Which is why I was surprised he didn’t go to WC... he could have easily played LWB or LCB (arguably better than young and rose). Fortunately for us (England) Maguire has looked class.

Sack of Stephens and bring this lad in. Don’t know much about him, but he looks like someone who can head the ball, which is something we lack. The lack of pace in our back 3 would be a concern, but our lack of ability to clear a cross is more concerning

Yes but they now have Sweden, not Brazil. Not smug, sensible.

A front 3 of: LW: elyounoussi CF: Austin/Gabbi RW: Shaqiri Would certainly cure our creativity / lack of goals issue. Do think we’re still lacking some pace, which is why I’d prefer sisto. He’s the closest thing to Mane we could realistically sign

Jack is ****. Massively overrated and a championship player, at best. Likewise with Targett. We need a big horrible c*nt at the back to win everything. Someone like Maguire (obviously no chance of that now...)

Similar to us going from Mane - Redmond.

S I S T O But you just know we wont replace him

Portugal won the euros by creating next to FA all tournament. They stuck in games and scraped through, much like us so far (Panama aside) For me, Rashford need to start, probably ahead of sterling (although lingard was poor tonight, IMO) and we need to bring in Loftus-Cheek. RLC, is the only CM in our squad that will pick the ball up, turn and run at people. Not sure Alli is fit as he’s been very poor, but that being said he didn’t have a great season all together IMO. I’m so glad we beat them today. Absolutely disgusting team. Never will we get a better chance of getting to the World Cup final, I’m still buzzing.

Almost as if, like a few who know what they’re talking about said, Les has ‘taken a back seat’...

He is the perfect fit in all honesty. Most hate him for his comments whilst at Liverpool, which with hindsight were correct but at the time did seem a bit arrogant.

Bang on IMO.

He’s clearly a talented player, you’d be stupid to suggest otherwise. Wether he’s suited to the PL/English football is another argument and on the balance of things you’d have to say no. However, he’s played under arguably our 2 worst/most defensive managers in recent times and IMO puel / Pell stunted any ability from our attacking players. All in all, from what I’ve heard he’s actually a decent lad as well. I hope Hughes gives him a second chance. The thought of an on form Boufal with someone similar the other side is pretty exciting. If he does stay, really is time for him to step up.

Roma have just signed Pastore. Can’t see them wanting/needed them both. Anyhow, not convinced Ziyech is what we need and would be a bit of a luxury player. Would much prefer someone with a bit of pace to play on the right wing as well as this Norwegian bloke.

The player we should have signed instead of Armstrong, imo.

Agree. Thursday could be a very boring game.

His knee’s are in a worse shape than Austin’s. He’s exactly what we don’t need for the wage he’d want.

Years of complacency, arrogance and lack of ambition. Wolves a club on the rise, Southampton a club on the down fall.

When you apparently need to sell to buy, it is.

I’d like them both

To me he looks like a Steven Davis replacement. Pretty average player however, imo. Money would certainly be better spent elsewhere.

It would sum up our club.

Don’t sell Tadic and sign this lad up ASAP. Apparently Newcastle want £20m for him, which is a steal when you consider that’s what we paid for Carrillo.

Tend to agree. However looking at how Maguire and Keane have developed I’m reluctant to write him off, just yet.

Hahahaha you’re clueless buddy. Providing his wages are reasonable, every club outside the top 7 would take him. He was dramatically improve us and would be a great signing.

You what???? 2 of the clearest pens you will ever see. I’m a fan of VAR, but it’s only as good as the person using it and tonight it seems that whoever is using it doesn’t want England to score. Disgraceful really.
