ssur

Yep and tbh he needs to get his head out of his arse.

Really a little sh*t

Hahahaha was thinking the same uncanny

I'd take a draw as west ham have always been an annoying bogey team.

Goal out of nothing that's football as frustrating as it is.

Carney knee oh dear

Best sterling has played in ages...electric today

Enzo owes us a world class assist or goal now...go on buddy

Yep edited my post it was the next batch of questions.

TBH just watched his comments, he just says assess day by day and they want him back with the team asap...not that specific so could be months. Oh actually just saw subsequent he did say few weeks.

That's good!

I love him but he's not been particularly reliable so far on the injury front, basically guaranteed to miss 2-3 months a season. Real shame.

Thing is I think our interest ends here. I don't think the club will take too kindly to being used as a stalking horse for a new deal.

Journos throwing sh*t at the wall atm following Olise? Never heard of him.

I'm not sure how lavia impacts his path. To me with cucu being bang average Hall has a clear path to be chilly understudy and given chilly's injury record prob a good path to first team longer term.

Gallagher to west ham once paqueta goes to city (especally now KDB down for 4 months).

I suspect Sterling leaves next summer, he's probably on high wages and the board are keen to get younger and that would give madueke, Olise etc a year of prem experience as backups.

Matchday squad includes subs so no.

Agree it's banded about too easily now. World class to me means you get into a world Xi matchday squad. I'll be honest there's a good amount of players that may get there in a few years but as it stands it's Thiago and Reece if he stays fit. Gallagher imo is nowhere near top 6 quality. He's more mid-table.

In what way was enzo more proven? Yh he had a great world cup but only after the group stage (and plenty of players flash at world cups...james rodriguez anyone?) and half a season at benfica?...Now we obviously paid a huge sum for his potential and he looks utterly brilliant and a bargain now, caicedo is a more a known and proven quantity in terms of comparing when we signed both given he's had a full year in the prem

He is all heart, bursting big blue heart but his technique is limited and but for liverpool not capitalising he made some quite significant errors in the first 35 mins that could have seen the game gone. His second half was good I can't knock that but one good performance doesn't eliminate my concerns. If he's willing to be backup I have no issue but if we get 40-50m offer I think the club will have to sell.

From the updated Times article on Caicedo. Chelsea retain an interest in signing the 19-year-old midfielder Roméo Lavia from Southampton. Both Chelsea and Liverpool have had bids for Lavia rejected. Liverpool had been willing to go to £60 million but the player is understood to have indicated a desire to move to Stamford Bridge. Lavia is close to Chelsea’s co-director of recruitment and talent, Joe Shields, who was the driving force in Southampton signing him from Manchester City last summer. Shields moved to Southampton as head of senior recruitment last summer after years at City as academy scouting manager, but was poached by Chelsea in October. Think there is more legs to this, I completely forgot but Fabrizio reported we bid 50m at the end of last summer transfer window so we've clearly been tracking him a while...the bonus of lpool tears can never be understimated either 😄. Tbf the below lineup looks spicy. Sanchez James Disase Colwill Chilly Lavia Caicedo Sterling Enzo Mudryk Jackson

Pretty sure it was reported City's buy-back clause is effective in 2024 not now so think that point isn't in contention.

Enzo was so so good, absolute metronome in midfield. Jackson is going to be brilliant for us I think, reminds me of Drogba.

Also thrown in against Liverpool for his first prem game defo not up to speed but think he will be good. I think after the first 25 mins vastly the better team and tbh we should have won. A lot of positives. But badly badly need a dm.
