    that's me then, we do ask him to do too much defensive work

    Look at Salah, he apparently said to Slot - "I'll get you lots of goals and assists but the deal is I don't track back"

    I'd say that worked pretty well

    The interesting thing about Rodryigo is that he primarily plays on the right, so I don’t know whether the plan would be to move him left (he is right footed which could suit that) or if not what that would mean either for Nwaneri or whether we’d keep Trossard or not

    Rodryigo is the unassuming character that’s allowed the galactico’s around him to take centre stage. He’s definitely a player of quality though and I would suggest it’s the type of competition that Martinelli needs too.

    I like what Trossard has delivered for us but he’s never really going to be a certified stater. Only reason he played so much this year was because of the injury situation. It would be tough to see him go but if we can get a decent offer for him I would move him on.

    Ornstein has us for Kepa.

    Why must we buy/loan Chelsea players every window?

    Fine with that. Cheap and reasonably good keeper for back up.

    Almost forgot that Chelsea paid 70m for him.

    My main issue with buying Chelsea players is potential wages. But let’s be fair, that club has so many players on its books it’s like a boot sale. Not terrible to have experienced backup

    I don't think he's particularly good, will play in the cups and probably cost us.

    He's the right level for what we need I think, he was actually quite good for Bournemouth

    The clubs do seem to have a good off pitch relationship when it comes to transfers and it kinda makes sense.

    They're the two most successful teams in London and can offer reasonably equivalent wages and on pitch success (obviously this varies from year to year) without the player having to uproot his life to move across the country.

    Yeah and we’re the mugs who are always happy to do them a favour and take their scraps.
