Makes sense. I stand corrected!

Lot of nostalgia for Sagna, and recency bias for White. Strip both of those and IMHO Bellerin is clear.

The level he showed before he blew out his knee was top shelf. He’d fit right into our setup today, having the ball skills to bomb up and down the flank, sit centrally and recycle the ball. The crossing would need work but that was improving as he got older.

This won’t bode well for Gabi J’s relationship with the Brazilian fans. He’s been on their shit list for some time now due to suspect performances for the Selecão…being a starter in a historic loss can’t be good for his prospects going into the next tournament.

We signed and sold Yann M’Vila, Yoann Gourcuff, Salomon Kalou and Gonzalo Higuaín…
