Hopefully he'll tell Pep he wants to stay, and Pep feels guilty for basically hamstringing him for two years and we get JG for £25m.

I am obsessed with him but lads we are not paying 50 million and big wages for a player about to turn 31. That's just a PSR black hole. It's not about how good the player is, it's just the reality of the rules right now. I can see us negotiating...

This is the thing that stands out most for me. Absolutely happy to receive the ball in any situation because he's so supremely comfortable and confident he won't give it away. Just transformative to have someone you can always pass to.

I know in my heart he won't but it won't stop me groaning at the team sheet when it's confirmed.

Because we've got a really quite good set of attackers now and this our current plan for actually getting the ball to them:

Id personally be gambling on him being an upgrade to Garner, but I think we'd need a fantastic DM to go alongside him. Maaaaybe we snatch him up on deadline day if we manage to get a great DM lined up too.

I believe in you Barry, ignore all the people writing you after after a pre season game, in which you almost scored and had an assist. I hope Moyes plays you tomorrow.

Yeah you may well be right actually. Easy to get a bit mixed up in the reporting when that position could be described as either an 8 or a 10 in our system. Id hoped we were looking to upgrade Garner is all. The ball-player in the middle of the...

Yeah I think his England No. 1 spot is safe lol

Hopefully they both have relegation release clauses.

Varela is probably the least sexy signing of the bunch. His ball winning got a lot better last year though. Cisse is a DM yeah. Earlier in the summer the word was we wanted a 6 and an 8 but it sounds like we've given up on an 8 now sadly

We literally already have and he's very good Edit: sorry any annoyance is directed at Moyes for being a baby about playing a developing player lol

If we're playing amateur DM scouting so we can look like know-it-alls if we sign one, then my choices are: Lucien Agoume Lamine Camara Djaoui Cisse Alan Varela Soungoutou Magassa 😎

On that note, who are our best set piece takers? I'm guessing KDH (left foot), Alcaraz (right foot), McNeil (left foot)... I don't think Grealish ever took many oddly?

Lad must be buzzing to train and play with Grealish for a year.
