You are right of course but when you get into a scuffle, try to run away, chin a cop and then attempt to bribe your way out of custody you have to look in your little jail mirror and say my name is Harry and im a complete muffin.

We both watched him a decent amount at MLS, he probably projected to be an OK winger most of the time. If anyone really thought he could make the jump to a Dani Alves level FB, he would have cost 4x as much

Exactly using Davis as an example is some serious results orientated thinking. If you were good enough to know how elite he'd be then you should be getting paid serious $$$ at a top European club.

Sure, but he played all those games for Vancouver and Canada as a winger. At that position would he be better than guys like Richarlison, Sarr, James and countless other young attacking wingers bought lately? I'm not sure. But with good coaching and in a great team he's excelled at a new position.

ya tbf i expected him to get exposed at left back (at this level), a position he'd never really played before bayern

but i guess he's a quick learner
and/or being really, really, really fast is good enough

That reminds me of the C.P scout that refused to sign off on VvD because he was too slow. Warnock was trying to push it through £6m

There will be thousands of cases like that and probably the same amount of players who have just not been given that opportunity to move to the bigger/better side in order to show how good they are.

I want to wait to see the Chillwell price before commenting on anything

But I can't remember many huge $$$ brave-englishmen signings ever going right so i'm not optimistic

I think both Chelsea and us are losing out if Chilwell goes for ~50m.

I did read vague rumors there might be some decent add-ons as well, in which case I'm not too bothered so long as we're confident of a replacement, or at the very least decent player/s to plug the others gaps we have in the squad.

50M is what you pay for a good player in the current der markt.

Not quite sure what you mean by paying 50M is like paying 80M tho.

chilly radar fwiw:




looks like he's better on direct attacks than possession play, and is a passive defender

sound about right, or more of a "just lester things"?

Fabrizio reporting we've reached an agreement for Gabriel Magalhaes from Lille. Going from David Luiz/Mustafi to Saliba/Magalhaes seems like a gigantic improvement and theyre barely older than Luiz combined.

Lot of Brazilian flare at the club now. Magalhaes, Willian, Luiz, Martinelli.

We demand Aouar, Casemiro and Camavinga. Also purge everyone of Antero Henrique signings.

Can’t help thinking Werner is going to be the new Morata. Goalfest for 2 months then dry. I pretty much said the same about Abraham last season.

I just cannot envision a scenario where Werner fails. He's too damn good. Unless maybe the miniscule chance that he hates England so much that he stages a home burglary Angel di Maria-style to get the hell out.

I don't really understand why Barca are so eager to terminate Suarez' contract. Who does Koeman think is going to replace his 21/11 goals and assists next year...Bas Dost? Surely he could either be more of a sub next season or they could dump him off to some Serie A club like Milan. Maybe his legs are gone and he can't really run anymore, but he doesn't need to do either of those things to absolutely curb stomp Italy.

In terms of greatest strikers Barca have ever had, he's at the very least top 2 imo.
