The stat was 'chances created in open play'. The likes of Digne etc took corners, and wide free-kicks.

He created the third most open-play chances, of any full back in the PL, lat season (after TAA and Reece James) :shrug:

Like when they used the Ben White money to buy Cucurella AND Mwepu (with £20m change)?

Interestingly, the first time Cucurella ever played at LCB for the Albion, was when we were down to the bare bones in central defence, for the game at Stamford Bridge last NY. He was superb - as were the whole side, in outplaying the hosts, and were unfortunate to come away with just a point...

and Marcos Alonso is leaving.

I’ve never understood why some fans (and some in the media) feel that the price previously paid for a player, is at all relevant, to their current value. Perhaps this same City fan would be happy to sell Foden for £20m? They did get him for nothing, after all, so it would be GREEDY to want to...

Looks a decent player (Maatsen). He’s at Burnley on loan from Chelsea, though…

Not unless Romano has forgotten how to spell his own name, no.

Inigo Calderon never did anything similar. He signed for us on a short term contract, until the end of his first season. He honoured that, and was a completely free agent when he spoke to Southampton - before Gus talked him into signing a new deal here.

There is a World Cup in a few months' time, and Cucurella is surely on the fringes of consideration for Spain's squad. This will be (one of a number of) a reason for him wanting the move to City, but equally a huge motivation to keep giving of his best, should the move NOT go through.

Nice try - but that means WE would have to constantly be reading the same pointless regurgitations, to spot and flag the meaningful update, if and when that comes....

"The first thing that HAS to happen, is for Zinchenko to leave. Zinchenko has to leave and THEN they will be able to try for Cucurella. They sold Gabriel Jesus and now they have Erling Haaland. They sold Raheem Sterling and now they have Julian Alvarez..." Err... They signed Haaland WEEKS...

That would be quite enlightening though. We’d know it was in excess of £50m. As it should be.

Utter bollocks. One was one of our poorer players, when we were the second worst team in the country. The other despite being under appreciated by the simple minded amongst the fan base, has been played under two managers, in almost every game he’s been fit, since we made it to the Premier...

:shrug: Bissouma's 'specific job' is terrorising the opposition when they have the ball, and driving his team forwards when they have it. there isn't a team in world football who doesn't want or need someone to do those things - whatever style of play they use.

Mine is like that, but with Solly March!

Poor Enoch Mwepu.

If fit Adam Lallana is a must-pick. Always.
