Either knock out a key contender early or we have one less competition to distract us and it’s not like we have to go to some beat up frozen pitch and risk injury. I’m fine with it.

How many goals did we score against top sides? That’s where the top striker comes in. We don’t need help beating Luton, we need help beating Liverpool

The player is on shit wages and we are the biggest club with the most obvious need at his position. I hope he gets the bag because this is his last chance at a big deal. Just not from us.

Exactly what we needed against these sorts of defenses. There is nothing on the ground, go to the air.

I think given Rice’s involvement going forward pushing him to 8 and finding a stout 6 is easier than finding a complement to Rice at 8, but tough to tell what the summer will bring. Euros always mess up transfers and boost some people’s prices

Yeah Partey would’ve been sold this summer if we had the cover. We don’t.

Trossard is *tiny*, he’s smaller than Jesus.

it’s always dry, we’re going to have to spend 100m+ to fix it properly and a near-28-year old coming off an 8-month break whose non-penalty record isn’t astounding isn’t it.

Osimhen or someone in that class would actually add something we don’t have.

Really doesn’t have any bearing on the striker spot. Havertz wasn’t bought to be a frontman.

Pires is so French his collar would not stay down

Matthew Upson. Can’t not see him in a hammers shirt

I was only ever able to get to a single game there in the last season and I cherish it. Glad emirates finally has an aura to it, but it’ll never be highbury
