He's going to improve on last season and we will now concede from the second shot of target.

And only get sent off in the second most important game of the season.

I for one am absolutely delighted he’s staying.

Get Onana Kamara Garcia and Barkley fit together with the new incomings I’m a lot less concerned.

There is still time to offload him to Turkey or Saudi

Yep. I feel better than I did yesterday, even before the game.

He’s acted a twat from what we have read. He’s going to have to accept the consequences from how fans decide to feel about it all and vent their frustrations. Having said that he’s still an excellent keeper. He has to get himself right in the head and come back and be a leader. We need his talents more than ever right now.

If he was an excellent keeper, he’d have been snapped up. He was good at one point like so many footballers.

He may be again, but it’s been quite a while. Right now, he’s underwhelming and error-prone.

What do you think about this?

 "Martinez would also have cost United twice as much as Lammens and would have demanded wages in the region of £200,000-a-week. Against that backdrop, and with United needing to spend cautiously to comply with PSR rules having already spent more than £200m this this summer, Lammens was considered the best option."

We actually do not know if he's acted like a twat, though. There is plenty of 'smoke' around the handling of the window to make that not cut and dried.

Also, whatever he's done, it's not even in the same fucking postcode as Gareth Barry and Liverpool and that Evening Mail front page about letting him follow his dreams.

That was 10 times as bad, and we accepted him 'back'.

He was voted best keeper in the world just last year. Having won it the year before.

I have no idea what a 'leader' constitutes in football. The ones they bestow the title upon always just seem to be the most objectionable twats in the team. But I doubt anyone will be 'following' him if he's been acting the twat as we suspect.

That’s why I said from what we’ve read. And specifically that he tried to force a move away. Then there was yesterday where he clearly didn’t want to play. Made worse that Guehi played for Palace and brilliantly to our cost on the verge of a move to Liverpool. But it’s also entirely possible there is much more to it. And as I argued earlier, it’s not remotely as bad as Barry let alone ****** like Hodge, Downing, Yorke.

Yeah and Boris Johnson and Keir Starmer have both been voted in to lead our country.

It seems a reasonable stance, but they would have known that a while ago. So did it anyway to try and fuck us over on the transfer fee. Maybe .

And that’s not the worst thing they’ve done to us today. Shitehouses.

We’ll accept him back - frankly after watching Bizot under most crosses last night I’m relieved. I think Bizot is a good back-up keeper but that’s it.
