On the head… hopefully not just Richarlison contributing to our headed goal output next season.

I had only mentioned it because it's been a fairly long standing rumour since before January and there hadn't been any form of response to it. He's had bigger fish to fry I suppose.

I just can’t see him being someone who’d have any interest in life under an oppressive regime. He seems too intelligent and sensitive to me.

A lot of people questioned if Klopp and even Pep could do it in England.

Those people were stupid and probably never really watched anything but the Premier League.

I like Ange a lot but his pedigree is no way comparable either Pep or Klopp before they came to the PL. I know you weren't comparing but it's a pointless comparison to be completely honest.

Bit like those, “Ange gained more points in his first season than Pep, Klopp and Arteta.” Means nothing.

Vague speculation linking us with Guirassy of Stuttgart/Guinea striker, 17.5m release clause, scored 30 in 30, no idea about him/this at all, sounds a good value option.

Vague speculation linking us with Toney of Brentford/England striker, 40m ish in final year of contract, scored goals and looked tasty a while ago, then turned into a bit of a betting braggard wally, no idea about him/this at all, sounds a good value option.

The Toney bit looked more like Brentford are getting a bit anxious over lack of interest.

Or they know they will have quite a few clubs interested in him and the window doesn’t open for 2 weeks

Hope it's very vague. He's never scored more than 13 in a season before, and that includes seasons in French 2nd division. He's had an incredible season, but has never been prolific before.

He's 28..so won't be happening

 

[Lilbaz]

Llorente says hi.

But yes, i doubt it.

 

[Bedfordspurs]

Ange won’t be an issue if the price is right

 

[Danishfurniturelover]

Ange won’t be an issue if the price is right

Why would he?

 

[Bedfordspurs]

Why would he?

He won’t care
If we can get a player in he wants

 

[Baleforce]

Hojlund looks like our type of forward.

There’s always been “if you’ve never done it in the premier league it doesn’t count” vibe about players, managers who haven’t played here. Probably the same motivation for the people who said Messi couldn’t do it in the premier league.

I assume this is your usual Baleforce stance of backing a player who had a terrible game.

No, this was was sarcasm.

 

[Gutter Boy]

Fullkrug looks a decent CF. A big upgrade on Havertz when he came on. Quite Kane-like

 

[Chrissivad]

That's our striker signed
