We should be thanking Bruce's reign for this one. It had naff all to do with that oaf. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am 100% happy to be proved wrong on this by the way. Let’s hope you are proved wrong! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rest will be playing for the minor placings and we'll be fielding our kids at that point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keener window-cleaner Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 Fantastic news! Increadible potential, he looks a bit like Ronaldo the way he runs and dribbles, his technique and ball contraol is top notch, has a great shot, full of running, works hard defensively. There's no limit to how good he can become. Also like that he is so tall, we need all tall players we can get with Jack and McGinn in midfield. Can't believe Lille have let him go, haven't they watched him playing for us? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps all our players should do the Ramadan thing if it makes them play like El Ghazi did at Wembley! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard or read somewhere that he didn't observe Ramadan at Wembley, because he wanted to be at his best. Against West Brom he said he didn't feel like himself. He also said he hopes God will forgive him. I'm pretty sure McGrath is absolutely delighted with the guy, he scored at Wembley! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El Ghazi took a big step to break his fast for the play-off final. I think he was better in the final than when he was fasting during the semis.

Teams spend millions of pounds on dieticians and chefs, but it looks like diet cannot even be discussed as "a lot of people do it". It's something that I'm sure Anwar has to discuss with club staff to help him, but it's not to be disregarded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just don't think its something to be concerned about. The current European Champions have 2 devout muslims top goal-scorers in the team. They seemed to manage. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
