    Anyone going to take a gamble on Isak? Got Watkins and the money to upgrade, not sure he could be any worse.

        I would like to see him take the field first.

          Slot said he’s ready for 45 now and it’ll either be in the CL or next weekend.

          If it’s in the CL, surely that’s 60 at the weekend.

              Could be yeah, if he looks good next week I will certainly consider him on WC. I have Eikitie since GW1 but he may need to go soon.

        City threw Donna straight in, why the F did Amorim persist with Bayindir. De Gea saves that

        1. MJF
            7 months, 2 days ago

            Peter Schmeichel (now, at this age) is probably better.

          • Utopsis
            • 6 Years
            7 months, 2 days ago

            He showed him the whole goal HAHA

            • 5 Years
            7 months, 2 days ago

            perhaps because Lemmens is NOWHERE near as established or as experienced as Donna?

            Atleast Haaland scores genuine goals unlike fluke lucky ones in 93rd minute like Salah
