A know another site that has a waiting/approval period before you can make a first post. That way anyone who wants to troll has to be really committed.
Pickford has already demonstrated that he can survive a witch-hunt after the media frenzy for "Virgil". Then there was him bouncing back after the Courtois comment + aftermath.
That said, we can't shy away from the fact that Trafford to City presents a genuine threat to his England place now...
I know players train every day to keep sharp, but hasn't KDH been without regular football since Leicester were last in The Championship?
If he's brought in too late, which is the standard for us most of the time, it'll take him time to get to a respectable level imo.
At least McAtee played...
Personally speaking, I'd just like to see it more consistently. I've got nothing against McNeil, especially as a squad player, but his form is definitely sporadic.
I guess he wouldn't be with us if he played like Brighton away routinely, though.
We just need to put pictures of Chelsea's bench up at Finch Farm. Young talents will soon come around to the idea that if they sign for them, they won't be starting anytime soon. :dodgy:
The problem arises when they get told about Strasbourg...
Probably just me, then. Like you've said, he was important during the invincible season. Maybe it's just my brain telling me that he had a drop off because Leverkusen weren't as good in general?
Granit Xhaka to Sunderland. Actually think that's a poor signing compared to the rest they've made because it looked like he'd run out of energy the last time I saw him 🤷♂️
