Great to hear Lallana talking about this, along with today’s video. Fully on board with a project he wants to see come to fruition (European football), rather than jumping ship like Potter, Cucurella and Trossard. The viewpoint I suppose of a player who’s been there, done it and can now...

I suppose the emergence of those two is the threat to his big summer move. Mitoma is a more dangerous left winger. Ferguson is a raw but 'proper' front man with huge potential. Lallana is better in the hole. Mac Allister too. Gross can play there. Leo may well have ended up a bit part player for...

I have a bit of a problem with that when it happens immediately. In return for their £60,000 a week, players should at least show a bit of respect for the club they've joined. Overall, no problem with Leo though. He's been a fine player for us on his day. Has the talent to put in much better...

Shouldn't think so. Presumably this is from the coach's sit-down with the written press after the televised press conference. I assume that's how it works with Albion. Usually, managers speak to the TV/radio. The newspaper journalists sit in on that. Then the boss has separate sessions with the...

Who appointed Barber and who does he report to?

I think when you look at the club’s progress under Bloom and everything he’s done for the club it’s hardly a ‘weird pedestal’. He’s a brilliant businessman. Losing top players and coaches has only happened because of the success.

I’d agree with one of the most skilful - but with a tendency to shine in the big games and disappear in lots of others. Which maybe suggests his motivation’s never been the best. Can see a richer club picking him up, where he’ll be a bench warmer who gradually loses what seems to be fragile...

I imagine they’re trying to drive the price down. To which the correct response I think is to make him see out the rest of the season training with the youth team unless he gets his act together. He certainly shouldn’t get his move

Would have to agree. Trossard is a strange one really. I’d say he’s the player fans of other clubs immediately pick out as our ‘star’ man (well, before the World Cup anyway). Not surprising as he pops up with big goals in big games - but watching him regularly is different. He’ll play a blinder...

I've been quite pleased to see RDZ apparently critical of Leo. Will be interesting to see how he responds. He's got immense ability and, for us, is frequently a wonderful player. To move a step higher, I think he needs to hit his highest level more often. I'm sure that's all De Zerbi is trying...

I'm pretty sure I've seen him play for Belgium as a RWB in the Nations League or a friendly but agree it's difficult to understand why anyone would buy him for that position.
