Maldini

Joelinton went there as a centre forward didn't he. Would Ramsey going there give them the option of sticking the big man up front again?

Ah yeah, it's the Gary Neville pearl-clutching that annoys me though. The problem is Newcastle think they're at the same level as us, they and everyone else need to realise their place in the pecking order

Gyokeres did exactly the same thing and nobody said a thing https://www.theguardian.com/football/2025/jul/12/viktor-gyokeres-fails-report-sporting-training-arsenal

I'd forgotten the details of the Guehi armband thing. I thought he'd refused to wear the rainbow armband but it's a bit more opaque than that. https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/articles/clyj2e3dg14o

Getting Leoni in means we don't necessarily have to sign Guehi now. Gives us a bit of leverage over Palace. This Hughes lad seems to know what he's doing, it's kind of disconcerting.

£50m for a guy who'll be 31 a month into next season? What's the point of even negotiating that?

If he tells them their stadium is s***e there's no going back, they love that kip

The latter

Man, that'd be a hell of a signing for them

With the Darwin sale we now have the 6th highest net spend in the league this summer, just below Sunderland

Goodbye, Big Darwin Though I never knew you at all You had the grace to hold yourself While those around you bawled You banged it off the woodwork And appeared to have no brain Ran like you were on a treadmill Yet the crowd sang out your name And it seems to me you lived your life Like a vandal in the wind Never knowing who to pass to When the game set in And I would've liked to had sold you But that was just a bid Our patience burned out long before Your legend ever did

Ah s***e, my bad

There's people on the pitch...

Our new vice-captain according to Joycey

They're like a spotty 14-year-old at a school disco desperately trying to find someone to kiss for the slow-set. Pini Zahavi or some other super-agent wandering around in front of them asking "will you be with my friend" Haha or this

We replaced Luis Suarez with Mario Balotelli. I can't believe this is even a discussion.

He's always on The Overlap, gives me Tory vibes

Stick this on a mural

Yeah but don't they already have £350m in outstanding payments?

Nah, he'll have a good PL career I think. He'd get a game for half the league this season I think

How are clubs paying decent money for Nicolas Jackson? He looks absolutely awful to me

United definitely going to sell their womens team to themselves aren't they

Yeah, seems like it, and what's annoying is other clubs are bailing them out by signing their cast-offs. They've turned a profit on Djordevic and Madueke and broke even or lost a little on 3 or 4 others

The talk a few weeks ago was we wanted £50m with no buy-back clause or £40m with one

That's weird, it's usually way earlier isn't it?
