Tavares is coming back, Forest hasn't bought him. It's amazing how much he's failed to develop after we signed him. So much raw talent, zero development.
I still think someone needs to bite the bullet and turn him into a winger. Otherwise he'll be lucky if he ends up in the Championship I think. Which is sad, I like him a lot. But that's three seasons without nearly any development now.
Since England announces their squad today, who do you think will be the starting XI? Kane, Saka, Rice, Bellingham, Pickford are obviously all getting in, but the rest feel a bit more up for grabs.
Personally hoping for Foden LW and hope he makes it work, but beyond that honestly not really got a clue. Obviously Shaw, Stones, and almost certainly Walker, but who's the fourth?
Has to be said: I knew Kai Havertz would be decent as a signing. I did not expect to feel like he's been our signing of the season, or that he would displace Jesus, or score nearly as many as he has. Imagine him taking that 2024 form and putting it through the whole season. Can't wait.
I think we'll hear about some sales first this time round. You've got Tierney and Tavares and some other players that need to get gone, and the former at least should have a buyer. Plus like, Nketiah as much as I love him.
I think it's actually the other way around: that he isn't giving them chances because he knows they aren't good enough from training. He's given Nelson and ESR and Nketiah ample opportunities. We know the other ones are worse — Patino's probably the best in that bunch and barely managed to play in Swansea after the change of manager.
I don't think he's quiteee ready but I think he's pretty damn close, if we can't afford to get in a 6 to replace Partey or wtv I could see it as a stopgap. Or for him to get another loan to develop — what's his contract situation?
I think in a way if Arsenal are to lose a Championship having had such a lead at one time it’s somewhat poetic justice that they have got the result on the last day even if they’re not to win it.
