Another fucking injury... We're really about to start another season with a defense consisting of Azpi, Alonso, Kepa, and the same CB's if Silva isn't up to speed in time. 😂😂😂 You just have to laugh or you'd cry.

I'll probably make that exact post everyday this week.

Our announcement midday today, I can feel it. 👍🏼

Announcement tomorrow. For the 60th time.

We were never going to sell Kante under any circumstances I don't think. It is weird how we've hear nothing about Jorginho's situation since Sarri was sacked. Surely he'd be of interest to many clubs but I guess nobody can afford him in this climate. He's too good a player to be back riding our bench.

Yeah, seeing Kepa coming out to claim an aerial ball and flapping badly for another season would suck. I don't doubt that a fresh start in a new season can see him regain his shot stopping form that we saw under Sarri, but you can't fix being short and physically soft. Every team we play will gameplan specifically around winning as many free kicks and corners as possible to exploit Kepa's softness.

Yeah, I can see all of the big sides struggling early due to lack of prep with their best players. All of us will have huge numbers of players away with their national teams while small clubs are working in training with most everyone available. Combine that with all the new signings and it may take weeks or a month before we see Chelsea/City/Liverpoll/United etc playing their best football. Dont be shocked if Brighton look sharper than us in the first match. Players like Havertz and Silva may only get a couple of training sessions in.

The club are really going to make us wait until after the international break to announce this by the look of it. 😩😩😩

Barca just blowing up their whole team. A lot of their moves need to happen because they're at the end of a cycle, but wow. They're going to be a totally new team soon. Messi, Suarez, Rakitic, Vidal all leaving. Pique and Nusequets are probably nearing the end. Who knows what's going to happen with Coutinho. Might be quite a rough patch for them coming up.

Maybe he secretly did all that yesterday when he skipped Leverkusen training?

Damn. Even if we have to wait for his in-person unveiling and all the pageantry, I hope we can at least officially announce it this week.

Yeah, VDB offers pretty much the exact same things as Mount. A hard working, tidy, trustworthy midfielder you can plug in and always get a solid contribution from.

Is that €50m for a pair of signed boots?

Yep, seems like this is signed, sealed, and done. I pray the club doesn't make us wait another week for him to return from international duty. 😂 We're probably just waiting for Bayer to announce Schick first or something. Let their supporters have a bit of excitement to offset the disappointment of losing their star.

United fans are so desperate for ANY signing that they're celebrating as if Van de Beek is a worldie. I rate him, but he's not even going to be in their first XI more often than not. They're basically paying £40m for a backup to Penandes.

Sancho will get more attention because I'm sure he will take the "legendary #7 shirt" and the media will go crazy for that romantic bullshit. But I predict Kai will be much more influential to our team than Sancho is for them. Both will be top, top players but for our team I'd rather have Havertz.

Would be a bit of a downer to end the window with Kepa remaining as our #1 or with us buying a new keeper to "compete" with him. We don't need competition, we need a clear upgrade. Would be almost funny if we don't upgrade our most glaring need in our highest spending summer ever. Can already picture Thiago Silva throwing his hands up and saying "oh, come on!" when Kepa lets in a bunch of easy goals. Really, I just don't want to see literally every opponent regardless of stature playing for setpieces and corners to target our keeper. We had relegation fodder and shithouse clubs with -30 goal differences coming against us and scoring by targeting our small, weak keeper. That can't happen again.

Watch, I bet we'll get a cheeky picture of Kai and either Werner or Rüdiger smiling and laughing together in Germany training before any announcement. 😂

Tomorrow FC

Lot of Chelsea fans on Twitter freaking out because he's there and not in London. 😆 I think everything is already settled anyways. And even if it weren't he could have his medical there with the DFB doctors.

I think he's going to absolutely feast against the smaller teams in this league. Just like I feel Werner and Ziyech will. Be interesting to see how he gets on against the top sides. Hard to say how he will do playing against so many quality sides since the Bundesliga isn't as deep. He only had to play against 2-3 top quality sides there whereas here we have about 8-9. I really don't see how he fails or is a bust, tbh. There's just too much quality around him for that and his skill set is perfectly tailored to English football.

Looks nice but I thought our 3rd kit was already leaked? That gross red one.

VDB will be a very nice signing for their depth but I don't think he even gets into their starting XI. Still, he's a good player to have for big games. Actually kind of surprised that United will make the smart signing here rather than spending 60-80m on Jack Girlish who is super overrated. Actually, knowing United they'll sign him too. 😆

Bet we're going to see some ultra shady shit from City to make the Messi wages work under FFP. They'll suddenly renegotiate a bunch of their sponsorships so that the Sheiks' own companies pay City more. Nike or whoever their with will renegotiate their shirt sponsorship to help them. I'm to laugh if they still choke in the CL even with Messi.

Closer FC like you keep saying, @Jason 😂 Imagine being a Leverkusen fan and seeing your two best goal scorers leave within days. Why would they sell Volland?
