            Thx

    2. VVD for me, neither keeping a CS or scoring in the near future but Lacroix at least gets a few defcons.

    This Wharton fella is overrated

    The English media including sky and tnt want to hype him up but he’s nowhere near what they make him to be

    Decent mid but that’s it. Offers nothing goal wise, 4 goals in his whole career and those were in the championship. 3 assists this season. To be a top level mid you need to influence games positively, Jamie redknapp in the sky studio going on about how good he is at assisting the assisted, are you kidding me?!

    Calls for him to start for England at the World Cup 😆 I just don’t see what the fuss is about

      A or C

      But I think that Semenyo will keep putting the performances in.

      Don't see why Bournemouth would protect him if they don't want to sell and raise the cash.
