    Welcome Ange: To Dare is to Didgeridoo

    Just like the 0-1 defeat against Arsenal didn't suddenly make us a terrible team (I believe they're statistically the best defence in the Prem so it's no surprise that they made us look toothless), so the 3-0 kicking of ManU doesn't make us world-beaters. I'm still concerned that Ange's system...

    Dejan Kulusevski

    It's weird. Kulu does lovely creative stuff full of deft touches yet manages to look like some sort of ungainly ginger clogger while doing so. I mean, the touch for his goal was stunning. The sort of thing that you see Bergkamp doing in compilations of great goals. But somehow, Kulusevski made...

    Brennan Johnson

    The thing is, he's rapid. While the MotD commentators may highlight Dalot not tracking him properly for the goal, There really aren't many defenders who could keep up with Johnson on that run. Couple that with VdV's blistering pace, and you've got a backline stretched beyond breaking point. If...

    Rodrigo Bentancur

    I f***ing love a boring shield in front of the defence!

    Welcome Ange: To Dare is to Didgeridoo

    Weird, compared to how it was all going this time last season. This sort of system will always go to pot if the players aren't busting a gut. Hopefully tonight will be the catalyst for some good times. I really think we just need a jammy goal or two to help us along.

    Ben Davies

    £5m off the next VDV? That's pretty much the point I was making. For every VDV, who comes in and looks like a world-beater immediately, you've got bunch of young foreign defenders who really don't. Davies is a known quantity -- for that sort of money, I'd rather keep him. Besides which, VDV...

    Ben Davies

    But could we? £5M for an experienced player guaranteed to fit into our squad, who knows how to handle the Prem and has an excellent attitude. And counts as partially homegrown. Doesn't sound so easy now. Sure, you can find a foreign player for that, or a youngster, or someone from the lower...

    Brennan Johnson

    Some players have the knack of making things happen when they come on as substitutes. It's not just being able to take advantage of tired legs -- it's also following the manager's instructions, but equally it can be reading the game from the bench well enough to figure out what you have to do.

    Dominic Solanke

    I'm just praying that he doesn't turn out to be another Darren Bent.

    Spurs v Hearts Friendly Weds 17 July at 7PM

    Elon is definitely a "member".

    Lucas Bergvall

    Popped in just to say this, having watched a couple of short highlights videos. His weight of pass is superb -- and that's how to open up a defence. Eriksen was superb at that. However, Bergvall was given so much space as Hearts barely pressed him. That won't happen in the Prem.

    Lucas Bergvall

    It's bloody amazing, but I can't have been paying attention as I really don't remember any significance to the number 15.

    Copa America 2024

    I went with some mates to the Nou Camp in 2012 as we decided we wanted to see Pep's great Barca team (incl. Messi) play before it was too late. It ended up being Pep's last home game, against Espanyol. They won 4-0 with Messi pretty much untouchable -- except for the two (maybe three) penalties...

    The transfer thread

    Definitely a good question. I just want a striker though. I really think that having someone to sit in the box and bang 'em in would turn us into title challengers. Werner isn't world class, but having him and Sonny (and Solomon) covering LW is good enough for me. On the right, Johnson should...

    The transfer thread

    I agree with all of that, except the Richi injury thing. He's had a terrible season with us, but hopefully he'll be luckier next time. I thought that Ange was going to turn Johnson into a striker, kind of like what Wenger did with Terry Henry -- move a quick winger with decent finishing into...

    Rough highlights of Prem teams' transfer windows

    A lot of people, myself included, thought £40m a pretty high price for a young CB who'd had a couple of seasons at one of the mid-table Bundesliga clubs and seemed to be doing fairly well but not making the headlines. I'd argue that £40m for a solid English 27yo CB with Prem experience (and 2...

    The transfer thread

    True. Toney has proved that he can score goals in the Premiership and, importantly, seems able to lead the line and rough up defenders. More so than Sonny has ever done. Possibly a mixture of Richarlison's physicality and Sonny's finishing. My big issue with him is that he seems to be a bit of...

    Excellent interview. Speaks well, seems grounded. Coming from a proper football family will help. Plus, he's got Modric legs!
