That is nonsense and you know it. So last season we got Havertz and Werner when the initial transfer window started, everyone expected the two to arrive at other clubs. Werner to Liverpool looked set in stone. Havertz especially was a major coup. People expected him to go to Bayern or Real and we paid the money, less than what was initially quoted and got our man. Hakimi would have improved us but let's face it, it is a position PSG need more than us. We already have good options there. PSG don't. Like it says on the quote, he made it clear he wanted PSG. What can we do in that matter and they probably offered more money as they care crying out for a player in that position.

Sterling, I am sure will not be on consideration for a swap deal. No way at all. Jesus more likely. Kane coming in that price as CF, will have to play majority of games. Sterling primary position is a winger and can play on either side. Jesus is too inconsistent. Sterling by his standards was below par last season but previous 2 seasons has been excellent and would not be surprised to see him get form back next season.

Security. Tierney is a very good LB, but let's face it has a lot of injury issues. He will be earning £110k p/w for the next 5-6 years so even if he gets serious injury, his wages are secure. Whereas if is injury problems continue and his contract expires in next 3 years, he probably does not get same wages. Look how many players United had sitting on long term contracts with big wages and in hindsight they probably would not have given them those extensions plus wages. Jones springs to mind.

I agree, but with the wages he is on, he is still living very nicely either way 😁😁😁

He looks a lot older than 22. This age and false documents is not rare with some African players. There has been question marks on many African born stars.

Saw this video reel of Mount posted in the other forum but a fantastic watch. Enjoy!

Get a life....

That France U21 team is arguable good enough to put a good shift in the actual mens Euros. Maybe a bit exaggerated but there is so much quality there. The fact that the likes of Camavinga are a sub says a lot. Holland did really well.

Genuinely would take Bissouma. He has everything in his locker. I mean I would like Rice here but it would take around £80m to buy him. Bissouma, Brighton want at least £40m for him and I think whoever he goes to this summer, he will make stronger. He has good technique, good physique, can hold on to the ball well as well as drive through with it. Would give us that extra bit of muscle in midfield while also supporting the possession football Tuchel likes to play. Have not heard any links with us as he has mainly been linked with Liverpool and Arsenal but seen him enough to see he is able to take it up another level.

So proud of this team. Bossed the game. Every player out there put in a shift and we were fully deserving of our win over them. Despite all our spending this season, on average we have also had 2 players from the academy in the starting 11 for like almost every game. To see Mount and James start the game and win the UCL at such a young age is a huge achievement. Christensen played majority of that game and was faultless. Mount provided the match winning assist with a perfect through ball. James was a boss out there and won virtually every duel against Sterling. I love being the underdog in a final tbh. Everyone was putting this on Pep, stating this is the last jigsaw of puzzle he is missing there etc, they were favourites whereas we have won it before, and say for instance we lost it would been very disappointing season, however it feels it would be more of a catastrophe for City to lose than us. Allowed us to perform with freedom. Was very important for me also that we qualified for UCL in the league rather than having to rely on this game or then pressure would have really been on. The 2012 UCL win was great as we were huge underdogs that season and was our first time winning the UCL, however this season, seeing 3 players from the academy in that 11 come the final whistle and playing a top, top team and being deserved of the win makes this special. Turned out to be a great season! Looking forward to grabbing the end of season review: DVD

Get in there !!!

Provided match winning assist for the match winning goal. But he still will have these nonsense critics 😄

I think you are actually watching 19/20 season instead of this one. He has gone on another level this season. Most of my friends who were skeptical about him last season and are supporters of rival clubs even acknowledge he is a top player and they were wrong about questioning him. Several pundits have him in their team of the season, LOL. He is a nailed on starter for Lamps, Tuchel, Southgate most likely too. What is that all these pundits and managers are seeing differently eh?

I thought Milan might bottle it, not Napoli!

Just look at the contrast from pages 63-65 to now. I don't like the term 'plastic' fans but sometimes I think I agree when I see fans sail like the wind after a little dip in form. Unbelievable. LOL.

Wow. Talk about knee jerk reaction. Ridiculous post. Rudiger wasn't even in the team for first few months. It is funny because rewind this few weeks ago against Real Madrid, he was getting so much praise. Few bad games which is normal for any 22 year old. The posts which criticize him for needing to do a bit more, that is fair, but suggesting he is a ridiculous choice of POTY is ridiculous.

Tbh, Lukaku has got into double figures for assists this season too. Think he is joint top or second in that regards. Lukaku may be older, but he would be a much more safer ber than Vlahovic. I doubt we get him anyway tbh.

Several times this season.

I am glad to see James given MOTM, however had Alexander-Arnold had that type of game, the pundits would non stop talking about him having to be in England squad etc. James was a monster today. He scored a goal against Villa and was not that good in actual game and it was all the "how is TAA not in the England squad etc...

I think generally, he has had a very solid season. First few months of season he was arguably our best player, then had a dip in form like many of our other players however when he has played under Tuchel, he has looked ever so solid. One thing though, this was probably his best offensive performance for us for a long while.

Wow. What a turnaround in events. Thanks a lot Aguero. I wonder if he done that on purpose as he wants to play UCL with us next season Anyway to the game, my MOTM was Reece James. He was brilliant. He was brilliant defensively and offensively. Thought Pulisic was outstanding too. The amount of fouls he drew and counter attacks he initiated was amazing. I thought when Gilmour conceded that penalty, that was us finished. Wow. Totally ecstatic right now. Don't want to get complacent but that should be us top 4. Also paid off, resting likes of Mount, Chilwell, Silva and also Havertz did not come on too.

And there next game is on Friday... really strange one. Would of been interesting to see what he would do if the fans was there...

This is why I was angry when United and Liverpool was postponed. That timing was suitable for us and they put out their strongest available team. Even if they do the same on Thursday, they will be fatigued.

Exactly. I mean when I hear people make excuses for them saying their squad is not good enough for top 4. Utter nonsense. Saka, Laca, Auba, Tierney, Partey, Odegaard, Gabriel are all players who are top 4 quality. Not just that, they have very good squad players. Martinelli, Pepe has not reached the heights expected but he is a decent squad option. This is one of the best squads they had for years and they flopped big time which is the truth. Our squad last season baring in mind we lost Hazard and had many players coming from loan who previous season were playing in Championship, was weaker than their squad this season yet we got top 4. The excuses people make for them is ridiculous.

Meanwhile, I placed £15 on Arteta to be sacked at 6.00 aka 6/1 odds. Pretty sure price will keep lowering as it was 7.00 not too long ago. The Arsenal board probably will keep him on anyway, but worth a punt.
