    Only thing similar to Droga is he's black and played for Chelsea. Totally different strikers and it's why he flopped so hard at Utd because Jose couldn't see it.

    He's the ultimate flat track bully. He will score a fuck tonne of goals against lesser sides but I don't see him having much say in big games against more technically gifted opposition.

    If McDonald's want to associate themselves with fitness they should force them to use fat kids in the advert. It's obscene tbh. Like gambling adverts implying moderation

    I don't think he flopped at United, he was doing alright but Ole clearly wanted a different striker up front and decided to play him on the wing instead, which oddly enough he was shit at. I don't think we treated him particularly well.

    For the amount of money we paid for him and what was expected, he flopped. The amount of attacks that broke down because of his shins was comical. Even before Ole stuck him on the wing.

    The 2nd season under Jose when he bulked into Arnie he could hardly run without having to catch his breath.

    I think we're demonstrably better without him. He had a cracking first season with us and I think he's a decent player but he can be a liability when he's not at it and things aren't totally built around him. He's a little too much of a burden too much of the time for me.

    When he was out of form it's like his feet turned into giant 50p pieces.

    I reckon he will outscore any of our forwards this year and will quite possibly end up top scorer in the league.

    That doesn't mean he didn't flop for us.

    I do rate him though, he was just a disappointment the time he was with us. Just too technically limited.

    He'll tap in goals for fun at Chelsea in the system they play.

    He was in a team with a severe identity crisis that's was struggling to create chances. I think it's unfair to blame that on him.

    Leicester’s turn to pretend this is a proper trophy.

    I don't really think you can consider a striker you've bought to lead your club into a new era, that's had one good season and one below average one and then sold on for cheaper than you bought him much of a success tbh.

    Was just as much us as it was him. But you see what someone like Bruno comes in and does and it kinda makes you laugh at him spending half his time here throwing his arms out and sticking out his bottom lip at every pass that wasn't within 1mm of where he wanted it.

    I see Everton got OG Pickford back safely from the Euros.

    Yeah, it's going to be painful to watch if it ends up as a car crash.

    He was tied to the wing like a Barcelona winger. Grealish game is about wandering.

    I know there are some who shit on Community Shield but to see Kelechi score the winner, in front of a Wembley crowd, after the shit time he's had over the last few years, was special. You could see how much it meant to him to have the fans onside.

    Daka looks great and Amartey good enough to step in for Fofana.

    And we got another fucking trophy. Last 10(ish) years - 3 leagues, FA cup and community shield. To think when a League cup win over Tranmere was our crowning glory.

    Still not a trophy mind. Been to many charity shields and they're great days out. Meaningless though.

    It's quite nice not having to worry about whether its a trophy or not anymore.

    Can leave that to other teams.
