Lucas for me. Constant threat, but a bit rusty in his finishing. The ref was a disgrace.

Although I agree Vorm did nothing wrong, the last few games shows he will cost us lots of points if we don't get Hugo back soon. On every set piece we concede, he just stands there, cemented to the pitch. I'm not saying Hugo would have saved them all, but I can guarantee he at least would get a...

How do you suppose smaller countries, like Norway, should maintain a garrison, if not by military service? Military service is not just learning to kill things, you should read up on it. On topic, happy for Son. Hopefully he’ll hit the ground running after a good rest.

Wish we had made a statement and put Lloris on the bench. I have to wonder if he has his mind 100% on the game today.

If that's the case, they need to fire the PR-team and everyone who has put a lid on it. Delaying this a month at a time just buries us in bad news once every 4 weeks. Just announce it is delayed until January, rip the band aid off.

Where is Trip? Did I miss anything?

He played this spring, and he'll play this autumn if he's still at the club. Just like Walker played after him and Poch had a falling out. Poch is a professional.

I think they where talking about Graelish specifically, and he meant that he isn't our first choice.

He announced that back in May :) Link.

Are you sure your friend isn't even better friends with your wife? :sneaky:

Pardon my ignorance (and 'off topic'-ness), but is Wyscout something to look at when checking out players we are linked to, or is it too technical? I see they have a 14 day trial.

Maybe you’re right, but I think we talked about the same thing when we where buying Soldado, and head a release clause. But anyway, a release clause would require the whole amount to be payed upfront, no?

Am I wrong, or do release clauses in Spain require the player themselves buying out their own contracts? If so, we would need to give Kovacic 44 mill for him to buy himself out. And as far as I know, we don’t pay that much upfront for any transfer. I maybe wrong, but I seem to remember this...

Marry me, Luka.

So, because we're at a different stage of our development, we should stop buying cheap talent? Buying established stars is expensive, and no sure way of getting success. Look at Manchester United, what have they achieved since Ferguson left? Some trophies, sure, but nothing a club of that...
