Sour Mash

Still doesn't make it irrelevant or not of interest. Not one person has suggested it should be the primary guide to a player's worth, so god knows what you're going on about.

That doesn't make it flawed.

That's not answering my question.

Why isn't shot conversion rate relevant? Depending on the situation of the game, one of Pellè or Long might be replaced by this player, so it is relevant.

I'd be happy with that, but you can already hear the wailing if we don't get Austin.

If he's comfortable anywhere in the front 3 of a 4-3-3, why would we necessarily need another striker?

Yes, the whole point of it will be one membership = opportunity to buy one ticket.

Mane is off to Bayern Munich and this is his replacement. Either that or just an additional option for the 50+ plus games we'll have this season. But I agree, not the obvious point of strengthening I'd have gone for, I'd still like a properly creative "No.10" type, guess there aren't too many Prem quality ones around at an affordable price.

There's meant to be further reports in the Spanish press today that we're very close to signing this lad?

Right, I'm still not sure what your point is though.

When they go off to join up with a terrorist organisation and take part in their activities, not exactly complicated is it. Not sure what language 'the authorities' use has to do with anything either.

Why would we be less likely to have injuries? Why do we really need them for some away games more than others.

What's your point? These people are terrorist scum, that's not really up for questioning. Weird tangent you're going off on.

What difference will that make?

I enjoyed that game, thought England dominated and would have won by a lot more with better finishing.

4 years ago Lallana had just been promoted with us from League One. The last couple of years they've both had loads of injuries.

I'd have played Walcott personally.

He was pretty poor in the last two England games he played and not great for us in a chunk of the 2nd half of the season.

It'll definitely look good on his cv. Just put that down to our success on the pitch, popularity of the Prem, not sure what he's done to make significant changes to our image abroad.

Townsend has been decent for England.

Clyne was poor in the last two England games he's played. No good reason for Gibbs being picked ahead of Bertrand though.

It's currently the case anyway, so don't see why it'd change.

I like the bloke, but have we see any evidence of increased global presence as a result of his work?

As we're writing and discussing in English, it'll be the English one obviously.
