Takes one to know one.
If it makes you upset you when people disagree with you maybe TFC is not for you?
And if you think 15 G/As in a season is not good maybe take up another sport that is easier to understand?

If we want Eze, it'll need to happen PDQ, as other teams are sniffing around Guihi. Him and Olise going will make them very comfortable financially.

You can't register Phillips i believe due to same issue with lack of club trained. Lets agree to disagree then: you prefer to be left short at CB, i on the other hand with current squad - at LB. Hopefully with emergence of young folks like Moore, Donley etc, we will not need to have those discussions in year or two anymore cause we will have more spota to register.
In Europe you are allowed 21 non club trained players in the squad.
Royal, Reggie. GLC, Solomon and Phillips make a current total of 26.
He won't be in the Euro squad but because he is U21 under EPL rules in theory we could use him for domestic games only.
That's unlikely so he will be loaned.

Even then you can’t fix 100% of errors. At least once this season every team will concede an unmarked goal from a set piece. Most likely more than once
Oh absolutely. I have no issue with Ange, Angeball or the way we play in general. When it clicks it's fucking beautiful, phenomenal and unstoppable. We saw that in those first ten games and sporadically in the other 28.

It gives up chances and even then, you will concede goals in football matches. Even set pieces. There isn't a defence in the planet immune to it.

My *personal* gripe is the refusal to work on defending set pieces and the sheer number of goals we started giving up with alarming regularity, or his "we don't change our approach to the opposition, mate" bollocks.

Because the opposition certainly change their approach to us. And then being stubborn and headstrong to your approach becomes predictable.

I want Ange here, and I want him to win things with us. He's got us playing exciting stuff again, which we'd kind of lost for 5 years. I just want him to consider being less obvious at times and perhaps actually try and work on not conceding so many goals from set plays. Not stop it altogether. That's impossible and unrealistic.
 
30/6/2025 - Forster, Whiteman, Davies, Reguilon, Lo Celso, Son, (Werner)
30/6/2026 - Royal, Bentancur, Bissouma
Contracts end.
AFAIK Son has already had his contract extended.
I expect an announcement of an extension for Ben will be made in due course.
Whiteman will surely leave.
I would not be shocked if we replaced Biss.
