I havenāt seen much of him. I know heās highly regarded. I was under the impression he was more of a #10 temporarily doing a job on the right, rather than a potential replacement for Mo, though.

Not sure what you mean by too many issues.
Heās a top professionalā¦
I have decided to test the theory and have spent the last 20 years bulking up. I can confirm I can shoulder barge old ladies but have lost a yard of speed

Not seen too much of Ekitike. I did see he had a troubled time at PSG, when his loan including an obligation to buy that was triggered when neither he nor PSG really wanted their relationship to continue.
Contracted until 2029 to Frankfurt, so itāll be at least a Ā£50m transfer I suspect.

From Virgil yesterday
I think Liverpool should be able to challenge for titles in the upcoming years," he said after the game.
āWhatever happens in terms of players going out, players coming in, I think it should be a big summer. I think theyāre planning to make it a big summer, so we all have to trust the board, as a Liverpool connected fan, to do the right job.ā

In fairness they are professional athletes. Retaining a body weight range is necessary. Nowhere near as taxing as faced by cyclists, for instance. In the pantheon of difficult working conditions it really doesnāt rate.

It goes the other way as well. What a physique that is ready to perform looks like in lots of sports is often quite different from what people have in their head of the chiseled adonis image. That is true even of some athletes themselves, and its long been part of the job to divert them away from what are often counter productive efforts to get jacked or shredded by players who think that is what they need to perform. Iāve heard from several people their anecdotal experience of this being a bigger problem with this generation of athletes, presumably because of social media exposure

How much of that is down to West Ham being a bit of a basket case club though?

I like Kudos but not Ā£85m like. I was about to type for about Ā£40m I might be tempted then I realised how stupid fees are. Ā£40m being the new Ā£10m.
