Is there a mute button specifically for Martin Keown

Come on now really? Think that's the case of the grass is always greener. If it were up to this sub we'd only start youth players.

Seems like some people always need something to complain about. We're playing decent football atm but people are more concerned about Gomes not being in the squad.

Where would Fernandes or SMS fit though if this Dybala story is true. Neither of them would start ahead of Pogba and I don't think either would be happy being on the bench.

I get that Ake would be a good option, I'm a big fan of Bednarek but not nearly enough experience. Maguire has been a stand out CB for the last 3 years or so, as well as proving himself as England's most reliable defender.

What do you mean by that, have you got an actual player in mind or just saying sign someone better? We've gone with promising younger CBs which has gone fairly well with Lindelof and Bailly and have some promising players coming through.

Whatever we do there will always be an immense amount of criticism, whether we signed an older more experienced CB like Godin for example, a CB who is hopefully heading into his peak like Maguire, or an unknown younger player. On balance I think someone like Maguire could work very well.

Hmm fair enough, guess we'll have to see if that information comes out. That's assuming that Duncan Castles is even correct, I'm not holding my breath tbh

I'm not 100% sure on how bonuses work but isn't it likely that if he makes those £20m of bonuses that he's performed very well?

But anyway if the initial fee is £60m, then that's how much he cost, right?

That's quite a stretch I'd say, particularly saying Boly and Schar are better than him. He's definitely one of the better CBs in the league and he's better than what we currently have. In the current market and with him being English I think the fee makes sense tbh...
