A Horse Named Stranger Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 Group A is interesting Liverpool + 1 (Ajax or Napoli) Group B is also interesting Atletico + 1 (I'd say Leverkusen over Porto). Group C Bayern and Lewandowski had to happen. Bayern Barca Inter Pilzen. In that order. Group D Spurs are favorites there. Other than that, no idea, in which order the other clubs will finish. Group E Chelsea and then either Milan or Redbull II Group F Real and Leipzig to advance. Celtic to finish third. (as much as I wished them to finish above Leipzig, that's not very likely). Group G City +1 (Sevilla or Dortmund, I am tempted to go with Dortmund due to the departures at Sevilla's defense) Group H most irrelevant group PSG, Juve to advance Benfica on third.

He keeps rejecting any offers where we might get a transfer fee so he can go to Real Betis for free. His agent is briefing the press that they expect Arsenal to capitulate in the final 72 hours of the window. Time to make an example of this fool, and his people. Let him see out the final year of his contract with the U21s. We need to nip this shit in the bud. How dare a person choose where they want to live for work. The gall!

If it was the difference of a couple million maybe, but why should arsenal lose out on 10 million (for arguments sake). He could buy himself out if it matters to him.

I mean, look at Aubameyang. Barcelona demanding £20m for a player we paid to go away. Ffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair, Betis offered 5mil, I think. Arsenal refused so now they're playing chicken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polishgenius Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 Looks like we've discovered an alternate seal of quality Ten Hag will accept in lieu of having personally raised the player from childhood- winning at least 3 Champion's League medals.

That really shows the financial distortion of the PL: you have all four teams as favorites for their group, despite three of them sitting in Pot 2. Liverpool will have to get their heads out of their asses sharpish. Ajax are a wild card depending on how many coaches and players United ultimately take. Napoli have been very tough opponents for us in the CL over recent years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Horse Named Stranger Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 Spurs got lucky with the draw, as Frankfurt ended up in Pot 1 as a result of their EL triumph. And Spurs also upgraded their squad significantly. Had Spurs ended up in a Group with Real, or Bayern, then I wouldn't have picked them as favorites. But Frankfurt were the easiest team from pot 1. As for CHelsea, I don't rate the Italian teams that highly atm. An aging Zlatan is still Milan's star player. Good team, but hardly something that puts the fear of God into you. City are among the overall favorites. Liverpool are also in the running to win the CL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might as well just give Diallo and Pellistri a chance. Injuries have really fucked up Asensio. He's got no pace at all, offers little creativity and is basically Juan Mata in his later years with us.

ljkeane Posted August 25, 2022 Author Share Posted August 25, 2022 Delle Alli's gone on loan to Besiktas. It's pretty grim that he can't even get close to an Everton side desperate for someone to score some goals for them. I can't believe he's only 26, it feels like he should be older after being rubbish for so long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Horse Named Stranger Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 I am curious, whether Odoi can get his career off the ground, or if it ends up as the same story of unfulfilled potential Alli is living right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teng Ai Hui Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 Yesterday, I watched the first 2 episodes of the Welcome to Wrexham docu-series. It did a good job of making me want to root for Wrexham and for Reynolds and McElhenney. I just wish that the run times were longer. Also, this seems like the perfect thing to start after All or Nothing: Arsenal just ended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
