I'd love to see James on the left and Dalot on the right, both being backed up by the runs from Shaw and Aaron.

Such a contrast to what we've seen in recent years.
 
The sell on clause in Zaha's contract is 25% according to Luckhurst, which is still intact. Our negotiating team did well to get him with the clause intact for £45m + 5m in add ons.
 
A refreshing change to actually buy a player for an area that has been in dire need for a few seasons, with a young, athletic and enthusiastic right-back. You cannot say this is a Woodward inspired purchase. The scouts would have had a say in this transfer.
Spot on. This has Ole written all over it.
 
Club captain, on pitch captain. Last season Valencia was captain and barely played. Next in line was Young so he was captain whenever he played.

Would prefer to have a single captain like. Watch it end up being pogba to keep him happy :(
 
5, 19, 21, 25-30, 32-35, 37, 41+

If we get a new CB, he should get 5. Can see AWB and James getting 19 and 21. Obviously some players could leave too which frees up some numbers.

Doesn't Rojo wear 5
 
I've always wondered how hard it could be to get better at crossing. With all our training facilities surely we could at least improve it by 20-30%?

Completely agree. It just requires practice and dedication.

GNev improved no end by his late 20's through practice.
 
Media will start to slate us saying that we overpaid. Even heard it’s the reason Maguire is now being priced at £100m.

The problem is if clubs don’t need to sell you have to pay the price.

£50m is a lot for the fella but it is what is.
 
Is that a good thing? Such a pointless stat and amazingly stupid to just think its a positive.
I think it's to point out that he is very good defensively but also does like to dribble forward with ball as apposed to just punting it forward like a 'defensive full back' might be more inclined to do.

The actual act of kicking a ball is fairly easy to improve on. The mental side of it, deciding what cross to make, who to prioritise and how to time it would be more difficult.
 
Wan-Bissaka, Two-Bissaka, Three-Bissaka, score!
Holy shit :lol:

I can't decide if that's amazingly bad or just amazing.

The ability to do so is obviously a good thing. The thing that stat doesn't tell us is how often he was unsuccessful and how often there were better options. So, like most stats, it's a good stat if taken as it should be.

Yea that's fine, but that's not what he said.
