Winterfell is Burning Posted February 7, 2022 Share Posted February 7, 2022 1 hour ago, Consigliere said: Seeing some reports that Flamengo have agreed a deal with United for Andreas Pereira - £12m + 25% sell on clause. That's a pretty good deal for United; Pereira is rubbish. The reports here in Brazil is that the value offered to make a deal (not closed yet) 9 million euro (which a quick look at a converter indicates is 7,6 million pounds), but yeah, even if true that would still be too much for him, specially considering in the biggest game of his life he made the mother of all mistakes. Counts in his favor the fact that the best Brazilian players that could fill his role, besides Bruno Guimarães (good luck getting him out of Newcastle), would be Gérson and Paquetá, two players Flamengo was the one that sold to Europe in the first place by a lot more than that.

So he wasn't the Arsenal player being investigated for betting fraud or did that just blow over? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soylent Brown Posted February 7, 2022 Share Posted February 7, 2022 I don't think any Arsenal players were being investigated, there was just a general investigation about a weird bet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Horse Named Stranger Posted February 7, 2022 Share Posted February 7, 2022 A somewhat sarcastic perspective on that whole betting thing would've been: So somebody bet on a Red Card, with Xhaka on the pitch. Wouldn't it be more profitable to bet on him staying on the pitch for the whole game? Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spockydog Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 Oh dear. Kurt Zouma is about to discover precisely why you should never get your brother to film you drop-kicking your cat across the kitchen. Sick bastard. Â Â Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd have wee bit of respect for him, if he did it to one of the big cats in the charity he supports, likesay a fully grown (unsedated) tiger, just to see how that one would play out.

Spockydog Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 David Moyes really is an awful human being. Remember that time he threatened a female reporter with violence for asking a few too many difficult questions. I guess nobody should be surprised that be basically just said fuck that cat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Horse Named Stranger Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 tbh, I doubt you'd drop a key player (likesasay Saka) over that video, either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rorshach Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 Mason Holgate is such a bad player. He shouldn't be, given his talent, but he has no control over his aggression levels, so he needlessly goes to hard into tackles every match, picking up silly cards. And while he does have abilities on the ball, he clearly thinks he's better than his talents allow for, leading him to misplace passes en masse. Which, if you're a CB and play short passes, is a major liabiliy. Godfrey's out, Mina's out for a period - but right now, given Holgate's useless, I think we'd be better served by playing a Branthwaite - Keane - partnership.

Soylent Brown Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 It sounds like a high quality game between Newcastle and Everton. Here's a clip of Joelinton with a special bit of skill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rorshach Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 It's a bit fun to consider Joelinton and Saint-Maximin are on the same team. One can trick the ball past five players without breaking a sweat, the other can trick himself five times without breaking a sweat.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Horse Named Stranger Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 Meanwhile United continue to actually play football. Only 1-0 up (could and arguably should've been more). They had 2 goals scratched off, so let's wait for that Burnley fluke goal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
