    I thought that he did alright when he was used, but he just didn't score.
    Held the ball up well and brought others into the game, which still got us winning games.
    There was a lot of focus on him failing to put the ball in the net though, which is fair enough.

    Definitely needs a move and to stay fit, though.

    Fulham have some great young players, Sessegnon for example. Don't get your point? Grealish at 22 is the best player at his club, there's not many players at that age who you can say that about.

    We all know Chilwell, Gray, Ndidi and Diabate are all future ballon d'or winners judging by the way you hype them up but there are other young players with good futures, as surprising as that may seem to you.

    Sturridge is ours. Fitness is back and scored 7 goals in preseason. Looks sharp.

    Plus we can play Salah there. Loads of options.

    Certainly not Ings ffs <doh>

    Sorry mate....to me, while having that avatar and having a pop at Spurs doesn't work. You come across as a Spurs version of A87.;)

    That would have worked, but it was Spurs fans who said that.

    Unlucky mate :)

    Don’t be ridiculous.

    Sissoko was obviously meant for the first eleven. No, it didn’t work out that way.

    And what quality striker do you propose buying for £30 mill, and who’s happy to sit on a bench??

    Nope ...Chilwell and Gray both need big seasons ... Ndidi will no doubt go to a much bigger club within a couple of seasons ... Diabate could be anything ... reminds me of a much quicker version of Paulo Wanchope ...

    And Norwich didn't, yet you signed 21-year-old James Maddison for £20m and you're happy about it.
    That must be a long ****ing year! <laugh>

    Might as well have done after claiming that Toby is only worth £10m and Grealish £60m <laugh>

    Yeah but he's going to the Asian games then going national service.

    We have loads of options.

    Shaq on the right. Salah up front. Salah on left Mane up front.

    Firmino benched Sturridge up front.

    Etc etc. That's the beauty of our squad, so flexible.

    Even Shaq as a 10 worked a treat recently.



    Without Kane Spurs are short. Hughely. They can dress it up however they want but their squad depth is poor.

    First 11? Whose spot was he taking? Eriksen, diers or dembeles? That's without including wanyana who you also bought and is far better

    It's almost deadline day mate. Everyone seems to be waving their willys about. It'll calm down when the window shuts.

    What were Maddison's goals and assists vs Grealish ... just as a matter of interest ...

    Being honest I like Maddison for his energy and ability to go past people ... that he also has a dead ball angle is a bonus ... we needed all those qualities in our central midfield... what does Grealish add to you? ... hair product sponsorship?

    Nobody had said Grealish is worth £60 mill and £10 mill for Alferweireld is another Hiag wum, which you know he doesn’t believe.

    Also Shaquiri has one decent game in 10. Bags of talent. But ultimately a lazy ****.
