Anyone foresee a punishment for the 100+ charges being a fine (easy payable) transfer ban (tipped off so buy now) and suspended points deduction ? 100% No way Haaland signs that contract or they spunks over 100M already in Jan without one of the above being correct!

I’d bet my mortgage that it Newcastle could have got any other player from Forest in that deal apart from wood they would have. He’s never been ahead of Dubravka in the pecking order. Ruddy would have been fine. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheInfiniteOdyssey Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 Their business will likely make me look foolish in hindsight, but City’s focus on young defenders seems a bit odd. If I was a City fan, I’d be concerned about not addressing the clear lack of cover in the middle of midfield. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was famous for being ruthless and getting rid of players a year too early, but it was massively better to miss a year than be stuck with dead weight for 3+ years.

Nucasol Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 That’s the type of move that can solidify Villa’s run at the top 6. I’d back Emery and Monchi to use that well. Means those arseholes at PSG will still be sniffing for another striker. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
