This Adama guy looking more and more bulked, Ronnie Coleman vibes, plus the hair.

Byebye Georgie

Gittens coming.

First goal: 54th minute Second: 55th

I think Maresca didn't want to mess the system and match plan after only 15 minutes into the game, and George was the only option to be sent on as striker. If he chose Gittens, then JP has to go to striker and Neto or Estevao move to nr10 so Jamie can play on the left. Pretty much mess up the whole front 4.

Stylish deadline day signing for sure. Let's go for Buongiorno from Napoli and Buendia from Villa and - call it a day.

How? We cannot loan out more players to RSC, right?

Maresca: "Romeo, I think two seasons ago, he didn’t start any games. Last year he played some games, this season the target is to give him more games." This is gold.. At least we have Essugo and Santos this time, we don't realy on him so much. Sad for him, I see lots of fans attack him on social media, while he would be the happiest to be available.

Wow, first Enciso is rumoured, now Buonanotte.. We can't give Brightpn a break, can we?

Is Rogers even on the table or only we keep his name up? I haven't read any rumour about him since July.

Ah, yes, I forgot about that. Would be special if we made it.

We wanted CL, this is CL! Against Qarabag, Pafos, Ajax and Benfoca we should be able to collect 12 points, Atalanta isn't too convincing with Juric either. First two games will be lots of fun! I expect we go through easily.

This was amazing! Well deserved for Grimsby, should have been 3-0 anyway. Manchester United still bring a lot of joy to my life after sacking Ten Hag, this shootout was a real gem.

Let's see.. Bayern's squad is super thin, they are 2 injuries away from a tranwreck. Question is wheter we are more desperate to get rid of Jackson or Bayern tp sign him, kind of a chicken game. But I support not letting ourselves get fooled.

I don't see too much in George.. But few years ago we sold an attacker to Roma and I didn't really rate him either.

To be fair he was a solid player, we had much worse strikers.. Bought for 30M, had two okay seasons and we make money on selling him, we can't complain. The team made big steps forward in the past two seasons, to improve even further we need other players to lead the line(wheter JP or Delap will be right ones is another question). Think he will be decent backup for Kane.

Simons too..

I think it's possible with Garnacho, not so much with Simons. Garnacho is outcast, MU need to get rid of him or his value will decrease even more. Leipzig made it clear they are not desperate to sell Xavi, he keeps starting for them, they are ok with him staying.

Yes, Manchester United still suck.

They make very good job at Frankfurt when it comes to recruiting attackers.. Ekitike, Marmoush, Kolo Muani, they are selling to to clubs for insane money. And they always immediately find the next one. Atleti and BVB were used to like this.

That's more like an Inter/Milan thing. Napoli splash the cash quite often. They were the only one not only wanting Lukaku on loan, and De Laurentiis can be generous when buying, he is tough cookie when selling though.

Fair point. However, they are a more established team with same manager for 9 years or so, and many players serving for long time. Also, they faced a much weaker side than us. City also struggled against Palace, so were Liverpool. Agree on this one. I think we will benefit from Gittens once he understands his role, develops some chemistry with teammates and learns the routes he needs to run. Estevao is different type of player, he can have nice flashes on his own, hence he looked brighter Today, Gittens is more of a system player. Caicedo, Enzo, Palmer, Neto - just to mention a few of our best players - also didn't impress much on their very first games, they needed at least a couple of weeks to fit in a bit.

Annoying but shouldn't be too harsh with the boys. This CP was a very tough side, they defended their third very tightly. Maresca tried to manage the game aswell, sent fresh legs up on time, it didn't succeed this time.. We need to work on find the strikers and shot from long distance. Estevao was promising.

It was literally one person..
