Tbh at his age I would have probably eaten Tiger if I saw it on a menu. I'd still be a little tempted now. Not a fan of petting Zoo's for dangerous predators though.

Easy trophies, and for some reason it still means something to people in England. Win a couple of trebles and he will gravy again.

I think choosing Spurs is fine and choosing us is fine. My only issue is that we’ve been after him for a year, so it’s time for us and him to make a decision (if that hasn’t been done already). I’ve zero interest in this dragging out through the summer unless it’s just to fuck with Spurs. I don’t want us to still be hearing about him in a month and without an alternative.

You would hope after a year of being after him we have a good idea of what his preference is. If he really has a significant preference for Spurs then the correct move is to drive up the price, but spend our money elsewhere.

It’s a smart move by the creep, it’ll extend his career at a high level by years.

Fuck yes

I would probably take him over Rice tbh.

Phwooar

He got dropped from first team training by Man City for coming back from the WC overweight.

I’d only be in favour of Phillips as a loan with a buy option tbh. He’s a risk, especially with his big salary.

Friar Edwards has Maurissed it hasn’t he.

This guys agent must be putting some work in.

He’ll blame this on too much Viognier in a few hours.

Fuckin hell, surely not

Maguire always plays on the left side of defence doesn’t he? So the question is Maguire vs Botman and Burn, and given that Maguire is one of the highest paid defenders in the world and would be moving for first team football, the question is Maguire vs Botman.

It’s got to be easier than improving McTominay’s technical ability.

Never heard of him but a 5 minute Google tells me he’s worth a punt. As for the personal views, give him a pre-season with Eddie and I’m sure you’ll see improvement.

I think there’s a decent manager in Parker tbh. He’s not in the Lampard/Gerrard bucket.

Good. Hopefully they go big backing him this summer.

Would you play him over Botman and pay him £200k+ a week? That’s what he would expect.

We’re obviously not in for Maguire, he’s a left sided CB on huge wages. He would be our highest paid player, and left sided CB is probably our strongest position with Botman and Burn. It’s just Man U or his agent trying to create a bit of interest, maybe trying to flush out Todd Boehly.

To me it comes down to what is more compelling to you. Winning in different countries like Guardiola, or working your way up like Ferguson. Tbh I probably respect the latter achievement more(as a person he’s shit), but neither would be my GOAT.

All good apart from the Noon patch.

Some prefer to spell it Alvarez.

Alvarez is an interesting one. I think I only saw him play in an attacking role but it sounds like he can do a job anywhere in midfield, at a very young age as well. Compare that to Lavia who would apparently cost a lot more and seems to be a specialist defensive midfielder.
