I bet you there’s many more Chelsea academy footballers playing top level football than Saints ones right now. You are wildly neglecting the benefits of that move just because your mind and slightly rose tinted glasses are telling you ‘left Saints and hasn’t gone straight into the first team elsewhere = bad move”

You need to learn how stories like this are really released. Clue: The Athletic weren’t the only one who ran with it.

He will start 😂 They have two quality FB’s. He’ll get more than enough game time there.

He’ll be a very welcomed versatile player who can play on both sides which will be needed with European football. Great move for him imo and fits the way they are trying to play really well, whether it be inverted from the left or as a right back.

KWP to Spurs transfers rumours hotting up. Probably one of the more obvious transfers for the summer. Ticks pretty much every single box needed for Spurs.

Not sure that’s fair on West Ham fans. They don’t play down the success they’ve had under Moyes but if you spoke to any match going West Ham they’d tell you the football is terrible to watch and domestically the results are increasingly getting worse. I think they want to enjoy their weekly football experience rather than unrealistic expectations.

Go on…

Yes. Because the most important part of the game in these kind of games is the end, so I’d like us to be in a position where we would be strong at the crunch part of the game. Stewart simply will not start and end a game, so if AA down the middle is terrible and Adams is out then Mara it should be to get us through the cagiest parts of the game.

I actually do agree fwiw, Armstrong down the middle is the best plan B. I was just being facetious based on the guy also saying both Mara and AA down the middle were terrible options.

2 of these hopefully next 3 games could last 120 minutes. If Mara is such a terrible option, and Adams is out, the best thing would be to start Mara so that you can bring him off when it gets crucial and possibly extended. I’m sure you don’t want to be in a position of needing a goal and having only him to bring on.

It's weird how the penny still hasn't quite dropped for how rubbish you’ve been since Martin left and under Williams specifically. Etc etc.

Still amazes me people still trot out this line. Not just because people rarely actually name a realistic name that fits that criteria but even more so considering the final league positions and the managers experience.

No way Stewart should be starting any of these games. He’s not playing any more than an hour presumably so considering his only purpose right now is to nick a goal then he should be held back and be on the pitch at the end of the game if needed rather than having to take him off at any stage.

He'd just captained a club who got relegated, nobody is becoming a club legend from that squad. The idea he should be prioritising becoming a club legend is genuinely insane, who do you think we are ffs? Footballers want to compete as high as they can and be successful, not become club legends for not leaving a club in the Championship.

Trying to better himself at the age of 28. Such a dick.
