United's transfer dealings over the past years should definitely be something we could learn from.

 

I used to gleefully laugh when I read this sort of comment from United fans about us only 2 seasons ago.

 

The time for action is now.

 

Bring back the days of Charlie Adam and Ian Ayre turning the lights off

This guy looks a right cunt, it will be satisfyingly easy to hate hm.

 

 

[TheHowieLama]

We don't need someone to build a team - we need someone to re-build a team. Not the same.

Looks like the Predator's uglier younger brother.

I don't get all the knickers in a twist going on. It's been obvious for weeks we weren't signing a midfielder. Now we have people who have hated FSG for years and others that already written off the season crying like babies. This isn't news, our model is clear we won't take just anyone. 

 

All the twitter virgins would be pulling their tiny plums if we signed Gakpo today.

 

So, where do you see this season going? 

[Scott_M]

I’d laugh my head off if this doesn’t come off.

Fully understand what you say but unfortunately in this league you don’t get that time. At Dortmund he only really had to worry about Bayern and maybe one other.

 

Here you have City and Newcastle with unlimited funds, Chelsea spending like a modern day Brewster's Millions, Utd looking more stable and always with money to spend and now Arsenal looking like they've got their house in order. That's before you get to the likes of Brighton who are currently better than whatever we can put on the field.

I agree it will be difficult. The level of competition is harder now and the turning point for Klopp the first time - making the CL in 2017 and therefore getting all the players he wanted and making the final - he probably won't have that next season.

 

But we have to remember; he's supposed to be here till 2026. There is time to get it right.

Liverpool could make a surprise move to bolster their midfield by signing Chelsea and France midfielder N'Golo Kante, 31, who is out of contract at Stamford Bridge this summer. (El Nacional - in Spanish)

Take it this is rubbish? From the BBC website.

 

 

Some company for Arthur in the treatment room?

[Mathewbet1]

Arthur, forgotten about him bloody wage thief.

[an tha]

I for one was massively shocked that  a player who had a poor injury history, who had been injured for the latter part of the previous season, who had had no pre season and not played even in any friendlies during it, found it really difficult upon joining us on loan and broke down in training and ended up missing months....

[Jairzinho]

Palace have signed a central midfielder for 10m - Naouirou Ahamada. 

 

I've never heard of the cunt, but he's 20 and can run. I've decided we should have signed him. 

 

 

Look at him running and that. 

[John102]

At this rate it's looking like we arent even signing a youth team GK. It's like we have forgotten what made us great.

I think 4th is still possible, Guimeres is now out of our game, win at Newcastle and we will catch them. We've been quite lucky in recent weeks, Toney, Trossard and Caicedo have missed our games, the wolves goal ruled out, marginal offsides going in our favour.

Knowing us this season they'll appeal it and get ban reduced or card downgraded or something...

[No2]

Does anyone think Chelsea's billion pound team will qualify for the CL?

Ziyech off to PSG on loan

 

They paid 40 odd million for him and he has done fuck all - but to them no problem.

 

Out he goes to make way for all the shiny new even more expensive toys.

We've signed Natasha Dowie. What Mo do you want?

There was a fleeting report that Everton were interested in him. The next day he fled the country.

[Freddo]

The tories look to have sealed Fernandez. Farcical situation that's been allowed to happen at that shit house club. Free pass for having putins terrorist run the club. Helped to fund putins regime and now they can do all this. What a cunt of a sport. Cunt of a club

Fucking obscene.

This chelsea lark with 8 year contracts etc surely has to bite them in the arse down the road.

 

You would hope!

[Jose Jones]

£106 million for Enzo Fernandez has to be up there with the stupidest transfers of all time.

He cost £9 million a whole 6 months ago.

[Red Phoenix]

I hope that if we didn't sign anyone we at least aggressively monitored someone today.
