With Kane going, who else can possibly get the golden boot?

And Liverpool was whining about €30m for ASM being inflated

I love how City went from not interested last summer (at €43 mill) to bidding €101 mill after an "ok" season at West Ham.. I guess they were busy signing Kalvin Phillips last summer.

I heard he's the next Frimpong

Thing is though, if we get a new left back then Burn would be available as a CB second choice more often.

Botman started already from GW 2. I think he did pretty well in the early stages.

Don't even think we overpaid for Barnes given his output in the PL for the last 4 seasons and him being English. The biggest questionmark for me is Livramento, but the potensial reward is really high ofcourse.

Saw him in pre season, looks like a proper talent.

Obviously there's going to be rotation, but will Amrabat and Casemiro play together? Where does Mount fit in then with Fernandez having the offensive role? Do you think there will be games with Casemiro - Mount - Fernandez as the midfield, or is that too light?

Sabitzer + McTominay is still much stronger than some of the other midfields that we faced and didn't manage to win against. We had so many draws, but to be fair we demolished teams in our draws aswell. Just couldn't finish.

"First"

Man United is going to give Greenwood another chance. Announcement coming. You heard it here first.

They were just helping us to prepare against the stronger sides, so we can figure out how to beat them in the PL.

It's happening.

As long as we are sure that it gets done by the end of the window, can't we spend that money in the mean time? Not a cash flow issue as mentioned before. FFP calculations is not a day to day thing.

Tonali provides good cover and competition for Anderson. Can't expect Anderson to be able to play every game in all competitions.

Haaland 13 goals away from making the top 10 list already. At the age of 23.

Technically we need another LB, CB, Striker, RW after Livra to be fully set.. Obviously that's not possible. Just need to make the best out of it. If we sign Barnes and Livra for 38m and 30m, we've spent 123m - 30m (ASM) which is £93m. Maybe we can afford 1 more player, but that will technically not be enough to fight on all fronts still. Which I don't think we could've expected going into the window. Our squad was thin before the window, so that's why I'm saying we would've needed like 8 players (maybe more like 6) to be able to fully "compete on all fronts", atleast by the standards of some fans..

The amount of people saying "not god enough with the added games of European football".. Do these people know that FFP exists? How could we possibly have made our squad good enough to compete on 4 fronts without breaking the FFP rules? Sign 8 players for a total of £350 mill? I also hope for 2 more players after Barnes (Livramento + 1 more maybe), but some people on there saying we need 3 or 4 more players even if we get Livramento.. I'd say that they've done well even if all they get is these 3 in the picture. Step by step, lets be realistic..

"Players that we should've signed" Everytime they play a good game we can vent our frustration there

Maybe I phrased it to look that way, but I don't necessarily think it's injustice and that we owe him anything. I think it was the right thing to let him go now. Maybe he even wanted it himself. I just think it's a bit of a shame how it all panned out in the end with him.

One thing that's really sad about this is that if he leaves to Saudi it means that he may not get to play in the Champions League ever.. Left the moment he got there with us, after what we went through together the last years. He was linked with Champions League clubs in some windows aswell. Who knows though, maybe he will go back to Europe at some point..

Can't wait to see him do double digit goals and assists next season, then we can discuss his xA after that.
