Frustrating, but overall we didn't play badly, dominated play and the penalty should have given us a win. If we didn't have any strikers coming back I'd be worried, but we do.

How did we have 0 shots on target? We had one cleared off the line.

How blind is this linesman?? Twice now the player right in front of him has played someone onside and he keeps giving offside based on the player across the other side of the pitch.

Excellent from Almiron.

Not even close to pen. Burns foot is planted on the ground and the striker just kicks that leg and falls over.

Man City 1 up and it's 1 minute injury time. 1-1 and it's 7 mins...

How the fuck does he not see Hall totally clear on the left??

Ref is a total homer, utterly one sided.

Gordon sulking like a bitch, Pope is utter shite and Bruno is not a captain.

If we trigger the release clause there's no need for negotiations.

What's the best channel for this?

Well I'd think that man united can still sell a player who was accused of rape because he's innocent until proven guilty. Just a wild guess. Meanwhile us selling players to Saudi is a compliance issue and not a matter of law (right now anyway).

His head could be a mess from watching a bunch of shambling mongs wander around as he sits on the bench for the last couple of weeks. But Newcastle United have nothing to do with that.

If we assume the highest reported price for both then the fact is that the money leaving our balance sheet this year in this deal would be £2m at most with £35m coming in. Giving us up to £200m spending this season based on this deal alone. If we're conservative about it and want this deal to provide two years of installments on transfer spending we could still spend £100m based on this deal and we now have that second choice keeper we were looking for.

Desperately holding out against Slovakia, bringing on holding midfielders and sitting deep. Again Southgate is the absolute fucking worst.

Southgate is just the absolute worst.

Anderson has no value on our books, £35m can conservatively allow for £100m+ of spending in PSR terms this season. Great deal for us.

When people agree with someone's opinion (we aren't selling Isak or Gordon ect) they don't tend to mock that opinion. Don't see what's surprising about that.

As far as FFP is concerned we'd have all the money now and could spread it over long contracts ourselves meaning we'd basically have zero FFP limits.

Southgate is awful.

Gallagher and Eze on the pitch with Palmer and Gordon sitting on the bench..

Yeah and next season when Villa don't qualify he can look for another team temporarily in the CL to move to, us probably..

Another PL club yes, Villa no, he does actually seem to like it here. That might not be enough to keep him from Man City, but I see no reason why he'd be making a big change for a club like Villa. Of course if we wanted to sell him I've little doubt, but as a release clause I think he'd need a good offer to move.

I heard he hasn't yet ruled out jumping off a building, really worried for his safety.

Why would it make no sense? £40m brought in would allow us to spend upwards of £150m just from that sale. If we can sell Almiron for £20m do that too and use both deals to invest a couple of hundred million plus this season while still meeting FFP.
