No such thing as a freebie and quite often prove more expensive deals. Wether it be signing on fee, wage level or contract length.

3inchs taller than Pope apparently.

Highlights (obviously I suppose) he looks very good. Remember that save from Anderson as had goal written all over it. Seems a very smart signing if the fee is indeed £15-20m and low-average weekly wage. Any hint on his current salary?

Always a bit wary of transfer stories breaking Saturday morning. Not seen enough of him to judge ability but going for him would suggest Pope starts No.1 this season.

Man City get 20%

Disagree. They finished above us. In Europe. Friends with a few key team mates. Has worked with the new manager already.

The more the details seep out the clearer it is we had very little chance of signing this lad. The move makes perfect sense for him on many levels.

Exactly. We might of chosen Tonali over him depending on the timing of the discussions and back ourselves to develope Miley who probably surprised a few with his development.

Nah that wouldn’t be great for football. Allowing us and everyone else in the same division to spend as much as the the team with the biggest limit however is all the rules have to be.

Would imagine it depends on the opposition.

One that goes completely against their current mission statement and strategic planning. Don’t see it myself.

Why do people keep saying Aramco would be a PIF choice of major sponsor? Surely they’d be the very last option

Anyone heard any rumours about us playing Hull City pre-season?

Should we concerned about his fitness record? 😬

With his wages I’d imagine it even have to be a free or nominal fee.

Confirmed not playing tomorrow.

Just said to my friend that’s the kinda of moments that come back to bite you. Instead of a counter attack for Dortmund ended up another corner for Real… Boom!

Off topic slightly but strange date to of picked for the 5v5 boxing. Especially as both with TNT. A week later surely would’ve made more sense 🤷🏼‍♂️

Jude has been very average in the UCL since the first leg against Man City.

Was my first thought as irrelevant as it probably is to this guy

That’s how it’s done. Mark of the man TBH and also an encouraging sign the kind of environment the new owners are cultivating. Good luck for the future…

My thoughts have really swung on Mbuemo recently. From thinking an upgrade/ideal fit/swap for Almiron to like others have said maybe not actually that big a step forward and maybe too much more of the same. Would love some more footballing brains in that position and the team as a whole. Would a MGW be able to squeeze in our team in that spot and still bring the best out of him and us? Or would he be wasted and better of looking elsewhere. Not sure how feasible but really like the look of Dani Olmo or a player of his ilk.
