A classy player with a classy performance.

So fucking good when he plays on the front foot

lovely bit of play when PEH hit the bar. hes a bit of a beast when hes going direct with the ball at his feet.

 

[rhenkt]

What a fooking player. Single handedly dragging us through the last couple games.

 

[Airfixx]

Be ok, king! :contepray:

 

[AudereEstFacere]

All these players getting scared about missing out the WC and he’s doing sprints with an injury to celebrate with his teammates.

We honestly need more people with his grit and passion for the club.

Great to see and love the guy.

.....Compare to that £40m wet-wipe, Lo Celso. :contefacepalm2:

Honestly has been one of our best signings recently and to think how little he cost as well.

So happy to have him here and hope he goes on to have a successful career with us.

Him & PEH...... £32m for the pair.

We're such a weird club, the quality of signings is almost negatively correlated with the price.

It’s really odd with us.

I think most of our solid signings were fairly cheap and yet our record ones have been really poor.

I’m hoping with the back room overhaul, we make more astute signings over the next two windows.

I admit I was on the Bastoni train when we were linked but if we do get a CB/LCB who I don’t know much about, I’ll be more optimistic.

Who, funnily enough, got injured at the weekend and will now miss the World Cup.

Running out of words and gifs!

Players that come from Super League clubs have a decent hit rate. Where we've been repeatedly stung is big fees for players from second tier continental clubs (Sanchez, Lo Celso, Ndombele, Gil?), often a season after they had been sold previously. Homegrown players are so expensive that the flop rate is massive for most clubs in England.

But there is some interesting stuff in Soccernomics, which shows that the majority of transferred players under perform at their new club.

Selling those two makes no sense. But i keep forgetting you are only around for the likes. Idiot.

I think it's a second language issue.

Disagree. Sell them both in Jan for 32M

I think we sometimes forget that others around the world aren't as bigger bunch of sarcastic cunts as we are.

who are you replacing them with?

 

[Andersen]

Total price. Yes i get it
