How bad must those players be!

Those pitch side monitors are the most pointless invention ever.

Also must be so demoralising for the players he actually called up.

England lucky to be on 4 points rather than 2 heading into Slovenia game. felt before tournament England had missed chance to win a tournament. alexander Arnold as a cm is diabolically bad.

Tierney hamstrings seem to be made of glass.

Time to bring Yoshida back in as a player/coach to help him settle in.

Loved seeing mbappe getting booked for coming back on pitch. hated Swiss player getting booked for winning 50/50 with keeper. Not least for double standards as to what it is ok to do to an outfield player.

Prefer us to look at teams that didn’t make euros. Paying a premium for post euro/wc players tends to be an awful idea.

Awful handball decision imo. It brushes his hand but decision completely ignores context of him getting shoved beforehand by the defender.

Not just wages, there's the big whacking transfer fee, most likely on someone who you are gambling will be able to cut it at this level based on zero experience of the prem.

Che has a history of scoring 8-10 goals a season in the prem. Still relatively young too. So i can completely why the club would prefer to retain him If they lose him i'm sure they would focus budget spending to replace him. That's not to say spending big would guarantee a decent number 9.

I don't necessarily hate the idea of ings. Depends what the deal is (is it a loan/minimal fee type thing)

Why are we loaning players for the u21's. Seems a complete waste of a development spot.

Steele was a big surprise story, how he went from journeyman backup to playing in the prem. Last season seemed more of a struggle. Guess i can see some logic of veteran/used to passing style if he's a cheap Mccarthy replacement/Bazanu standin, though wouldn't be my first preference.

Been a good player for us, very good value for the fee we paid. Sad as it is to see him leave, its probably the right time to part ways.

would be a crazily stupid and lazy idea to run it back. most likely result would be deadline panic after a poor start. There’s loans/free agent routes to go down if they want to avoid paying a big fee whilst bringing in competition / initial starter

Hopefully if we're struggling again this January that window will remind the club what an awful idea it is to try and spend big money in January.

There’s every reason he wouldn’t outside of playing championship manager

I’m curious as to calibre of player we can attract. My gut feeling is that many including tierney would have zero interest in joining a team that be considered a relegation candidate.

We''re not going to get £50M for those. Most if they leave would likely end up being loans.

Yeah I don’t get the appeal of Perraud. A very average left back with not much pace.

He might not but he's worth having a look at as he is an extremely talented player who's played for Germany.

If Bella kotchap can contribute I’d happily see him back. Seems very much a cut your nose off to spite your face attitude to want him gone at all costs.

I'm curious is there a reason why they had Saints buy him, rather than Goztepe?

Talking about what he was at Leeds seems a bit pointless. Like saying Danny drinkwater was good at Leicester.
