Yet somehow heโ€™s all over the coverage of womenโ€™s football, including on 5Live and Sky. Grim

Think he also said Earpsโ€™ ego is out of control. Has some nerve the bloke

Crazy! How did someone even found this worked?!

How is this so good?!

Hahah, me too. In my head Sancho works better in this system than Garnacho, but I think thatโ€™s part because Iโ€™ve not seen Sancho and this system and also forgotten how frustrating Sancho is

Haha. I think Iโ€™d rather keep Sancho at this point tbh

And change your name to Seskology like the Gen Z lads on Twitter

Project 21 is arriving early. No doubts with this signing, we are so back

Yep, but sounds like weโ€™re pretty close now. Time to go all in

Haha, time to get yourself a Slovenian flag to hang outside your window now. All in on Sesko

Hope youโ€™re right. I can see the upside, but weโ€™ve been burned so many times before itโ€™s impossible for me think rationally here

05.08.2025 22:21 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 1    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 0    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Ha! Think Iโ€™m right there alongside you

If that is true and isnโ€™t just a leak trying to make this logical, then Iโ€™m happy with that. I do wonder why they wouldnโ€™t have tried to get this done earlier though rather than wait till Newcastle forced their hand. They also apparently went for Gyokeres before Arsenal signed him too?

05.08.2025 22:19 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 0    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

I would favour this approach too, for sure. Thereโ€™s still a part of me that thinks Hojlund could come good

The Money Is In All The Wrong Places | Defector You can always tell who in Hollywood has family money by their Instagrams. People like Dakota Johnson, who have a Hollywood lineage deeper than the Mariana Trench, post only rarely. They post about so...

BTW, if you want to read an actually good story about Sydney Sweeney I really liked this from 3 years ago defector.com/the-money-is...

Surprised no oneโ€™s tested you boys on Rogers, tbh

donโ€™t think itโ€™s an indicator Watkins might be off?

Yep, the emotional part of me is tooooo loud when it comes to signings

05.08.2025 16:38 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 0    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 0    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

I think Iโ€™d want to keep him, just for one more year. But if financially it makes sense then by all means

05.08.2025 16:37 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 0    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Agreed. Keeper and a CM for sure. This feels a little desperate

05.08.2025 16:36 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 0    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 0    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

We can only hope. Iโ€™m definitely more optimistic with this than I was with Hojlund, just feels like a lot, and such a risk when a banker CM would be a lot more prudent imo

05.08.2025 16:36 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 1    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Feels desperate doesnโ€™t it. From both clubs

05.08.2025 16:34 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 1    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 0    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

I wonder how much of the decision making still boils down to, โ€œwe gonna look mighty stupid if he lights it up at Newcastleโ€

Thereโ€™s a definitely a part of me wanting to sign him out of fomo

05.08.2025 16:34 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 3    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 3    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Feels like it

05.08.2025 16:33 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 0    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 0    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

I just wish Hojlund could learn the same from such a sage of the game :(

George Bernard Shaw wrote an article this week in 1914 urging both sides to shoot their officers and go home.

05.08.2025 16:11 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 579    ๐Ÿ” 129    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 18    ๐Ÿ“Œ 12

Thatโ€™s exactly what it looks like to me. And Hojlund was a couple of years younger when we signed himโ€ฆ

05.08.2025 12:47 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 1    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

And this feels much more likely than him scoring 20 premier league goals next season

05.08.2025 12:46 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 1    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 0    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Yeah, youโ€™re right it definitely *could* work. Just not sure how high that could percentage is
