WEHT fake Haaland?

You don't just need 'names' and 'talent' for players. You need a coach that's good and versatile tactically. And you ALSO need those 'names' and talented players to work hard and put in a shift. You don't see Foden, Salah, B. Silva, Son, etc strolling about like they're on the beach like the...

They probably got him just because he's ok in passing, and they figured we had Alisson and you had Ederson, so they probably figured "any goalkeeper that passes is good, yea! Hi Five!" -- but of course forgot to check the rest of his goalkeeping attributes. He's not the worst goalkeeper on...

Unfortunately the leagues is probably top 5 getting in this season, they may luck in. City, LFC, Arsenal, Spurs are nailed on for four spots--don't know that Villa, Brighton, West Ham or the Barcodes can hold of for an entire season. And even with Spurs, lots of hype now yes, but I'd like to...

LOL they probably only bought Onana because he can sort of pass the ball which De Gea was not good at. They saw their two main rivals' goalkeepers had elite playmaking ability, and then figured "ball passers gut, darrr" and didn't even bother checking any of his other qualities. Utter...

Unfortunately Hojlund looks better than what they’ve had for a bit. A pity top 5 gets them ECL next season. You, us and Arsenal got three locked down, so we’d need two of the barcodes, Brighton, Spurs, Villa or West Ham to come through.

Dammit Casemiro would actually be a good signing. That position can be played effectively into mid-30s provided there are other runners with end product in midfield.

1. Are these lot literally building a second squad of random midfielders? WTF 2. There's an interesting narrative developing among their fans being heavily pushed that "they haven't spent a dime", that they "haven't spent anything". Whether true or not technically about whether Glazers are...

Europa is their only hope. Hopefully they dint win that, getting into Champions league would be their lifeline. If the miss ECL next season again they are midtable for foreseeable future.

Seems they should’ve listened to their “consultants” advice at the end of last season no?

Any other clubs in Europa that’d realistically bounce them out? Roma (Mourinho)? Do eliminated champions league b-teams still get to join the Europa? On the one hand they don’t have the squad for those Thursday games. On the other, we can’t have them winning that cup.

That said Rabiot is an upgrade on all the midfielders they’ve got. Also he’s more their level at this stage (solid international player, rather than world class), and they should’ve just switched to dobb no time like him once De Jong started ghosting them, and their new MF would’ve gotten a full...

Well they wanted a consultant and while the inventor of German football turned out to be a subpar coach, he did fulfill his consultant mandate. They just didn't like what they heard I guess, but if they were just going to completely ignore him anyway for doing what they paid him to do (an...

So the Ralf, the godfather and inventor of German football, was not a very good coach. However, he did seem to do that 'consultant' thing to be fair. He himself didn't seem too impressed with the players or the setup there. They paid big bucks and made a splash about this "temporary temporary...

They'll need to hit 2 billion spending post-Ferguson within the next 3-4 years to be a regular top 4 team, let alone getting a sniff of the title. I really hope they don't' win Europa as that would get them into the Champions League. If they don't get in Champions league next season, they are...

What is a club "think-tank"????

Lot of money for someone that clearly doesn’t want to be there. De Jong will be Di Maria again.

If I’m Ten Haag I can hardly believe my luck, he won’t have to deal w “having to” start Ronaldo. He can start building his own team—though ofcourse hopefully he fails at it. Who can afford him other than the usual suspects? Im seeing Chelsea, but why would Tuchel want him? Speaking of...

Anyone read about the Godfather of football's latest presser? He doesn't seem too impressed with his players reading between the line.

I will never forgive Spurs or Arsenal if they let these into the Champions League. Now's the time to stick the knife in with decent upper mid table competition like Wolves and Newcastle with their new money sniffing. FFS, we can't be throwing them a lifeline.
