Re buttons - Admin Admin can we not just have a thumbs up, thumbs down, laughing and wtf-type emoticon? Maybe something too for when you're in between as our own Kane said?

Tick & X feel redundant.

Some of the takes on Son are unbelievable. Off the back of a season with 17 goals and 10 assists suddenly he is worse than Toney and off form because he missed a couple of chances in pre-season.

He's very, very patchy. Most of those goals and assists probably came in a block of games and then there were long spells where he did neither.
He'll have a game where he gets a hat trick then one where he's lucky to touch the ball 3 useful times.
 
Agreed, nice place to live, good club,

please for him.
You've obviously never lived there. Even their players, despite living in the fancy parts and having security & all that, how many got their houses broken into, their families held at gunpoint etc...it's a mad, mad city.

As for the club, their president is one of the most inept in the history of OM...and French football. But he sure is one of its biggest crooks. True Marseille fans absolutely hate his guts. And it's common knowledge that the local mafia has its say in how the club is run, who does what etc.
 
It’s whether Richarlison sees it as an opportunity to set his entire family up for generations to come.

That’s the only reason I might seeing him being interested.
My other theory is that it’s dawning on him that his body is failing him with injuries and this is an opportunity to cash in. Also, if he signs a 4-year deal he could be back in Europe before he’s 30 as they don’t seem adverse to letting players leave once they’ve lost their shiny new toy feeling.

This is revisionism. He was actually incredible for 90% of of his matches before going to the Asian Cup. When he got back he looked physically and emotionally spent, as is only natural for someone who the domestic and international football calendar asks too much of.
 
Sell Richy for 60, buy Gyok for 60 + 10-20 in perf-related bonuses. Even if/when you end up paying the whole 80 for the big Swede, really he's only cost you 20 mil...wages will be lower than Richy's too.

20 bags for him, the way he played for Sporting last year, the way he looks perfect for Ange's system? No brainer in my books.

Would send a massive signal to the squad too. They’d all understand this time the club is serious.
