Is it a 1 year extension? My biggest fear regarding Salah was he'd sign a 2 or 3 year contract, stay at Liverpool for 1 more year, and then go to Saudi for a massive transfer fee. Salah would get his big Saudi deal and Liverpool would get their transfer fee to allow them to rebuild. That would be the worst case scenario TBH.

Real Madrid is one hell of a job. They expect you to win every single year. You could win everything for 5 years straight, but if you win nothing in the 6th year you're gone.

As was Robben, Hazard and Figo.

Very overrated. Shows you just how far Brazilian football has fallen when he is their star man. Wouldn't have got into a lot of the Brazil sides of the past.

Good. Fuck Vincent Kompany, who should never have got that job in the first place. The very definition of a system manager.

He's going to City as a replacement for Ederson.

You think others have not tried to copy him?

He's the one that's instigated this dull, possession based football that we see today. He got lucky that his great Barcelona side had the genius of Messi, the brilliance and invention of Xavi and Iniesta, so they were still great to watch. But take them away and what do you have left? You have the Man City that we saw today.

You are talking about results and title races. I'm talking about the actual football being played on the pitch. I'm sick of this insipid, possession for possessions sake style of football so many teams are adopting now. Its all very regimented with little room for flair or individuality. Nobody has their own identity now. That said, I'm probably just being an old man shouting at the clouds.

Football has become boring. More and more people are saying this now, I'm glad this school of thought is starting to gain traction in the media as well. More than anyone, I blame Pep for this.

Plus the 5 year, 350k per week contract, despite being the wrong side of 30 years old. Real Madrid played an absolute blinder getting that sort of fee for him. Just got to hope now the Saudis don't bail them out on that one, though Casemiro did say he intends to stay and see his contract out.

Used to live in East Ham. West Ham's ground was within walking distance from us.

Not for the price he would command. I read somewhere Liverpool want £40m for him.

Don't mind, Fulham. They aren't finishing above us. And if they do, we don't really deserve Europa or Champions League football next season.

Obviously Champions League would be the number 1 aim, but I'd genuinely be so excited to be in the Europa League as well. Used to love the old UEFA Cup in the 90s, which was better than the Champions League as it was back then.

It is irritating me more than it should, the amount of times people say Arreola instead of Iraola. I've even seen it done on this forum. Bournemouth are doing really well this season, so how hard can it be to get the man's name right?

Man Utd and Spurs, both useless bunch of cunts.

He's had about half a dozen injuries since he was last in the England squad. He's a shadow of the player he was, even 12 months ago.

Hope those Spurs cunts turn up against Chelsea tomorrow.

The lesser Swede. Poor man's Isak.

Would be a great second striker to rotate with Isak.

Let's be to them what Chelsea are to Brighton.

We were linked with Ouattara before he went to Bournemouth. Has had a good season with plenty of scope for further improvement. Would be a good signing.

I thought it was Rob Lee at first.

Fab never provides a link or source for these sorts of quotes. How do we know Dean Huijsen actually said that?
