I’ve seen it all. Comparing giving Rugani another chance to Thomas Edison inventing the light bulb.

Funny the amount of us that watched this horrifically one sided game to get an insight on Kostic. Him kicking the ball away out of frustration and getting booked with 5-0 down and 20 mins to go confirmed he has will fit right in with our group.

Agree, he is average. Rugani is below average. If there was a knockout CL game, I know whose face I would less prefer to see.

Not comparing the two in terms of quality of course, but iirc after Iaquinta got his lateral meniscus injury at around 29/30, was out for 2 months and completely fell off a cliff after that.

His erratic first touch and lack of ability to use his decent frame limits his contribution in holding up the ball and giving us the chance of playing out from the back. In transition he often makes decent runs in behind the back line and also offers an aerial threat. He certainly has his...

Will be back in October to use us as warm up games for the World Cup.

I agree, but it appears the club have decided to look at that void next season when Alex Sandro and his wages are finally off the books. The next gaping hole is the LW position if we’re going 4-3-3 imo. What’s the plan, wait for Chiesa to be fit, play Kean there, buy Morata? Play Rabbit or Pogba...

On his salary he’s going nowhere. He’ll take his big signing on fee and wage elsewhere next year. Let’s make peace with hopefully offloading Arthur and Ramsey this summer. We can then look forward to the end of Alex Sandro and Rabbit next year.

You are being too optimistic expecting another centre back. Experience tells us the starting pair will be Bonucci, Bremer. Gatti, Rugani back ups. Success will be dependent on Bonucci’s fitness, how Gatti adapts and keeping Rugani’s minutes to the absolute bare minimum. Fun fact for those old...

Might be in the minority here but I’d prefer Bremer to Pau Torres. Sure the sample size is smaller as he had one very good season in a back 3. I just believes he has more of the attributes I want in a centre back and he’s already settled living in the area and playing in the league. Also Pau...

If we finally manage to fix our midfield and our forward line, it’s inevitable that we will have a gaping hole at the back.

He’s been decent when I’ve watched him. Problem is Arsenal will demand a big fee (40 mil +) that he’s not worth.

Pellegrini looked ok because he was one of a select few players last season who had the ability and desire to get up and down the pitch. On the ball, he lacked composure and was shaky, defensive positioning was suspect at times, came off worse in the majority of 50-50’s and often got carded...

I rewatched the entire game the week after and Villarreal were largely penned in with no desire to commit players forward. He had little to do. The challenge was an idiotic one whether he missed it by a millimetre or a metre. Coquelin was running away from goal. The guy is utter shit and the...

It may not have complemented/worked but I’d have loved to see them play as a pair for a season.

He will be stuck at Lazio for eternity.

The only rush to make this happen is the risk of losing out in Bremer as his replacement to Merda. Otherwise we’re still in a strong negotiating position and can cash in on him next year if required providing he doesn’t have a car crash of a season.

Here’s hoping we at least re-coup the €85 million we shelled out for him.

Ruru will never leave. Our only hope is that he gets pushed to 5th choice centre back so we never have to see him again, even in a pre-season or coppa Italia game.

They want money, dunno why. When I want loan with option to buy.
