Not my favourite by any stretch, but I can see why people like him - he's a big game player.

:thup: I'm looking forward to next year when someone drops £65m on Ross Barkley. The place will implode. Piss off, not worth a drop over £63m.

A real shame about Pogba (from your perspective). You've lacked central midfield quality since Scholes left (the second time). He's not a like-for-like replacement (there's too few like Scholes about in general, and fewer still of anything approaching his calibre) but what a smoother transition Man Utd might have made from the Ferguson era to this one with Pogba to take over from Scholes.

Only thing which will prevent me from putting money on them going down is their board will likely sack him by Christmas

What Ketsbaia said

They've put a £33m bid in for Welbz.

Janmaat and Haidara are pretty good going forward, we've been historically far too easy to play through (circa 2-3 years) and we haven't got any natural width in midfield (from what the current bunch have shown me)... so the diamond makes sense for me. Still a CB or two, and a striker away from being a passable starting XI in the Premiership - and a few more players from being a decent squad. The league is shite though, so maybe I'm talking balls.

Based on not much at all: Striker Perez De Jong Wilnaldjum Sissoko Tiote

Vurnon

£50m for Sterling man Effectively guarantees the bell a starting berth too. Knew football was on the path to this ridiculousness when Darren fucking Bent went for £18m or something like that.

Can see the potential for this fucking up the cup, mind you. Triple captain and full bench ffs.

OP updated with league code.

I'll sort it later tonight you eager motherfcuking beavers

Those years in Paris haven't been kind to him, like.

Need to find out kaka's team so I can steer clear of his hot picks...

My name is Giovanni Giorgo, but everybody calls me... Winegum

At the risk of Kaka'ing up the situation: This is sickening. Football is dead for good.

It'd send out a terrible message to the young players that they have at the club. It'd be 'our way or you rot in the reserves'. The next time contracts are up for renewal, the talented kids will leave for a less restrictive club. How is it extortion? He hasn't said that he'd stop playing if he didn't get a new contract. He's just said he won't be signing a new contract. How the fuck is that extortion? Why do people routinely side with rich clubs and rich owners over shit like this? It's completely baffling. Science ftw ( - if reports about him refusing to go on pre-season tour are correct).

Idiotic decision.

Pure that

The hair

The screeching and screaming in the crowd when the ball goes forward ffs

We're putting in £25 bids for Mark van Bommel and Melvut Erdinc.
