A known baiter of the fanbase purposely positioning the article in a certain way twice in as many days qualifies him for both bullshitter and fraud status.

Serves them right for leaving the best Dutch centre half in the Premier League on the bench

Who the fuck is Gertrude and why is he playing ahead of Wor Sven

I mean Haalands dad was telling everyone under the sun about that release clause

Their current squad is unsustainable, they need to sell and as one of their younger players he probably more saleable.

Dortmund wasn’t a mistake ffs Man United was the mistake for him.

What’s was that tweet “the idea of playing for Newcastle sickens Sven”

New stop on the PGA tour

Looks like standard agent mischief to me. Almost the same story reported this morning verbatim but with Newcastle replaced with Manchester.

He’s in the Tranquilo Barnetta suite of Jesmond Dene house mate

wouldn’t be surprised if there is some speculative clauses in there about CL progression etc, allows teams to save face by announcing “a fee that could rise to £60m”

That’s fair I had just always seen the Gerrard appointment and the Coutinho purchase as inextricably linked as he was a Liverpool old boy and he wouldn’t have signed if not for the Gerrard factor. Felt like a very public backing of him despite him playing in a position where you already had a decent starter in Buendia. Obviously Coutinho is a quality player on his day.

They’d largely be in the same boat as they are now in terms of player spend. Any takeover doesn’t magically alter revenue, sales or the players already at the club. They would perhaps fix the wreck that is Old Trafford mind.

I always got the feeling that he was the primary driver of the Gerrard appointment and Coutinho deal given his Liverpool links - you think that’s ultimately what he’s paid the price for?

I tend to think Fab and Ornstein and Athletic in general are the favoured source of a lot of clubs as they both tend to just present news or deals without journalistic spin or hyperbole.

They aren’t in a Everton/Leicester situation where they are paralysed from making moves just that they have an overhaul to complete. Plus they may have players they could sell but they can’t shred their squad depth esp being back in the CL. How much will they get for Elanga, Van de Beek and Maguire assuming they can find buyers. The second two probably have exorbitant wages that will put off most buyers. Martial is a good player but is made of glass and entering the last year of his contract. Sort explains where the McTominey links have been coming from, he looks like one of their more saleable assets.

They very much do, highest net spenders in the last decade yet in the same time Chelsea have made more than half a billion more in sales. They’ve spunked a lot of money on a lot of shit that they’ve lost for nowt, also the wages for Casemiro et al will be very high. Athletic reporting their budget (even in event of a takeover) will be around £100m to not fall foul of the rules. For a squad that needs some serious money spent on it that won’t go far.

The Ginola one

re: Maguire String them along until the end of the window then say nah your alright on deadline day

Main risk with a free transfer is the inflated wages, Juve simply couldn’t shift Aaron Ramsay until the end of his contract as his wages were well over market value. Tielemans Is talented but the fact he chose to dial it in for pretty much the full season for Leicester would worry me. Although if anyone can get a tune out of him Emery probably can. He feels a bit of a Shelvey type, borderline unplayable on his day but if times get tough you don’t necessarily want him in the trenches.

That the adult sizes? not sure why grown men would buy the full kit in all honesty
