nono

The whole club is dysfunctional. Managers keep coming and going. Talented youngsters are loaned out and then sold for marginal profits. Mediocre players continue to start due to support inside the club.

Terry, Cahill and Ivanovic are not Premiership players any more. If the club doesn't want to buy defenders they should just let the youth team play. If they start I'm going to be upset.

I'm not terribly excited. Just another player of the Ramires and Mikel mould. Great defensively but won't help us against teams that defend with 10 men. So far the window has been an unkown striker and Kante. An OK transfer window which might turn out to be BAD if our rivals end up getting better players, which is going to be the case if the United and City deals for Pogba and Sane/Stones are completed.

Things could be worse I guess. Look at Arsenal.

4 more years of suck.

Deschamps is such a retard. Kante should have been starting protecting the back four and Pogba should have been playing further forward, especially against this Portugal team that was expected to sit back and defend. Huge mistake that cost them the game imo.

that fucker kia garbagechan is again ruining us

For a long while we have been spending loads of money on these middling types of players, hoping on their potential rather than their current ability. I fear we are being left behind by the better teams in Europe, and this was shown in the abysmal Champions League campaign last year.

The team needs a very strong character as coach who can force his will because there are lots of charlatans behind the scenes all trying to push the club in different directions. So I feel he is a good choice but I am still worried about the season. If we do bad I am afraid the knives will be out early.

His biggest problem was being so lightweight in defense. It's like he isn't even there and you're playing with 10 men.

What more likely is happening is that they are unable to find a buyer for him at a decent price and are hence forced to keep him. I'm pretty sure if someone offered even 40m euros they'd sell because there's no place in the team for him with benzema, bale and ronaldo

I can feel the bile rising when I read this transfer rumor. Andre fucking Gomes for 45m. bahahahahha

Our reputation has suffered very badly imo due to the terrible season we've had. Add to the fact that we keep firing our managers and loan out youngsters and now we're going to have trouble convincing young talent to join.

At least they are overpaying for quality. We go and overpay for decent players who are nothing special, i.e. 30m pounds for Willian,

What will they do to Maestro Wayne though ? You can't have two maestros in midfield. There's only one violin. Both Mozart and Salieri can't play.

Yeah except that he doesn't really look that good. If the talent was incredible everyone would be on this but I don't see what is so special about him.

Sell him, WIllian and Cuadrado and voila, we have money for Pogba.

He is agent saboteur. Ruined us and off to our rivals. Very suspicious.

Costa is defninitely gone as well. Worrying that we are going to be placing the goal scoring burden on two inexperienced strikers.

It's fantastic he didn't because he would have pissed it all away.

How does this make any sense ? I am happy to have him, we can never have enough players imo but isn't CM and defense a much bigger priority after the Batshuayi deal ?

Hard to believe we paid 30m euros for him. What a debacle.

The person reading the offer was high and saw 4m instead of 40m. When he sobered and saw the 0 he missed out, he must have shat himself.
