Wonder what team that acts like a big club will Haaland be at next year.  Far too good for the shite bundesliga for sure. 

 

Chelsea probably. 

Doesn't he have a 70m release clause that can be activated in 2022? 

I think that opens the possibility of us getting him, we should have a bit of change left over after we get M'Bappe

Can you imagine?

 

I still have no idea how and exactly when Matip got a season ending injury.

My sources tell me he was feeling adventurous and poured the milk in his cereal himself. Reckless, if you ask me.

I actually doubt it was an actual season ender.

 

4 months for that type of injury seems very extreme.

 

More a case of the straw that broke the camels back with his accumulation of injuries and club deciding he may be out again for 8 weeks, but guessing he'd probably come back and just have something else in no time.

 

So give him a clear period all way through to pre season to recover from this and all his other issues - then work on being ready for next season.

 

Personally i think its a waste of time and he should just be bin bagged.

 

Very good player, but an absolute waste of a squad place because he is so unreliable, especially given he plays in a position we have chosen to go very light in on terms of numbers.

Exactly the wrong way to handle Matip - should play anytime he is available because he won't be a couple of weeks later.

Agree.

 

Seems we had enough of asking him to push through and then keep breaking down again though.

I would seriously consider Ledley King'en him. Fuck off training entirely and just show up for games - might be able to get 15 games a year out of him.

[Jairzinho]

I'd give him a new contract.

 

Basic wage - 50p a year.

£200k appearance fee.

I'd fine every single player involved in this and let them rot in the reserves.

There could be 5 goals on this United v Soceidad game already.

 

Rashford has missed two massive chances. Soceidad are playing a high line that make us look like Burnley.

Sociedad fuck themselves up the arse

Fucking Roland Rat scores again

Half man half chimp just scored a decent goal

Bale makes it 2-0 for Spurs

Does anyone have a decent video of the referee/Ipswich player incident? I've only seen a 42 second clip, with no replay.

You're not the Judge of me!!

4 English clubs playing tonight in Europe and 5 posts in this thread. That for me sums where I'm at with Covid football, its shit. Even our own matches are a grind half the time, the idea of watching someone else is a fucking nightmare ( bar Leeds, I love watching them). If you offered me a 4th place finish and we end the season right now and start again in August I'd take the hand off you.

The dickhead has scored over 20 times this season now. They'd be royally fucked if he were to snap an ACL.

You need a bit of that to control these Sunday League players.

Neto v Rafinha, two names recently linked to us. Who do you think would be the better fit? Neto is so mature at only 20. I'm sure Wolves would ask 70m for him. I don't know much about the Brazilian though, hasn't impressed me that much except that he is a great athlete like most of the Leeds players.

I'd love Neto here

Kylian Mbappé has set West Ham fans’ hearts aflutter by insisting that his lifelong dream is to play for the London club. The Frenchman’s East End-born grandfather was a season ticket holder for decades at the Boleyn Ground.

Profile

“Wonderful player,” David Moyes told Soccer on Sunday. “It’s just whether Kylian fits the profile for what we’re building here. On paper he doesn’t, so I’d have to say ‘no’ if he was offered to me. Maybe if the lad works on tracking back, defending corners, slide-tackling — those kinds of things. But at the moment it’s a hard ‘no’.”

“I’m not singling Kylian out,” said the Scot. “It’s a ‘no’ to Messi too, and the boy Ronaldo. There’s more to football than goals and assists. Can these players charge down a shot with their face, only to take the rebound in their testicles and still have the presence of mind to break quickly?”

“I dare say they can’t,” added Moyes. “So again, it’s a ‘no’ unfortunately.”
