You’ll have him until about October before Sucky deports him. Bad signing.


Seriously though, he’s barely if any upgrade on Harvey Barnes. A lot of money for someone who on the face of it looks like a squad filler.

He’s not even as good as Barnes imo.
 
Could well be the missing link for Chelsea ... Delap, Pedro and Jackson? ... may be an interesting title race ...
Nah, not unless we sign a decent keeper.
Id like another centre back too, but a keeper is must for any title challenge, we aint challenging for **** with Sanchez between the sticks.

Wouldn't be surprised if Maresca came in for Hermandsen... he's really good ... and we'd sell ... as Maresca knows (both)...
 
Being rumoured that Marti Cifuentes is about to be named as the new manager of Leicester City football club @Star of David Bardsley ...

The West London Sports paper which is marginally more credible than the other reports I’ve seen reckons it’s not happening but he’s undoubtedly a good manager. Dragged us from certain relegation to relatively comfortable safety in the first season. Fans loved him probably more than the results merited.

He spoke a lot about wanting to play a modern, more ‘progessive’ style. Every time he tried to get us playing better football, playing out from the back etc. it went horribly and we reverted to keeping it simple. With better players it would probably work, especially in this league. I don’t have any ill feeling towards him but we’ll probably never know what really happened at the end here.

Still, reckon it’ll be O’Neil anyway.

Different player and at 23 he's probably only going to get better. Makes our fwd 3 very dangerous imo.

Gordon Isak Elanga

Dan Burn is going to struggle in training
 
What happened to Chelsea signing Mike Maignan?
Staying at AC Milan now I think.
We werent willing to match AC's valuation of Frances No. 1 keeper, of £25m.
This is from the same club that paid £72m for Kepa, mind.....and £70m odd for Mudryk, yet baulked at £25m for a player who, statistically, I remember hearing somewhere, was the second best performing keeper in any of the major European Leagues (after Donnarumma) because, quote "We trust our current crop of keepers"..<laugh>
Kepa was still the best keeper on our books and we sold him for £5m so he can warm Arsenal's bench. Our second best keeper Petrovic, looks set to be sold because Maresca will not guarantee him minutes, which leaves us with Sanchez and Jorgensen, both of whom are dogshit.
In short, I am hoping we sign a new one.

can see why Leicester got relegated when they started to use their Yoof.
 
I don't get how Jackson and Delap play together? One or the other with Pedro right?

I didn't watch the game so I've no idea.
They probably wont, our front three will likely be Delap in the middle, Pedro on the left and Neto on the right.
Jackson will alternate with Delap.
Not sure where Gittens will fit in, and we still have Felix, Nkunku and Madueke who can play in wide forward positions.....again, we are over stacking our forward wide positions.
Estevao is joining in a couple of weeks too, so we really need to get selling.
Out of Felix, Madueke and Nkunku, Nkunku is the one I would want to keep, but he seems the most adamant of the three that he wants to leave, so not sure wtf is gonna happen.
Someone in Spain or Italy will take Felix I am sure, and Arsenal seem keen on Madueke, if a price gets agreed.

Yeah didn't think they'd both play.
