Soooo Hull should have had a penalty. Guess nobody is complainkng about that lol

Well they are right. Was a clear freekick. Refs been absolute dogsh*t, both ways

I would have been pissed if we conceded a penalty like that

A draw here would be perfect. Love watching Baldiola lose it on the sidelines, absolutely hillarious

Odd comment to make seeing how a Dembele-Kanté pairing would be a absomutely ideal and the best CM duo in the league. Dembele is exactly the kind of player we need

Depends entirely on the contract, but since he is (at least rumoured to be) looking at a salary increase it would overwrite the current contract. A contract extension of his current deal makes little sense for any of the parties involved

Yeah, theres no way Boro are selling Gibson in January. Giving them a back up striker certainly isnt going to change that

Would get nowere near the starting 11 in those teams at current level.

Fernandinho is suspended

They cant even do that anymore. Bravo has started puntong it upfield Im having a grand ole time watching this

To be fair, thats exactly how this forum would have reacted.

Hahahahaha

Agree. Its pointless. What club is going to take on one of our players, for four months, and play him over one of their own? Unless its with an option for a second year (which would be even dumber) I cant see it. Anyway, its a moot point. He isnt going out on loan

Doubtfull

A loan move to another team in january would be terrible. At least here he gets to train with the first team and has the chance to earn some playing time. Getting four months at a new club doesnt give him much time to crack the starting 11, chances are he would sit on the bench and get 5-10 minute cameos

Obviously

Never said it wasnt possible that somebody hadnt heard of him. I just said it wasnt some unheard of player that suddenly popped up on the radar as a 27 year old. He was a highly regarded talent for a long time, but always had a sh*t attitude which is why a move never materialized.

To say nobody had heard of him up untill a few years ago is a bit unfair. He was always an exceptional talent that was highly regarded when he played for StEtienne. Big clubs have scouted him for years, Arsenal have been close to signing him several times. Ultimately what it comes down to and why he went to a smaller club like West Ham despite seemingly being able to walk into any side bar Barcelona and maybe Real is in plain view this year. He has a sh*t attitude and will throw his toys out the pram at first sign of struggle.

Really hate this "If you take away player As best attribute" he isnt that good. So stupid

As of now youre probably right

Will probably cost at least 40 million, bit steep for a squad player. Not my money, but would think theres better value to be had

Would be a huge waste to have him play that deep, much better fit as one of the two behind Costa

None of these players fit what you described. Literally none of them. Quite a few of them arent any good box to box either and are dependent on protection of either a DM or a more productive passer next to them. I dont think anyone will disagree that we need a dynamic box to box player though

As of right now, Id much prefer Aké getting those minutes as he actually looks ready to contribute this year.

Yeah that player would be a ballon d'or candidate, pretty much every teams wet dream. Unless you can clone Lothar Mathäeus theres no chance of finding someone like that. So thats it then? Surely theres someone between Llorente and Aguero
