City’s owners just bought their 12th club, Palermo

I assume some Leeds fans have been at the edit button but Wiki tells me he’s score 200 goals in 74 appearances. Not bad going.

It’s the Man United way. Sign players because they’re available and not because you’ve carefully thought out how they are going to play together.

Got fucking burnt by Willock

SMS is the perpetual transfer rumour that never actually happens Not to us, just in general.

Horrenderson

was he viewed as Koemans player?

Depay is a talented player who with the exception of Lyon has made some very poor career choices. If his wages aren’t extortionate (he was signed after the ceiling fell in at Barca so might not be). I’d have him here, he is the sort of player a project like this can resurrect. Has previously played with Bruno too? Edit, yip

The RVP transfer was about going to your main rival and taking their best player and the leagues best player, because you could. It wasn’t building for the future, it was ‘fuck you we’re Manchester United’. They can’t do that any more, not a single big 6 player would see them as a step up.

Van Persie was still at his peak when he went there.

Barça president Laporta on de Jong: “There are many clubs that want him, not just Man United. We have no intention of selling him, he wants to stay”. Will be hilarious if this falls through. Long gone are the days they could strong arm Van Persie off a rival.

14!

Barcelona are absolute jokers mind. Looks like Raphinha is holding out for them as well as Lewandowski. They cannot afford these players but insist on pretending they can

Think De Ligt is the strongest rumour at the moment. Werner+cash

Muy Manero is his agent

Never been so anxious to watch a five minute minute video of vague platitudes and cliches.

I thought Belotti was way older than 28. He’s definitely worth a shout, decent goal return in an average Torino side.

Would take him on a similar deal to Trippier. He’s off to Toronto though isn’t he?

It’s a dangerous situation for the clubs that because if the player doesn’t meet expectations it makes them impossible to move on. Juve with Ramsey etc Everyone thought it was smart business at the time but quickly became an albatross contract.

Yep I have that and Cole on off there, it’s absolutely perfect. I have a genuine green away one, cost me £50 like 7 years ago. Tempted to see what I could get for it now a it’s a little too big on me. (eBay says around £120/150 - not bad)

If you want the branding then Chinese Amazon is the only way to go. Genuine retro market is almost as bad a trainers. Went to that pop up shop in Eldon Garden a few months back. Genuine astonishment at the prices they wanted for some washed out strips that aren’t even that rare. £150 for a Barca 2006, £70 for a nufc 2011 away top. I nearly bought a Batigol Fiorentina top for £180 about 5 years ago, wish I had, would be appreciating in value quicker than a house

Doesn’t Jlingz want £180k a week though? Who does he think West Ham are?!?? Everton?

Can’t bring myself to get any new top until Fun88 is gone. Just ruins the whole thing for me. The score draw replicas are decent and like 20 quid less than the new ones. Got one of the Blue McEwans ones off DHgate a while back and it’s perfect too.

Assuming we’ll finally get some media today.
