Which position do they look for?
Rumour is Guehi, Kenan Yildiz and some young kid Bouaddi at Lille. Those are listed as having substance.

There are Internet soundbites about Karim Adeyemi, Michael Olise and even Semenyo but we've just invested heavily in those areas and it seems unrealistic given the fees that would be demanded.
 
I don't quite get you Jim, why would I deny it? It's a stat I used to back up what I was seeing over the last few games. I agree with you that the scoreboard and the points are what matters, my point is that our finishing was poor, and it's probably indicative of the fact we probably still lack elite finishers given Gyokeres has been a flop.
And, as I said, xG is meaningless. But you seemed keen to compare Arsenal's stats with their xG. Ah well; each to their own.

I mean, I could have just came on and said I think you're all wrong and Arsenal did create chances the previous few games, they just missed them, but as an oppo fan id be shot down like usual, so thought I'd at least just tried to show some attacking stats to back up what I'm saying, and then get shot down anyway. :-)

You just can't let it go, can you?

You're right, there are internet soundbites on Semenyo, just not for your club.
 
You almost make sense until I politely point out that the Dippers of last season who probably were slightly better than your current lot but not by much would have been almost out of sight by now.

They did what you are failing to do and that was have the league sewn up by Christmas and in doing so killing off any moral and hope from other potential title challengers.

You talk about having hard games out of the way but in a tight title run in there are no easy matches and the quality of teams usually takes a backseat to who can hold their nerve and have a better mentality. This is usually where City come into their own. We only lose if you blow us away early. Invite us into the race (which your doing) and recent history says it’s not going to end well for you.
Fuckinghell, you make us sound so sinister…like an ever looming death just hanging in the air waiting for an open window…
 
You're a guest on this forum; try to remember that. And there's no barbed wire around the place, you're free to leave anytime you want.

Ok Jim, I've had discussions both direct and indirect on this and Scottish football threads with you for over a decade now on here but still getting hit with this.

No probs.
