Yeah means fuck all. Starting Eze represents their best chance of getting 3 points. If it's not a done deal, they have every right to start him. The fact that he's not being an entitled little dickhead like Isak and downing tools trying to force a move is also a tick in the box for me.

Nothing to see here. I'm sure it'll still get done.

Exactly. Hope he does play and helps them take points off the Chavs!

Deal will get done this week either way. Super confident on that
 
These aggregators are such twats.

However, it wouldn’t surprise me if he does play. He’s still their player, their manager and club want to win games, he seems professional enough and no deal is done.

If he does then unless he gets badly injured, it really has no bearing on whether he comes or not. For all we know, it’s agreed now for him to come but they want him to play today regardless.

Looking forward to the meltdown either way.
 
Assuming we get the 2/3 players we are heavily linked with, I think Solanke needs to deliver in a way I am unsure he can.

Richarlison currently has the shirt.
I think Frank will want the 9 between the posts looking for goals. Solanke did far too much wasted pressing and chasing last season, Richy was fairly quiet yesterday at that but focused on his box work. Solanke needs to do the same, the wide players can close the gaps and shut down space
 
On Eze, I think he might be an even better fit than MGW because of his smile. The club has just lost a pretty special bloke when it comes too EQ. I feel like we have a few characters that do better around guys able lift their spirits. Read Sarrs goodbye post to Sonny and you see what a fulcrum for that dressing room he was. Think Eze can help with this.
This is the point that I was going to make, Eze just seems to be a genuinely nice guy, very much like Sonny and could at least fill this role in the dressing room (and maybe eventually in our hearts 😢🥰 - thanks for the amazing memories Sonny!!)

Angeball.

Watch what Dom played like under Iraola.

Point well made.

Without question Solanke will get his chance to impress and find goals.

We really need 17 - 22 from him for the season. All games.
 
Eze or ezn't he?

I meant the emotional manipulation of the coverage, not the player starting.

IMO means nothing either way. The deal was never getting announced on game day

Just an observation, not intentional pedantry…

But when did match day become game day? I always associated “game day” with American football.
