Or they should just suck it up and play somebody out of position, or change formation, or play one of the many kids they've consistently broken the rules to sign *grumble*. It's not like Barcelona have a famed academy that constantly produces talent either.

It should just be a loan until summer.

I think the combination of Mike Ashley and VAR is getting me close to packing it in, although teams breaking away for a Super League will be the final nail for me.

They need to hurry up and complete this, mind. Without it, we're down the shitter from next season.

Brucie, give us a wave. Brucie Brucie, give us a wave.

Yep. This is the worst thing to happen to the game yet imo. Like I said in a different thread, the sooner the elite fuck off by themselves the better. Agree totally. Let City, Man U, Arsenal, Spurs, Chelsea and Liverpool join a European superleague. Throw real, barca, atletico, benfica, sporting Lisbon, bayern, Dortmund, milan, inter, roma, lazio, Napoli, psg, marseille and zenit in and let the fuckers get on with it. I've never really got this opinion. If 5/6 English clubs go to a Super League, what's the point in winning the Premier League? It'd mean nothing.

I love how Liverpool and Man City defend most in their attacking third.

Chelsea are close to confirming Hakim Ziyech for the summer. £40m

They'll be top two by the end of the month.

As they should be. Embarrassing that it's took them 2 years to get out of that division.

Did Merino have a release clause here? If not, it'll never make sense to me why we let our best midfielder go for so little.

Ashley will always push it too far. If the Saudis meet his asking price, he'll think he undervalued the club and will therefore move the goalposts. Eventually they'll walk away and he'll make some public interview saying they wasted his time.

The leak pissed off both sides, so they've gone out of their way to keep the rest watertight. Journalists are getting desperate during the silence, though.

Yep, sold Lundstram for Egan who at least got an assist today. But still..... annoying.

Was nervous about being Aguero-less but there's still a chance it gets played within the Gameweek.

I think I'll look back on today as the day where I stopped believing. The day things got ridiculous.

Still time to get Vince McMahon involved

Exactly, no way can Ashley's cronies manipulate Wall Street Journal, Financial Times etc. That's the unique hope for this time round, until Ashley pulls the plug again.

Such a shame but inevitable once the others didn't join in. Just love how the UK has, in this case, chose to conform with the rest of Europe :lol:

Anyone grab a screenshot of it? For some reason, Chopra seems to talk sense and didn't he hint at these talks months ago? Not that it's difficult to make up, mind.....

It can be spun as a positive or a negative, so probably best to ignore it completely.

He's all we've got

This is class :lol:

Perhaps it was still a punt to say his company helicopter made the peculiar France trip but, if the same one really has landed in Oxford, Ashley really did go there?!?! :celb1:

Cans. Limbs.
