It would actually be one of the few signings we could make in that position that wouldn't. He's 34 in a couple of months.

Loan or sell Nunes, keep McAtee around to learn from the master. Probably don't need a striker either if we sign Gundo - he'll get goals if we play a false 9.

Come home Ilkay.

I like him as a pundit more than Micah.

Just a versatile forward if there's one out there, I think.

Little Lahm.

Who buttered his gloves?

Just a little over the top, maybe? I was concerned when he didn't start as I assumed he was fit. The fact he didn't get a single minute suggests he isn't.

Deserves to keep his place against Ipswich. Exactly the kind of game we need to be resting Rodri in.

What a player we have on our hands here already.

I think Grealish must not be fully fit, because if he were Doku probably would have been taken off after an hour. But it's a good thing he wasn't, because it allowed Doku to play through some rough moments and he was on fire by the end. He's not going to learn and improve from the bench, he...

The fact his team had a proper statement ready for the press within minutes tells me Chelsea are forcing him out and he knows it. All about the PR war now.

3 games in a row, isn't it? Not worth a place on the bench ahead of Mudryk though. I mean, fucking Mudryk? Really?

I think it's a pretty big statement. He'll have expected to start just as Bobb would have had he been fit.

They really do treat players like shit. Absolute shit. You only have to look at the volley he scored against us a couple of weeks ago to see he still has it. Good luck getting him to walk away from £300k a week.

Exciting team, although I'm slightly worried about our shape defensively to be honest. Got to be crushing for Jack. Really good pre-season, one niggle in training and he's back behind Doku in the pecking order.

We'd be mad not to go for him if he's available. Loan him for the last 12 months of his Barca contract and go from there. Give them a sweetened deal for Cancelo to make it happen.

I think that's just TV misinterpreting what they've said. "No clear play on the ball" basically means even though he got a touch, it didn't meaningfully change the direction or the speed of the ball and therefore it doesn't negate the foul. If he'd have got more on it, no foul. But the touch...

Think it's just about a pen. But PGMOL are totally fucking VAR up by raising the bar for intervention higher and higher. I'd bet the vast majority of VAR decisions that really upset fans are the missed overturns, not the ones that are given. That's why you hear "what's the point in VAR if...

Apparently the screen wasn't working, so the ref overturned Everton's pen based purely on the VAR's advice... Probably Everton's own fault. How is the monitor not working for the opening day of the season?
