Surely Trafford is one of the few goalies who could still reach World class level? he's still only 22 and conceeded 16 goals this year.

Shame we didn't get PSG vs Barca final. That is the best one for a neutral. Ah well

I wonder what would happen if you start getting Saudi Pro League players on loan

About time you benefit from Saudi Pro League players now.

Lets be honest.. Forest will fall away and Chelsea aren't a real threat whilst they are bickering with each other and have a tough fixture list. Top 5 will be. 1. Liverpool 2. Arsenal 3. City 4. Newcastle 5. Villa

He's not worth the money they want. Move on.

How much you have to spend this summer? and where you think the money will go?

https://www.youtube.com/SkySportsFootball/videos Look at their banner up the top. Most fashionable player from each of the big teams in the league.. Surely Isak for Newcastle needs to be added?

Need to go back to being a nightmare to play against, pressing monsters. Look at Villa, their success is built upon Watkins, Rodgers, McGuin et al pressing like mad men, and going direct, vertical football.

Odd.......really odd.

Some of my reasonings for Combined 11... GK Emi Martinez been fantastic, won the WC, Copa, etc.. Leader, excellent distribution and on pens. Shoe in. DF Reece James when fit is simply the best RB in the league. Cuti Romero like Emi won the WC + Copa, hard as nails, fast. Van De Ven big man mountain, super fast, together they were the best CB duo early last season before injuries. Lisandro Martinez like Cuti and Emi, won WC + Copa, excellent on the ball, can invert to midfield in build up. MF Bruno Fernandes like him or hate him has been putting up stupid creative numbers for years, if he played for a clinical team he'd be great. Caiceido was part of a Brighton duo with MacAllister who ran the midfield vs everyone year before last, embarrassed the likes of Arsenal and Liverpool. Great player. Bruno G, excellent player, can do it all. ST Cole 'Cold' Palmer, not much needs to be said, he was a top 5 player last season in the league. Isak is the 2nd best striker in the league after Haaland, wonderful player, akin to Thierry Henry. A.Gordon super fast, super tenacious, excellent winger.

I really think if De Ligt goes to Man United, they'd put Martinez in at Left back and play the 3 of them. Martinez played left back a lot of Ajax and moved into the middle too, like Zinchenko has done for Arsenal. Inverted full back role. Luke Shaw can't be relied on anymore.

I made a potential best 11 of the chasing pack. Might have jumped the gun on a couple , but lets see... What you think?

What I understand about Chelsea is that as part of Boehly being allowed to take over the club for a cheap 2.5 B, they had to commit to investing another 1.7 B. They got a scam of a deal for Abramovich's shares. So Basically Boehly is spending all this money now securing talent and future proofing them for the next 7 years, once he reaches his 1.7 B investment, I doubt we see him putting any more in. Seems they went with 1.7 B on player transfers too, rather than a much needed stadium refurb or new build.
