Great profile for a team playing a direct style. Bet he’s on a tonne of cash though.

Or we have to find the hidden gems. A name I threw out last year was Mamadou Sangare who at the time was playing in Austria. Obviously material doubt over how that translates to a different league. Turns out in that case it was really fucking well, and Lens, who paid c£6m for him now have...

I’m a perfectionist. Leave me alone.

This is interesting, because intuitively I agree. But FotMob has recently started doing stats of ‘Goals Conceded whilst on Pitch’ and ‘XG Conceded whilst on Pitch’. Latibeaudiere Kitching Thomas Woolfenden Whilst we don’t concede as many with Lati on the pitch, the XG is in a similar...

Who’s said he’s 10 times better than Hamer? Because that’s not true. Separatly, as Sheaf has been brought into the conversation, I think ‘peak Sheaf’ probably is better than Onyeka. For my money, that summer when Hamer left ruined Sheaf as we started asking him to do more. Always brilliant at...

A lot of it is his sheer physicality. He’s not ‘quick’ but he has such large strides he eats up the ground. Can shield the ball phenomenally - probably better at drawing fouls than winning tackles.

Nah. Not having “an OK Championship DM”. He’s very good. Accept that this may not translate to PL ready as I have my doubts but just because some are overhyping don’t fall too far the other way.

Lovely jubbly.

The real hope is Millwall and Hull coming up. Hopefully then only need to find one remaining PL team to be better than.

Would have been a smart pickup back in the summer predating 23-24 (I think it was) as he was out of contract. We’ve moved well past his capability now. As an aside (because I have the Southampton v Arsenal game on), I know we all think Harwood-Bellis is a twat but I really wouldn’t mind him as...

Doesn’t make a massive amount of difference tbh. Millwall win means they can reach 90 and Boro 89, draw means Boro 90 and Millwall 88, Boro win means they could reach 92 and Millwall 87. Ideally not a Boro win but it doesn’t bother me.

Cracking ball in.

Thing is, ChatGPT is just rehashing any online fluff it can find. The Everton and Bayern stories I think were agent plants; not seen the Palace one so maybe slightly more credible.

All aboard the Franculino express.

I just feel like the tax system needs a bit of creativity in general. An example I’ve thought of is rolling council tax and stamp duty into one ‘property tax’. Not long back I did some sums (based on ONS data, etc) and I reckon we could raise enough to cover current average stamp duty takings...

It feels like the strategy is to open communication lines to locate and kill them.

Does the KC at Southampton count as an agent?

Is Ezri Konsa actually any good?

Thought it was going to be Liam Delap until this flop of a season he’s had.

Could never get my head around them bringing in Philogene when they already had Clarke tbh. Philogene is a better player but surely it was worth them improving pretty much any other position ahead of LW.
