Maguire was the only English player that impressed me today. As much as I detest parking the bus he's effective when the priority is a clean sheet or protecting a lead. Tyler Adams was the best player on the pitch for me. I've seen where people have compared him to David Batty and while it's still early days that's probably his ceiling. For €17M he's one of the steals of the summer market.

The fact that there were literally thousands of deaths means there was probably a few of them dying every single day. The fact that they must have seen this, and chose to continue doing it anyway speaks to a level of cruelty and greed that I can't comprehend. It's very easy for me to say, but if I were a footballer I would hope that I would not even consider participating. For me it's equivalent to the Holocaust, albeit on a smaller scale. Personally I won't be watching a minute of it.

Realistically if you were recruiting players for a club like Crystal Palace, how many centre forwards are there in the division that you would take over Antoine? I don't think any of the clubs who are likely to be in the mix for top 6 are going to be happy to part with their main striker, which could help. That would likely rule out BBD, Ndiaye, Sargent, Sarr, and probably a couple others I forgot about. Maybe this is a homer take but I don't think more popular names like Gyokeres, Piroe, or Akpom are any better than Antoine is. And when you consider he's likely to be a bit more affordable I could see a decent offer or 2 come in for him. I think his eventual ceiling is as a solid starter for a top half Premier League side if his development continues to ascend. In the meantime he could be a valuable impact sub as he's able to contribute whether you're chasing a goal or trying to see out a result.

I wonder how one would go about editing these articles. Is there a Pidgin auto correct available? It would be great fun to turn it on surreptitiously if one of your mates leaves their phone lying around

If he's found guilty and subsequently banned, would Brentford be able to sell/loan him out to a foreign league? Or would his contract be terminated

It looked like Semenyo was starting to become that kind of striker that can hold the ball up and link the play, but it seems like he coughs it up a bit too much. Kinda reminds me of Lukaku who is a big lad but his game revolves more around running in behind

I always find it funny when fans who about abuse at players on the pitch suddenly become very precious when the favor is returned

I could see him doing well there. He's not going to be the primary focus for opposing defenders and could probably be quite dangerous off the bench, plus pick up Europa/Champions League experience. More important than the initial fee will be the sell on percentage

If NP does go at some point in the near future the fact that we don't really have any natural wingers (IMO) is going to rule a lot of potential candidates out from a tactical standpoint

It was Bournemouth I believe but yes 10 million was the rumored amount

If we're considering managers that aren't very realistic like Gerrard I wouldn't mind Ralph Hassenhuttl. I think his tactics are much better suited to the Championship then they are the Premier League

I think he's got a good delivery on set pieces but I agree he's too blase at times in possession

I don't know whether it's realistic to take for granted that the club will engage in savvy recruitment but I admire your optimism

It was a poor performance but if you weren't saying NP out prior to tonight I don't think losing a meaningless cup game should be the final straw. If we perform like this Saturday then we can revisit it

I was gonna say...there's no way we spent 7 million on Han Noah it was less than half that
