Much better squad than when they actually won it.

Love Bruno.

Does he play as a striker for Portugal too?

Danilo, Moutinho and Sanches as back up too. Helluva squad that.

He’s gonna love playing with a proper midfield, bless him

To be fair, if you ignore his huge numbers of goals and assists, ignore his relentless energy and pressing, ignore his tracking back, ignore his personality to lift teams, ignore his vision, and his dead-ball ability, he's arguably trash.

Dreadful pass completion stats, I’ve heard.

The real question is what are his pass-to-assists like? Or even his sprints?

Its the "arguably" that really makes this post what it is

Rooney.

RvP, for about 7 months..

Saturday must have been one of the world class days.

Zlatan
Van Persie
Rooney
Ronaldo
Keane
Eric
Robbo

Longevity of impact, bit different, so it's gotta be Rooney.

I'd remove big Zlat from that list and have included Ruud. But definitely agree that he's the best signing since Rooney.

Most goal involvements out of everyone in the Premier League since February 2020 hasn't he?

Not bad for a player that plays like he's been out on the lash half the time.

Surely we can all agree he’s comfortably our best post-Fergie era signing?
