Nicely done. And stop calling me a ****ing lefty! :-)

Very good. But Freddie vs B is the right side's history.

I was being playful... If i was going Corbyn on you I would tell you to get on the right side of history... :-) I assume you have at some point...

Now, now, P, don't get all lefty definitions. Nouns and adjectives. A legend can be a myth. Legendary talent and mythical talent are not the...

Imagine if B had Bergy playing defence splitting passes into the box so he was 1-on-1 from 15 yards with the ball on his left foot.....

I can answer that easily. You said the invincible season. That was 03/04 :-) If you want 2004/5, here you go: 14 goals, 11 assists. Eclipsed by...

And here come the caveats...... assist data below, by the way. But I guess you will say that Saka's are inflated by the excellence of his...

In all competitions... Freddie 2001/2- 17 goals, 5 assists Freddie 2003/4- 10 goals, 9 assists Saka 20212- 12 goals, 7 assists Saka...

And even based on performances solely between the ages of 18-24, Saka outperforms Ljungberg's spell with arsenal in goals (57 to 46) on precisely the...

He needs to be playing more of his football infield. Too often he is receiving the ball out on the line. And his decisions could be more...

As opposed to the longstanding awards voted for by the players or the football writers? Do you know why Freddie won that award and not the other...

Well it hasn't been officially denied. Never believe any rumour until it has been officially denied :-)

We dont have another player like Martinelli. You get the feeling that he has another level in there and if he finds it he will be unstoppable.

Ahem..... Dennis. At Chelsea. Brilliant ball to Vieira. Gets lost under the weight of a hundred brilliant passes. That man was just a genius.....

So do I. Last player I saw make a pass like that with the outside of his right boot was Merse.

No. Van Nistelrooy won the PFA award. Pires won the football writers' award. Those are the two prestigious awards. Freddie won some award I've never...

Dec was a DM originally and could play that role behind PV. As well as making loads of goals from corners, and perhaps taking the off FK. Far...

Well I hope that is what we do.

We dont want his sort. Showboater, plays for himself. United is perfect for him..

I think that is exactly why I choose Gilberto. I dont doubt that Rice is a better player than Gilberto. But the role in that side is about...

Hmmm.... the corners bit is a decent point...

Yeah, the same Ljungberg. That argument is decidedly odd given that Robert Pires won the Player of The Year that season. According to the entire...

Dec's set piece delivery vs Gilby as a double pivot?

I liked Jorgy, too. But no way do we sell Norgy unless he's off to Greenland to fight the Septics.

Hmmmm.....Rice wouldn't get in imo. Gilberto and Vieira are pretty hard to beat. Saliba ahead of Kolo. And I'd pick Saka over Ljungberg.

Looks like Havertz has had another setback :-( I dont believe we'll spend huge sums on another forward. Especially if we are running short of...

In comparison to Raya, yes. I don't think anyone is as good as Raya on that.

Good player, did really well for us.

I'd love a midfielder, if we are going to spend money. Norgaard was a short term solution anyway.

The trouble with that category is it is related to the quality of the replacement. Kepa is actually decent and I think we could cope without Raya. ...
