Ederson loses out due to his ridiculous smiley tattoo on his neck

 

dunno mate tbh.

you'd imagine the teams in flux would be doing business. bayern did a bit. real have done their deal..... but not much in england yet. youd imagine one or two would be wamted for 1st July.

 

Given that quite a few of the bigger teams are needing to rebuild, I expected more activity. I guess everyone’s got their poker faces on.

 

Plus the money is so silly that they have to get it right 3 top player going to cost best part of 300m.
Wow just typing that is ridiculous

 

Best defence in the league
Best Manager in the world
Best fans in the world
European champions

Also facts

 

The best players are being chased by several clubs atm. Players are in strong positions and can hold out for the best offer. This is why we’re getting linked to everyone with any potential.....it’s simply to drive the price/package up.

 

Being honest
I hope if we are getting someone, it is from where Klopp has been looking in the past few seasons. I can honestly say i do not want a single player from Real, Barca or PSG as the attitude of their team has been wrong imho.
whatever processes we have gone through the past two seasons has worked.

 

for me.....

real have a clear plan in mind. how they get those players however is not easy. hazard was done already for months. Pogba wants to go but is no 3 on their list and Utd will fight it. mbappe is their no 1 imo... that's not going to be easy.

bayern signed someone 2 months ago and afyer that are linked to half the planet.

psg... who knows.

juve... into the frees.. not sure who they actually want.

Barca. I think have made their moves. greizmann will be next?

there's actually a lot being pushed out the door almost out there. lots of move please but everyone of those.might have clubs but they are all waiting to get best deal later??

 

imo once the big boys buy a lot of smaller fish will be out to snag a bargain.

 

so

Utd should get wan bissaka, dunno who else. that's at least solving an issue Utd do have.

arsenal are latest linked to Fraser. I think that's mad.

Chelsea are on a ban appeal so could well be sticking where they are and hoping to buy for January.

city? who knows. speculation seems around forwards not defenders.

spurs... who knows... bargain shopping late?

west ham seem to be making moves

us? really don't know even a left full target. we could easily see klopp looking first two weeks in preseason before us tour for youths. ki and Lewis will be main speculation. Wilson will be I suppose too.

 

Male pundits: so what, they have female pundits and commentators on male football, so why not vice versa. If someone is knowledgeable about that sport (usually cause they played) what does gender matter.
Amateur teams: that I agree with. Fifa show yet again how inept they are and their desperate need to grab every penny they can. By expanding the number of teams they've allowed countries who are not ready compete at such a level in. Then you get 13-0.

I watched the England games and I will admit there has been a massive improvement in the standard, however I the saw a bit of Cameroon playing and realised the standard has only improved at the top. And there is the current problem, there is maybe 10 teams in the world who are any good and only 2-3 stand a chance of winning the tournament. A huge gape in quality resulting in lack of competitive games, atm its like the Spanish league.

Also all the GKs are too short. Apparently being nearly 6ft makes you one of the tallest, need to steal the netball girls.

 

Chavs ban would last all season, 2 windows.

 

yeah, i think president says it'll get reduced to 1. I think Barca got that.

lots.of rumours around Chelsea.manager position etc so it's quite hard to know what will happen.

if you go 4231 for example with pulisic in.

Kala
azpi Luiz rudiger alonso
kante jorginho
odoi Willian pulisic
giroud

for me if they have the bam then the issue is striker. theyve a lot of players anyway to pick a squad out of but they simply don't have the 20-25 goal striker do they??

is there someone I am missing?

kovacic and higuin must return to clubs and surely Chelsea can't loan in during ban??

 

They’re going to struggle up front, as Morata signed an 18 month loan back in Jan, and Higuain goes back to Juve to link up with Sarri again.

 

For free delivery, the TV and football I will be happy....for now.

 

Imagine buying a player who was relegated.

 

Carlton Pogba says it 'could be a good time to move elsewhere'

And reckons he has just had his best season

 

Man Utd is a waste of his talent. Solskjaer will get himself sacked without needing Pogba.

He says he wants to chellenge himself at Real Madrid, competing with Hazard for who can down tools the hardest.

 

In terms of stats, he didn't have a poor season tbf. Imagine if he (a) put effort in and (b) play the full season.

 

He broke all records for number of haircuts and sponsorship deals. For tax purposes he's a professional model and celebrity with a side job as a footballer.
