I doubt anyone actually wants us to see the team be anything other than successful.

And we paid £130 mill for a max £90 mill player
That’s what my initial thought was when we signed him. The problem is we don’t have the wide forwards who get beyond a back line. Neither Gakpo nor Salah will leave next summer either.
We do have the full backs to add the width needed to support it though. We need to use those more with their overlaps.
He has to. If we could ditch Diaz, we sure as hell need to ditch Salah.
This would be interesting. I think we’d need to transition one of Isak or Tekkers to a wide forward. But i do think he could do that role. What it would mean though is we get the ball to the byline and pulled back along the ground. Feels like we are too often crossing for headers and that is much easier to defend (unless you’re Ibu)
I would be. He should be off in January.
Maybe. But why buy Isak then?
No wonder they can pay top wages. It’s the kick backs from paddy power.
There is a serious gambling issue in the game. Loads of players with gambling addiction, even if most of them are smart enough not to bet on football.
But on top of that it's the sponsorship thing, with most clubs having multiple gaming sponsors, many of them dubious.
Eventually the Premie League will grow a pair, clamp down on it all, and the Premier League clubs will have to launch programmes helping fans with gambling addition issues. Although I said that nearly 10 years ago and it still hasn't happened.
This Turkish story should bump it all up the agenda.

I get serious anxiety gambling. I did binary trading lost £100 and left it as it is. I then lost 10s of thousands but it was all virtual money.
That’s not as bad as dreamy cashing out and costing us a Champions League.
A Masterclass
The best Irish performance in a decade and Ronaldo off to boot!
The Govt. banned smoking ads ... now it's time to ban all gambling ads from sport, public advertising and main-stream online sites. No betting shops should be permitted on main roads in urban centres (back streets only). It's has a crippling, ruinous effect on many families.
Take it from someone who managed casinos for 7 years - it's like a drug addiction, you are never 'cured'.
However the Govt. taxes (and lotteries) would suffer so we know that isn't happening.
