Rodri out at least through the first international break, still recovering from the injury he suffered in the CWC. We play them a week later on September 21 so there’s a chance he won’t be involved I guess.

Players getting hurt from that shit made up tournament. More games in the CL. Yet any conversation about fixture overload will probably involve scrapping the League Cup or something.

On a serious note, Cherki is going to be a success there, outstanding business that him and Rejinders cost less than 100m.

Cherki is a baller. Has an old school nonchalant style about him too.

That’s precisely the problem I have with our midfield investment. For Ā£100m they’ve signed two players who would have upgraded our midfield and creative output.

Meanwhile we’ve spent Ā£200m+ on Rice, Havertz, Merino and Vieira and not one of them is better in that left midfield position than Reijnders would have been.

And nobody can tell me Cherki wasn’t worth the risk at that fee with his quality on the ball. There’s an unpredictability about his style that Odegaard doesn’t have

It will bother me forever that we weren’t in for Cherki.

Likely a situation like Haaland, so much money trading hands behind the scenes that the player only has one interest.

Chavski and the Scouse lot liked him, Madrid and Man U were also supposedly interested and he went for £30m - nothing to see here

Worth Cherki-ing out where the money trail goes. Or not if you wish to live :berta:
