    I had no idea they hadn't already signed Romero, thought it was Kulusevski and Bencantur they had on loan [and they'd be daft not to sign them up].

    Nah, it was an 'option' but they had the 5 year contract signed already apparently and the greasy Italian was involved so it was never an option, obvs. Proper bent.

    His name is Ten Hag
    I had a dream about him
    He still picks Lingard
    We've got Motherwell in the wafer
    Oh how they rock
    Telles and Dalot
    But he doesn't know who I am
    And he doesn't give a damn about me

    Cos I'm the Old Trafford barber, baby

    On a more positive note I read somewhere that City were willing to let Gundogan go this summer.

    It's an insane Spanish football program. They spout a whole load of bollocks most of the time, but one of the guys (Josep Pedrerol) is Florentino Perez's mouthpiece so you can be pretty sure any Madrid-related stories they report are coming from him.

    Either he's decided to stay at PSG and this is Madrid's way of saving face by saying their offer was completely ludicrous, or it's Perez bigging up how he chose Madrid despite the fact PSG offered him the keys to the club.

    I get the sense that Real Madrid types are doing literally anything they can for Mbappé, almost like they feel they're owed his services.

    Mbappe just "that doesn't work for me, brother"-ing anything he doesn't like.

    I want this to be true more than any other made up football rumour I've ever heard. What a glorious disaster that would be.

    Wan-Bissaka would be a perfectly good full back for anybody who doesn't need theirs to do any attacking at all.

    There would be plenty of takers (for Wan-Bissaka, anyway) but as always, he would have to take a hefty pay cut. How long is left on his contract?

    Bailly will go somewhere like Lyon. Wan-Bissaka probably back to Palace, can't imagine anyone higher entertaining him.

    He probably signed a five year deal with the option of a sixth year. This is his third season so he has two years left?

    Hence he had a lovely old time under Woy and generally doesn't look horrendous when it's a backs to the wall type performance(few times against City maybe).

    Anyway United's best transfer tactic this summer should be trying to lump as much of their shit off as possible to Newcastle. Looks like they are doing so with Henderson who I'm not sure is any better than what Newcastle already have.

    Hopefully though Eddie Howe hasn't had his fingers burned too many times by Liverpool and comes and offers big dollar for Oxlade-Chamberlain as a statement signing.

    I genuinely can't see what Lingard and Rashford could give us. The latter might help out Saint Maximin on the food bank but he's hates football.

    J-Lingz would do a job for most teams outside the top 6. Rashford is an absolute fraud. Championship bound.

    You would think anyone looking to spend on an English 'keeper this summer would just get Pope out of Burnley.

    He's miles better than Henderson for one. Does he fail the ball with feet test or something?

    If Burnley didnt have him they'd be gonners already. Though to me he looks a 'keeper that likes to be kept busy in games. If he were to go to a better team where he may not be needed until 60-70 minutes into a game he may be a bit different.

    He'd me much better than Hugo Bottlejob at Spurs but I see him likely ending up at somewhere like West 'am.

    Anyone in the market for a keeper should look no further than Jose Sa. His numbers are absurd.

    He's got 4 years left on his contract, can't imagine Wolves being interested in selling him for a non-absurd amount of money.

    Rashford had 34 goals + assists in 2019/20 and 36 in 2020/21. He's been woeful this season but he's clearly not a bad player.

    How many goals did he score? Genuinely I don't know but this goals and assists or 'goal contributions' shit is bollocks and is used to inflate players numbers. I find the recording of assists very difficult to reconcile granted there are players who provide good opportunities to others within the team De Bruyne is the most obvious example. But, I'm not having this where someone passes the ball to Ronaldo and he twats one in from 30 yards and that gets classed as an assist.

    21 in 57 appearances in 20/21 and 22 in 44 appearances in 19/20.

    Significantly better goals/game ratio than Mane over the same period (0.34 vs 0.42). Not saying he's better than Mane, just providing a comparison point of a player who is universally agreed to be excellent.

    There's obviously a decent player in there somewhere he's not the second coming or anything along those lines but he can get goals. Those stats also depend on the games the goals were scored in as I assume they aren't all scored in the Premier League and for example it's rare that Mane plays in the cup competitions. I think the difference is how much more Mane adds in general not just goals and assists(lol), he provides excellent movement which can help other players and always presses well within the team.

    I think that's probably more the thing with Rashford he doesn't strike me as a particularly clever footballer and then coupled with the fact that he doesn't seem like a hard-worker from the admittedly few occasions where I have seen him this season doesn't help his cause.

    You also wonder with Mbappe if he really wants a tilt at the Champions League why isn't he pitching up at Liverpool, City or Bayern for a couple of years and seeing where it takes him?

    As long as he is at PSG and they are run as they are he isn't winning it there.

    Only including league and champions league games:

    Rashford: 34 goals in 74 games; 0.46 goals/game
    Mane: 34 goals in 88 games; 0.38 goals/game

    As I said, my argument is not that he's better than Mane. He's just not shit.

    Well that's what he was planning to do with Real Madrid. But it seems Qatar may have offered him an amount of money he simply can't refuse.
