Strike

Could hear it from the Chelsea crowd when City went 3-2

Never gonna happen but the Lukaku swap that works for Chelsea is with Kane

don't think we are signing a midfielder without selling someone first. Connor, Kante, Jorginho, Kovacic and RLC in that position + the extras Barkley, Gilmour,

Yep. lost his place in the attack. Form tailed off bad in the second half. I wonder if he's okay with a 2nd choice role - would be good to have a hungry, strong striker for 2nd choice

Still had the best game of his season at Madrid in that period

Stat-padded vs the bottom sides this season. Goals vs Southampton, Norwich, Watford, West Ham, Leeds, Everton. Just the goal vs Madrid in the Champions League.

Nice story about N'golo and seems to be a locker room leader that everyone looks up to. Lampard really dropped the ball picking a limited Zouma over this guy

Similar clause with Grealish transfer

Pep investment first two years - Gundogan, Sane, Stones, Zinchenko, Jesus, Bravo, Nolito, B Silva, Ederson, Walker, Danilo, Mendy, Laporte. Klopp investment first two years - Wijnaldum, Mane, Matip, Karius, Salah, Robertson, Chamberlain, VVD (in Jan) Tuchel - Lukaku...

No coincidence that Pulisic starts four games in a row as soon as American owners come in. We will have him as part of the front 3 next year whether we like it or not.

Nizaar Kinsella's educated guesswork

So is the interest in Perisic

Nottingham Forest make the playoff final

Insane season. Tonight's win with 9 changes - Fergie-esque

Depends on the incomings. People have forgotten we signed Lukaku and Saul last summer.

Should go for someone younger than Gundogan otherwise Jorgi, Kante, Gundogan will need replacing at around the same time.

+ Newcastle could make a play for 4th too.

Importantly, 76 feels like an underachievement for the quality in the squad. With a normal pre-season and new signings, the ceiling is much higher next year.

Well deserved. He's the glue holding the club together in the last two months

Hard pass

haha I'm just glad there's no last game nerves this year. Can play the youth

Arsenal 😂

One good thing. Perisic is playing at a high level at wingback
