He is total shite

Not exactly the most concrete link ever. I think I'd much prefer Karlsson, Kent has proven himself to be quite ordinary.

Che Adams league mins in 21-22 - 2,041 Michail Antonio league mins in 21-22 - 2,979 Antonio is on about £100k/week right now, he's always said how much he loves West Ham - it's not evidence, but it's enough to say he's not coming back here.

Nick Pope and Dean Henderson available and we go for Angus Gunn v2, christ

Works out about right, considering Antonio played about 1000 minutes more in a much better side. He's no better a finisher than Che, for me. He seems quite happy to ride the bench at West Ham as well.

Ruben Selles is clearly being groomed for the top job from what I've heard. Quite why SR seem so insistent on reinventing the wheel and making themselves look clever at every turn, I don't know.

Shite. I don't know what you're watching if you're taking positives from that.

Too similar to Che imo. Can't finish but brilliant at bringing others into play or carving out a chance for himself.

This is a much more reliable source and it has him at about £21,000-a-week. Which is still fucking ridiculous.

I'd rather we just committed to working on more realistic Championship / fringe European league targets who can come in the first week of January, rather than hang our hopes on Boufal/Ramirez/Gakpo/Ramos types who either come with an injury and take ages to get going or just don't come at all.

I'm actually coming around to the idea of Chris Wood. Can't the World Cup stay on forever?

Who do we fancy from Juventus then?

This link should work.

My point is that these guys don't seem aware of that fact. They're talking about these young players taking us to the top ten while, as you say, we sit in the bottom three. They're also playing down the failure to sign a striker by saying "wow, we signed a lot of really good players".

More smoke up their own arse. I hate the term sleepwalking to relegation, but...

Promising first 20 minutes in terms of hard running and activity in their half, but ultimately a false dawn. Could have been worse, but all the signs are there. A passive midfield, shocking defending, shocking goalkeeping - and an utter waste of space in AA.

Adam Armstrong is a waste of fucking skin

We really do have an awful squad. How have we spent tens of millions and gone backwards

Bazunu has let in 7.1 more goals than is expected of him through FBRef's post-shot expected goals metric. Yes, that is the worst in the league. The metric disregards external factors like the defence in front of him. It just focuses on the quality of the opponent's shot and his likelihood of saving it. Pickford, Kepa, and Alisson all at the top of the charts so that lines up with the eye test, and I've not been that impressed with Bazunu's shot-stopping at all. Sunday was perhaps the worst example.

Sounds like a class A freak

Half season tickets flying off the shelves as we speak

RWB, yes

For me: Baz Lyanco - Duje - Salisu AMN - JWP - Diallo - Perraud Stu - Elyounoussi Che

Good to hear the club actually taking action. Had a few kids whooping with joy around me but whatever, they're just kids. Hopefully they can manage to come up with a way to stamp this thing out at source.

Hopefully Semmens is on his way out, along with Toby Steele. Their comments at the fans forum really rubbed me the wrong way so hopefully SR can get someone in who is on the same page as the fans, at the very least.
