Consigliere

Typical United. One step forwards one season, two steps backwards the following season.

I see that Klopp has said in his press conference that Salah is 100% committed to Liverpool and confirmed that the club will reject any bid that comes in.

Luis Rubiales is apparently going rogue in what was supposed to be a press conference announcing his resignation. The Spanish FA is doing a top job capitalising on that Women’s World Cup win.

For more information - He said he has no intention of resigning, that he did nothing wrong, that the kiss was consensual, fake feminism is a scourge etc. and that he intends to take legal action against those conducting a witch hunt.

eta. his rant also got a standing ovation from the assembly.

I'd be very surprised if Liverpool entertain a sale of Salah this late in the window. Maybe they reach an agreement that he can leave next season or something. Saudi Arabia would still be more than happy to take him next year. Salah has 200 goals+assists in 220 PL games - that output will be very difficult to replace regardless. Also, top class left-footed right wingers are exceedingly rare and some managers do like playing with inverted wide forwards.

Ornstein has confirmed that Al-Ittihad's interest in Salah is concrete but Liverpool's stance is that Salah is not for sale.

That's a coup for Al Ahli. Disappointed that a talent like Veiga is heading to the Saudi league. I was surprised that only Napoli were in for him especially with the demand for CMs - he was so fucking good for Celta last season that it was absolutely worth taking a punt for around €40m for a player of that potential.

Kerry Hau reporting that Inter have agreed a fee with Bayern for Pavard (€30m + €3m in add-ons) but Bayern will only release Pavard once they've found a replacement.

Lukaku has a shit attitude and has become injury prone as well. Would have been at Inter right now had he not burned those bridges. 

That's an awful statement.

They had to have their arms twisted to do the right thing and then still put out a statement declaring Greenwood innocent.

Basically a passive-aggressive 'sorry you were offended'.

I'm suspecting we're going to have another bad season. Idk how the club can spend that kind of money and not bring in some real strikers. 

Jackson looks like a decent signing. But, given the money Chelsea have been throwing around, they should have gone for Kolo Muani. He was the best CF option on the market after Kane imo.

Antony is a shittier version of Nicolas Pepe. Of course I'm mad.

Mudryk looks like Chelsea's version of Antony although Mudryk is even worse than Antony.

Did the Moon ask to join NATO?

Moyes-ball. It ain't pretty but he gets results and delivered West Ham's first major trophy in over 40 years.

eta. Caicedo put in a disaster class. Not a good start to his Chelsea career.

On to next match, I guess, and if Useless Kenwright hasn't gotten that striker by then, I hope he emigrates. He should.

Fucking cretin.

Reports that Bayern and Salihamidžić have reached an agreement over mutual termination of his contract which ran to 2026. I believe it has already been announced previously that Christoph Freund will be taking over his role from September.

Also reports that Palace have opened talks with United for Henderson.

Well deserved win for Spain. They were by far the better side. The scoreline was flattering to England.

England lucky to be just the one goal down. Spain were all over them.

How could anyone think Mount and Bruno in a midfield three together wouldn’t get bossed every time. 
Bissouma looks a different player than he was under Conte.

EtH has poor judgement in the transfer market and United's 'structure' above the manager is pathetically weak. EtH bullied them into spending 100m on the world's most expensive fidget spinner after all. Now he insisted on spending 60m on Mount only to shoehorn him next to Casimiro which is doing Case no favours either.

Our away record under Ten Hag is dreadful.

We picked up a chupacabra cup last season but overall I'd say that Ten Hag thus far has only been marginally better than Solskjaer.
