Should have just signed him in the summer when he wanted to come and would have been much cheaper. Meh

I was thinking of throwing £20 on him to score a hat trick today but got bored. I hope I won't regret it too much.

So as it stands, looks like England’s game against USA is going to be the boring 0-0 one of the day.

I completely agree with what you've been saying, just think it would be hilarious if Senegal and Ecuador end up going through.

Hopefully Ecuador can replicate the cohesion and fluidity they showed in the 1st half against Qatar. What also impressed me was their maturity and game management. It's most certainly going to be an interesting game.
Ecuador unlucky that the game wasn't the day opener. The excessive heat would have played to their advantage. Likewise, the Dutch have been spared the worst fixture times for them.

Every game making me uneasy whether we will be able to snap him up. Not just price but many other clubs too line up for him.

I'm a few minutes late here... I presume there have already been calls to so sign Gakpo...

Oh on this forum :lol:

Im not fussed about that tbh. Given he basically admitted he spoke to ETH but it didnt go through is disappointing. Its going to cost us more long term not getting him in the summer given ETH was watching him.

In terms of it not going through, was that because he rejected us as wanted to stay at PSV or PSV didn’t want to sell him or we we went for Antony instead and could not afford the both of them?

I think it was the latter. I think ETH had to choose either Gakpo or Antony and Antony was his 1st choice
