We’re gonna win the Champions League

For me this team reminds me of 1970s Netherlands

With six left backs starting today I am starting to think that Pardew managed has disposed of Howe and had a face swap done

trying a GK-less formation. Worrying

Could we see Garang today?

Doubt he will play in England again

Can we have a sell/keep survey for this thread?

the replacement cost is not astronomical. Neves probably benchmarks the sale price, £50m. Barnes is the replacement, £35m. then due to how FFP works with fee divided by transfer length for each year, we are then able to afford, based on £40m profit to the FFP books quite a few extra players.

Why are Tonali and Maddison still in rumoured?

part of it is that we got really lucky with Howe as our manager

surely he is… he was on our youth books for 8 years

And Gillespie. which is why we will have 4 GK as Gillespie and not Karius will be 3rd keeper pick in the Champions League

Who was Young Player of the Tournament?

I heard he has been mint

It’s becoming a bit of a strange situation where new elite players are joining the club, they meet Trippier who is captain but not captain, and then there is this guy at training who never plays who is the real captain. to be honest I will have lost a lot of respect for Lascelles if he is still here in September and hasn’t resigned the club captaincy.

Bruno G already fulfils 458% of the midfields smile quota so the smile doesn’t matter

and this is where they had to bathe in wheelie bins

Of joy

nah. our central midfield is well stocked with quality players who are worth a combined £285m. if we sign another it means that a really good player is not going to feature much, which means we can’t sell them for as much. in summary one more CM unless we are selling this summer is not a wise move.

Shame on Dortmund for signing someone with such hideous homophobia

Ooh I need your rumours, 8 days a week

I h8 Mike. So give me transfer rumours

Who appreci8s a good transfer rumour?

Who 8 all the transfer rumours?

What a shit thread title
