OR we get good players, like actually good players, do well in the season and Hazard decides to stay on instead. A worthy game this.

Chill first. There's still a chance we'll end up with Butland and Rodwell instead!

Why would he, TBH? He's at a stable club, consistently challenge for major honors and plays for a manager who is in control of everything.

So instead of Hazard sending the board into frenzy mode, it's Courtois who did it. If everything comes off, then we gotta thank him for being a bellend.

Didn't Conte go into his first season with just Costa and Batshuayi? Granted there was Costa but still, there was only 2 strikers back then.

To be fair, Courtois' sale to Real covers half of that fee.

Isn't the section still there below Multimedia?

Oh the decision to let Cech go for Courtois was the right one. It's just the least you would expect from Courtois, after doing all of those for him, is some decency or professionalism in this situation. But having read that he did the same to Genk when we bought him in 2012, I guess I shouldn't be surprised at all.

IT'S ALL EMENALO'S FAULT!!!

We all thought the same about Courtois, didn't we?

IIRC, he was strongly linked with Real Madrid a year or two ago but he then signed a new contract with Athletic.

There's still 25 days for this to go horribly wrong!

How despicable can one get really?

We're apparently interested in Athletic Bilbao's Kepa Arrizabalaga. 80 million euros release clause. Tomorrow key day ( ).

🤷‍♂️

Yes but if the defence go AWOL for the day, then we can't have the keeper follow suit as well, can we? Need to have him being able to hold its own if the defenders in front suffer a brainfart day.

Never said you did, did I? Don't be sensitive! The numbers will suggest United have one of the best defences around but do we really think a back four of Valencia, Jones, Smalling and Young are top class? The numbers are only good because of De Gea.

3 days before the transfer window closes and this pops up again? I call this BS.
