Strike

Van Persie went to United and won the league but in doing so, he's neither celebrated at United fondly (there are a long list of star strikers better than him there who built bigger legacies) nor at Arsenal since he left them for a rival.

Also, he was arrested on suspicion of sexual assault. Clubs have been wary of going for him

If that's the case, how come no one's queuing up to buy him this summer?

But will he press? I'd rather get Dembele or even Raphinha, Gnabry, anyone in their prime, approaching their prime, over 30 year old Neymar.

Only Jose can build a narrative around winning Europe's third tier cup

take it as a good sign there's no news about him

How is his injury record lately? He's a super player no doubt. I see Milan and PSG want him.

Only area where it doesn't appear there are viable targets anymore is at CDM/CM

Gvardiol, Kounde, Dembele

Villa are making serious moves. Kamara on a free was a coup

Fraser Forster from the backup goalkeeper market is off to Spurs

Think Emerson will replace Alonso in the squad

for years they linked this guy and Daniele De Rossi to Chelsea

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.
