….our school hymn was ‘These things shall be a loftier race’. Hardly a classic but 50 years later I can still remember it was no 312 in the Hymn book.

….only time will tell, he might well be superior to Mykolenko and Barry more effective than Beto.

….i’m less sure of him being ‘best on counter’. He tends to slow and stand his opponent up rather than be direct and pacy. Always think players like him make it difficult for central strikers looking to time their run ahead of CBs. Also not sure he ‘walks into our team’ ahead of Ndiaye.

….love signings like this, it indicates a recruiting team that really do their homework and have knowledge of the global game. He just needs to be effective, only time will tell but very encouraging window so far.

….i just don’t think he’s very good, but i suppose we need squad fillers. I dare say his wages won’t be cheap even subsidised.

….yep, almost impossible to shift a player like him on an extraordinary contract, can’t blame the player.

….Manchester City comparison; Sterling 91 goals in 225 games (a goal every 2.4 games) Grealish 12 goals in 94 games (a goal every 7.8 games) Grealish cost £100m, crazy.

…I wasn’t a fan even when he was at Villa. I watched him closely in his last game for them at Goodison and I was very disappointed. I have always thought he was very lucky to get the move he got. hugely overrated and a misjudgement from City. Maybe he has a point to prove, maybe he’s lost his...

….might be a restriction in flying.

….i posted exactly the same a few days ago, very much reminds me of Willian.

….i will. They’ll ultimately be judged on results, I just welcome the fact they’re not going to be held to ransom or pay over the odds on their valuation or salary. Of course, there’ll be wiggle room on valuation. None of us know what’s being discussed or the figures involved, none of us know...

…. they obviously offered something he was happy to accept, unlike Doucoure (or DCL?) which is fine. It seems they have firm valuations.

….nobody truly know what’s going on or the detail involved. I think this regime has strict player valuation be it fee or salary. Personally I much prefer that.

…I loved the old CoE assembly songs, proper hymns like Praise my soul.

….that’s the Punch & Judy cafe on Lime St, Liverpool. Yep, I’ve always lived in Liverpool :oops:

….cheers, Macca, that makes sense now.
