Martial leaving confirmed

Nice little stat. If we win the FA Cup, we'd have averaged a trophy a season for 15 years.

Van Ginkel has captained and led PSV to the league title. Now many would think we'd give him a proper chance next season. Wrong. He'll sell for 7 million and we will buy Livermoore for 40 million.

Trust the process

Good. Nasty challenge. Hopefully Emerson will get a proper chance now.

Would of been legit if it had been Cesc instead of Drinkwater. Cesc is virtually undroppable.

I disagree. Rudiger for me was solid throughout. Only the occasional hiccup. Felt Dave was beaten far too easily this season, even by some bang average players. This is a guy who is known for being the most versatile defender on the planet and one of the best man to man defenders. Needs to go back at RB.

No way. Love the bloke, but he's been rubbish for his standards. Needs to go back at RB next season and made captain.

Nope. Nether was Zappacosta. Baffeling really. I personally think Rudiger was one of our better performers this season. Him and Kante really.

Bare knuckle box.

Storts is the joker, whereas Teso is merely one of the escaped lunatics from Arkam. Minds that are attracted to each other.

We only lost 1 in 04/05 Conceded the fewest in history, most wins in history and got the most points in history. All before Mourinho and his heritage nonsence.

Odoi is something special.

Honestly baffled Conte is still here.

I mean a team with 40-50 rated players and grow them all to world class players

You lot really need to try starting a team full of youth players and scouted future stars from the catalogue. It really is rewarding. Start from the bottom and grow them into world beaters. For the criteria of youth players when you send your scout out, for midfielders make sure it is for 'technically gifted'. The football I have been playing has been the best in any FIFA franchise. Into my 4th season with Sampdoria and my squad looks like this. Amante (83) Biviano (81)---------------------------De Nucci (80) Torreira (85)-------------Alonso (79) Ferrari (82) Saraachi (84)---Ricci (88)---Mammana (84)---Rizzo (77) Leno (88)

Even towards the end of last season i stated Alonso and Moses aren't good enough, because any sensible person would realise we benefited massively from not being in Europe and our formation not being found out. If we were to compete on all fronts, they needed upgrading, to which we didnt. You can see I stated this back in May and June of last year. Alonso at best is a squad player and Moses isn't good enough. Zappacosta should be ahead of him with Dave as 1st choice.

Alonso's defensive flaws and inability to beat a player combined with Moses's horrific decision making is more of a concern than who we have at #9.

That first goal you conceded against Augsburg may be one of the funniest things ive ever seen

Failing to upgrade our wingbacks, in a system where we are heavily dependent on them, and buying average players is the most damaging. No one was complaining about Morata before his injury against City

Because Costa is setting the world a light in Spain right now. He's also definitely a 2nd half season player as well.

A black Achillies? Can't really fathom that. Troy fall of a city. 2/10.

To scapegoat him is ridiculous. Everyone bar Kante and Rudiger haven't been up to speed. Luke summarised it well. We play a very defensive/organised style, to which needs a lot of concentration from our back line. Doing this literally every game, there are mistakes bound to occur. How the hell do you learn if you don't make mistakes? I'd love to see a flat four of Emerson--Rudiger---Christensen---Azpilicueta

Can see him heading to PSG.

As great as it has been for Christensen to become a regular, we have missed David Luiz this season. His character and big game performances are dearly missed.
