Mount's is one I've always had a permanent mental image of, and not too dissimilar to JWP's

I'm fairly sure Calafiori led the league in these two categories when we signed him from Bologna, too.

for fuck's sake

Have to find the right balance and make sure not to consistently over-exert them but it's made facing mid-blocks a lot better than last season, already.

The Bear Case: honestly, several questions around opportunity cost, and what type of squad role he assumes hereon.

We shouldn't shy away from the obvious need for a marquee(-adjacent) level forward, nor should we be looking to give Trossard the sort of minutes he's so far enjoyed this season.

The Bull Case: a 29 year-old with <29,000 career minutes (for reference, 29 year-old Sterling has 42,000) who is a versatile forward option, a proven game-changer off the bench, and whose prospective athletic decline *shouldn't* have a significant impact upon contributions – at least for a bit.

probably the guy who got me into this sport the most, funnily enough.

very fair

can you figure out whether the change in xG Difference with/without him is statistically significant?

very glad to hear that ✨

With the (re)ascent of Trump, and Musk's role within that success:

I imagine these sorts of critiques that really go hard on the "oligarchic" element of modern liberal democracies will dominate the political science space in the following years.
