Last summer also. True, but I have them pinned already as the club that takes a big step back from last season. I don’t think they’ll be near the top 4 come the end. They had so many bang average players who have been shit for years suddenly playing out of their skin at the same time. I don’t see Almiron, Joelinton, and the rest of them playing to a superhuman level again. ‘Increased expectations, pressure, and the huge fixture list with UCL football will knock them back a level. Still a top 8 side but not top 4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With these two back regularly and 3,4 great buys they could become real force. Vesper 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they massively overperformed and will come back down to earth. They’ll eventually spend their way to being a consistent top 4 threat but I still think it’s too early.

Maybe they just don't believe in Boehly's vision or his ability to materialize it, esp now after the catastrophe of a season and round two in form of appointing Poch and current transfer targets and I can see where they are coming from. Plus, they are actually being pushed out of the club (except maybe Mount), so can we really expect loyalty from them in this situation? They are mostly looking for cashing-in on retirement anyway. didi007 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZAPHOD2319 4,819 Posted June 21, 2023 Share Posted June 21, 2023 £70 could be the total price. Not sure what he needs to do to get that, so £65m to £67.5m might be better for us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vesper 30,229 Posted June 21, 2023 Share Posted June 21, 2023 Al-Ettifaq seek to unite Liverpool legends Gerrard and Mane in Saudi Arabia https://www.pulsesports.ng/football/story/al-ettifaq-seek-to-unite-liverpool-legends-gerrard-and-mane-in-saudi-arabia-2023061222393755841 Bayern Munich forward Sadio Mane is reportedly of interest to the PIF who want to bring him to Saudi Arabia. As Pulse Sports reported earlier, Saudi Arabia-based side Al-Ettifaq are close to agreeing on a deal for Liverpool legend Stephen Gerrard to become their manager. They are now said to be after another former Liverpool star, Bayern Munich's Sadio Mane. The Senegal international only recently joined the Bundesliga champions last summer, but injury, among other factors, has seen him fail to hit the ground running. Mane in Ettifaq's radar According to a report by GFFN, PIF, which have acquired a number of Saudi clubs, have taken an interest in Mane as they continue to raid European leagues for top talent. According to the report, the idea is to place him in the SPL side Al-Ettifaq. However, if the prospects of the club are unalluring to him, he will be allowed to pick any other club in the country. Bayern Munich are reportedly ready to cut their losses on the Senegalese and have put him on the transfer market. It is over for Bayern and Mane, Cancelo He has allegedly been offered to a number of teams across Europe, but no team has indicated significant interest. Meanwhile, Lionel Messi was delayed at the Beijing airport after he was alleged to have used the wrong passport on his arrival in China. Argentina are set to take on Australia in a friendly in Taiwan during the international break. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vegetable 830 Posted June 21, 2023 Share Posted June 21, 2023 Legality and ethics aside, as we will probably hear about this sooner than later, it looks like Saudis decided to fire up their own, bootleg version of Superleague, with known names but no club trademarks a'la Pro Evo Soccer 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liked his personality and professionalism tho, he just fell off a cliff in terms of pace and couldn’t handle the league.

He is still in his 20s, a national team regular and oozes quality. Leicester got relegated and are quoting £50m for Barnes and Maddison and Maddison also has also 1 year left on his contract and they are quoting double the price. I think that is brilliant business for City tbh. We are short on CM as well. Struggled with injuries last season but on form, brilliant player to watch. Will miss him. I was hoping for £40m, but we got £30m apparently and yes, I just changed favourite player to Thiago Stats 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
