Ever since Welbeck described him as having velcro boots or whatever (the ball sticks to him) I’ve noticed that aspect of his game. He has an amazing ability to keep the ball at his feet when running into enemy territory. Other parts of his game may still be evolving and improving but that skill...

After Pascal reappeared on Sunday I amused myself by going back on NSC and checking out some of the stuff that was said about him here before he became Herr Reliable. And Welbeck too. Honestly, it was painful and embarrassing to read. I'd forgotten just how much negativity there was at the early...

Why would you say that about a new player?

Come on. He’s made a couple of substitute appearances. He’s shown a lot of energy and determination in what I’ve seen and I think he’ll be in the thick of a lot of goals given time. He may not be a Haaland type deadly finisher but he will be creating tons of chances and contributing to others. I...

I was at a conference in 2007 and remember it being discussed in one of the presentations as being a great new way to get your marketing messages out there. Obviously it morphed into something else once politicians and other assorted loudmouths stumbled across it.

Righto.

He’s been with us 5 minutes. "It’s blue and white he bleeds" is a bit of a stretch. How about "He’s very good indeed"?

Pretty sad really. The kid must be gutted.

Of course, yes. I don’t think I suggested anything different. It was their persistence I was noting, not that they’d asked approval from some random Palace fan like @Frankworthington.

It’s clear that we were very keen to get the player. Went back twice and submitted an offer at release-clause level minutes before the deadline to ensure no one else was in for him. The two initial offers made presumably in the hope that Leeds would accept something lower, and also to flush out...

He’d have to be some player to balance the loss of Adingra, Ferguson and Sarmiento.

Doesn’t really mean anything. The Leeds forum I looked at was far more equivocal about him. Most thought it would be a blow to lose him in the same window as Gray and Somerville, especially now the season's started. Others thought he was all unfulfilled potential and that they’d be mad to turn...
