Have they turned the corner ?

Think they're still at the crossroads.

 

[The Future’s Blue!]

I thought Pep wanted to keep Garcia.

It was just that little Eric wanted to join the Spanish rags.

If Pep wanted him to stay, he would’ve stayed ;-)

 

[chedinho]

You'd never heard of the midget until a few days ago you fucking chancer.

That’s a few more days than me tbf lol

OK.

If you say so.

 

[blue b4 the moon]

Another final piece of the jigsaw.

Don't say it, don't say it.

 

[I'm With Stupid]

They’ve bought a 5ft 9 centre back, for the PL? That will go well.

And what’s this ‘butcher’ bollocks the BBC are buying into? Bunch of fucking sausages all of them.

Well since he's joined them, he'll have no problem hacking down players without punishment.

Ten Hag reminds me of when Hughes joined us. Just buying up all his old players because he already knows them. It's not necessarily wrong to bring in players you know, but when that's your only transfer strategy...

 

[I'm With Stupid]

They keep saying it’s fine cos he can jump. Failing to acknowledge that if the 6 foot+ player he’s marking can also jump (and many of them can) then he is still going to be easily out jumped.

Yeah, I like Ake, but he's not winning a lot of headers against a much taller player. And Ake is a giant compared to this guy.

 

[The Future’s Blue!]

OK.

If you say so.

Sorry, came across a little abrupt. Didn’t mean to.

 

[Gingers Dad]

It's started!

Remember, this is The Eredivisie compared to the Premier League.

Premier league centre forwards will be shitting themselves

 

[tommybooth]

I thought his nickname was little dick of Amsterdam.

I hope they don't get rid of Slabhead. His comedic value alone justifies his place in the first team - for us who like a laugh.

 

[jrb]

Were a new pair of step ladders part of the Martinez transfer deal to United, because he’s going to need them against Haaland and in the PL.

 

[KentBlue]

Was it Derby County who once had the shortest goalkeeper to ever play?

 

[N1985]

Was it Derby County who once had the shortest goalkeeper to ever play?

Nope it was Wayne Rooneys Derby County.

 

[KS55]

Harry Dowd was quite small, but he had a leap like a gazelle.

 

[I'm With Stupid]

He's 5'9 and because Cannavaro was also 5'9, they now think they've bought the next Cannavaro.

They’re going to make him the midfield play maker ;-)

 

[KentBlue]

According to the BBC webpages De Jong would rather go to Bayern than the rags. It's okay though, 'cos they didn't really want him anyway.

 

[blue by birth]

Have you watched him. He was their best player last season and has also pocketed Haaland. Left-footed and ace on the ball. He also has a good leap and is aggressive in the air, I’d back him to do better in aerial duels then taller CB’s like Pau Torres.

The only thing he will pocket will be a fucking huge wage...he won't be pocketing any medals...

Who would want him at the price they would ask ?
