Fake News.
Phonics never ceases to amaze.
Even Mahow piling in, truly on the ropes.
Even Mahow?

Good signing that.
I'm a twit
Huddersfield have signed Eric Durm from Dortmund.
Good signing for backup. D.Sturridge is still a Liverpool player. Completely forgot he excisted.
I'm starting to worry that Liverpool will win the league, perhaps even with immense ease.
Looking at how the squads are shaping up so far, these are the teams I would worry about: Bournemouth, Newcastle, Cardiff, Chelsea, Everton.
I always worry about Newcastle. I really hope we're not waiting for bodies to leave before bringing people in.
The one great asset Newcastle have is Benitez. Need to keep him at all costs. Their players are just a load of utter crap on the wrong end of their careers, with the singular exception of Lascelles (and Kenedy I guess).
Shaqiri is never a good signing for liverpool, hes about their 4th best winger and where are all those predictable crosses going to go? Hell be out at the end of the season
pretty crazy that James Morrison is the 4th most expensive player of all time
That's Kiko you prick.
Clearly Mellin.
Unfortunately that is exactly what's happening, again. The club is in the middle of one of those transfer merry-go-rounds that saw Giroud move to Chelsea. Shaqiri going to Liverpool means Stoke can buy Ritchie, which means Newcastle can then buy Townsend and then Palace can sign Antonio.
Selling Mbemba will bring us a new backup defender. Mitrovic to Fulham brings a new striker (seems like it might be Rondon) and selling Merino funds...a curry night for MASH Holdings.
Benitez has obviously played a good bit of FM, so he knows what he needs to do at least.
Rondon on his own up top is awful. The man needs a 4-4-2.
I quite like him, seems far more mobile than most would give him credit for and has a banging strike on him. He'll have his flaws, but he's going to be a significantly better player than Gayle/Joselu. He's also been managed by Tony Pulis, Gary Megson and Alan Pardew so far in this country.
It'll probably end up being Shefki Kuqi anyway.
Jamal Blackman is joining Leeds on loan. I can remember loaning him on FM back in 2008. Has he saved a shot with Chelsea in a competitive game yet? Surely he is about 30.
Shaqiri's a shite signing.
EDIT: Wait, he's only 26? I thought he was about 32. Not that bad then, I guess.
I think you'll find it's 'good business'.
He's 24, his twitter handle is @Big_Blacks, and he's played 98 senior games (though none for Chelsea).
Both Sarri & Jorginho official today to Chelsea.
Looking forward to the octuple pivot that Chelsea appear to be working towards.
Chelsea are a football team who play in the English Premier League. They are based in London and their home ground is Stamford Bridge.
Hayden's made a transfer request for family reasons. Jack Colback's off to Forest so that can only mean one thing:
Jack Rodwell is making the trip.
What type of player is this Jorginho as his stats for a midfielder is awful.
He doesn't have as many goals as Giroud, that's true.
Are City getting a bit twitchy about the fair play rules this summer?
He's gone then.
Door is open at Real Madrid but do they really want him...
Is he clinical enough to replace Ronaldo. I dont think he is and there may be better long term options for Madrid such as Mbappe as ann example
He's the best player in the Premier League for me. He's only shackled by a team that whilst very good, doesn't play to suit him, plus the revolving door of forwards he's playing with and managerial styles don't help either.
If he wants to go to Madrid, they will 100% buy him.
It will be interesting to see how Madrid go in Europe without Ronaldo. You can't replace him, but radically transforming their playing style won't immediately work either, so I can see it all descending into a sideways passing mess for a year or two, by which time the current bin man will have been chucked and then who knows.
He'll do. He won't bring Ronaldo's goals but might offer a supply for someone like Benzema.
