2699495, Paul Pogba ain't got no love for Death Row?!? (Summer 2019 Transfer Window)
Posted by bshelly, Mon Jun-17-19 11:22 AM
Time to get this going. Bring me lo Celso and N'Dombele or bring me the death of our 19-20 season.
2699497, United Reddit meltdown about Pogba is hilarious

2699503, What meltdown?
Posted by B9, Mon Jun-17-19 12:25 PM
Every rational person knew this is how it would end with him. The man is an island built on a marketing machine. The dance is United saying they don't want or need to sell; now it's on Real to put the money on the table. I don't see any real meltdown about this. If you want to get into reddit muppetry, check the r/reddevils sub and read the muppet thread each day. They are now convinced that MDL has already signed.
2699500, Sturridge and Moreno released
Posted by smutsboy, Mon Jun-17-19 11:35 AM
Sturridge scored some big goals for the club and his season of magic with Suarez was incredible to watch.

He's still got talent left in the tank, but he doesn't really fit with Liverpool's active system.
2699504, He'd be great for a team like Newcastle
Posted by B9, Mon Jun-17-19 12:27 PM
However, he seems to still think he is a top 6 player.
2699529, Agreed, tho I'm unsure he'd suit newcastle's incoming emirati owner
Posted by dillinjah, Mon Jun-17-19 05:08 PM
Definitely makes the most sense

i got a good feeling about where we'll be in 2-3 weeks
2699541, Barca twitter in shambles
Posted by thejerseytornado, Tue Jun-18-19 08:10 AM
this is goingto be a long summer
-Griezmann in according to Atleti's owner (nice signing by them of Joao Felix, but damn at that price!)
-Griezmann not necessarily in according to barca media
-Neymar back? WTF?
-Rakitic on the selling list but he refuses to be sold

Cillesen/Neto swap

Good to see Coutinho raise his value @ copa. But then Valverde apparently trusts him and FML.

and masia heads are FURIOUS at Kubo going to Real Madrid. Apparently on a free too? But he demanded crazy wages and an assured spot in the main squad in a year and he's good but not necessarily that good. Plus, wtf--Madrid? Ansu getting tempted to leave is more worrying to me. But Riqui Puig is still barca's and a puig-arthur-de jong midfield (holy shit, where's Alena in that?) will be best in the world in 4 years if not earlier.


Just gotta remember the most important signing (De Jong) already happened...

2699542, Thank you, Tammy. Big Wes is next.
Posted by magilla vanilla, Tue Jun-18-19 08:58 AM
Shame that we won't be able to keep Tammy Abraham where he was loving his football, but I'm intrigued by his replacement, Wesley Moraes.

Jota stolen from Blues for the price of a Gary Gardner. Kortney Hause confirmed staying for a mere 3 mill. Anwar El Ghazi, one of the top performers of our playoff run, and involved in both goals at Wembley, staying. Tyrone Mings likely confirmed soon.

And no, Shells, you ain't getting Captain Jack.

seemed like they were getting back on track, wonder what the story is
2699793, #GlazersOut is trending today.

Can't say I disagree.
2700240, Rafa out?

2700308, AWB finally done; Barca about to go full Galàctics
Posted by B9, Wed Jun-26-19 12:13 PM
AWB gets $60M transfer after one season of pretty good football...this world...


Barca apparently juggling all sorts of legal/financial concerns to get Neymar back as the long-term Messi replacement. The financial ramifications of this move will be insane, especially in hindsight of recent revelations on how dire things are at La Masia, and may significantly challenge UEFA's FFP oversight ability. Coupled with Real's spending and Juve's looming turnover v payroll fiasco, this could launch the super league sooner than later.
2700315, Can't believe Neymar might be back
Posted by smutsboy, Wed Jun-26-19 12:58 PM
what a world
2700347, I’ve got the champagne on ice
Posted by benny, Wed Jun-26-19 08:28 PM
2700346, AWB is the right back spot settled for a decade if he stays healthy
Posted by BrooklynWHAT, Wed Jun-26-19 07:58 PM
I worry about that with how tackle heavy his style is. But he has it all in his locker and unlike Shaw zero concerns over his professionalism. Behind (imo) TAA we have at worst the 2nd best RB

Excellent signing. Go get more
2700362, Same thing said about Dalot
Posted by B9, Thu Jun-27-19 08:16 AM
2700364, AWB is EPL proven. not even close to the same.
Posted by BrooklynWHAT, Thu Jun-27-19 08:36 AM
2700368, nah, it's still azpi at the top. AWB on the rise tho.

Damn damn damn damn damn
2700381, I like de ligt. he's great. i'm not shook.
Posted by thejerseytornado, Thu Jun-27-19 12:49 PM
Pique/lenglet/umtiti w/ Todibo for potential is fine for me. de ligt = todibo or umtiti gone and the gap isn't so huge.
-----------
you think we playing chess, but i'm playing mad-making. Basaglia
2700426, The question is whether Umtiti will ever be 100% again

2700499, Man I love this generation of Chile players
Posted by calminvasion, Fri Jun-28-19 06:48 PM
And This team. They go so hard. Even Alexis looks a bit reborn in national jersey.


They're getting up there. No way this group will be around for 2022. That said I'm watching tonight and rooting for another unexpected Copa trophy.
2700505, lol, they're going to win another one
Posted by calminvasion, Fri Jun-28-19 08:37 PM
If they do they should just call it the Chile America
2700517, 2014 WC might be my favorite (modern) ever
Posted by smutsboy, Sat Jun-29-19 08:52 AM
watching Chile and Colombia that year was amazing.
2700544, Targett acquired
Posted by magilla vanilla, Sat Jun-29-19 09:05 PM
Still need to sign up Mings, but I really like this purchase. Upgrades the weakest link in the back line from the playoff run, gives El Ghazi a great platform to drive the attack from the left.
2701157, pogba’s agent says they out
Posted by bshelly, Fri Jul-05-19 07:37 PM
2701195, he can say but it’s not up to him
Posted by BrooklynWHAT, Sat Jul-06-19 02:18 AM
Real or Juve gonna have to pay up. I expect we will see Pogba in United for the next year at minimum
