AFAIK it mainly helps stimulate blood flow, but also maintains & protects muscle...NBA players get a lot of whack on the arm, and obviously they put a lot of pressure on their elbows/forearms/wrists.

I use compression shorts and socks for my trail running and I honestly can tell the difference when I'm wearing them.

First time I mentioned on here that he had attitude problems - dodgy entourage, too many nights spent clubbing, guy's a smoker etc...without forgetting that scandal he had hanging over him when he joined - I got a ton of abuse thrown at my face by his army of fans.

Guy's an expensive cunt who's had 8-10 good
games in a Spurs shirt. And now this. He owes us a friggin lot and got a long way to go to earn our respect.

Johnson is great against teams who leave space in behind,

The top teams are the one's you'll get space in behind against unlike the majority who sit deep, of his famous 5 goals and 10 assists the only one against a top team was against City.


or when you’re winning,
So when the team has already done the job to be ahead and leading he becomes a useful player does he?


or against tiring legs.
As a substitute and not a starter.

But against teams that are very compact or don’t leave much space then a different player is useful."

So against the majority of teams we'll face he's not useful.

What exactly has made him look silly?

Impressive post, if you’re not bothered about fact checking.

Liverpool and Villa not top teams who leave space in behind? scored/assisted against Palace with Glasner and Brighton too.

Of course he scores at a lower rate against the top teams though because everyone does… they’re harder to score against.

Being a threat on the break when we’re winning is a useful quality. I don’t know why you are trying to downplay that? You know that being ahead in a game does not guarantee that you win it? It helps defensively too if the other team has to be more cautious.

And yes - I’ve been very clear that Johnson should be a rotation option and that means being on the bench for many games. That is how quality squads work.

You’re working very hard to attack one of our players. Keep going. I’ll give our youth time.

He doesn’t want to leave and doesn’t have an agent currently.

Isn't the issue that Lamine Yamal is now looking to be Barcelona's best right winger and Barcelona is now looking to raise cash (as they are broke) with one likely move the sale of Raphina

Sure Raphina hasn't had an agent for about a year when Deco (now Barcelona's Sporting Director ) resigned as agent, but if Barcelona want him to move he could easily find an agent ........ and Raphina might not want to stay and play 2nd fiddle to Yamal with the lower game time Raphina likely to have at Barcelona.

In all honesty, if we can't get the right winger we need this summer and want to give it another year to weigh up who's the best pick, we could do alot worse than getting someone like Raphinha on loan.

Allows Moore another year to develop too and see how that goes.

Not ideal but he's definitely better than what we have and he's a chance creating machine.

He started against Liverpool and assisted when we were 4-0 down, impressive.
The Villa goal, you can have on the house.
Palace and Brighton are top teams now are they?

Given your generous definition of what top teams are I don't know what the normal rate is.

I asked you point blank, does he use his one attribute in a way which helps the team by forcing the opposition to drop deeper to respect his pace by making runs in behind, the fact you haven't answered that and instead are claiming he's a threat on the break when we're already winning tells me all I need to know.

He's a rotation open? If that is how you view him then fair enough. I thought you saw him as a starter which would make sense given how much you respect his G + A output.

So will I, pretty sure that doesn't include a 23 year old bought for £50M but each to their own.

Yusuf Yazici.

Very good technically, can score goals and cracking ones at that. But also very streaky, undisciplined, lazy...

Lille twice sent him out on loan, so they're not that enamored with him. Neither were the two clubs where he went on loan, including one from Turkey.

So thanks but no thanks.

If we’re going Turkish, then Yilmaz is a busy dribble right winger no?

They keep spending us under the table. I think that's what he meant. FFP etc hasn't held them back and they haven't had any restrictions or deducted points.

And why is that? They have spent over a billion!
They get around it by signing these players to loooong contracts and spreading the cost over a number of years. The problem is they are stuck with players that are on high wages and not performing ala Mudryk.
They have a fair amount of highly paid deadwood, and if players don’t improve no one wants to buy them.
Then they are forced to sell homegrown talent like Gallagher. Love or hate ENIC/Levi they run things better than Chelsea since Boehly took over.
