I like him ;) Honestly, have been pretty impressed with him so far, he's been really lively every appearance he's made. Early signs are good, looks our best signing based on early form.

Im pleased for you :) I really am. He does lively well, less so quality. But hey hes scored a winner in the cup, maybe we get an add on for that (surely we didnt set the bar too high)

He has just found a natural level now at mid table team playing against league one opponents 😆😉
 
Lucas Digne the difference for us again. He is our best player comfortably. One of the best free-kicks you'll see and then some excellent work down the left and a sublime cross to set up our 4th. Still believe he's one of the best attacking LBs in Europe, only a matter of time before he moves for big money to one Europe's top sides. What a signing!

Hasn’t he already been at two of Europe’s top clubs - PSG and Barcelona plus Roma as well but didn’t pull up trees. If clubs are looking for a left back then they will look at certainly one on Merseyside, the best in Europe 😉
 
Reported Smalling to be loaned to Roma 8 months after getting a new contract with pay increase - why would you do that as a club if you knew he wasn't up to ManU level? Seems daft.
 
3 RBs (TAA, Trippier and Wan Bissaka) in the England squad and 2 left-backs + Mings who can play there. We're pretty stacked at wing back considering Walker and Shaw haven't even made the squad.
 
Southgate showing he is not so different to English managers before him. AWB gets the call up as soon as he moves to a top 6 club, despite being in better form for little old Palace last season.
Well I imagine it's his form generally over the last year. He unfortunately plays in probably our best-stocked position since he had Walker and Arnold to displace, not to mention Trippier who good for a while.

The squad is a bit unusual really. Three right backs and no Walker is odd, for only two games I'm not sure what you need three right backs for. Somehow Lingard is still getting in, even though he's added Maddison, Mount and Chamberlain who could all be considered to play the same position, plus Barkley is there as well. Seems a bit one-dimensional. But for all its faults, I don't think there's anyone out there (besides Walker) who's missing out who should be there. We just don't have much quality to choose from in the first place.


Edit: for anyone who hasn't seen the squad
Goalkeepers
Heaton, Pickford, Pope
Defenders
Alexander-Arnold, Chilwell, Gomez, Keane, Maguire, Mings, Rose, Trippier, Wan-Bissaka
Midfielders
Barkley, Henderson, Maddison, Mount, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Rice, Winks
Forwards
Kane, Lingard, Rashford, Sancho, Sterling, Wilson
 
He has been released after 1 day 🙄
Upon appeal. He may go back in if the appeal is dismissed.

I met him at a golf day last year. Really decent bloke, gave everyone his time, happy to answer questions and tell stories. His after dinner speech was very good. A real shame that he has tarnished himself with this.
 
Looks like city have got a walk over in the CL, I wonder how thick the brown envelope was 🤭
