Mitrovic auditioning for Serie A.

He’s half-smiling. That’s just a dry sense of humor. It’s an awkward situation meeting someone in front of a camera. Don’t think he gives a shit one way or the other.

RTG and RedCafe can be entertaining and funny. RAWK is mental illness.

De Bruyne and Salah were “not good enough” for Chelsea. They have more money than sense and will always pursue the next shiny object even if they have better in their squad. Not necessarily a good rule of thumb. Anyway, in this case, yeah I would hope that we avoid both Cucarella and Chillwell. Chilwell is on something like 200k a week.

25 man squad? 2 Kieran Trippier 3 Paul Dummett 4 Sven Botman 5 Fabian Schär 6 Jamaal Lascelles 7 Joelinton 8 Jonjo Shelvey Harrison Ashby 9 Callum Wilson 10 Allan Saint-Maximin 11 Matt Ritchie 12 Jamal Lewis 13 Matt Targett 14 Alexander Isak 18 Loris Karius 19 Javier Manquillo 20 Chris Wood Anthony Gordon 21 Ryan Fraser 22 Nick Pope 23 Jacob Murphy 24 Miguel Almirón 26 Karl Darlow Martin Dubravka 28 Joe Willock 33 Dan Burn 36 Sean Longstaff 39 Bruno Guimarães

Got to find a pub in the San Francisco Bay Area. (Watched the past few rounds on dodgy streams)

Well, he’s a replacement for Eriksen. Not that level. (Actually they haven’t done that well, have they.) Weghorst and Sabitzer address immediate needs.

How are they going to register those players for the CL and make a 25-man squad? They signed eight (?) players. They only player that went out was Jorginho. I’ve seen some articles about they’re having to leave five signings off the Champions League squad, but nothing about the Premier League. Am I missing something? Don’t they have the same problem?

Yes.

This is right. I rated the window a 4 because some rivals for the top 4 noticeably improved, while we did not. I was hoping for another signature signing (Bruno-level) that would push the club on to the CL. Negatives * Not convinced about Gordon in the short term * We’re now short in central midfield. No replacement for Shelvey. * Arsenal, Chelsea, Man United did well. * Fraser still around. Positives * Signed prospects for the future * Gordon’s game is suited to our style of play * Removed older players who are on high wages * Brighton, Liverpool standing still. Man City worse off

He missed out on a gag. Should’ve turned to the Southampton players as he went off and waved them goodbye.

So Fraser apparently wasn’t dealt to Hull City. Not sure why he has been frozen out of the side. He did very well last season, and now he’s gone. I was looking for him in the team photo, but I don’t see him. Darlow and Shelvey are there. Read somewhere that Chris Wood at the game. It’s a bit odd and disappointing. Was hoping he would get a move if that’s what he wanted. Any thoughts, info?

2 - 0 ASM, Joelinton

C Could paradoxically be good for us given that the first games are against relatively weak opposition. Will force Howe to return Joelinton to midfield and play ASM (or Gordon) in the front three. If Gordon doesn’t start expedite his inclusion as a 60 minute sub for Miggy— more like for like than Murphy. Once Howe has broken up the starting 11 maybe he’ll be more willing to start Isak. Wilson’s hold up play would be useful later in the game. The main thing for me is getting ASM and Isak sharp, and integrating Gordon as quickly as possible.

Hull. So he is going down south after all.

He did an admirable job at Burnley. Comparable the job that Howe did with Bournemouth. Neither failed upwards IMO. (Situation is quite similar. Except Everton is skint. Dyche won’t get a Bruno, won’t even get a Chris Wood.)

WH didn’t even play the kid in the Carabao Cup. No wonder he wants out. Thanks Moyesy.

Partizan Belgrade. My first experience of what it would mean to be a fan of this club.

I looked this up earlier. You may be right. Worth the risk, if they get a slap on the wrist. Anything more punitive and they take it to court. (Where they will win.)

Notts Forest.

Yes, that’s my feeling as well. I think Burn/Botman or Schar/Burn isn’t an absolute disaster, but we don’t have Targett. So then that’s Lewis in. If Trippier goes down it’s Ashby or Manquillo. Think we could/would drop from the top 4. Losing Bruno would be an absolute disaster. That could see us drop from top 6, in my opinion.

Yes, it’s one of many problems. The other team (most small market teams) cannot compete. Each team makes their own TV contracts for 162 games. There is no promotion/relegation. Those small market clubs are just there to make up the numbers. No reason for fans to care one way or another.

He must mean in regards to a club jerking us around with no intention to sell. Surely.

American owners. Employees are pieces of meat.
