    I thought he was a doctor? Do his talents never end?

    Goretzka has gone to Bayern on a free.

    Hopefully we can sort a deal out with Emre Can. Replacing him would be costly.

    Think you're confusing him with someone else. He's in forensics.

    Ruminegge has just come out and said Bayern have done this for 'the good of the Bundesliga' rather than letting him be poached by foreign clubs

    That's now Schalke and Leipzig they've taken their best player off for free this year. If Dortmund weren't dog shit this year they'd probably find someone to nick off them too.

    Teams would play with a high line and keep the target man away from the goal and squeeze the midfield.

    If they tried to leave a target man and a faster player on the defensive line the other team would win the midfield battle and control the game.

    You need a big strong player with a bit of pace about them really or they can get isolated no matter how good the rest of the team is.

    He didn’t and is obviously the better player, whoever Crouch’s record for them at the time they could’ve refined the system to really favour him and maximise his returns. Of course that wouldn’t be ‘good football’ or ‘the Liverpool way’ etc etc

    Drogba was orders of magnitude better in the air than Crouch.

    And no ones scored more headed goals in the league than Giroud since he signed in 2012.

    Brighton sign Jurgen Locadia from PSV for club record fee

    No idea.

    Goals in the Eredivisie, what could possibly go wrong?

    I know a couple of Eredivisie followers. They're Dutch, not just massive dangers. They both told me he's wank. Ho hum.

    He'll probably be amazing then, as is the largely inversely proportional nature of looking good in Holland versus being competent elsewhere.

    Was going to say, he's a one in three man in Holland so he'll double that here.

    Kezman 122 (105) over there. Dear dear. Dear dear dear.

    They said that about Jay Roy Grot and they were so far wrong it's hilarious.

    Locadia was the one who burst into the team with a ten minute hat trick in his first appearance or something.

    Looks like Arsenal should have used Lionel Hutz for the Sanchez deal.

    There was the Eto'o and Ibrahimovich one, but that was + cash.

    Straight swap? No idea.

    Yeah, I was thinking the same. Haven't had a good player swap deal since the Ibrahimovic/Eto'o effort, which was probably the transfer equivalent of the KT barrier for swap deals.

    David Moyes would have three titles if he had worked with this Ed Woodward instead of that crap one.

    Weren't these all just players getting thrown in with bigger transfers rather than actual straight swaps?

    No he wasn't. He opted out of the loan, and instead went back to Stuttgart. Hence, the deal was never contingent on him going to Inter, it was just a separate bit of business being conducted by the same clubs at that time.

    United twitter over the last six months has done the impossible and converted me into a massive Pep Guardiola fan. Congrats guys.

    I mean, 'Ed Woodward' is currently trending.

    I think Luke Shaw is underpaid.

    The proper lol will be this summer when Madrid try to buy everyone and realise they don't have the money.

    Luke Shaw has been donning it since he steamed into that City aggro and finally won the manager over. If he doesn't get another injury (which he will) he will probably be due a pay rise soon enough.
