Hopefully saving James for Saturday otherwise seems bonkers not to have a more attacking wb playing

Seems odd to talk about Rom needing a rest then playing him tonight

There are no easy games in the premier league. Brentford have been flying high and Liverpool conceded three goals there remember. Given the youth at the back I’d say this was the most impressive win of the season so far. I hear the concerns about the forwards. Crazy how many of the attacking players in our squad appear out of form. Norwich at home next weekend. If we can’t score a couple there then I’ll start to worry. Need to get Mount back in and playing well. He dictates our press and passion - we look a better side when he is playing well. Should be Rom, Mount and Werner for me.

Surely James and azpi as CB would have made more sense

given the petition has been well publicised it seems crazy they've put him in charge. I can only hope that all the attention makes him think twice about screwing us over. the club should file a report. the win % when he is reffing us is incredibly telling when compared to just about all other refs.

I suspect all of us. Can’t see that happening though! The guy’s not yet scored 15 goals for us

Not ideal. Missing kante and mendy against their best 11

Loaning Ampadu and Gilmore and this falling through would be a proper cluster f**k.

Just not sure he’s suited to a midfield two

If we signed Kounde I’d be delighted to see him on loan at Dortmund. Really don’t want him going to a rival in prem and suddenly becoming the next sancho. But we have very little creativity on the right of defence if James is out. So Cho is needed for me. If we had Kounde at rcb you can probably get away with azpi at rwb. I liked Cho at wing back against the poorer teams.

We’re going to have made a tidy profit this summer. Yet we still get lumped in with Utd and city when talk turns to spending!

It’s difficult at the minute. At cm we have Billy and Gallagher to come back after another season of prem football. I’d also love to see us grab one of Rice or Bellingham as well in near future. So a loan or Ampadu would be my option. CB and/or rwb does feel thin to me, especially if Cho leaves on loan! Maybe jumped the gun selling all our good youth options bar chalobah. Wish we’d kept livermento for example.

It would be a shame. I’m not surprised they are playing hard ball. The window closes in two days and they haven’t got time to find a replacement. There’s always a premium for paying this late in the day. To expect the same price as early July is poor from the board. Don’t take this as me saying he is worth maguire money but TT clearly wanted an extra ball player on the right of the back 5 - be it wing back (hakimi) or rcb (Kounde). And he hasn’t got one

I’m obviously biased like all of us on here. But I’m 100% sure we don’t get gifted a result like Utd did by the ref today. It’s actually scandalous

The only way it should be obligation to buy is if he hits some very high-bar targets
