Is there anything remotely surprising that we don't? Can't buy wheelie bins for ice baths if you've got to pay a nutritionist you know

I'm more curious as to why when you see on social media and in the press our 'possible future team' he is invariably in it. Yeah....can spend loads on Neymar, MBappe etc, but still got Shelvey in there.

Back to handing out reserve team sheets

It's very simple....club has money, any player who has ever given an indication of wanting to move, or a player deemed too good for a team/not playing will be linked. Given a media outlet anyone can make up any rumour they like. If I was writing for the Sun I could start a transfer rumour that we were looking at Will Grigg and someone would believe it

They are the epitome of the next gen PFMs. Got their jobs because of names and reputations as players

2 hours after the window closed as the fax wasn't working

Surely the fact that the takeover happened proved conclusively beyond doubt that Edwards hasn't got a clue

Well most will be now playing for their futures, so fully expect an extra yard of pace, and better more accurate passing. Most of them knew they were untouchable under Bruce so have been too happy and comfortable to coast through games doing the bare minimum

It would take staggering levels of incompetence to get relegated now. Doesn't mean it's not possible, but just can't see it any more

Quite like the idea of taking Saka off Arsenal...just to annoy them

They absolutely would have. There would have been a few puff pieces about how terrible PIF and KSA, but nothing like this leftie hysteria going on at the minute. Long and the short is that this has upset the 'rich 6', they don't like it, and most of the media is completely beholden to them

I made that point about Kelly's 'suicide' the other day. No way that wasn't and MI5/6 or higher job. Wanders into the woods and kills himself after being proved right that Iraq didn't have nuclear weapons....yeah right

Hear plenty about long suffering Arsenal now a days

And? We are now literally the richest football team in history

A cheque with 7 zeros says he would

I would happily wager that pretty much every country has it's dirty little secrets of making people disappear, persecuting minorities and LGQT, that simply just don't make the news. Who was that weapons inspector we sent to Iraq who turned up dead in the woods by 'suicide'?

No. Legend that he is, he is long past managing in the premier league. Why not just wave a huge fat cheque at Klopp, and see if he's tempted by playing Premier League football with all cheat modes enabled?

Awful as they are, Bin Salman is the most progressive leader they've had in almost 100 years. He's got a good record of loosening up the State, while still promoting some lets say suspect practices. You cant change a nations entire structure overnight to fit with Western ideals. Surely Afghanistan has proved that....20 years of 'democratic' intervention, and look who's back in charge...the very people who were supposed to be removed/.

So what...let them hate. Give them 14 years of complete misery and see if they're not doing the exact same thing

What about Simeone?

Didn't do Rodgers any harm

Being liked is overrated theses days. Definitely a Sunderland thing where having football friends seems to matter

Plenty of good players match that description

Im sure he would if they wave a cheque at him with a lot of zeros on it
