De Jong would be a dream signing for this midfield but unfortunately he and a few other high earners are set to take cuts or even just leave the club in general like alba and busquets.

good player but far too much money. I would rather give D fofana a chance, he looks lively from his limited appearances so far

Hilarious, as soon as those numbers came out I think everyone knew something dodgy was going on

its not just about win rate. There's a lot of factors that go into it. Whilst he has been underwhelming thus far, I put the majority of that blame on our terrible squad. You should only really be judging him from after the jan window, and whilst we have dropped points, on the positive side we have only conceded 1 goal and not lost yet, which is clear progress compared to before. Throw in the fact that we have injured players returning and im sure it'll start looking good for us soon

We are heavily undervaluing Pulisic here. Pulisic valued at around 30-35m I would say, maybe even a little higher. So Pulisic + 40-50m should be enough for Felix.

if you actually watched the games without having a bias towards certain players you would see he has been bad for a long time, and always was overrated by a certain section of our fanbase. he is just not on the level technically and footballing brain wise as someone like a Reece James or even Lewis Hall. Not sure why hes so adored by certain fans? I mean I think I know why...

Noni isnt in the UCL squad...

hes been poor for ages, quite easy to see it. Its just the casual fans who dont really understand football at a nuanced level are seeing it more now because he doesnt statpad from set pieces and norwich are no longer in the prem. the boy from portsmouth is not good enough im afraid

would happily sell him to liverpool if they offered anything above 35-40m. academy product as well so helps massively with FFP, as will the sales of gallagher and chalobah who will fetch good prices. I always felt people were heavily overrating mount, he was always poor at making passes in the final 3rd and was always known more for his work rate and passion on the pitch more so than technical ability. Even if you do a breakdown of his "great stats" from 19/20 and 20/21, you will notice that the majority of those "chances created" and "assists" came from taking 99% of the set pieces we had, whether it was a corner or free kick. compare that to his open play assists, and he has FAR FAR fewer. And when you take into account teams that aren't battling relegation (norwich, watford etc) his stats are even scarier and massively inflated. Reece James is a true blue and one that is genuinely class, one of the best (if not THE best) in his respective position in the world. Mount meanwhile is nowhere near that level and sadly never will be

is sterling back from injury? ziyech is also a good choice for the champions league and his long balls against a high line will prove affective.

dortmund arent the best team but they have been in good form as of late. wonder how we will do with no badiashille or madueke in the squad. Dont want to see mount start as he has to be dropped for his dreadful performances over the past 18 months
