He scored 29 goals in 33 games last year....
****ing hell, if that is 'washed up' then we might all as well just give up.

I'm fully prepared to eat my words, but he's going to disappoint in the premier league

I think you will be very disappointed. He is still a world class player.

I feel bitter about this transfer...
Look at the signings and money this summer.
Man City spending £100m on Grealish, and can't believe they won't still do something about a striker.
Man Utd bring in Sancho, Varane, Ronaldo
Chelsea spending £100m on Lukaku
Even Arsenal have spent about £150m - which looks like a waste, but they've still spent big.
It pisses me off and just reminds me of how close we came to CL football the last 2 years but now that opportunity may have well and truly gone.
And really, that's because FFP rules being completely 'relaxed' due to Covid/teams not giving a shit after Man City not being punished. I'm sure that was "meant" to help clubs avoid financial difficulty. But the big clubs have gone on an almighty splurge to make sure we don't get close.
That couple with the failed ESL idea and the owners of those clubs now trying to get fans back on side by going for some big signings.
It's set us and others who have been closing that gap to the big teams back a long way IMO.
The top 3 at least now look so strong, it looks impossible to get in amongst them.

I wonder how much they'd want for martial? He's better than Perez at least.

They've spent big on the stars of now, we're packing the stars of tomorrow. Sure it seems to get harder every season to try and crack that top 4, I think we've got a good enough squad to do it but having some rotten luck with injuries yet again this year. That Wesley Fofana injury really put the kaibosh on my excitement for what we might be able to achieve this season....

We were linked with Dan James, who is surely now even more available...

He always strikes me as someone who can just run fast with decision making not a strong point in his game.

He's got pace and very little else. I'm not sure if pace will fit with our style tbh. Maybe in games where we don't have the ball.

- 8/10. I personally would have liked a ‘Brazil ace’ or ‘lining up a move for’ but it’s a strong effort.

Disappointed there is no 'before the window slams shut' in there

Agree but ‘cease trading’ is a nice variation.

It seems to have been open forever. Maybe they'll not manage to close it?
