Transfer Rumours Let's ignore the big ****ing elephant and blame the latest manager, again. Are we nearly there yet?

Sancho smashes that one! Rice, Rice, Baby type of defending so far from Arsenal.

 

I don’t think Martinez knows that this is a preseason match. What a legend this guy will become!

 

Good competetive first half, be interesting to see who comes out for the second half and how they perform.
Need to keep playing like it's a real game.

 

Second half has been a contrast to the first half when we controlled the midfield. But with the full team change, we are less intense and inviting pressure from Arsenal.

 

LOL. I didn’t realize what you meant here until I heard the commentator repeat it. Now I’m looking forward to seeing who is called the winner if we lose the penalties.

 

Stream went off on the final whistle, you will have to let me know who wins the penalties

 

If you haven't seen it, it was a good game, we dominated for a good part of the match and more than held our own despite numerous changes at half time. Two great goals, a very encouraging performance. BTW, Rice was anonymous.

 

We did....

 

ESPN did the same thing here. I guess not even Americans could make sense of the stupid spectacle.

 

I had to check the team sheet to be sure he was playing. Early days for him, but I don’t think I’ve ever lost sleep seeing him play against us in his years at West Ham.

 

He will be the classic example of that big fish in a small pond syndrome.

 

Good news

 

Our new away kit - thoughts?

 

I think the kit is alright. But why the f are they all dressed like they are going for a game of golf?

 

They look nothing like @Chief

 

I bet we swap Maguire for Mbappe. You heard it here first.

 

Mbappe is far worse than Maguire at defending

 

I like that.

Liverpool did it as well, they looked like a bunch of pimps.

I think it's to advertise the 'fashion' version of the shirt.

I do like this one, can't lie

Not that I'd ever buy one. I think my son will have his eye on one though.

 

@Solid_Air 2 you were right!

I don’t know why they look like they are ready to play golf but I agree that they do look attractive from that perspective.

The more I think about this, the more I see the sense in going for Hojlund as opposed to some well known player. I like his current attributes. I know that Chief mentioned Evan Ferguson but when I compare the attributes of both players, Hojlund stands out for me as the better of the two.

I think we have enough firepower in the team to not need a well established striker. We can certainly accommodate one that is developing while still competing for top prize.
