Geez, what are we doing with some of these young guys.. What was the plan with Amougou? He could have just stayed at St Etienne. Why we bother took him here? Same with Anselmino. He was scheduled to join this summer but we took him earlier.. for what? What will we do with Ugochukwu, Essugo? We just seem to lose money on these guys.

Drogba counts? 🙂 I am not saying we should go for him, just surprised about news being quiet on him. Press indicated all top teams are all over him.

Didn't he just sit on the bench one time? I recall he never played in the PL. He has 60M release cause though, we seem to go for 80-100M Ekitike, wages should cover the difference. Arsenal going for Sesko, Liverpool for Wirtz, United got Cunha, bit weird to me. I expected many club would match 60M and he'd quickly find a new team.

Does anyone start to feel like there is something going on with Gyökeres? Like a red flag which top club scouts noticed. It doesn't feel like top PL-clubs are very much after him, everyone chasing other targets. Or other European clubs. Isn't he a wanted man?

Neither was anybody willing to buy Joao Felix and Pedro Neto, we still milked out 100M for them.

It's after Potter. We'd got Pochettino by that time. Wonder how things would be now if he sticked around. Finished last season in pretty good form, sneaked up till 6th.

Guys, next year we will compete in the CL.. Scary to think to face this PSG.

Joao Mendes has their best players there, while we buy Neto and Felix from his clients.

Wonder what Mbappe is thinking.. No CL-title and no Ballon D'or until the age of 28(earliest) for the "next CR". While Doue, Dembele, Barcola flourish for PSG.

Yes. We opted Joao Felix and Neto though 😄 Gotta say I was always against Enrique. Expect his Barcelona (which had insane amount of talented players in their primes) I was not impressed by his teams. But what he did with this PSG is very impressive.

Doue goal and assist in the CL-final at 19.. What a player.

True. This was the only pleasant surprise about him though.

This guy joined a team which had Messi, Mbappe, Neymar and Icardi. Up to challanges perhaps?

It's been discussed wheter we should buy Sancho, sell Madueke, but didn't see anyone mention the possibility of offloading Neto. Are you all happy with him? I feel Jadon, Noni, Palmer and hopefully Estevao all have something to offer that other players cannot. Neto's skillset is too simple, no end product, no good against solid defence. He is 25, a player who makes a living with his pace but has a solid injury history, I don't feel his ceiling is any more higher.

Well done boys! This season had high ups and low downs, but ultimately we reached the goals. Lots of work to do and next season will be much more difficult.

Wishing you quick and full recovery! The boys did their parts in the last 4 days!

Very interesting.. Hope Maresca will explain later wheter we win or not. Colwill played total 39 games this season(35 PL, 2 FA, 2 Conf) and not solid national team member, he shouldn't be drained off..

Even worse, once I believed Malang Sarr would be a decent squad member.

Got a feeling he is not destroying waffles all summer like Hazard.. I know it's not all it takes but he is in terrific shape, like CR.

Definetly not, they are good. We are better though, and my gut feeling was that if we screw up Today we will not win against Betis. Now the CL is secured, we can play with no pressure, for Betis the pressure will be much bigger.

Well done boys, Today and whole season. Could have been better, but we finished 4th, only Liverpool, Arsenal and City ended up north from us. We've been around all season, deserved the CL. Both Marseca and the players need to improve next year though, you cannot rotate whole teams midweek anymore, there will be 2 important games every week. I expect we'll win against Betis now the weights are off our shoulders.

Last time he played as a striker, he was completely lost there. On the wing he is dangerous, we might see him later.

Makes sense to start Sancho IMO. NF have nothing to lose, they can only step forward, but they need to win. Hence, we can expect they will not park the bus, we should try to take advantage. If we are leading, we can make the midfield more stable any time.

I predict we'll make it with a draw and United also holding AV on a D. Beating NF for the CL seems a faid business though, even it's very bad matchup for us.

If there were not enough red flags on Garnacho, he was whining on IG publicly about not starting after a lost EL-final. I feel very bad vibes on him, no reflection on his face, seems an inconvenient guy who is not a good teammate. Bit like Mudryk, but too much confidence. Both Gittens and Garnacho are runners, that's not really what we lack. We need attackers who can break teams who are parking the bus.
