Hopefully Stephens can be club captain and have a bit part role off the bench with someone else on the pitch being captain on the pitch (maybe JWP or Lallana LMAO). Alternatively bring back JWP and Lallana and make it a three way rotating captaincy!

Exactly. Personally I wouldn't be too sad if he did go but from his perspective why on Earth would he?

Last i looked the bookies had us 17th. So not the worst.

Loads of exciting links and signings last year. Then we got relegated and were shite. I'm up for a bit of pragmatism and unexciting but solid signings combined with a couple of big names from left field.

You can only really do so much to be fair. He wasn't exactly the type to get in a punch up with someone of the foreigners who don't give a shit. Very harsh to criticise him for lack of leadership when we don't know what was going on behind the scenes. Adam Blackmore was on a show earlier this week to say as much about us not knowing what goes on behind the scenes with a lot not reported.

I know it's not reliable, but someone claiming to be itk on twitter says that he would like to come back and is discussing it behind the scenes.

Bizarre. He is better than any other player we have and is proven in the prem unlike the vast majority of our players. Not average at all.

TBF it might make it significantly easier to do a deal if we still have some outstanding payments for him.

I know it won't happen but getting Downes and jwp for something like 50 million and then a decent striker would be incredible and I think we'd stay up.

It's not much of an argument. It's a fact.

Almost staggering in its incompetence like he's just given up and doing it on purpose. Literally the only thing that the tories may have had over Labour in this election is that they are more patriotic and he's fucked that as well. I thought the historic loss for the tories was slightly overstated but I'm not so sure now.

Same as all recent tournaments then.

That would be the whole of Palestine then which is the entire point. These barbaric terrorist monsters in Hamas are well practiced at hiding amongst the civilian population and effectively creating human shields for themselves. They don't give a shit about the people they endanger.

He said during the press conference that he can bring in other players should someone get injured tomorrow.

Agree with you. I'd have taken one of them at least. Everton fans spitting feathers that Branthwaite hasn't made it. I've no idea what he's like.

Agreed. Is jarrod bowen?

Seems absolutely crazy to lose Maddison and Grealish from the squad. Where is the bit of magic and creativity going to come from off the bench of we are struggling to break teams down? Southgate is so uninspiring.

To be fair, extrapolated over a season that's about 15 goals which is a decent return. I wouldn't be too upset if he came in.

Maybe he isn't playing in the next game whilst the others are and so have another chance to force themselves in?

I expect he was joking...

Looks like Lallana is signing. Just need Ramsdale to follow him and my itk status is secured.

I know it's probably due to who he is talking to, but I absolutely love that he thinks saints is the highlight of his career given that he won the Euros and the French league.

Agree. Delap may be alright as a backup striker if we get in another too attacker. I think how they fit into our system will be rather important.

To be honest I expect us to get a few youngster gems from other academies combined with some old heads and maybe a couple of big name signings. I'd be surprised if we got in too many lower league players who on the face of it won't be able to do it well enough at the top level.

They're depressed because they can't trust themselves and they're self loathing. I'm a bit confused though. Soggy has been calling me far right for a few years now yet on this issue I've been quite the Israeli supporter. Is the argument that I've pivoted to support them since October because it gives me a good excuse to hate the Muslims? Seems like a lot of mental gymnastics when I could just hate both at the same time.
