    I don't want to come across as wizened and cynical here, as I really have no idea how these things work, but how much influence do you think De Ligt has on the process if you, presumably, have to get through his agent first? He'll go where he's told to go.

    PSG, top dollar all round and a permanent (cushty) seat at the top table, even if they do seem prone to bottling matters of importance (what's that to him, he's Dutch). It's not like he's going to China.

    We're being linked with Ralf Rangnick as well as SFB. I assume Ralf Rangnick is just a man who exists, goes to football matches sometimes, and people link him with Premier League jobs to give their columns some sophisticated continental stardust.

    What's driving the Sarri out business? Does he just want to go before he's inevitably pushed next season, with the best job in Italian football being available and all, or are the Chelsea hierarchy just completely mental?

    I think it might be the rare genuine 'mutual consent'. If he wanted to be there I'd have kept him, but obviously you'd go to Juve if you wanted to be in Italy anyway.

    Last summer, Villa was barely worth Ł22m. A year later, we’ve just spunked Ł22m on Wesley Moraes from Club Brugge.

    He's the father of gegenpress wankball so I imagine the press are creaming themselves at the potential Bundesligification of the league narrative.

    At any other club with a transfer ban but a huge pool of gifted young players I think he would be a good choice, but it's Chelsea so he'd probably get sacked in February when it became apparent that Christian Pulisic isn't actually that good

    It's going to be Lampard anyway and it'll be a shit show. 4th spot is genuinely up for grabs for the likes of Wolves and Leicester.

    The official Chelsea twitter is going big on Lampard nostalgia, so they're definitely appointing him.

    Sounds like potential signings for Utd this summer could be:
    Dan James (done)
    AWB (all but done)
    Rabiot (Juve also trying to get him)
    Bruno Fernandes (weird conflicting stories but overall sounds likely)
    A CB (De Ligt the dream, paying a ridiculous sum for Maguire more likely, or even failing to get anyone at all).

    Lukaku looks to be on the way out.

    Not by anyone very reliable tbh. Think it's just a case of us being linked with every young, British player who is remotely fashionable.

    Has Scottish football entered some sort of small time wormhole? I keep seeing them and Rangers tweeting in this ridiculous tone.

    Can someone explain to me how a team that makes a profit of 20-30 million quid, in a good year, manages to take out a 600 million euro loan and spend 300 million euros in the same year. That's more than their annual revenue.

    It's a bit rich that La Liga president complaining about state funded clubs when Real Madrid exist in his own backyard.

    Didn't/doesn't the 'president' of Spain own Real Madrid?

    I get that this is probably your point, but I just wanted to make sure I'm following how mental a statement it is.

    Wasn't there some dodgy shit they were doing where they sell land to the government for a squillion quid that's worth like 20p or something along those lines? I may have entirely invented that.

    They technically don't have an owner but considering that their name is Royal Madrid as bestowed to them by the King of Spain. You're not far off.

    They sold their training ground to the city of Madrid for hundreds of millions of euros and rented it back from them for a euro a year or something.

    If anyone wants some real itk rather than this Reddit amateur hour stuff, I heard from an impeccable source last night, re the Chelsea manager, that Lampard is who the club want but a few things are still to be sorted out and Frank himself is having a think about whether it's too early. Failing that, the club's second choice is Southampton's Ralph Hasenhüttl.

    Add to that that he's moaning about fair competition when his league has financial deals specifically designed in such a way as to be detrimental to non Real Madrid / Barca clubs.

    As far as I can tell, all he really wants is to be an American basketballer.
