    Ive always wanted to do that. Not for the sex, but because I drive a 2010 Clio and wouldn’t mind a swap.

    That’s the plan. I know a certain older chap that’s all over that kind of thing. Ahem.

    Do you not like this new founded harmony?

    Elanga doesn’t look like a 55m player yet.

    He looks like the 16 million pound player forest bought. He's only really useful on the counter... Hopefully he'll get better the more he plays and trains with better players.... Looks like he's not particularly great and playing proper football.

    He’s rapid. But his end product isn’t good yet. Theres something to work with which Eddie is great at developing. I am hopeful that he can unlock his potential.

    Not seeing much potential.. He is what he is kind of player. He's an athelete.

    Thiaw has made some sexy passes here. He looks a baller.

    These two CB's are levels above the two Howe is picking atm in every single area of the sport.

    Milan fans said he's good on the ball but makes silly errors, just saying.

    Could say he did on Sunday with the second tackle.

    They are the future. Howe understandably is relying on experience.

    Botman and Thiaw are technically better by a mile. They will make mistakes but their game is taking risks.

    Burn and Schar are safe. That’s risk and rewards/

    Yes that’s where the risk is sometimes to much. We want our players to be positive. Burn and Schar are the old guard. Dependable.

    Botman and Thiaw are risk takers but that’s where the midfield need to be quality.

    If we develop which we will. This quality will also develop.

    This game is a perfect opportunity for Howe now to try things.

    His all around game is excellent in comparison to Schar and Burn who actually repeatedely give the ball away.

    Him and Botman are proper top flight players.

    Schar and Burn cost us vs Barcelona at the end of the day.
