I reckon Bellamy has made Brennan cry on International duty at least once.
I wish he had a fraction of that dirty bastard competitiveness.

Ridiculous amount would imply in the 10s or 20s, which is simply not true. Did he have some howlers? Yeah. But how many times did he save our bacon and single-handedly earned us vital points, uh? There are so many players who deserve the blame before Hugo does.
Fact of the matter is that he was a liability for a couple of years and we held onto him too long. And his last season he was a catastrophe. I loved Hugo, but God, he was a disaster at the end. Every game was something daft.
I'm hoping we don't do the same with Vic. I never made a comparison between the two other than that.
Let me have your email address and i will send you a membership card. In the meantime use the one below.
I actually think they are quite similar. Both superb shotstoppers, but both had holes in their games - Vic with crosses and general frenetic jumpiness, Lloris with diabolical kicking and some decision making.
This is the crux of the matter and the issue of a very good player being kept from regular appearances for his club over a season, and this one especially with the WC coming up soon.
Ancelotti will want players who have played consistently, and it will be interesting to see how Richarlison handles his fitness this season.
We won't be moving for Eze, if that was out intention he would have been brought in before MGW.
Levy wouldn't stump up the 60mil up front, no way. In fact no club appears to be prepared to do that.
This is probably Eze's people trying to to get Arse to move quicker.
Can't speak for everyone, but my issue is that he can't trap a ball, can't dribble with it, can't pass it, creates nothing for anyone else, doesn't track back properly or press properly, and though he does score tap ins, he doesn't score enough of them to make up for being shit at everything else.
You know how we know it is the agent and not a source within Spurs?
If it were a source within Spurs, it would say something like, “they are evaluating whether to monitor Eze” or “they are considering monitoring Eze’s situation.”
Without the key words like “evaluating”, “considering” or “monitoring” you know it’s bullshit.
9/10 I’d agree but I do think we’ve got a random chance of doing it.
On top of everything else, Johnson’s actual ball striking is pretty poor for a supposed lethal finisher. He gets into good positions but I cannot remember the last time I saw him score an actually difficult goal. Basically all of his goals are easy-ish chances. He’s not a lethal finisher or anything like that and in fact he often scuffs the ball from those positions.
In fact he’s the opposite of lethal. He underperformed his xG by 5.5 goals the past two seasons in the Premier League.
All goals count equal of course but if your only threat is running into the box and your end product, you have to be a gunman, like Defoe, able to finish difficult chances… he’s just above wasteful, an average finisher.
I'm not a fan of Johnson, and the above is true, but some credit should be given for his quick movement to get into the right place at the right time. Solanke is a far better footballer but doesn't have that.
Who decided that this random twitter account was 'tier 1'?
Silly season is so stupid.
1/10 evidently
I’d take a team of solankes over a team of Johnsons. Good all around players make things easier for teammates.
The solankes wouldnt score at a high rate but would generate so many chances that goals would come.
The Johnsons wouldn’t be able to even reach the opposition box. They’d maybe get a long ball goal every so often but they’d be permanently against the run of play.
If BJ gets better at areas besides scoring, he could become a winning player, but I haven’t seen it yet. I’ll be cheering for him to do well this season but I’d prefer he not be on the pitch often because from my experience, he’s a miserable watch.
