Talbi made a huge impact again vs Canada
Talbi delivered another excellent performance yesterday against Canada coming off the bench.
What impressed me the most was not only his quality on the counter attacks, but also how valuable he was defensively. His tracking back, work rate and defensive effort were outstanding.
And then once Morocco recovered the ball, he immediately became dangerous in transition. Direct, intelligent and lethal on the counter.
He keeps making an impact every single time he plays. Top performance again.

Posts or comments featuring serious unfounded speculation are not allowed
As usual in the off season, the amount of best friends barbers cousins who have heard that X is happening has become an annoyance and is filling the mod queue. From now, any talk of someone at the club doing X must be backed with an actual source. We are not RTG or 606 where you can peddle fear and doom to feel important. You are all of course free to discuss transfer rumours as they come

[ Kieran Gill ] New: Chelsea plan to submit second bid for Granit Xhaka despite Sunderland's insistence that their 33yo captain is not for sale. Follows first £8m offer on Saturday which was swiftly turned down.

I struck upon an idea....Xhaka and Diarra
I'd love it (as in mad Kev 'Love it!') if we can keep Xhaka for another season but i don't know if he has the 50+ games in him that we'll need for this season. If we keep him in his defensive mid playmaker role for the league, can Diarra do that job for the European and cup games or are we wasting a £30m player in a secondary role?

[Cerchione] "Today one reads about an alleged offer - reported by those who, until I wrote it, didn't even know that Chelsea were after Xhaka - of eight million pounds from the Blues for the Swiss player, immediately rejected. Xhaka, if the deal closes, will be paid about 30 million euros."

[Alex Crook] Sunderland feel Xhaka is trying to orchestrate an exit, and he’s going to end up getting it optimally. They’re not very happy. Chelsea will come in with another offer.

Talbi is having a fantastic World Cup
Honestly, Talbi is having a fantastic World Cup for Morocco.
Every single time he comes on, he makes a difference. He brings energy, directness, dribbling and real danger in the final third.
Against the Netherlands especially, he was decisive: the assist came at the perfect moment, and then he stepped up in the penalty shootout with so much composure and cold blood.
For such a young player, his confidence on the biggest stage is seriously impressive.
What a player. A genuinely pure talent.

Sunderland turn down Chelsea’s £8m offer for Granit Xhaka, tell them he’s not for sale
Sunderland have turned down an offer from Chelsea to sign Granit Xhaka and informed their Premier League counterparts the midfielder is not for sale at any valuation.
Chelsea’s interest is being driven by new manager Xabi Alonso, under whom Xhaka played at Bayer Leverkusen, and an offer worth £8million (€9.2m, $10.5m) was sent on Saturday.
While Chelsea feel the proposal is fair, Sunderland have deemed it to be unacceptable and regard the approach as lacking respect for both the 33-year-old Switzerland international and Wearside club.

Sadiki (LW) vs Spence (RB)
Think we might be in for a tasty one if Noah has a good game. Could be bittersweet if he scores a banger and puts us out, don't think Spence has been particularly great so far.
