He’s English...
I did see a stat that Felipe Anderson had more tackles than he did though.

He's as Dutch as they come in 2020.
LOL
did he not play in the under 21s or something?
Maybe I’m confusing him with the other Chelsea kid with dreads but he’s welsh...
The real question is why top clubs continue to bother with CBs who aren't physical wilderbeasts with dicks made for porn.
I see Liverpool are inked with Kelly from Bournemouth (who'd have known they had so many coveted defenders?) although that could just be because he was linked last summer when he left Bristol.
Theoretically a physical specimen who's happy/able to cover left and centre-back sounds good, but in the little I've seen of him (maybe less than 5 minutes in total) he looked a bit Traore-esque (against Leicester).
I recall thinking last summer he'd do well there having not seen a minute of him.
Always trust a man who appreciates a good milk truck.
But unfortunately, and this comes from the teachings of the dark, dark Aly Cissokho episode, his dental status suggests we're better off avoiding. The gap may be in in fashion circles but not here, mate.
One of the local French papers who are a Lille mouthpiece are saying United, Napoli and Everton all have bids in for Gabriel Magalhaes. They're probably just throwing our name in like they did with Pepe last year though tbh.
What the fuck is a Gabriel Magalhaes?
Yeah I'd never heard of him til a few days ago either
Lille have got some racket going on with their recent transfer policy.
Have they just sold that Osimhen chap to Napoli for Pepe-money? Don't they also have some midfielder everyone was being linked with for millions last year?
Its nothing compared to the Porto model of transfer profits though.
Bouhafsi chiming in on the Gabriel Magalhaes claims which is interesting.
No idea how good he is.
Age and physical stature checks out. Nationality does not.
Guardian are linking Utd to Sancho. Don't know much about him but it's an interesting rumour.
They need to get their sources right, he's retired:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brent_Sancho
Wikipedia lists him as being five eleven, so why did I think he was a manlet? Is that including his hair?
5-11 is fairly manlet.
If England pictures are anything to go off I think they are including his hair.
Salah and Mané are 5'8"/5'9", Sterling is 5'6" or something so it's not like stature is essential, or even desirable, in that position.
Transfermarkt has Sancho at 180cm though, to Salah's 175, Mané's 174 and Sterling's 170, so maybe he is (a bit) taller in the midget swarm stakes.
It still amazes me how quickly he's gone to pot.
Daniel James sliding into that famous number seven shirt.
Aaaand done. No fee, whatevs.
Won't Sanchez have basically been paid off by United to agree to that (what do they call it, a 'loyalty' payment)? I suppose it draws a line under it at least. Unlike the Ozil situation. Or Bareth.
You would re-package those wank assets as well wouldn't you you shithead banker.
U ok.
Angel Gomes going to Lille and then immediately on loan to Boavista is a bizarre one.
The reasons he wouldn't signed with us were rumoured to be either money (can't imagine Lille have offered him more) and not wanting to go on loan (??????)
Odd, but not as odd as rumour of the day Joel Matip to PSG for £50m.
Behave.
You saying that's a lot for Matip? He's fucking class tbf and his fitness may mean we don't have to deal with Joe Gomez in big games so £50m ain't enough in my eyes.
In other news, is Hammond this writer's mate or is Barnes' agent? Bit OTT to have a piece like that about the kid.
https://www.theguardian.com/football...it-loan-system
I like Matip, but given his fitness record, anyone signing him for £50m would be mental, and would clearly be indicative of some sort of Cameroonian organised crime angle at PSG after they signed Choupo-Moting whenever that was.
It is probably being unfair on Matip, when fit he'd probably get in every team in the league, in a weirdly underwhelming sort of way.
Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg looks to be on the way to Tottenham. Inter after Ndombele.
I don’t want him. I don’t know who at the club actually does.
Wasn't Hojbjerg to Everton a done thing not long ago?
I'd take the lad for £15m.

The Sun have claimed a ‘leaked video reveals Willian signs for Arsenal’
It’s a fucking FIFA video
Brilliant
