He clearly speaks about players who can play double pivot. MM and Kai play as front 3.

First couple of weeks of pre season no one from our 4 midfielders will be here. 3 on vacation after EURO and Billy on loan. So RLC, Gallagher and Bakayoko will fill the spot. Probably someone else as well.

Excited to see Leeds next season. They finish strong this season and defensively improved a lot. With good transfer window they could challenge for Europe.

21 players played that game. RLC came in at HT and got injured after less than 25 mins. I never understood any critics for club or Sarri about this game more than 2 years ago and even less that people are still speaking about it. CHO got same injury in the game so it happens. Just bad luck... When we had 17 days between games arranging one friendly was perfectly logical thing to do. You may say we could do it in London or closer but guess what, some of our players went to USA on their own, on free weekend just to see NBA game so it's not a big deal anyway. And game had a good cause.

I don't expect anything to happen in the next 3 weeks. Maybe 3rd GK would be fine.

And this is why I said season and a half. Mourinho winning season amazing, and in Conte winning season he played just less than 40% of all minutes in the league. No one was good when we finished 10th and in 2nd season with Conte he was also very average. Liability defensively at times. His mistakes lead to 2 Barca goals in CL in 17/18.

Yeah, but he was very good here only for season and a half. Even Giroud is bigger legend in my book.

80m 😂

When we sign Haaland for +150m will you still complain that we did not sign wing back for 80m in the same window?

Why not Blanc? Unlike Poch he always delivered Ligue1 at least.

He missed last 3 months of the season. If you look his minutes he played mins equal to 24 games. 6 goals, 10 assists and 2 pens won in that time is absolutely great. Only KDB, Bruno and Kane finished with more assists but still close so if he did not get injured he would definitely end on top. In February I thought he would win POTY but that award usually goes to player from champion's team. Players like him get free pass at defending. I mean, he is the closest thing to Ronaldinho from 03-06.

Thanks, Barack...

If they call him for Olympics can we do anything to stop that? Because he is in U23 category...

For me this price for Haaland is believable. Every rumour offer including us, City and Real is 110-115m. Next year they will get 75m so this is fair. 40m extra for one season is more than enough. 175m price tag not likely.

Any idea when pre season starts?

Why so much cases in UK? After heavy vaccination?

Possible Gilmour replacement. Gallagher is better tho...

Well if Rice is 80m he is 200m worth.

Typical Juve hahaha This is where we should step up... Give them 45m and finish the job. We have good relationship with them after Boga.

Yet on last page you blamed Marina for Hakimi wanting PSG? And here we go again... She is just a negotiator... What in your opinion is she suppose to do? Even if he wants to come here, should we really spend 85m on wing back? Trying to involve Alonso is perfectly logical thing to do. But it is not like she decides how much are we going to spend anyway... Usually I like transfer windows and I am really involved in that during summer but this time for the first time I am totally relaxed. We are European Champions, we have amazing squad... But we will get a couple of new players... No doubt...

Still expect 2 or 3 more games in July.

For years I am reading how he is defensively liability yet he is major part of a team and NT with best defense in the world.
