Deuce

We have at least two CBs who are better than Maguire.

We’d be fucking toast if we had to buy our slot in the league.

Proud English midfield 3 of Colback-Shelvey-McCarthy

It’s a step up from Palace, he’s more likely to play for Everton than Arsenal, etc.

Set me straight if I’m wrong here: our reserve squad is U-23, but any players 21+ (or who at least make it under the line for that season) have to also be included in the senior squad?

That’s a coup for Everton.

They even have golf courses in China?

Looks like a tweaker

It’s not too uncommon now. Most promoted clubs go for it and spend the TV money to try and compete. They also have very few assets who will go for huge money to affect their ‘net spend’. We have the third richest owners in English football too, which helps. The Sawiris family are eye wateringly minted and Wes Edens isn't short of a few quid either Most importantly, they're not just throwing money in and hoping for the best, they've appointed a coach with a good paying style and the brief to get the whole club playing that way, appointed a head of recruitment (Pitarch) who has put together a Europe wide scouting system and put in place a CEO who has done the job at Chelsea and Liverpool. Apparently they had two plans - players they wanted, basically - put together last season, one for if we stayed down, one for if we went up. That's the sort of sensible spending we didn't have with Lerner, who threw money in and let MON run things Exactly what Fulham fans were saying last Summer. Came up thinking their spending and “playing style” would rip up the Premier League too. Instead the Premier League ripped them up Which I predicted Jesus Christ man, just fuck off.

If he looks even marginally decent playing for our dumpster fire team, he’ll get a move away to a real club after a season or two.

This is a very good post.

Gonna depend on Lampard imo. We’ll see if he’s up to the challenge of managing in the PL. Hazard aside, the rest of their squad remains virtually the same as last season. Losing him is obviously a blow and they can’t replace him directly. But people are underestimating Pulisic. He’s got loads of talent. Along with the likes of Loftus-Cheek, Hudson-Odoi, Abraham, Mount, Chalobah, et. al, they’re well stocked for the future. Might well be a “down” year for them, but I expect they’ll at least qualify for Europe while getting these young guys integrated.

Primera/primeira Liga could also be Portugal Portugal was my first thought.

Ah, of course they’re the one zany club with a massive rectangle in the center of the shirt that’s not traditionally a space for a sponsor. Now it just looks as though nobody wanted to sponsor their sorry asses.

Why would they include a sponsor box then

The happy clappers are gonna love this.

Pretty sure Bruce won't be sitting on him during the games, so yes. He will be directing the team to launch 50 yard Balls at him though and will drop him the second we get a bad result Even under Pardew (a worse manager) the likes of Ba and Cabaye still managed to excel. Your post is so over the top. But the point is nothing matters now, don't you agree? If anything we want him to fail as we want SD United to fail. People discussing signings, formations etc like it matters anymore is mad, and i have to question anyone doing so whether they fully understand what is going on. I'm sorry like but I'll never bring myself to actively want my club to lose, if only because losing doesn't change anything. Ashley will still be here, the sports direct logos will still surround the stadium... If anything I feel like we're more likely to be sold by having a fluke season like the Pardew one and showing would-be investors the potential... Is renewing season tickets and buying merch a mugs game? Aye, it probably is. But ostracising fellow fans for wanting the club to do well? Nah, that's not on in my opinion. When you actively want the club to lose, when it means nothing to you, that's when Ashley won. Newsflash ! Ashley won 11 years ago ... Aye He won a long fucking time ago. He's just obliterated the club and no-one is doing anything. But carry on wondering whether or not Big Jo Linton is good value for money, by all means. What you doing mate? Apart from angrily spamming a forum of course. I've done plenty "mate", but nowadays? I am now doing fuck all, because nobody else is interested in doing anything to save their club. Maybe Big Jo will knock in 8 goals this season and bring back the magic though? Who knows. So nothing then buddy. Well pal, stop pestering everyone else then. Bet Che didn't chuck a tantrum and give up cos other people didn't join him. Chum. Che got a bullet to the head and his legacy is dipshit teenagers wearing t-shirts of his mug sooo...

Jan Michael Vincent?

I’d be interested to see how they structure it. They’d have to expand to at least 20 clubs for sure.

He’s not like. He’s easily good enough to start at this level.

That’s what it feels like.
