Can you do a breakdown : first 100, 101-200 and 201-300 to see the evolution of his performances as a manager?

And I wouldn't mind going as far as reversing the free kick, like for the throws. It would require a clear indication that the countdown started, like in handball, but I think it would be manageable

Not world class until he does it in the FIFA club's world Cup. I don't make the rule 🤷🏻‍♂️

The bias with that guy is off the charts. It feels like ESPN gave the job to an inbred between a drunk Liverpool fan and a slow Tottenham fan. He ranks very high on the list of football related persons that I despise the most

Every time I see someone in Spuds gear, I instantly think less of them. Even spuds celebs (Adele, Tom Hardy) immediately drop in my book, while Gunners like Evenepoel or Will Poulter earn my instant affection.

Non plus, par contre, le bon Danny a fini sa carrière au club mythique de "En lisant"

Bizarrement Declan a pu garder son patronyme, tout comme Benny White ou Chiesa qui n'est pas, à mon grand damne, devenu Frédéric Église. Par contre, Mikel Merino est devenu Mikel Mérinos

It could work in a league where money is tighter (my beloved ligue 1 for instance), but as you said, environment matters. For instance, I'm not utterly convinced Bali's loan to Reims would've been as successful without a belgo-english coach at the helm of the club.

À noter qu'après 1933, Hitler n'a enfreint aucune loi de l'Allemagne Nazi et ça, ça compte pour ce bon Guillaume

Le fameux zoo ovipare de Besançon! Jean-Yves Lafess, tu nous manques

Je me suis toujours demandé si la pub avait des retombées réelles. C'est juste que ça fonctionne bien sur certains publics en fait.

Let's add Galatasaray for a more vintage revenge !

Fait historique (peut-être 🤷🏻‍♂️): en 1965, le Klu Klux Klan aurait lancé un mouvement dans la presse #SansMoiÀSelma pour montrer que le groupe ne soutenait pas les marches pour les droits civiques des afro-americains.

And so they should. I am mainly dubious on the timing, that's all. Back to square 1, my skepticism hasn't been answered. Anyway, until next interaction ✌🏻

Agree 100% on the reliability, less so on the level. Do you think Trossard will play a lot of minutes this year ?

This decision being giving him a raise rather than keeping him for the season

And that's where I become quizzical about this decision : why not having this stance internally but remain open to what comes your way. In any case, losing Leo without replacing him now wouldn't be the end of the world with Jesus coming back in a foreseeable future and Nelson still at the club.

I agree, that is not the norm in football. Yet again, I don't hate keeping Trossard, but do you think the club should move on from him *if* a good offer is presented to them ?

So, it would be the biggest earthquake of your football analysis career if Trossard isn't a gunner in September?

So you're adamant that with his new contract, it is beyond conceivable that Leo is moved before the end of the window?

Perhaps, but I could say the same with the idea of stability in professional sports.

Clubs should enjoy opportunities more than stability imo. I am still not convinced about the timing of it

But there is a tangible benefit : Trossard's market value is better on lower wages for the remaining 10 days of the window. Even though you wouldn't want to sell, impossible-to-reject offers could still come your way. You said it multiple times : players on high wages are less appealing

That is still something you can do without improving Leo's term now. The approach doesn't seem very agile to me

Then, why shut it completely and so publicly? It doesn't make much of a difference for him to wait for the end of the mercato to improve his terms , but for the club, that puts it off of hypothetical opportunities

Although I tend to side with the "not so obvious benefits for the club" on this one, the timing of it seems baffles me even more

Then, the timing of it still feels really odd. Just wait for the end of the mercato, when you're absolutely sure he won't get moved to improve his terms.

All this out of sheer fear of losing Anne Hathaway's love for the club...
