I don’t mean he’s scrapping every two minutes, I mean aggressive when playing football; he was strong, looked for contact, put himself about. Hardly a controversial opinion. Not even saying he’s a good player.

Lol, fair play, really funny

I didn't say that.

Strange. What point are you making there? Just read through and I stand by what I said (a long time ago, and v strange that you've cited it). The reason Biamou was played so often was because Walker wasn't good enough, didn't have a presence. Biamou wasn't good enough, but he was aggressive and...

Walker isn't up to the level. Doesn't have the technical ability, pace, or strength required, and then crucially appears to lack the intensity and aggression required to combat those shortcomings. Not questioning his attitude or professionalism, these aren't attributes you can just turn...

V good player at this level, Luton aside we always looked stronger with him in the team.

Was ridiculous when he came on the pitch, could tell he fancies himself a really good manager.

Yeah fair, all very good players, though I would put him right in the mix there, personally. Bielik and Berge not done a huge amount this season either, though appreciate they have pedigree.

For me his level the last 6 games has been very high, which puts him in that conversation. Be interested to hear who you think he's behind?

Is he the best central midfielder in the division? I can think of a lot of attacking midfielders who are well regarded, but in Gus' position, I don't think there's anyone who touches him at the moment.

Moore incredible tonight. Allen’s work rate brilliant. Gus’ quality of pass and intensity beyond this level. Gyok one of my favourite strikers we’ve had. Can do everything. PUSB

He’s as good as you’ll get at this level. He and Sheaf give us the control in games.
