Think we’ll take our time with major signings which will be frustrating as we’d all love an early signing. Think we have a list of players in mind for the positions we want with the right characteristics /attributes and will wait for the right deal. Don’t think we’re fixated on a particular player where we’d go all out to get them, as long as some one on our list is available for the right deal we’ll get them but that depends on others clubs making moves. As options reduce for players then the right deal may become possible.

Maybe he might do a job but we need better and for the money they would want I’m sure we could do better abroad. Man U don’t sell top players (unless Madrid come calling), if they’re selling he’s deemed not good enough, why should we settle for that.

Would hate boosting Man U’s budget by taking their leftovers.

Not sure what everyone’s arguing over, we’re not signing him even if we wanted to. He’s way out of our salary structure.

Credible source?

We need to get a hurry on with this planned multi club model. Have some clubs in France, Belgium, Portugal etc where we can farm them out for a couple of seasons then bring them into the first team squad or sell on for profit which will help with FFP.

If it’s a charter it could be carrying a different person, just because Zahavi used that plane to arrive in Barcelona doesn’t mean he’s the one flying into farnborough.

All just vague plans, no site identified yet let alone purchased as far as I recall. Still a long way away.

Are we not a system team? High coordinated press, get ball forward quickly, left back tucking in and making back three, right back moving upfield to make additional wide player, right wide player interchanging with right back to get in crosses or a shot off at goal. Not sure how compatible RB Leipzig’s system is with ours as not really watched them other than one CL match against City but if I recall correctly they had the same high press and energy.

I live in London and the whole knife crime thing is overblown, it’s rarely average folks getting stabbed unless really unlucky. Mostly teens/youths involved in gang violence. Unless you look like complete wuss you wouldn’t register on the radar of these people so it never affects you.

The Luton no11 turned the defender inside out to set up Clark for the goal, nice skill.

Goal Luton.

Mainz missing two good chances.

Feck, Dortmund need two, not happening.

If Bayern fail to win Dortmund win title.

Stuff like this makes me think why don’t our ownership just say fuck it and go down the City/PSG route. Playing nice isn’t getting us anywhere with other clubs and the media, they’ll always try to stiff us even with little improvements, may as well go full on Galactic Empire.

So his argument is the deal is within the laws, the value is within fair market value, but Saudi Arabia is autocratic so bad? “While there is understood to be sound advice that the deal represents fair market value given the Champions League qualification, the question from some executives in the game is whether the new regulations are as relevant in this case given they concern the same ownership” Isn’t that what regs concerning related party transactions cover already I.e owners using related entities for funding?

Might want to use some lube if you have to drill it in ?

Whose the speccy black guy next to Kolo Toure on Skysports half time commentary?

Or a fish head in a box for the less perverted.

The lack of any credible links is already annoying me ?, this will be torture until the first one is confirmed.

We see Nobby involved with the club nowadays but not Jonas. Maybe the club hasn’t engaged with him regarding that or maybe he enjoyed his time here and has love for the club but doesn’t want to do the ambassador thing which is cool if that’s the case.

Wasn’t he out for a year with an ACL and only came back in the last month or so. Not watched Juve recently, is he still the same player?

He’s an asset stripper, you see it in his business ventures. Buys distressed assets cheap and then sucks them dry until there’s nothing left. He doesn’t build, create or add value. He never had it within himself to improve us as that’s not what he does.
