Village Idiot

The Spanish supercup has long been a tourist game. It's excluded from the ST and in the middle of August, so most locals are on holidays. When we play Real Madrid is usually the biggest gate of the year. Sent from my MotoG3 using Tapatalk

I will say this - I think you did alright given all the misfortune you had to face. I didn't watch the entire game, but you didn't look like a team out of its depth.

Jesus, did you miss the draft or something? Both were my last picks for their positions - both are cheap and I expect you to do reasonably well... Barcelona has destroyed your expectations. You have a winnable set of starting fixtures - which I was betting on - that both players will now miss.

So, my FF team has both Lejeune and Shelvey. Rejoice.

Just noticed that Spurs have apparently replaced Kyle Walker with Kyle Walker-Peters. Heh.

Caballero's 36 next month. Not really surprising he went for a last big payout and I'm sure Chelsea upped whatever you were offering.

Speaks from experience, I guess.

Nah, there's nothing to that one. Just journos being cheeky. "Morbo" and all that.

Matthew Ryan was pretty good for Valencia.

I mean, if they want to buy a workrate-based CM, fine, but Paulinho for €40m? FFS. There's no way this board survives the no-confidence vote next month.

Yeah, rumour was that if we were going to buy a CM it would be him now. But our local press has confirmed we're in advanced talks for Paulinho now.

So apparently we're buying f***ing Paulinho for close to €40m Oh god, sack this board.

Kiko Femenía playing in the PL. So random.

They own Girona too.

Well, if you were in for him he should be a decent signing for Girona too. City are offloading a bunch of players on them that I had never heard about.

So, apparently from whatever amount we end up paying for Dembelé (and it's going to be a hell of a lot), Rennes will be getting 25%. Now that's going to be a jackpot.

The problem with Sánchez - besides the fact that he was too timid in his play, he's far more assertive now - is that he was just an upgraded Pedro and that made our attacking play far too limited. He'd be a far better fit now, but he's too old. I'd rather we get younger players to rejuvenate the side. Coutinho+Dembelé would be great, imho, but I'm becoming pessimistic about our ability to get both. The prices quoted are getting absurd.

He's seen as Iniesta's replacement. Different player obviously, but a good candidate for that LCM role. We're eyeing a pacy left forward type to replace Neymar. What he brought to the side was running at defences and give pace to our attack.

I really should downgrade one of either Lukaku or Kane and improve my midfield. Whatever, I'll figure it out after Aug. 31 Foster Hart Verthongen Bellerín Luiz Lejeune G. Johnson De Bruyne Zaha Capoue Phillips Shelvey Lukaku Kane Mounie

Joined. My team is shite but I plan on using my WC after the window shuts down. There's a lot of cheapish players that might become interesting should they move.

You lads reckon Mbemba is going to start for you? Otherwise I'll pick Lejeune.

I love how the camera still has old-time film camera SFX.

How many years does Gibbs still have in his contract? Taking a pay cut now and getting himself regular football would probably lead to a better contract later.

He's been great for Brentford. Love a left footed playmaker He's never had a single successful season in the top flight, and he isn't a young prospect anymore. In his loan spell at Eibar he was completely ineffectual.
