I'm one of the biggest critics of celebrity culture you can meet, I don't know why celebrity opinions are treated better than non celebrities. But we are just acknowledging it's sad that a young dad who just got married dying is a tragedy.
The celebrity as Ubermensch is the somewhat natural product of society's moral transition from theological to secular.
I agree that the loss of life under circumstances of war and genocide is perhaps more morally concerning than the millionaire...
Exactly this.
We could have signed him earlier and he wouldn’t have developed as he should have.
However we’re signing him at an age where he can still develop and possibly be sold on for a healthy profit - see Gyokeres

It's not a zero sum game: they don't have to accept being 4th choice. They just have to accept not being a regular starter. Whoever they are, they will get game time across the season, be it through injuries, rotation, or in cup competitions...
Same song and dance for EIGHT years now.
He will play, he will cost us points and he will make the players around him worse.
Can't believe the "don't mind him as 4th choice" crowd on here. We'd be spending money just to weaken the squad.

Has shown time and time again that, when the pressure is on, he folds -...
Quite a lot apparently, but not as much as for Beto, who, iirc, was considered 'dud' until he got a run and a bit of a chance.
He got injured last August and isn't now last I heard. Let him get a decent pre season and a run of games and see how...
I thought he looked promising in the middle part of last season, before the hamstring injury. Showed some good touches off the bench and what have you.
Definitely a player in there
Totally agree.
Our issue for some time has not been the strength of our starting XI (let's be real, not great, but not terrible) but has been the gulf in quality between the starting XI and the second XI. Has meant that any injuries result in a...
Reports suggesting Chelsea want to ship Nicholas Jackson. Early days but signs from the two CWC games that he hasn't reacted well to the Delap signing.
Only 24 and a proper nuisance. Chelsea's performances dropped off when he was unavailable...

Injury record a doubt but as cover I think this is a shrewd improvement of the squad
