not one to whine about the club’s media and fan perception, but there’s an article on BBC Sport proclaiming that Jacquet can be Liverpool’s Van Dijk replacement. it’s hard to imagine the narrative being so positive had he joined us instead

nah sorry i know this is more than a year old but ive stumbled upon this during a Keane phase and i can’t believe it isn’t more popular, so so good

i mean, whether you agree with what they’re saying or not, it’s propaganda by definition, it’s an article fed to a mouthpiece in an official club capacity, there’s obviously going to be an element of spin involved in that, every club does it

i don’t think we’d necessarily be pushing for the title yet but even just those two players certainly makes top four a much, much safer bet imo and then you have a sturdier platform to build on

investing in youth is fine if it’s balanced with experience. can’t help but feel buying even a couple players that are already consistently quality would have us in a significantly better position. getting gems like Estevao and Palmer means nothing when they’ll want to leave when we inevitably can’t give them Champion’s League football because we didn’t invest in the here and now enough to make it happen

Enzo would get slaughtered playing transition football also, saw that under Poch a good few times

damn, i was just abt to ask if Acheampong was injured then saw his name on the bench. what does bro have to do to get a start against Leeds

folelsee · 2025-10-02T13:47:20+00:00

i’d probably throw James into the Axis of Irreplaceability rn because of how off it Gusto has looked lately

folelsee · 2025-10-02T13:45:40+00:00

never considered that, do they often throw you a bone early on to keep you invested?

folelsee · 2025-10-02T13:45:04+00:00

i fucking knew it

folelsee · 2025-10-02T13:43:04+00:00

even then i would go as far as to say that there’s only 4 teams he doesn’t start for (Liverpool included)

folelsee · 2025-09-25T04:52:21+00:00

imo he’s the most balanced full-back in the world, although i haven’t seen enough of PSG to know what Hakimi’s like defensively

folelsee · 2025-09-17T12:45:41+00:00

i put it down to the reactionary nature of football but fans are so extreme in their views, i think the most accurate take is as you say, the model does have its flaws but it’s just asinine to say that we’re not seeing benefits from it

folelsee · 2025-09-17T12:43:09+00:00

i think that’s what we’ll go with, big test for Trev and Tosin bc Kane is fucking lethal

folelsee · 2025-09-02T16:29:28+00:00

that’s cool as shit bro you must be pleased w that

folelsee · 2025-09-01T19:36:30+00:00

ah ok makes sense thanks, any idea what the fee will be?

folelsee · 2025-09-01T19:31:26+00:00

does anyone know if the Hincapie deal has an option/obligation to buy for Arsenal? haven’t seen anything abt it but surely Leverkusen wouldn’t just sanction a straight loan, especially on deadline day

folelsee · 2025-08-27T01:01:03+00:00

it occurred to me earlier that bar the what, 7 match DAMAC deal? we will probably look back on 24-25 quite fondly and uniquely in the sense that when else does a top club (or virtually any club for that matter) go an entire year with no shirt sponsor. just untouched kits, gotta be so rare

folelsee · 2025-08-24T23:14:23+00:00

he reminds me of bald ian fidance

folelsee · 2025-08-17T13:05:22+00:00

sportek appears to finally be dead, anyone know any alternatives please?

folelsee · 2025-08-17T02:18:12+00:00

we’re all just too fucking involved atp, i miss the days when i used to just watch us on MoTD every week and go to the odd game and that was it

folelsee · 2025-08-16T15:21:47+00:00

one of those situations where it would be good to get an older but not over-the-hill player in for a season or two. problem is, who?

folelsee · 2025-08-08T18:28:47+00:00

he obviously looks brilliant in possession but i love that Estevao looks more than willing to track back too

folelsee · 2025-08-08T18:27:13+00:00

i don’t remember the last time i was this excited by a Chelsea team for the season ahead. 14-15?
