Which Woolwich player would you choose to date your sister or daughter?
Fed up...?
Nah mate, I get fed up if I burn the roast potatoes...
This was nothing LIKE fed up!
Can't name a single one of theirs now... though would've taken Rice BEFORE he went there...
But of all time, I'd take Bergkamp.... he was a Spurs fan anyway, apparently!
If it’s purely first 11 then Saliba, Saka, Martinelli are the obvious.
Not sure I would swap Bentancur for Rice. Bentancur was our best player along with Kane in a somewhat miserable period, he is similar to Rice in his positional brilliance and playing the box to box role but far better on the ball than Rice. Bentancur could in theory become our best midfielder if he properly recovers and that is no disrespect to Sarr who has done well but Bentancur can dominate other teams midfields even very good ones almost on his own, put him like that with Bissouma and Maddison and our midfield is City level.
Partey is almost as good as Bissouma but the guy is a cunt. Maddison-Bissouma-Bentancur is for my view slightly better than Odegaard-Partey-Rice. Where Woolwich are better is depth and wide forwards. Depth is where if Arse come above us will be the reason, we need to fix our depth.

Forgot about Martineli. Bit of an upgrade on what we have.
Yeah it’s all opinions. I think most neutrals would say Saka is better. He is lazy tracking back & defending like when Maddison got past him. Kulu is better defensively but they are mostly in the team for their attacking player & to me Saka is better.
As you say though. You can have a player not as good but more suited & effective for your team than the better player.
I like Romero but he can be reckless & do dodgy stuff. I think it was him against United who was lucky not to give a pen away like against Woolwich. Big games & he is a bit erratic. Where as saliba is a bit more composed & reliable. I think we overrate Romero a bit. I think the same with Gabriel. He is a bit Erratic & Woolwich fans overrate him. I think saliba makes him look better than he is.
Oedeegard I didn’t rate much but his numbers were really good last season. So can’t really say he isn’t good. I wouldn’t be surprised if he doesn’t top last Season like when Ramsey had that one amazing season. But who knows.
Biss & rice is close. I’d say rice better offensively & biss better defensively.
So you seem confident we will finish ahead of them with our better players.
None. Ever.
This is a joke thread, not meant for serious comment !!
One of their keepers so we can get rid of Forster. Vic would remain no.1 obviously
It is, and it isn't, in a sort of Schrodinger way. Game of two halves, fifty fifty ball, win some lose some. From ye olden days, I agree re Bergkamp - he would have been good to grab. I might have said Henry, but I'm Irish and he's too handsy. Also he nicked a parking space I was aiming for when I was dropping my daughter off at school one day, the flash git, so screw him.
You could always open it up to terrible Spurs players to offload on a naive and trusting Gooner boss with a fat chequebook.
All very interesting but we don't sign players from Woolwich unless they are relegated, then we could maybe!!
I think it's a lot closer this season than last. Fitness and their progress in the CL will have a huge say on it, much more so than which team has the best 11.
I'm not sure about Martinelli. Think he flatters to deceive a fair bit. He's very quick/skillful, but not sure he contributes a massively?
Also Rice, I'd agree with your "right now" for Sarr although the boy givess 100% for the whole game, and only Bentancur because of the injury. I honestly don't think I could choose Rice OVER the Bentancur of the start of last season or 21-22. I'd have him as competition for the spot.
Laura Woods.
I would let her dominate me so hard.
I think I'd go for Rice and no others, and insert into the transfer contract a clause stipulating that the Goons can only sign Harry Kane as a goalie.
Erm, I assume that Harry couldn't even catch a train. The last thing we want is a 43 year old Harry being the unholy love child of Bob Wilson and David Seaman on steroids.

Laura Woods in sausage-related action:
The presenter got involved in a social media spat after a fan criticised Woolwich's decision to sign Declan Rice from West Ham in a £105million deal. Woods, who is a Gunners fan, helped the Premier League club announce the transfer by appearing in a short video.
Woods responded to the fan by calling him a "sausage", but her comment was removed by Instagram because it goes against their guidelines on "hate speech". The former talkSPORT star was flabbergasted by her warning and shared it with her followers.

Saliba would be decent back-up for Romero, excellent centre-back to be fair.
