Maybe was posturing but Monaco supposedly insisting he would not be sold for less than 60mill euros (just over 51mill pounds). So if we get him for 45mill euros then well done to whoever is negotiating that deal.

Thats a surprise. Although if we are trying to make out he is not coming to us, because of the Enzo situation, him playing today is a good way to throw them off.

I voted for Pedro. One thing we can all agree on is that Malo Gusto has no right to be on the pitch. A fraudulent c**t, waste of space and oxygen, stinking up the place and having the f**king nerve to play when selected. We can all agree that his main skill is reach arounds I, for one, hope he dies a slow, painful death, mourned by noone.

Sorry, but this just twaddle

Henderson step up

Bring them back! I didn't mean that.

Bayern wouldn’t expect Olise to defend. Liverpool never expected Salah to defend. We never expected Hazard to defend. Stupid criticism to have as an attacker, there’s 8 players behind him.

Has Caicedo ever even been injured for us? Or in his career? Not sure you can say he often breaks down

I think he did well considering Alonso basically didn't play a midfield. Should have also had a wicked assist but he made sure everybody knew it.

Hes playing for Monaco tonight v Marseille, thought they might have rested him.

Basically worse or at best equal to Sánchez, but with a Shay Given twist to keep the fans happy. This truly is the Andy Burnham era.

So while none of the more "top tier" ITKs are reporting this, I have seen some suggesting that Lamine Camara is all done but we are holding off letting anything slip on it so as not to impact the potential Enzo sale. Both ourselves and City seem to be determined as to who "wins" that battle. Whether Enzo stays, or not, it sounds like Camara arrives.

Really solid game today. Was good both defending and going forwards. First half he got very little defensive support from Neto and sometimes had to cover two players. He looked disappointed to be subbed for the last 20 minutes but he had run his race by then.

I thought it was awfully generous of João Pedro to offer a free goal to our feeder club. I hope that everyone will remember to f**k off horrific pseudocapitalist sh*te like stablecoin. Take your pick.

I thought it was one of his best attacking performances in recent memory. Credit where it’s due. Absolute liability defensively but then he’s a winger not a full back so…

Perhaps one hoping to convince Liverpool to make, what would need to be, a huge offer.

Brought back the feel good factor and even though I am always excited and waiting for the next Chelsea match, this time hits differently. Been here for a whole two minutes, but managed to change the crooked culture from the past few years in such a short time. Ideally if he manages to get rid of Enzo Fernandez and Neto in the next hours and finds a top central midfielder to complement Caicedo, it would draw a line to an amazing summer. Ideally it would be another central defender similar to Lacroix as well. Don't know if this is on his to do list, but hopefully deadline day has one big surprise left for us.

Sunday draws to a close and we have the bizarre scenario of Enzo Maresca at the top of the PL and Liam Rosenior at the top of Ligue 1 !

I think the issue is mainly with our makeshift midfield, which makes it hard to have control. Hopefully Caicedo's injury isn't too serious and we get a solid midfielder before the window shuts. This would improve us a lot imo.

Xabi seems to be taking every competition seriously this season so I fail to see where he gets any minutes staying here. Loan seems the best option for all parties at this stage. £60,000,000 and needs a loan just so we’re all on the same page.

More than happy for the only criticism of our superstar attacking mid to be that he ‘doesn’t defend enough’ Blokes a f**king menace up front and is a huge reason we’re playing some of the most entertaining football I can remember. Nitpicking is what this criticism is. ‘Martinez had a good game but he wasn’t involved in any of our attacking link up play so he needs to work on that’ level logic.

Was at a beer festival with mates today but thankfully the game was on so managed to watch the majority of it. Can't see us having too many 0-0's this season! Great 3 points. Brighton are a decent side and will beat a lot of teams this season so a win is a win, but disappointing to hang on like we did, when the result could have been a lot more comfortable. But very happy with how things are looking. Biggest positives: Front 3. So exciting to watch and we will cause anyone problems. Martinez. He won't be happy to have conceded 3 on his debut but he did well and will stop me from having a heart attack a few times every game. So long Sanchez................... We have some good squad options. Bench looks a lot stronger now with the likes of Welbeck and Barco and it was great to see Josh get on again. Things are nicely set up for the Arsenal game next week. Sure, we will need to defend a lot better but we can hurt them. Happy Days!
