Come on, play the game, SC needs an answer. If it’s none of the above then can we assume something more serious? Would it involve a high powered crossbow, a jam doughnut, a twelve inch dildo and a bunch of horseradishes?
I’m unclear as to why are you belittling the poster’s opinion exactly?

He/she has said they will be annoyed, it’s really not that difficult to comprehend.

You pants-poopers are going to be reallllllyyyy ashamed for doubting Paratici/Conte when we end up bringing back Alex Pritchard before the window shuts.

Thank you for the (ironic) lesson in comprehension.

You've read that wrong but fuck it, you crack on :rolleyes:

Quantify your annoyance please?

Also, how or in what way will that manifest itself? A tut and a raised eyebrow? Kicking something wildly across the room? Running amok in the supermarket during the weekend rush by dashing down each aisle whilst windmilling your arms punching anyone and everyone?

Thanks in advance for completing my survey :D
I find punching a pair of testicles really hard is the perfect manifestation of annoyance. And if I can’t find some else’s- man or beast- I’ll settle on my own

I still don't understand why Conte/Spurs passed on Eriksen. Seemed like a no brainer at the time and still does.

These types of players are just so expensive.
It sounded like Eriksen wasn't so keen on coming back and Conte wasn't that fussed either. I really don't think he's looking for a central attacking midfielder. Even if they're versatile I think he wants a more functional box to box type who can play the inside forward role. I don't think Eriksen is at all perfect unless we switch to 3 in midfield which won't happen often. I would even suggest Paqueta looks best suited to a 3 in midfield.

He'll be good for West Ham in a Dimitri Payet kind of way.

West Ham are not trying to win the league.
You mean he’ll join, score a few free kicks and think fuck this for a laugh, I’m off ?

I will say, fair play to west ham. Scamacca and Paqueta are in my eyes CL level players. Might not work, but, Paqueta especially, top talents and players. And if Conte really wanted Paqueta, I’m sure we would’ve got him.

I imagine we got told West ham are bidding 50m and paratici said Lyon: take their cash and run.

I think West Ham are suffering from reaching a European final and an early start to the season limiting their time to recover.

The risk is, for Bowen and Rice, that a poor first half of the season jeopardises their World Cup aspirations. Do they stick and hope things improve, or agitate for a move?
Semi.

Only a Semi.

He’s the only one we have! I
Romero is quite funky and beautiful to watch. Then you have Kane and some of his pinged balls are amazing to watch too.

Bentancur has some nice flair as well. I cannot wait to see Bissouma play as well.

Gil potentially is a great little player, just need to develop his game. So hopefully we can get another player in the Kulu mode to replace Gil if he goes away on loan to further develop his football education.

Not gonna lie flair is great but I’d rather see us have more than 3 players in the squad who I’d expect to have a great first touch in any situation in Kane, Kulu and Bentancur. We don’t lack flair, we lack technical ability. Its why we move the ball so slowly sometimes and that’s pretty much the be all and end all when it comes to attacking football, the quicker you move the ball the better you will be as an attacking force
