Has there ever been a decent Italian defender in the Prem? Can’t think of many.
Not been many decent Italians full stop. Think they get homesick more than other nationalities
Agree, certainly not in the Prem. I think it’s too fast paced for them.
I think they also miss their mommas cooking

If we dont sign a back up for rodri we are idiots.
Ederson captain tonight even though he wants out.
Not a good sign for phillips, mbete and wilson esbrand they are dropped after poor midweek performances. They all need to move on for their own sakes.
derby day the scores were level,
then the goat was fed by neville,
silly boy should know for sure,
feed the goat and he will score!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Three sentences I agree with but many won't.

Ederson captain by default most senior player on the pitch. Don't believe all the click bait, or even Pep's comments... Pep hasn't actually confirmed "Eddy" wants away.... simply that he won't stand in his way IF he wants to go.
Pep knows how's to play the press most of the time, saying something ambiguous, that then the press take as gospel.... " I am nearer the end than beginning" that they or their readers took as he isn't extending.

Pep did say Ederson had asked to explore other options.

If Rodri is not going it means Fatty Philips might be staying.
We really are a weird bunch at times.

If we don't buy a back up, I would rather have he staying here because I can't see any youths getting a go.

Can’t see any point in keeping Phillips. Every time he plays he’s shite. I suppose Kovacic can play DM. Personally I’m disappointed we didn’t get Guimaraes but it was a high price. Why haven’t we gone for a RB though? Not another season of Walker playing high right and showing his technical flaws.

Another shambolic transfer window. We need a A-list signing and keep our best players. Ederson, Alverez and Bob have to stay. Phillips needs to do one along with Nunes.

We're not even half way through the window, the first two weeks of which was the Euros, any decent a listers are still on their holidays.......

The point being he is no worse than Phillips and we sold him for £10.5m and bought Phillips for nearly £50m! He should have been brought in as backup for Rodri.

He would have got injured if he’d stayed with us? Didn’t know the world worked like that.
