Well because I didn't mention them, it was a typo.

You pulled Brentford out of nowhere.

Go and check the numbers. Mine tie back to what I'm saying.

You seem a bit agitated trying to get a win this afternoon, time for a break me thinks.

Well I selected the last 2 years as they are complete.

Well done on trying to shift goalposts for some reason.

Last 2 seasons Bournemouth have spent net £200m and £150m so your point makes little to no sense.

Bournemouth net spend in 24/25: £70m
Bournemouth Net spend in 23/24: £128m
Total net spend last 2 seasons = £200m

Brighton net spend in 24/25: £230m
Brighton net spend in 23/24: -£83m
Total net spend last 2 season = £150m

My original post said Bournemouth,

It should have said Bournemouth AND Brighton have spent £200m and £150m respectively.

One suspects you are being purposefully obtuse for comedic effect.

Some of my most enduring memories of watching City are of watching Ian Gibson and Tommy Hutchison turning defenders inside out.
Esse does that.

Esse has settled in very quickly. I like the look of him.

I hope we will soon be saying the same about Yang.

For all the hype, I don’t see it. I see a player who can produce magic, but is mostly ill-disciplined and lacks any work ethic to track back. He was all over the place today. This January window has been a disaster.

Not every trick is gonna come off. He's clearly got more talent than most and will be a big asset for us in second half of the season

That’s less of a worry. What worries me is his positioning and inability to track back. Really feels the loan purchase is like a jolly for him.

At the same time you can see why Palace don't want to give him a look in despite being very stretched as a squad themselves. I don't think you're going to train the bullshit flicks out of him at this point

Yet emc is a cult hero but doesn't track back.

Lacks experience and tactical discipline, but extremely talented and carries more of a threat than Saka (whose main assets are tactical discipline and intelligence).

There will be games that favour one over the other.

I agree he should be doing better in that department, but at least he actually positions himself on the wing. I don’t know what position Esse was playing in the first half.

There were points in the first half today where we were playing with two right wingers and no left winger.

Oggy was complaining about all his little flicks today. Too many and too often. There's a time for tricks and a time to just keep it simple.

Very talented, but very frustrating at times.

The 7th of February is always the best time to judge a January transfer window.

Exactly this, carries a threat, but does seem to lose the ball in areas of the pitch he shouldn't.

His through ball for Torp's pullback was sublime.

He’s a young lad trying to impress, he’s just making a lot of bad decisions. I like that he’s direct the other bloke we signed on loan is more of a worry.
