Find it really hard to see how Newcastle are going to stay up. Rondon was their most important player and he's a gonner too. It's an awful squad. Who are they going to hire that's going to give them any chance?
Still available at 3/1 if anyone can be arsed having money tied up for ten months.
Everyone playing Premier League football is good, imo.
I genuinely had no idea that Rob Holding was one of England's best defenders (or least, could have been were in not for Arsenal being Arsenal). You learn something new every day.
Doesn’t matter how many years United are terrible, they’ll always be able to offer insane contracts to 7/10 players. They’re like Goldman Sachs, in a way. And who doesn’t want to support Goldman Sachs
Rashford is a 5/10, De Gea is a 8/10 who’s just had a 4/10 season
One of the ITKs who's been spot on the last couple of weeks is still saying De Ligt is coming
Available at 20/1 in case you're a fan of money.
I am, so will be avoiding.
Rodri(go) to City for €70m seems to be done.
Yaya Toure has signed for some chinese division two team. Vaz Te is also playing for them.
Clearly not watched many 90 minutes of ours last year then? Holding was the best defender in the side last year by a distance, whilst Ghendouzi, whilst inconsistent is still precocious enough to warrant game time over the likes of El Neny and errr... fuck who else do we have behind Xhaka and Torreira?!
The real question marks are largely over those we’ve spent plenty on or who were meant to be established internationals - this sums it up nicely and I can’t disagree with any of the assessments:
Edit - why isn’t tweet sticking...?

I can see the tweet embedded nice. Interesting perspective you have, but they are both still not good enough to represent Arsenal. Arsenal want to win, not just compete.
Joao Felix and Hector Herrera to Atletico
https://www.mancity.com/news/first-t...-latest-update
Angelino (who?) and Rodrigo to City.
Angelino was a City player wasn't he and they've claused him back after doing well at PSV? Presumably some sort of FFP fudge on the loan system.
Leicester are really willing to buy Ayoze Perez for £30m? We only bought him for £1.5m.
Frank Lampard to Chelsea is done, but they're waiting until tomorrow to announce it because social media websites have been down today.
It's fucking bonkers that in an age where clever, well run football clubs are doing well, Chelsea and Manchester United have chosen to appoint two ex-players with minimal managerial experience as their managers.
From the sort of logic that is being used to run Chelsea, Lampard is actually a very clever appointment. The last two years have just been a parade of toxic negativity, whether it's the team being shite, or the transfer ban, or anti-Semitism/discrimination/homophobia (don't know if this cuts through to the general football audience but it's a MASSIVE issue within the Chelsea support, dividing it straight down the middle), or that bloke screaming at Raheem Sterling.
They've spotted the unique brand of unconditional fan adulation that Hudson-Odoi and particularly Loftus-Cheek have received this season in comparison to other players who actually deliver more, and they've applied that same logic to the managerial appointment. Even if we come 13th, the fans won't turn on Lampard. It's very astute PR. Football wise, complete punt.
It might be a case that £30m was a release clause too, so Leicester may have wanted to just get it over and done with. I'll miss Ayoze. A lot of our players deserve better so I wish him well. I was tempted to just start supporting Rafa but I'm obviously not going to watch Chinese football. I'm done with Newcastle until Ashley goes, though.
United fanbase is quite different to the Chelsea one, I think. United fans expect Ferguson-era winning machines (and have retroactively tagged 'attacking football' onto that as well, making the job completely impossible). Chelsea fans expect a lot less, but are more chavvy about it so personal cults are stronger.
It's a punt but it makes sense in the context of the way the club is being run at the moment. If we got some clever Euro-god in as manager now it would be a complete waste because he would hate it within a year and leave.
I haven't seen many people turning against Ole Gunnar Binman. He's one of very few people at the club who isn't disliked at the moment.
The Italian journalists are backtracking on De Ligt, just like the PSG and Barca ones before them.
He's coming to Utd boys, it's on.
Get on that 20/1 and hire one of those plane banners for the next Orlando game.
Wait, why Orlando.
Ooooh to troll me specifically haha I get it now that's fun.
Or because United play there every year because of the ownership.
I'm pretty sure Manchester United have literally never once played in Orlando.
The ownership group is based out of Tampa and Palm Beach.
No idea how they come to a players value. For me Wan-Bissaka and Zaha are around the same value as with Bissaka, you are paying for ”possible potential”. With Zaha, you already know what you are paying for. He is already established as a good player. Is he really going to move up a level once he leaves Palace?
I think Zaha could if not entirely replicate the progress Mané has made at Liverpool then at least get close to it if he played at that level. The idea that his value is equivalent to Wan-Bissake either grossly overrates one, or underrates the other. Not least in terms of value to Palace themselves, where Zaha is probably worth close to their Premier League status.
He's definitely got the ability, it's just whether he has the drive or whatever you want to call it to get there at a bigger club having already sort of failed once.
Im all for buying the best players at shit clubs and they then make the step-up. But Zaha does.not give me that same hype as others in similar positions as him. Ive been wrong a lot lately and may be wrong again
Zaha strikes me as the type to be undone by a deep lying defence. At a top club he'd just run into congestion and lose the ball. He's nowhere near clinical enough either.

ITKs saying De Gea contract extension agreed.
Keep the ITK gold coming
If there's any hint of anything going on for United on deadline day Randrew will be going full Jim White.
I can't pretend any different, I love this shit.
Buffon has returned to Juventus on a free
Mak£s you wonder why he l€ft in the fir$t place.
I think he may be my absolute least favourite footballer. Appalling man.
Fahrmann to Norwich. If he can get over last season that will be a very good signing
