    My most disappointed was probably the Utd collapse. Absolutely threw that one away, I'm still not sure how we didn't win it. Close 2nd for Bournemouth collapse, then the Ipswich one too (a bit of a theme there). The win against Spurs was good...

    I just went and looked it up; some English players who scored more than DCL this season- Rashford, Hinshelwood (a DM), McNeil, Mavididi I want him to do well, and think he is talented and will prove some people wrong over the next year or two...

    What the absolute hell.
  • Sam0697
    I'm inclined to agree, although I don't think DCL will stay. Doak and McAtee are both high potential players, I especially rate what I've seen of McAtee. They will probably set us back around £50-60m total for the pair I'd say. Long term it would...

    Hes nowhere near England level anymore. In addition to Kane, Watkins and Solanke; Delap, Vardy and Welbeck all hit at least triple his goal return this season, and theres countless attackers and wingers who would get the nod ahead of him as a 9...

    Thats fair mate, its a tough gig following Baines and even Digne here - he will always be linked to the Rafael/Brands axis and people like their new dawns from eras. I think he's been a great servant, whats often not acknowledged is the lack of...

    I would be very happy with both of them, but I wonder how much of our limited budget would be taken up by them signing.

    Sidibe had the pedegree to replace Coleman but he just didnt fit (similar to Lucas Digne on the other side....but that worked) Brands tried hard for Dumfries & Liveramento at certain points, eventually the option was Patterson which obviously...

    They did but I'm not sure their reasoning was completely altruistic. Barcelona had a long tradition of not sullying their iconic shirt with a sponsors logo stained across the front of it. Obviously this admirable statement didn't sit too well...

    Only reason he didn't leave is because he got injured, his form dropped of a cliff and the teams he expected to come in for him just didn't. He still had every intention of binning us off at his first chance.

    I've said it loads, but I'll just reiterate - his single biggest issue for me is his fitness. Without his crippling injury record I would've been all for him staying on, but we need to stop carrying players who aren't available for a lot of the...

    It feels like if they're found guilty, there needs to be several seasons of penalties rather than just one hit. A one off relegation would be a big deal, but within 2 years they would be back at the top anyway. A 30 point deduction for 5 years...

    I wouldn't be surprised if they splash some cash on a couple of homegrown players from someone who needs some cash in, like Villa. Watkins or Rodgers perhaps, for homegrown quotas as much as anything.

    Sam0697 replied to the thread 2024/25 Dominic Calvert-Lewin.
    I agree. He seems like a decent guy, but all the pressure and tension has spilled over a bit in the last year or so, and even without that, things have gone a bit stale for him here. He's been at the club for 9 years- how many players spend that...
