Really good age profile, stunning ball carrier, and good creator. Debate to be had as to whether he’s AS good as his output suggests but if you get 60% of it he’ll still be pretty good at this level

I’m okay with Semenyo & Mbeumo purely because of versatility, don’t necessarily believe they’re worth those fees but I can see why you’d pay it. Elanga however, if he goes anywhere for £60m I genuinely believe that would be the worst spend of money in a football context ever

Every year Swans have a bad performance in pre season and every year it means bugger all. Who honestly cares?

Swansea could get slammed 5-0 on the opening day and pre season losses still have absolutely 0 bearing on that. It’s a training exercise and if you’re gonna watch it like it’s competitive then best you probably get a life

At this point, what’s doing more damage than sexist pigs is the continuous comparison’s that the media draws constantly between the men and women’s game. Just let them enjoy it without constantly being compared ffs

I think he’s got real untapped potential as a No.9 and I think we’ll see some of it next season. Don’t think it’s ever gonna work here but hopefully he does well and can get a good move next summer

Spending big money on near 33 year olds when PSR comes into effect at this level, probably isn’t the smartest thing to be doing. There’s a reason that every club at this level signs young players you’re not beating the system lads

If Reading put this out it’d be slated. Rubbish

Despite his tally his xG is actually higher than Kone which is surprising. Can definitely see how we’ve landed on him given his dribble/carry numbers are fairly similar to Kone

For those moaning about Sheehan and the style of play, philosophy and identity come from far more than what we do on the pitch. This idea that we should always have more possession than the other team and we can’t play any differently needs to die because it’s gonna hold us back

0 second half shots, almost like Sheehan should never have had the job? lol

aye up the swans

I’m all for giving managers a chance and all that and it’s one game and I’ve defended managers for similar performances, but I don’t think enough has been made of the fact we spent the entire second half 1-0 down on Saturday and had 0 shots. That is absurd

Why are people worried about having too much depth? Are you not aware that there are 50+ games and we started Jay Fulton last Saturday

I think Spurs not getting MGW/Eze should be a real blessing in disguise. It’d be a deal similar to Solanke last summer - who I’d argue it’s all but impossible for him to pay that transfer fee back, especially after a bad first season

The most West Ham signing in the history of West Ham signings
