Soylent Brown Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 Community Shield today. I know it's a glorified friendly, but it would be really nice if we could get back into the habit of winning games against big teams (without needing penalties.) That probably won't be today though, given that Adrian will be in goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ljkeane Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 Kelleher’s not fit either? That’s irritating. Arsenal are apparently going to continue to play Partey. Not the best look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polishgenius Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 The problem with scheduling friendlies against Atletico is that Atletico aren't friendly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure signing him would be ideal for Newcastle but he's a 25 year old English playmaker who got double figures for goals and the same number of assists as Kevin De Bruyne in the Premier League last year. Seems like £40 million's about as low as you're going to get for a player with that profile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I'm just comparing it to the 50+ million we wouldn't spend to close Diaby, who is younger and much better, and more what we need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Consigliere Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 Leicester aren't going to sell Maddison for £40m. It would take a lot more than that assuming Leicester are even prepared to negotiate - they haven't even signed anyone yet so I doubt they are prepared to negotiate for an important first teamer.

A Horse Named Stranger Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 3 hours ago, Mark Antony said: Odegaard is the new Arsenal captain Let's see for how long. Going by recent history, that positions doesn't seem to bring happyness. (Xhaka, Aubameyang, Gallas, Koscielny...). So two years, before AFTV drive him out of town or he wants to move to another club? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Horse Named Stranger Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 In more important news, on to the second round in the German cup. Scrappy 4-3 win against a fourth tier club. Not great, but at least not the traditional embarassment. If anybody has a spare striker and/or CAM at an affordable price. (No, Portugese rapists please).

Soylent Brown Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 The team hadn't been announced when I posted! A bit disappointing, but it's not really a surprise that Klopp is easing Nunez in gradually. Firmino does have decent games maybe 10% of the time though, so hopefully today is one of them.

Raja Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 Koscielney may have left in not the best way, but he was an excellent player & a decent captain, though he only had one season with the armband. It ended poorly but he was excellent for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
