Not often we will rotate 9 players in the league though. Though I guess it's about as likely as all of those players getting injured.

Romero, van de Ven, Maddison and Bissouma are the players we can't get afford to get injured this season. Annoyingly, Romero tends to get a suspension or two. Maddison and Bissouma have shown to be a bit injury ridden in previous seasons and Bissouma will also be heading to the AFCON at some point.

I understand, but I don't think the fluidity of our football is down to one or two players as much as the whole team suddenly having a level of quality in possession that we've so badly lacked for years.

Any player you add to that mix who isn't on that level is going to hurt you. The network starts shutting down.

If any of our rivals were buying Brennan Johnson for 50m you'd all be pissing your sides and everybody on here, including the people in favour of the signing, know this to be an absolute, undeniable fact.

I was laughing my ass off when Newcastle bought Anthony Gordon for 45m, and he turned out decent. I don't really like Johnson, but it's clear that a lot of scouting deparments rate him, and that's what HG players cost. So far we've been unwilling to pay HG prices, that's why our HG players outside of Maddison are a bit shit.

Jeeesus; you're a sad, sad, tragic little boy.

You quit the club crying at the end of last season saying you were finished.... Now you return at the end of the trf window seeking to cope with a few pathetic gifs that prove that, for no good reason, I must have been living rent free in your head for your entire summer 'off' ????????

Fucking hell. State of you. Truly pathetic.

I think Udogie is just as key, which is surprising considering his short time with us.

But he runs that left flank. Presses, does the inverted drift inside, attacks and doesn’t give up the ball.

If he’s injured much of our attacking play will be gone.

I rate Udogie very high. Probably the only generational talent we have in the squad.

And whilst I think we lose his dynamism if he is out, I think Davies coming in for a game or two wouldn't be the end of the world if we have Bissouma, Maddison, van de Ven etc all round him.

Whereas the drop in creativity when we lose Maddison, the press resistance we lose without Bissouma etc. we'd feel far greater.
