'Even allowing for inflation, this thread is not worth 198 Terry Francises' - EPL 2017-18

from what I've been reading he's got some impressive end product and a tremendous work rate, somehow we managed to get out of the champo without a player like that, and then survive a prem season with the same deficiency!

I'm sort of excited because him going implies a like for like replacement to me and God knows

Or

This could be the start of the "club as business" phase, for Fosun and Mendes

the Belgium press are reporting we've already signed another winger, Anthony Limbombe from Club Brugge for 12m euros, so VLP can get his dream move to bigger club now!

Looks like the Cav move to Town has broken down:( or :)!

Dutch midfielder Juninho Bacuna (Groningen) is off to Huddersfield, apparently.

as long as he's competition for Mooy, rather than a replacement, I'm cool!

He's way too inexperienced to replace Mooy, but tbh I think it's a good (and cheap) gamble! He's young and brash but undeniably talented. Dutch top 3 (PSV, Ajax, Feyenoord) have been sleeping on him.

that's good to hear, and Mooy says he wants to stay at Town anyway, and isn't the type for bullshit player blandishments and he clearly values his relationship with Wagner.

shurely a 'shop?

It's all over the media but I suppose these days that doesn't exactly confirm its veracity

when i saw that yesterday i couldn't spot what was wrong with it, but oh bloody hell & deary me fam

"Eye for detail"

oh

oh dear

last time i dressed like that I was surrounded by nuns and on my way to First Communion, bless him.

He might end up needing to take sacramental confession soon: "Bless me Father, for I was recently mistaken for a top-class football manager and did nothing to dissuade ppl of this false notion.."

Soton's Dusan Tadic is off to Ajax for abt 10m.

Seems like a bargain. Can't imagine there wasn't any interest for him in England. The appeal of playing 8 matches per year on astroturf and finishing second in Holland must have sealed the deal for him.

jesus thats a good price

xp

or not fucking being managed by Hughes!

haha yeah that sounds plausible

lads i think the us elections just fucked up AOC for us an all

This doesn't seem to have made much of a splash in the UK media

legend twp cast out to the soccerball wastelands

he must've done a hundred adverts by now yet still manages to make every one look like the first

dcuntied

lol

We all know why Tesla's AC beat DC- DC required big fat and thick cables that cost too much, and had little range!

new two year deal for fellaini at united, worth upwards of £100,000 a week. he made five starts last season iirc

maybe this is just so we can sell him for £10m at christmas, who knows

He's been hawking himself for free for the last six months with absolutely no takers

The season is ruined

he has a use imo
england struggled with him yesterday

lol nn

utd struggled with him the past few years iirc

he does have his uses yes - he scored 4 goals in the prem last year, but with the players united have got, there's just no way we should be relying on him to come off the bench to rescue us. if he stays and martial goes, i'm calling for jose's head on a spike

image now of fellaini/volleyball/joses head

united could probably put out a half-decent volleyball side tbh - tallest squad in the prem i think, now that west brom have gone down

apparently Neves has just accepted a new 5 year contract off us, afternoon keeps getting better

suggestions on the E&S for the new striker we apparently desperately need, all done with a straight face as far as i can tell: Gayle, Defoe, Cavani.

fucking crying here.

Marcus Gayle right

Somebody had to explain to a bloke that this Calavalani lad who looked really good on telly for Uruguay was a PSG player and might be out of our price range

Chris (xp)

cavani has said that his earliest football memory is being huddled around a black and white tv in the montevideo barrio when he grew up watching the 1960 fa cup final, so...

ciao antonio:

bombshell

he's obviously been on the verge all summer but melania turns up and has a game of bowls with the chelsea pensioners and then he's gone within the hour just saying like

we just got Erik Durm from Borussia Dortmund. Versatile but injury prone fullback who was part of the Germany wc winning squad of '14. Wagner was the one who originally signed him at BD, and it sounds like we have just bought out the last year of his contract. It'll do for me.

is shaqiri to lfc official

still waiting for the double-eagle thumbs up!

oh no its offish!
