Have to disagree with that, there are many critics you just have to read his thread.

Oh boy... it's not like we are a poor side, are we?

I doubt it's a complete piss take. It might have been a light-hearted remark (an odd one), but it bears some truth imo. Even if he hadn't said that, I would still maintain that since he's fallen off a cliff he's looked too nervous and shaky. Can't have that in a CB aspiring to start for a top club. All our best CBs have been ones who just don't give a fuck.

Lol wtf... Whether Sarri should have said that or not is one thing (probably shouldn't have, will destroy AC's confidence even more), but this also shows why I've been thinking he isn't cut for it. He seems too weak and soft mentally and physically to be a truly class CB. It's one thing for a striker to crumble after making a mistake, but it's another thing for a CB to lose his shit when something goes wrong. You can go for at least 0-0 with a shit striker, but not with a CB who questions his every decision. CB simply can't be a snowflake in the EPL.

Infuriatingly pathetic to read that there is even anything to consider. I bet they are including Drinkwater and perhaps even Bakayoko in this consideration, when they should have been already sold and not even bought in the first place. Down the mediocrity drain we go.

Been watching a bit of Air Crash Investigations on National Geographic (brilliant show) and plane crashes really are the worst kind.

Think it was a 2 year loan at Milan, Atleti bought him for good. Or did Milan buy him from us?

Atletico doing us another solid. First Torres, then Costa, now Morata... superb club.

I can understand that because we're buying and not loaning him, but his impact will be smaller than Higuain's. His position is already well covered with Jorginho and he will be mainly keeping the bench warm for him, while Higuain will slot straight into our XI and will offer something that nobody has offered this season. In terms of instant impact Higuain excites me more.

I'm optimistic that next season will be much better if we keep at it. Sarri having full pre-season with the whole squad, board doing some more good moves in the market and we will be in a much better situation than we were last summer or this season in general.

This is also a clear sign of the board listening to and backing Sarri. Jorginho, Kepa, now Higuain and soon Pulisic (hey they asked his opionion ). Could be worse, especially the first two were nice surprises. If we also got Paredes that would make it 5 already. We're slowly getting in players for his style, I think if this continues, then it's worth to have some patience and wait and see how it plays out with Sarri once we have some more new players in. I also think we can now ease a bit with our criticism of the board not backing him, actions are speaking otherwise. We will still need to revisit the striker situation this summer though, Higuain and Giroud are not sustainable for another full season, we will need to go in big for someone.

I read that it is an option to extend for 12 months, but will become obligatory when some conditions are met (goals, appearances and such). Gives him some extra incentive to perform quickly.

If that's true then that's an incredibly smart deal. 6 month loan, possiblity to extend if he doesn't suck, option to buy. Perfect.

I'm not a chemist so I don't know about that What transfers has that reporter gotten right before?

Haven't seen that post, need some context here..

How reliable?

We also use newspaper talk when it fits our arguments. When it doesn't, we dismiss it. I've been here long enough to know that's exactly how it works. I've seen it hundreds of times people treating as facts articles/tweets that fit their thinking, but dismiss everything that contradicts it. Nothing new here, human psychology at work. Who would I spend that £35m on? I don't know, but it adds enough finances to buy a proper replacement. I don't trust our board to do it, but it is a good offer for a wantaway unproven youngster. Provided he wants to leave of course, then grab it and run and hope he flops miserably.

I enjoy reading @MUTU's arguments and opinions much more than the posts belittling him. We don't like Bayern snooping in our business, I get that, but it's not his fault if CHO actually wants to leave. Us getting the reported £35-40m for him would be good considering he's just a potential and has done fuck all to justify a price tag for which we got Kante for.

Hell knows, he hasn't admitted doing it, but this "bug" was brought to his attention last summer, yet here we still are. It's pretty obvious it's been done on purpose. My theory is that he wants the forum to die to free server space because it doesn't bring enough ad revenue and donations have dried out. It's all about that yellow piss on TC's main site now.

Yes some are

Yeah, agree with the first part, but that doesn't change that BM's lure might be big enough to turn his head. Don't agree with the last part, that wouldn't benefit anybody and would be pettily spiteful... If he wants to leave, then it would benefit us more to get as much money as possible for him.

Here comes Bayern Munich telling Callum they are fully convinced of his abilities. Meanwhile his boyhood club had been saying he wasn't ready and was forced to watch a washed up emoji warrior miscontrol the ball until the club was forced to insincerely change their rhetoric. I'm not at all surprised if CHO's head's turned.

Who the fuck is Rogerio? Would he be good enough to bench Alonso and improve our starting XI?
