It's funny isn't it, Tripps coming up, he's clearly basically club captain but no-one has the heart to take it off Lascelles. Don't disagree would be unnecessarily harsh on Lascelles, and the squad seem full of leaders who don't step on each others toes so what's the harm but still it's kinda clear he's the proper leader

As I understand it didn't they charter a cheap flight with an unqualified pilot for the journey? And on further assumption no-one has suffered any actual consequences for this £5m feels the least of it

Says they are appealing

Man U have played such a role in inflating prices would be a bit rich of them to complain

Fucking hell how deep is the puncturing in acupuncture lol

FFS was about to make the same joke

Yeah wtf dissing Ritchie, now he is a limited footballer who no longer has a place, but his attitude has been top notch, he has been a leader and he called Bacon a prick and still couldnt be dropped by him. he is owed some respect, and while we have a lot more money now there's no reason we should suddenly become pricks sneering at footballers that maybe aren't good enough for the club anymore but have been good loyal servants in difficult times.

Oh man would love a proper deep mid to free up Bruno from defensive duties and let Joelinton rampage forward what a mid that would be

Knowing Howe even if he's available he's not going to be rushed in so probably get 5 minutes at end of game lol

Having multiple threats up front is going to make so much difference, opening up space not just for ASM but for Wilson and Willock as well.

Despite my moral reservations about our Chairman I do enjoy that despite him being in charge of more money than pretty much anyone else in the world and a serious power player, rather than being sensibly detached and overseeing he's watching our games and thinks fuck it lets spend £60m so this is more fun next time i come lol

Life comes at you fast

Boo

Well maybe not, I do have a suspicion he has been blocking the sales to act the martyr when they don't sign anyone. Not that I blame him too much, no guarantee they will replace them with anyone of standard.

I can't believe how quickly we're a high intensity pressing team considering the years of ponderous incompetent "build up" play

I keep forgetting Rodgers managed two 5th place finishes with Leicester, (albeit 1 should have been a 4th place with a disasterous end of season iirc) which is actually very impressive. I still somehow struggle to be impressed by him. He is definitely on way out though, clearly unhappy with lack of transfers, owners looking to sell I read and a squad in need of a rebuild. I think he'd rather go now reputation somewhat intact than struggle for a few seasons until new investment comes in. If he wanted long term he would have sold Fofana nad Maddison by now and rebuilt squad with profits but I don't think he wants to.

Only six? Worrying.

We have missed that kind of ruthlessness lol

We have to register him by midday for him to play Sunday right?

Don't man city always draw Dortmund somehow?

Hmm first choice I reckon may still be Wilson with Isak on the right. Plays that, hardly hurts Salah's scoring.

Quick make sure this sign is rolled out quickly

Just flew past me (well there or thereabouts)

Come on tripper nearly cost us a few times
