  1. Sanchez to complete his move to Inter Milan tomorrow... https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2020/08/05/alexis-sanchez-complete-permanent-move-manchester-united-inter/
  2. But where is the market for Jorginho? If Sarri gets sacked by Juventus, then I doubt they would want him but even if he doesn't get sacked, will Juventus want to spend big money on Jorginho in this current situation? Other than Juventus, I can't see any other Italian club wanting him or able to afford him. Moreover, Jorginho still has 3 years left on his contract, meaning it is likely that Marina will want to recoup around the same money we spent on him - 50-60 million. Again, who is willing to pay that right now? With Barkley, there is the English market and for better or for worse, English clubs are more likely to spend on English players and given how cheap we got Barkley, Marina will probably be happy if we can get like 20-30 million for him. Heck, if we're lucky, we might even be able to use him in exchange to sign Rice from West Ham.
  3. https://www.arsenal.com/news/club-update-2020 Arsenal just made 55 people redundant and they are gonna offer Willian a 3-year deal plus big wages!? Good luck to them...
  4. But is Jamal Lewis any good? Which striker are they targeting? Again, is he any good? Look past their first XI, their depth is really not that great - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2019–20_Liverpool_F.C._season#First-team_squad
  5. Maybe but then again, Man City did contrive to lose to Norwich, drop points against Crystal Palace and Newcastle. Their record against the Top 7 wasn't the best either.
  6. That they did but it was one game and Barcelona were/are horrible. Can they do it without them over a course of the season? The Klopp factor is big but that will only work for so long, like we saw with Dortmund.
  7. Klopp is gonna have to refresh that XI sooner or later. Salah and Mane turn 29 and Firmino turn 30 next year. Henderson is already 30, Milner is 34 and can't be viable backup for much longer. The likes of Keita, Oxlade-Chamberlain are hit-and-miss, Minamino hasn't convinced, Origi only good as sub.
  8. Leeds will be fun and we'll have to see whether Bielsa's attacking style can hold up in the Premier League, whether that defence can hold their own against better players. And also gotta wonder if Leeds will avoid the usual Bielsa collapse in the second half of the season...
  9. The thing with Liverpool is they don't have great depth and they don't look to be strengthening this summer either. They have been fortunate with injuries but if say Salah, Mane get a serious one, they could be in serious trouble because those two are their main goalscorers. Can their youngsters step up next season? They are still unknown quantity at this point. It is debatable whether they will be far ahead in the Top 2 next season, especially with the lack of depth. As we have seen with Man City and Liverpool (starting around February this year), a club can only sustain a high level performance and win games for so long before everything comes crashing down. They will be placed right up there by pundits, journalists etc next season because they are the champions and all that but whether they can produce another season like this or even last season remains to be seen.
  10. Fulham..heated rivals of ours? Really? QPR are more in that regard if we're talking about clubs from west London.
  11. Fulham in the Premier League again. How boring...
  12. According to The Athletic, United are "determined to retain a disciplined wage structure to maintain a cohesive, happy squad". So...
  13. Also, has anyone noticed a certain big Premier League club has been rather quiet in the transfer market, so far at least? That club is playing with fire for next season...
  14. Is Sancho desperate to leave Dortmund this summer? Last I read he is fine with staying for another season at least, although that was some time back. If that hasn't changed, then United really have no legs to stand on here. Dortmund have all the advantage.
  15. Looks like it. Same story appearing in multiple outlets. Neil Ashton is working overtime...
  16. Huh? There's no danger whatsoever with the HG or non-HG quota.
