The question was would you buy Guehi if it meant going without a RW. WE DID NEITHER

Miley too. Aye. 6 CMs for 2 or 3 spaces is more well stocked than our RW position 👍

Easy excuse. - We had £50m+ available for Guehi this Summer - We've spent £15m on a striker who never gets a game - £40m on Barnes to warm the bench - £55m on Tonali when we were reasonably well stocked in CM - Massive wages on a 4th choice CB from Bournemouth - We could have pushed the boat out to include Elanga in the Anderson deal instead of spunking £20m on a 3rd choice keeper. There have been plenty of opportunities to upgrade the RW spot. It was far from a priority 3 years ago, I agree. But it's now literally the only position in the starting XI we haven't strengthened and it's glaringly obvious.

I posed the question iirc I still think buying 2 x £40m left wingers and no right wingers has been one of our biggest missteps in the transfer window

Barnes' biggest strength is cutting in on his right foot and getting a shot off. Play him on the right and you remove that from his game. Murphy and Almiron offer more defensively which is why Howe favours them on the right. The biggest question is how the fuck, 6 transfer windows after the takeover, do we still have Almiron and Murphy as our only RW options?

For the Tories. They bring in the thick, racist working class votes

We could have 90mins of added time today and we still wouldn't score

It might be an unpopular opinion, but Willock has done fuck all of note since his initial 6 month loan here

Welbeck, one chance one goal ffs

Just not good enough

Surely their luck can't last for another 30mins

I feel like punching a hole in the telly

And a £15m striker they don't trust

Fans getting up for it now. Get Barnes on for 2 late goals

City game aside, we've either won games playing shit or lost games playing well this season

You can add Dorries and Anderson to that list. Useful idiots but they will never be accepted as true Conservatives

He's 21, of course he's not starting ahead of Bruno and Tonali. But it's already clear he's a technically better player than Longstaff

It's a shambles. Relegated last season, 90% of the squad left because we offered them peanuts, Nobby sacked after 6 games, matchday volunteers now boycotting the club so games are getting postponed. The owner is nowhere to be seen. I called it on day one. He sold himself as a self made millionaire. His companies house record shows he's a grifter with no money behind him

That's no dig at Gordon btw. It's just that's the one area of the pitch we have 2 x "purple players" and I suspect we will really regret selling Anderson and Minteh in a few years.

I don't disagree with the post suggesting that selling Gordon in the Summer (when we already have his replacement in Barnes), keeping Minteh/Anderson and possibly freeing up funds for other players wouldn't have been the worst outcome in hindsight

I see the new owner has driven the club into the ground and is trying to sell again within 6 months

Aye, but 15 of those innings were before his injury!

Nice, but I imagine the payments could get you a mortgage on a small house?

Stokes not in great form with the bat atm. Just looking at his recent games for club and country and he's not scored higher than 2 in 50% of his last 16 innings.
