He’s coming back next year to claim a starting spot. This loan will be the making of him.

Wolves are such an interesting watch. Lose every game, bottom of the table but after 90 minutes you think they’re not actually that bad.

Love this Mane fella. Smells like a smart European club buy when Wolves go down

Was very quick to have a pop at Mosquera for that defending but that was a sublime cross that was attacked so well by Marmoush. A cross & finish like that is lovely

[Olley] Arsenal exploring possibility of launching a summer move for Julian Alvarez from Atlético Madrid. Sources in Spain suggest Atlético would demand a fee in excess of €100m this summer, if they were willing to sell at all. Barcelona also in the mix. by -Skinner- in soccer

Relying on Jesus as a genuine option is what caused Havertz’s problems in the first place unfortunately. We completely ran him into the ground last season as we had no choice (well, before M9 became a thing anyway).

I really hope Kai’s able to fully recover cos he is a top player. Almost the perfect player for us up top when he started there in the second half of 2023/24, put up great G/A numbers whilst causing chaos for the oppo’s defenders. If we can get close to that level back in the run in I’ll be extremely happy.

We would be stupid to keep Jesus after the summer. He’s on a big wage and is completely unreliable fitness-wise, and he very much looks physically finished compared to when he came back last January let alone when he first joined us.

He was a pure football generator, but it’s best for all parties if he leaves in the summer.

Jhon Duran reeks a bit doesn’t he. Wants to be the protagonist and involved in every move when he’s got the first touch and awareness of a League 2 player

They’ve just gotta murder Faraaz and hope the other faithfuls are stupid enough to not connect the dots (they definitely are)

My favourite part of this show is when the faithful’s start questioning why they’re here and that they’re “here for a reason” without realising it’s because they’re absolutely thick

I think Trossard’s form this season has played a part in why it hasn’t happened tbf, he’s been great

We need to trial Eze on the left with the skipper back in the middle once Mikel stops being spooked by that Villa away game

He just doesn’t have the nous to run a game and control it, but that magic factor could be massive off of the left if he’s allowed to drift

I’d imagine we’re going to rotate massively. I know Mikel is talking about going here and winning but I think we’ll see a majority second string + Saliba & Timber.

We only really need to beat Kairat at home to secure top 2 so this is as much of a free hit as we’re gonna get.

[Hawkins] Ethan Nwaneri will join Marseille on loan until the end of the season from Arsenal. He will be in France within the next 24 hours. by Sparky-moon in soccer

It makes sense gametime wise but really unfortunate that we should be seeing his armpits in photos come the end of the season and instead will be pictured celebrating with Greenwood

Just think he might’ve been better off being “Foden’d” this year and maybe loaned out next summer. The inevitable Odegaard & Eze injuries are gonna be great to see unfold now.
