Did you see Moyles on BBC last night complaining that Scotland were too negative and didn't go for it. I nearly choked on my pringles.

[@costahammer48]

£12m for Downes is ridiculous fee. If he was a Southampton player who’s had a huge influence in their promotion and we wanted to buy him, Southampton would be asking £20-25m all day long for him as he’s a crucial player for them 🤷‍♂️

[@akwamarsunzal]

IF you bought the Scotland shirt during the Euros you can probably send it back in the 14 day return rules! 🤣

[@harrycarvell3632]

What a coincidence.. J.David scored the only goal in the Canada vs Peru game! Lets sign him asap ! Good young player!

[@sibeex]

Forget Kilman, forget Foderingham - both crap players. Get Calafiori and use Anang from the reserves. Cmon West Ham sort this out!

[@whiskyman4756]

Just want to pick up on one thing. You said the Flynn Downes deal didn’t work out for us. I’m inclined to disagree. I think it could prove to have worked very well. He probably wasn’t ready for first team football when he arrived but the loan to Southampton has shown that he is a player who could fit nicely into our first team set up. I would be very much against selling him and agree entirely with your comment that £12 million is too little.

[@tonyleatherbarrow627]

Kone and cornet in the team , who next Rossi? Hagen das? I bet there are hundred and thousands out there lol

[@simonbutler1499]

You making up your ear hair for click bait the level some people stoop too is unbelievable

[@howardgroves6436]

Kone has played 40 odd matches for WFC this season. I've seen over half of these. He has grown into the Watford team, better going forward than defensively, and can get bullied a little by some of the more physical sides in the championship. He was nowhere near winning the player of the season award at Watford and fans would not pick him out as one of The Horns top 2/3 players, unlike Downes at Southampton. My view is he needs another season at Watford and track his progression. I'm not sure we don't have better options in our own U21's. Hope that helps Geo.

[@adamthearchitect7195]

Rumour has it that there is some North American investment firm interested in purchasing shares in the club. Apparantly a Canadian Soverign Wealth fund are looking into securing a stake before the 2026 World Cup. is it a coincidence that we're being linked for Canadian players and players from the MLS? maybe... or maybe not!

[@brendanmacdonald7253]

As a Canadian WHU fan/channel supporter it’s a rare opportunity for me to offer some insight. To me Koné’s the type of midfielder that’d do well in the PL. Strong/athletic, well-rounded player that I believe still has a lot of room for improvement having not been over in Europe long.

[@seangardner7112]

As a Canadian WHU supporter, I must say that Kone would be a great signing for us. I followed him at CF Montreal and he has massively improved since he has been in England. Also, I don't think we have seen all that he is capable of yet; I think that he still has a lot of potential yet. He played really well against Argentina and he was the best Canadian player on the pitch for the draw against France a couple weeks ago.

[@chriscolquhoun4250]

Tbf your very good at what you do geo, you never over extend things to get views you keep it authentic and get the topics through your work so I think you should be proud of yourself and the content that you do

[@grelch]

I think it was Russ over at WHN that said he was pretty sure there had been something of a gentleman's handshake between clubs prior to Flynn's loan to Southampton about a transfer fee. That might explain the fee.

[@MarkChippers2193]

This Kone looks good going forward, but I don’t think he does enough defensively and being a box to box midfielder you need to be good up both ends of the pitch. If the plan is to have someone on the bench behind Soucek then I get the signing. If Loppy however wants someone to walk straight into the starting 11 then I don’t think this kid is the answer in the short term at least.

[@Coyi16]

He Looks like a premier league player. Was one of the best players on the pitch vs Argentina

[@simonhughes7141]

So we could be looking at getting a right and left back in if rumours about Johnson and Emerson prove true - shaping up to be quite some rebuild, and obviously be good if most of the new signings are in place for pre-season.

[@jamesnoonan9605]

Feel the buzz! 😂

[@IggyGoesPop666]

Geo ... having just watched Gonzo's latest video ... we are skint!!! So if we only have £50m left to spend there is no point talking about players like Kilman & my fantasy signing Jonathan David. Adam Hlozek has struggled under Alonso at Leverkusen but he might still come good if we can get him on the cheap
