got a feeling kev's injury is overblown and he'll be back sooner than people think

Don’t see Raphina as a Pep player out of possession.

Exact opposite. He works like a dog. Remember he was maybe the most important player in Bielsa Leeds team, and he suffers no passengers.

That's a bit forward. I didn't say what I think, but saying that if I don't agree with your opinion then I basically don't understand football is kind of silly don't you think? I won't get into all that except to say I know lots and lots and lots about football.

That said, if people like Luis Enrique rate him as good enough to play regularly for Spain how can you state with such conviction that he's average?

I'll respect your opinion, but it's just that. Saying categorically doesn't add any weight to it. Just sayin'...

Fair enough.

Ferran Torres, a 37 year old Jesus Navas and Alvaro Morata also play for Spain though. They are pretty average too at the moment tbh.

Like it or not, Olmo ticks all the boxes.

Which boxes does he tick? Ive not seen much of him but when I have I haven’t been impressed..

Navas isn't average at all though

Same 23 that finished the season with Kovacic in place of Gundo and McAtee and Bobb added...

90% of the players we get linked with we don't sign,, and the majority of them aren't good enough ;)

This expectation that every signing needs to be world class already, as if they don't usually improve drastically under Pep, should stop.

Don’t see Raphina as a Pep player out of possession.

And Mahrez was? Lol.

 

[Asa's left peg]

Watched the 'all the goals' from last season. last night. There are a lot of important goals to be replace from Gundy and Mahrez but I'm sure some or all of the slack will be taken up by Foden, Alvarez and the younger lads. I also have a suspicion there may be even more from Haaland. (Tin hat on)
