People forget as well that football careers aren’t long. He’s had 5 seasons with us in the first team making his debut under Carlo. He then came to prominence in the relegation run in under Lampard.
Now I actually think whilst it was good for...
He will go eventually just like every other good player we’ve had in my lifetime has at some point, or you see them stay to start declining and retire. If it’s this window of the one after he’ll leave unless we somehow get CL football and even...
Surely we are at least a decade away from a consideration of expanding capacity.
It probably should have been built bigger but at the time, it might then not have been done at all.
We've been waiting fully 25 years for this and it's done, it...
They’re not at the top table and their fans know it deep down this season. There was an absolute chasm between the teams over two legs. PSG were even confident enough at one goal down to claim they’d turn it around in the second leg at Anfield...
We should never forget how United and Chelsea shafted us under Silva. We were ready to pay big money for Zouma. Chelsea played us all window and then turned us down only to send him to a team in West Ham later for less. United turned down massive...
A fully fit Stones is a class above any CB we have. It’s just whether he can stay fit. If he can he’s still an absolute rolls royce with pace and a passing range that the likes of Tarkwoski O Brien and Keane just don’t possess.
Of course not, but if Stones was having discussions with Moyes he’s not going to like the sound of ‘Tarky and Branthwaite are my starting CBs, I see you taking Keano’s slot to push the others when they drop out’. He may as well sit on City’s...
I’d pretty much blocked out hopes of winning a cup the last few seasons. Even so though with a better team hopefully it’s still a lot easier navigating earlier rounds if you don’t have City, Liverpool, Chelsea Arsenal A etc. come out the hat...
I’d like to see us move for Esteve regardless tbh, he’s a good player.
However it’s not impossible to predict some sort of scenario that sees City take Branthwaite off us and send Stones our way, we plough the cash into Burnley for Esteve...
Can you imagine if that lot had fluked their way past PSG and deprived that team of winning the CL. That tie was the biggest mismatch I’ve seen in ages. Liverpool were nowhere near PSG. I think Barca would have slapped them as well this season...
Just want a few big unexpected wins. Bloody a few noses, especially the RS. A derby win and a win at one of emirates, Old Trafford or Stamford Bridge would be good for Moyes to throw off a few hoodoos.
Would also be good if we could avoid...
Can only really be assessed once we know what the likely squads will be across all 20 teams and the state of injuries.
If the Friedkins want Europe then the best way to do it would be to give the manager the sixth best squad. If they give him...
I’d more worry that if they’re true then Branthwaite is leaving.
Stones wouldn’t join us to sit on the bench, he’s absolutely top class, he’d want guaranteed first team football prior to the World Cup.
