Rumour was we bid £10-11m for him, same as Chelsea… but he preferred to go there 🤷🏻♂️

A couple of ‘what ifs’ that haunt me… the Robbie Keane one definitely, then signing Heskey over Falcao (for similar money) when we were best placed to get UCL of any of MON’s seasons. Others would be selling Cahill to sign Zat Knight 🤦🏻♂️ and finally, if we could’ve beaten Chelsea to get Lampard…

Complete mental blank that Keane played for them!

Tielemans and Kamara both on free transfers is impressive. McGinn for £2.75m of course. But I’d add in £17m for Martinez, £12m for Konsa both proved outstanding value over the years. Only paid £15m for Douglas Luiz. Only thinking recently, as relative prices have changed so much!

I believe the contract extension is completely independent of his England call up… but I think him playing for England has triggered additional payments to Middlesbrough.

Shows what I know. Two players I’d have subbed both scored 🤣🤣🤣

He really doesn’t function effectively in this team anymore. I’m biased… but I’d change Kane for Watkins and Gordon (who is anonymous) for Rogers at half time. Inject some more urgency, and a genuine threat in behind.

A half of football that shows precisely why - in this team with these players - Watkins offers much, much more threat. Kane is an England legend for sure, and a phenomenal finisher. But his record-breaking stats are hugely padded out with penalties and flat-track bullying minnow nations.

I was in the Holte for this game. Absolutely epic. One of my favourite games I’ve been to.

There’s so much great TV… it was difficult to keep to 10!
The Sopranos, Boardwalk Empire, Reacher, Succession, Game of Thrones, The Gentlemen, Gangs of London, The Night Of, It’s a Sin…

Think Olof would be brilliant for us then. Less obvious than McGrath.

Does this need to be players who could ACTUALLY still play (Like Jack, or Dougie)… or any player from the past who’d improve us in their prime? If it’s an open book, I’d get Olof Mellberg in for that RCB/RB role. Otherwise, 💯 Jack Grealish .

But he’s so much better than Konsa though?
