Phttt ... that's nothing, I've already booed him!

We still have Reddy Redders, the apple of Ralphs strudel!

I do agree, I think he's victim of Ralphs ultra rigidity. I'd have him back in a heartbeat. By definition the "automatisms" or whatever he calls them take away spontaneity, unpredictability and therefore excitement. Probably why Djeneppo has gone backwards, and Redmond gets picked every game, he does exactly what he's told even if he is completely unproductive. I think Bertrand may have had a dig to that effect in his parting statement.

I just don't have any confidence that we would re invest effectively.

I was thinking generally, how values have been affected, or not. My feeling is not much will change.

Lots of references and speculation about "current market" (covid affected values). Is there any indication so far that values are, or will be lower? I guess it's too early to know as nothing has really got moving yet. Anyone have any insights?

Agreed, and you have to bear in mind he has achieved all of that with some bang average at best players around him. Honestly could see him at somewhere like MU, Tottenham or Arsenal.

I doubt it, results don’t seem nearly as important to the England powers that be as a yes man who tows the line and says all the right things.

Have to say I disagree. By people do you mean swf posters?,Because the commentators were very complimentary, also apparently as are the wider England football fraternity according to others on here that keep an eye on that sort of thing

He was pure class, it seems like it’s only some of his own fan base take him for granted. I really hope we don’t lose him in the summer but I think we might.

I know, I’m watching it. But we aren’t as cohesive, they could have had a couple too.

He could

Gone a bit ragged since JWP went off, he seemed to be stitching it all together

Mings is really not very good. Excellent save btw

Yes, if he’d only yelled out “do ‘I’m” a couple of times he’d have been picked.

I've been saying that all along, its easy for the defenders to look like clowns when they are left exposed and in 2 on 1 situations, which happens an awful lot.

what about a cake sale? if everyone at SMS bakes a cake, sells it to the person next to them for £8300.00 ish, we are nearly there, I don't know why know no one else thought of it.

Then he speaketh the truth

I think they are trying to generate some interest, he could turn out to be a midfield dynamo. Or he could be the polar opposite, anyway, enough from me, I don’t want to get accused of causing static.

This will probably motivate him to want a move. Shame.

My initial comment was using hyperbole to emphasise my point that he in my opinion is overrated. I know he is a different level to Redmond, I just couldn’t be bothered to argue about on this beautiful day.

Pish posh

Sterling has to be the most overrated player of the current era, he isn’t that much better than Redmond

So is Ralph

Yes, didn’t want to take anything away from Chelsea, it was their night, I though both full backs and Kante were excellent which nullified City
