    Why are players even going there if it's not certain they can be registered?

    It won't happen but it would be hilarious if they actually end up unable to register them.

    This fellow details how they probably can do it. I would guess Lewandowski's people were assured of this prior to signing, else RL should become his agent.

    Barcelona are selling their soul to the devil again tomorrow to secure hundreds of more millions so Kounde will probably join them.

    Don't need anyone, have you seen their quick passing in pre-season? He's also started fining people for lateness which is more evidence of the man's calibre.

    Been rattled for almost a decade now and long may it continue. Man really thought they could live out the rest of their days in peace pretending they don't take much interest in football any more but all it takes is a managerial appointment or a resetting of the scoreboards for a new season for them to come out the woodwork temporarily.

    By all reports, there is no plan B. Ten Hag himself all but said as much in an interview the other day.

    Barca have activated the second LEVER today which means they can spend all of the money from any sales rather than a third. If that wasn't the hold-up and it doesn't start moving after, I'm officially in camp "not happening".

    So when we finally give up on that and presumably don't sign any attackers because Liverpool took our one idea and there's little point unless we get shot of Ronaldo or one of the others we're looking at a summer where we've signed a dead bloke, a midget centre half and a left back we don't need?

    I'm already excited for the season.

    Don't be so negative.

    We'll probably drop €80m on Antony.

    180-200k a week is what's reported.

    I guess on a one year deal it's not actually a ridiculous amount of money in total (given there's no transfer fee), but you'd have to imagine the other 10 players in the team won't feel overjoyed that fucking Jesse Lingard is getting paid more than all of them put together.

    Such a bad signing by Forest. The idea that because someone played for United means they are worth smashing your club's finances open for just will not shift.

    There's definitely a 'came through at United, set for life' mentality in football. James Chester is one of the worst footballers I've seen and he's been a mainstay in semi-decent teams since he left United over 10 years ago, and even has loads of international caps.

    You could understand it in the Fergie days as he was bigger than the English game and controlled a large number of managers/clubs as clients, but these days it's inexplicable.

    It's basically a Micro-version of what the UK does on the world stage. We only have anyone listen to us because we were once powerful. PM LTringz may finally put that to bed once and for all though.

    He might be a cunt but he bangs from midfield at a rate better than 1 in 2, this ain't fucking Scott McTominay we're talking about.

    The last 2 seasons where he scored 11 goals in 32 games in the Prem?

    1 in 3 is still decent, let's be fair. The geezer is a tosser, but goals are generally what newly promoted sides struggle with.

    If you cherry-pick stats, sure. Over his career he has a less than 1-in-6 rate over nearly 300 games.

    I would say bringing up his stats from 5 years ago to water down stats from the last 2 years is cherry-picking.

    This is some top-notch toxic ex-girlfriend stuff.

    By the last 2 years, it's literally just his 16 game spell at West Ham where he was good and scored 9 in 16. The season before he scored 2.

    I think basing your overall assessment of a player's level on half a season of good performances is unwise.

    Thank fuck Forest saved us from buying him. Bang average player that had a purple patch when playing for us.

    How Forest think 180k a week on that mercenary is good value I'll never know, and the coward would only sign a 1 year deal for them
