  1. I believe The Athletic over their President’s claims. They have made concessions on who they sign in the last few windows - Oriol Romeu for 3.4 million was their biggest signing last summer.
  2. Barca don't have the money for Nico Williams : The Athletic I'm not getting my hopes up though. Barca will do a bake sale and get the money
  3. Moments after Palmer's equaliser, England had a throw-in deep in the Spanish half. Walker took a good 30 seconds before throwing it back to Stones who went back to Pickford. They really had the chance to make a game of it but quickly dropped deep and allowed Spain to control the game again.
  4. Would be great if its Potter though. Chelsea can finally stop paying him.
  5. Southgate leaves England. I think the FA should try their best to convince Klopp. Or go for Eddie Howe
  6. I was surprised Gary Neville had a go at Cucurella last month - the signs have been there for months ever since Poch used him in an inverted role.
  7. Hoping this domino fall happens.
  8. He will be central. Our left side options are Mudryk and Sterling unfortunately. Even if the price is decent, I would not move for Alvarez. He's the best of the available strikers but he's too similar to Nkunku and plays as a second striker better than on his own up-front. We will need to invest in a striker soon even if we sign him.
  9. The direction United are going has me convinced we will be well above them. Mainoo is a real find but their signings have been middling. De Ligt, Zirkzee and Ugarte - is not going to raise their level by a lot. De Ligt in particular I think will struggle in England.
  10. Lot of quality players in the market too - Olise, Nico, Olmo, Simons, Calafiori. Our wage structure means we are not in the mix for any of them.
  11. Pre-season starting and our signings are Tosin at CB, Renato Veiga at LB, KDH in midfield and 2 youngsters in Guiu and Kellyman. Need one attacker to feel at ease about the new season. The injury returns will raise the level of our performances.
  12. Doubt it will take a big fee. Hasn't signed a contract beyond 26. + Milan would be open to sell. Seem to have little funds, aren't bidding for Zirkzee
  13. Madrid-bound. They'll be relaxed. United will end up with De-Ligt and maybe the Everton CB Branthwaite
  14. Hope we don't fuck around with a ball playing keeper and just go get him after the Euros. He's just turned 29 but I think he can continue at the top level for a while and is ready to make the jump to a high level PL keeper.
  15. I hope they ease him in. Endrick was thrown into a high-pressure Copa America knockout game vs Uruguay where he was mostly fouled.
  16. I am just glad they touched the midfield since the rumours were mainly about a CB and ST. He could complement Enzo and Caicedo in the middle and is an upgrade on Connor. No complaints.
  17. Glad to see Bielsa doing well with Uruguay
  18. Guiu is just to turn a profit. Still have a spot in the squad
  19. Plenty of better options. Nico Williams is the same age and has a 46m pounds release clause.
  20. Not every signing needs to be based on potential. I think Clearlake have done well so far after a rocky start but there are some spots in the squad which could really use a senior player who can come in and play at a high level straight away. Calafiori at 42m is not an expensive deal either unlike Enzo and Caicedo.
  21. Not a bad thing to do. But strengthen the XI as well. Signing Renato Veiga after tracking Calafiori for the first team is the issue.
  22. I'm all for adding a few players in their prime to round out the squad we have. Can't afford another season where we stagnate, are inconsistent because we are playing young players all over the pitch.
  23. Why buy him when there's already Lesley, Santos, Casadei who are DMs waiting to be assessed?
  24. Arsenal are getting a serious upgrade. We are experimenting with another 20 year old. Missing an opportunity to put together a strong XI
