United finished 7 points ahead of us last season. They add Sancho and Varane plus will add MF. Linked with Camavinga, Rice, Saul. And RB - Trippier. While we are doing nothing? Hoping new players from last season will come good is dangerous game. From last season Mendy and Silva did almost perfect. Chilwell was very solid, no one really expected more from him. I am sure Kai will be much, much more effective. Not so optimistic about Werner and problem with Ziyech is that can we really afford to give him more game time? Last season he played just 1900 mins with 6g and 4a which is solid. But I feel Werner, Mount, Pulisic will be ahead of him. We should improve and refresh squad in terms of quality. But not only striker. For example we have Guehi, Tomori sold, ok nice but now sell Zouma and I see many fans be like Sarr or Ampadu can fill the spot. I disagree with that. We should buy top, world class CB who is ranked ahead of Rudi, Chris... And they fight for spot in defense... This is what top teams do. Liverpool have VVD and Gomez back but they also add Konate. City have Laporte on the bench. UTD scored 15 goals more than us and they add Sancho who is 20g, 20a per season player. It is naive to think we have great defense and midfield, no new players needed there. But average players are indeed not needed. We need one new world class player in every line. Before Hakimi signed for PSG I genuinely believed our transfer window could be something like this: Varane/Romagnoli, Hakimi, Locatelli/Tielemans, Haaland. At the moment looks like Hakimi and Haaland are off and we will sign lower quality CB and MF than expected.

Same thing happened to James Franco. Nothing happened in the end because he didn't knew her age or she lied she is older.

What happened to Romagnoli? We sent big offer in 2016, he now lost his place in Milan and Italy and has one year left on contract. 25m should do it. Nobody wants him?

Lamptey got a shot and did good but still nothing changed.

Newcastle will get relegated. Do we really want to give him another loan like that?

Who do you trust more? 🤔 I was counting 3 weeks - 21 days vacation. Doesn't really matter, let's see if they show up today.

Barca fans bagging Griezmann in his latest post on instagram to stay.

Kova, Kante should join tomorrow. 3 German players the day after.

20m pounds is incredible job.

Fans and people in general are always against changes. Changing to 30mins a half with stopping time every time when corner, foul, set piece, out, sub is the best thing that could happen to football. No more wasting time. Today on average football game is effective play 55 mins out of 90. And after that ref give 3 or 4 or 5 mins added time? Wtf? I definitely agree with first two.

Grealish to City not certain. They try to sell Sterling first but no buyers.

Lewandowski is best striker in the world. I would pay 100m for him this summer with 4 years contract and in 2025 he could leave for free and it would be worth it. I followed his workouts and nutrition and he is one of the most prepared players out there. Cavani and Ibra delivered in PL while older so no problem.

But why Sterling? We have 3 or 4 better options for RB/RWB just from the academy.

They are not deadwoods, they are youngsters. Especially Gallagher talented one. Zappacosta could be useful.

Are we back to 7 players on bench this season? Because if we are I don't see place for Rice in 18 players. 2 Ballon d' Or candidates starting, Kova on the bench and that is it.

Why Bakayoko didn't play?

Yes, Ziyech will do Jorginho this season 😎

Never understood how can he waste whole career in Bundesliga? I know, one of the greatest teams ever, big money but he won everything there, doesn't he want to try something new?

How can anyone say top4? We have been top4 last 3 seasons. Plus all the investments and just won CL. We absolutely have to fight for title. I am tired of giving up on league in December.

Gap on City is just 7 points if you count only TT time. Timo/Kai have conversation rate of big chances 20-25%. If they go 55-60% which is still nothing special just average the gap is closed. Our best bet is to have same amazing defense like last season and big part of job is already done.

Wonder will Pep use Grealish as LW or one of two attacking midfielders?

Then we will wait for 22th but we still do not know the opponent!

IF I am not wrong Chelsea:Fulham 8:2 a couple of years ago was also behind closed doors but Chelsea twitter account followed the game with lineups, subs, goals...

GAME DAY! Will any journos provide some coverage? More than anything I hope Gallagher shines. Also, no more fucking around, full pre season... Puli, Ziyech, CHO better step up this season, this is their chance.
