    I seem to remember him being good in one (possibly both) of the United games this season, but those performances said more about United than him. Can't they just kidnap Toby Alderweireld from the airport?

    There's a heap of defenders we'd be better of signing for that.

    He was worth it for the spitting and diving. Fantastic entertainment.

    Don’t see us selling Maguire at all this window tbh. Especially after losing Mahrez and with such a short amount of time left in the window.

    Season starts in two weeks

    It really does creep up on you. World Cup helped speed things up. Where is the 'Season Expectations thread'

    Can someone think of an example where it actually happened, where a player (who wasn't already at a top club) did an amazing World Cup and then turned out to be worth the price?
    James Rodriguez? I know he fell out of favour at Real and is at Bayern, but by all accounts he was actually very good at Madrid when he played and has been amazing for Bayern too.

    In this case the 'premium' makes up the majority of the amount.

    Yeah, I agree. Im going to stop commenting on fees and trying to justify every move based on it.

    Nobody cares about the cost, only that it would be him instead of a better player.

    I reckon he's a bit of a colossus.

    Rather spaff that on him than some dickhead like Jerome Boateng.

    We want to bin Rojo, Damien and martial. If we replace with slab and Perisic then I suppose that's a good summer.

    Perisic who'll be 30 in February and cost a bomb as well.

    We'll have to replace half the team in about 2 years if we keep on like this.

    Sounds like Muto is on. Mats Sels went but I'm not sure of the fee. I'm hoping we're not done for the window.

    By the time Perisic is done they could sign Chong back from wherever he escaped to.

    Jose has an excellent record when leaving clubs and they then implode for a few seasons.

    He's gone to Inter Milan from Lazio. Suspiciously right after Inter beat Lazio on the final day, in which De Vrij gave away a penalty, in order for Inter to make the Champions League over them.

    Balls.

    Koulibaly and Bailly would be monstrous but i can't see it happening sadly.

    I saw a rumour of Varane but after his World Cup it would take a huge offer.

    Hadn't de Vrij already agreed to go to Inter before that game (not that that makes it any less )?

    Slabhead is legit quality. Not £100m but he is really good. He’ll iron out a few little lapses with time and experience. He ain’t going though.

    I was reading 'The Secret Footballer' recently and in it, there's a bizarre passage in which among other race-based gubbins, he claims that you should never have two black centre halves playing together. I reckon Mourinho would be a subscriber to that sort of nonsense.

    Where do you read that? Is there something online other than the books?

    No, I was reading (or rather listening to the audiobook of) the most recent book. Aside from a few lol passages which you can definitely trace to being about well known individuals, it's largely a load of bullshit.

    I always thought it was really banal shit when I saw the column. If it was a journalist making the same observations and quoting 'sources' he would be nowhere.

    I haven't read all his output, but in this one there's a class section that is clearly about Harry Redknapp and an even better section which is clearly about Tony Pulis. Most of it is just warbling shite though.

    I sort of agree with that statement though. Black defenders can't head footballs.

    Either the goalkeeper shirt is ridiculous tight or Cech is on some sort of gorilla steroid.

    SSN are reporting that Jordan Pickford is Chelsea's main target if Courtois leaves with one year left on his deal. Its at yellow at the bottom of the screen.

    That save in the World Cup before Colombia scored the header was ridiculously good.

    Agreed.

    He had a great World Cup but he was pretty shaky at times last season.

    In fairness, most keepers are a downgrade from Courtois IMO.

    I realize you can't just throw money at people because it fucks up your negotiating position later on because clubs know you'll pay them whatever they ask but at some point Manchester United needs to use their 5048 noodle sponsors for good.

    If Daniel Levy is such a grasping slaphead as to DEMAND fifty million quid for somebody almost out of contract, then surely he won't turn down forty as the clock starts ticking. Unless he's still SEETHING about being donned over Berbatoss. I don't know.

    Well, sure, but it's not as if he came without any cost on top of that.
