Are there any notable players that didn’t travel with the team to USA?

What level of ability and involvement are we seeing and expect from him? Let’s hear comparisons and no fence sitting. Does he have a future in the first team? Barkley level impact? Or just a Tom Davies? Or will be one of the countless academy graduates to ply their trade at lower levels, à la...

DCL has miles more footballing ability than this lad.

His endeavor, work rate, and graft were immense yesterday but clearly technical ability is lacking. He has been an important player but his position is one where higher quality is needed if we are meant to kick on.

haven’t seen it mentioned anywhere but do we know why Southampton elected to sell him?

Big fan of Dom and hope he stays but Aston Villa signed Jhon Duran for £15m. Fact is, there are decent strikers out there for reasonable prices but we just aren’t very good at it. We have spent very poorly on strikers since Lukaku’s departure.

latest surgery is the the final nail in the coffin for his time here. Big Dele fan and was so hopeful he would prove successful here, but it just hasn’t happened. Will be for the best if we part ways in the summer.

Same. Far too many knee jerk reactions in here. The boy is pure class and his finishing touch will soon return.

Can’t remember signing a Belgian that was poor for us.. don’t think he would be either. It’s a yes from me.

He is such a liability. Shouldn’t have even been on the pitch for the pen. Should have been hooked after the first yellow lest we see another pointless send off.

6am layover in DFW would be made easier with a win. Cmon boys, these are [Poor language removed].

It’s hard to tell if people are fishing/WUM or genuinely still believe it’s a loan.

The Portuguese (language) connection

We sold him yet?

Post of the day 🤣

Maupay was never going to work as a lone striker with the way we play, but I agree, with Beto to play off of might have a role to play. Makes me think of something like a Hesky/Owen partnership.

That’s to be expected though. One is a teenager and hopefully still has a lot of development ahead of him.

Spending £25m on Willy does make me immensely more enthusiastic than similar sums we spent on the likes of Walcott, Iwobi, etc. For one thing, Willy showed productivity in his first PL season and given his age you would still expect progression and improvement. Walcott and Iwobi were already...

While I don’t disagree, British/homegrown players always carry a premium.

Sign all the Belgians. Can’t recall one ever not being quality. Fellaini, Lukaku, Mirallas, Onana. They chat a lot of wham to the press on international duty, but all is forgiven when they back it up with their play on the pitch.
