    Dominic Solanke

    Is there any news on the severity of the injury? I understand the frustration if we’re talking more months out but if it’s a tweak then he’s back in a couple of weeks.

    Roberto De Zerbi *OFFICIAL*

    The question was whether players spoke highly of Frank upon joining; someone said they didn’t think that was the case, I thought Frank deserved the props for Gallagher at least saying positive things when he joined. It’s different for example to when Porro was interviewed after the Liverpool...

    Roberto De Zerbi *OFFICIAL*

    I think I remember Connor Gallagher saying that Frank would be the perfect manager for him. Which I find really interesting. There’s every chance Connor meant it sincerely and it wasn’t just a media commitment thing. But at the point he joined he must know some of the players who would have...

    Antonin Kinsky

    Yeah, are we talking about the Enzo goal? Obviously he got one over Pickford in the World Cup too, and I think Pickford is generally considered to be a good shot stopper. I’m not too concerned that Kinsky has a weakness to long rangers any more than anyone else to be honest. If there’s enough...

    Antonin Kinsky

    I do agree with you on your point around how OTT it was. I think there was a desperation to make this like the Karius situation in the media, but actually, Kinsky just slipped. It would be very easy to compartmentalise - especially if you have a strong foundational confidence - that it wasn’t...

    Elite mentality. We’re lucky to have him. And hats off to Lange for getting him.

    Andy Robertson

    Yeah, I’m very happy with the signing, and only saw highlights, but it seemed like he was way of it. Hopefully he’s getting it out of his system.

    Roberto De Zerbi *OFFICIAL*

    Yeah, I think the key with the Lewis kids is, do we end up in a situation that Saudi Sportswashing Machine are in now, at some point, because our power in the market was predicated by their willingness to spend? Because if that’s all it is, then it would prove Levy right. What I hope, is that we are in the...

    Mathys Tel

    We are a club that top prospects would join because they think they’re gonna get the game time to develop into a top player. Tel’s stats like everyone else’s last season were poor. He was also severely under utilised and when he did play, it was in a terrible team. I think he’s going to show...

    Mathys Tel

    Yeah, I agree with you. Absent yet another historic injury crisis, I think 6th is the minimum and I’d be disappointed if we don’t do that. I thought it last year too. With the benefit of hindsight we can see that our squad had fallen relative to the league a bit so maybe 8th was our level...

    Savinho

    Would really like this signing. Him plus a top striker and it’s been a frankly ridiculous window.

    Micky van de Ven

    I’m with you, I’m very happy we’re moving on Romero and betting on Micky. I think he’ll show how good he is again in DZ’s system,

    Micky van de Ven

    Because it’s not also just about tactics. It’s also about selection, fitness, confidence, form etc. No tactic is inherently good or bad in isolation. The fact that we conceded a similar amount of goals playing two widely different styles proves it.

    Micky van de Ven

    It just isn’t 99% of the job when playing in a high line though. He still has to do a bit of it, and he showed in the Europa League final he could be effective doing it, but in general playing in a high line brings the best out of him. And I think there’s a difference between the team falling...

    Micky van de Ven

    If you’re a high line manager I think he’s as close to the top as you’re likely to get. He looks like an absolute monster in a high line. He looks average as a box defender.

    Micky van de Ven

    I genuinely don’t think it was effort so much as a complete lack of of confidence. And then the lack of confidence led to stress about the relegation scenario. Which led to even lower confidence.

    Doesn’t sound like Micky has much time for the previous gaffer. 😳

    Challenger Clubs vs The Big Six

    This is what I find interesting, is that Villa fans seem to genuinely believe that it isn’t possible for them. Either because of the Birmingham location or something else. And then they look on us for being lucky, and annoyed that we’re able to spend so much on transfers and meet SCR because Bad...

    Challenger Clubs vs The Big Six

    Yeah, Villa fans are definitely mad at the regulations, but they seem to weirdly have reserved a special place of hatred for us, equating ‘hosting Beyonce’ with getting bought by oil money. Our version of being lucky is that we’re in London, and can host concerns and the boxing, apparently...

    Challenger Clubs vs The Big Six

    I’ve been meaning to start a thread on this, because I’m interested in the debate. I had assumed that ‘The other 14’ would actually look at Spurs as an example, and be happy for us to some degree that we built our financial power over the course of a decade plus, executing an extremely complex...
