torn

Djimi Traoré wins the Champs league.

Not to defend either of them but the rot started before that. How were macallister gravenberch and szobo going to play together in a 3? Or a 2 for that matter.

The most generous interpretation I can think of is they needed to get close on Barcola to work out how much was left in the kitty, and the ownership situation threw some spanners in the works. But even if that *very generous* interpretation is true, a competent organisation would have figured out more ways to mitigate those.

Marques might have a bigger role too. I believe he is highly regarded.

For me, what’s changed with Edward’s and the football model are two big things. We used to have a huge advantage with data, and making data driven decisions. Now most clubs have access to the same data. Secondly our sweet spot was rough diamonds, with 2 very note able exceptions (Virg and Ali). But because that lead to huge success were shopping at the top of the market for the best players in each position. And we’re not just competing with traditional rivals, we also have to deal with PSG. I think this is one of the reasons we’ve changed our youth salary position to get the rough diamonds younger.

The gentleman in question appears to have followed' Indy's advice.. https://twitter.com/saifpr

Given the volume of pr he’s getting at the moment, the club think that he is that player.

So not saying this is true, but it's possible.... Clubs are inflating their price when we talk to them about a player because we Won of the champions leagueSpent £140mm+ in the last transfer windowHave a strategy of buying below market value, which has consistently lead to buying players who perform better than their purchase priceThe two ways of dealing with this are Pay more than the perceived value of a player Pretend to be disinterested and wait until the price comes down, hoping that player agitates for a move and or the selling club gets desperateThe first of these is not going to happen. The second option is what has happened with Van Dijk and Allison. The only way to know if this is true is if you're Michael Edwards. But if we see more action towards the end of the window, it may suggest that this is true.

Epic swindle was a bit of a legend too... raging troll. Like chunk.

Know some people who worked on the walkers crisps account at an advertising agency. Allegedly, part of linekers contract was that he got to pick the account executives (ie the hot young client service women) to work with him.

Also guess it's him reflecting on what went wrong post 'the invincibles'.

Does this mean achterberg is ok?

UNf***INGBELIEVEABLE

If he leaves Sterling on, i'll f***en ... :dynamite:

He needs a rest. Shouldn't have played.

The first thing I noticed about that photo was his teeth. Such white.

Did you watch him in the world cup?

Scored more goals tho.

Origi would be really helpful this season. Shame.

He reminds me a bit of pires, but a bit quicker. Hopefully he can learn to be that effective.

Whenever we play 4231 we play poorly.

Jordan WIlliams looked pretty good.
