Yeah, this. Taking Beattie as the example, slightly younger then he was back in 1998.

I believe Everton are wearing a similar one too. Looks like it's as much a Hummel as club thing.

Delighted to get him in, but lets temper expectation. He looks excellent in the highlight reels but he will be a very raw talent, if he doesn't hit the ground immediately running he will need our support. He is a pup with an opportunity to find his way.

My, we will struggle this year. Had Ings stayed I would have argued we were stronger then last year, Bertrand going was a shame but his heart was no longer in it. Perraud looks promising and has something to prove. How we use the £25m or so from the sale will shape not just this season, but also our medium term future. However, Ings going does open up opportunities for Tella. This will be his break out season, if he can strike a good accord with Che and Theo then we have a chance. This will need to happen quickly mind, our lack of strength leaves every fixture looking like an uphill battle. A lot will also depend on other clubs. Newcastle and Palace could self destruct, the promoted teams need one or two to fail to get to grips with their new surroundings.

They are getting the mind control jab. Everyone else is getting the 'cull the f*cktards' jab. Keep up!

Leaving the pacey stuff to those around him and using his technical ability to keep things ticking. Promising.

Grealish money being redistributed quickly. Hope they paid through the nose.

Welcome Tino. May you justify that buy back clause with your performances.

Yeah, wondered this.

Always felt they were going for the Mugatu inspired 'dérélicte' look.

A stray fly landing in my venus fly trap.

Interesting that the conspiracy theorists say people who dissagree with them are afraid, when generally they start off as the ones looking for alternatives to allay their own fears and lack of understanding. Saw the pattern in some friends, they were deathly afraid of sending their children to school when the pandemic began, scared that cities in China were being laid waste with massive burial pyres and that the government was trying to pull the wool over their eyes over the scale of the threat the disease posed. Now, they have totally 180'd and consider it an excuse to destroy liberty in the name of the flu. Can't have it all ways kids.

True, but a big shame if the youth team of a club have been deaf to the situation.

Portsmouth Football Club, it would seem: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/57833838

What the f**k is happening!?

Why do ITV even bother?

Trying to imagine Rice and Phillips together against either of these sides.

First dodgy call of the tournament goes against Lovren. Hillarity ensues.

Shades of Schumacher and Battiston on Pavard there. Just a shade.

Really enjoying Hungary. Putting in a great shift, hope they can get Portugal with a sucker punch.

The Geckosaint kit. It showed that great design is corrupted by commercial need.

I am very far from religious but thank god he's seemingly ok.

Good news, we don't need three keepers of the same standard so some money back. Plus, he's going home. One of those rare transfers that makes sense for everyone.

Didn't he leave Burnley due to family issues? He seems to be tied to the south.

Is Adebayo Akinfenwa moonlighting as Obafemi's fitness coach?
