Jose Wood
Stop trying to fucking buy mbappe and go get oblak you crazy terrorist bastards
Justin Thomas
If United Sign Perisic are Spurs a chance of signing Martial, surely they have to offload someone

EFL discussion also welcome :-)
Nicholas Roberts
>ONLY offering 39m sterlings for Perisic >63m for alex sandro >22m for jonny fucking evans
this market is disgusting
Ryder Stewart
there is zero chance of United selling Martial.
Evan Ross
Does he even get playing time anymore after you bought lukaku just to prevent Chelsea from having him
Adam Smith
why though? he's shit
Justin King
literally scored on the weekend. He's like a slightly better Nani. Great at times but also frustratingly shit at times
Ryder Price
>Manure
Jeremiah Watson
D.Sanchez is a worse overpay than Walker
Jacob Peterson
still shit, lelcott tier
how much was walker?
Justin King
Burke from RB Leipzig to Palace for 18m€
Gabriel Evans
>how much was walker? around 45 pounds
Chase Rogers
Where did it go so deeply, fundamentally wrong with Villa?
Ethan Myers
what does that tweeter say, I cant read muslim
Camden Collins
fancy doubling your money at no risk? bet on Coutinho to stay at Liverpool
Daniel Jones
Because manure spent 75m pounds on him
Best price they'll get is like 30m + 8m add ons
They're just going to keep him until he gets crocked
Plus, if they did sell him Mouyes would just waste the money on buying another expensive pace nig that specializes in going running fast
Jack Turner
>75m it was £56m in total and thats relying on him winning the baloon door
Christian Lewis
they sacked o'neill and never hired a decent manager again
Jordan Rogers
We Sanchez now
Jonathan Green
The transfer window has really slowed down since the Neymar deal.
Alexander Gray
MBraaaaaap to Arsenal is almost done, la
Eli Barnes
Prices inflated some more since, no one is willing to let their players go for less than 80m anymore
Connor Foster
O'neill was the one who, sale by sale, removed some of the best Villa players in years just because he didn't like them as people (i.e they clashed with his massive ego).
>Angel >Cahill >S. Davis >Mellberg >Barry
Replacing them with such footballing luminaries as
>Marlon Harewood (because he scored a hattrick in the first game against >us) >Nicky Shorey >Zat Knight >Richard Dunne >Heskey
Henry Roberts
if it works it works
Chase Bennett
Yeah its fucking annoying. These clubs are treating 90-100m like its fucking nothing. They are willing to reject that amount for players literally begging to leave.
Leo Gutierrez
The tipping point was probably the Benteke and Delph sale though, back then I was like "they're shit even with them, what they'll do without them"? aaand then, they went down.
Swansea will likely do the same this year without Siggy's February and March goals pulling them out of the void. Southampton had like 30 shots against them last weekend and they're not even that good at attacking.
Gabriel Foster
>transfer-window still open although almost all leagues have started already why is this allowed?
Levi Diaz
go the manchester clubs can scramble
Joshua Smith
>he doesn't like panic buys by clubs that had shitty start >he doesn't like bench and stand warmers leaving their clubs last-minute
Jeremiah Davis
if the summer transfer window is overlapping with the start of the season, at least let clubs do half time transfers
Why isn't anyone else going for Sanchez? Liverpool bid 70 mil for keita FFS....
Charles Morgan
Teams are becoming more wary of expensive Dutch league memes
Juan Diaz
But he's not as good as Bale yet despite being 21, so he has to leave
Christian Butler
its not about bale, they won't even play him over lingard
Camden Parker
>83 million for the black arnoutovich
Aaron Kelly
bit deluded la
Grayson James
Which one
Elijah Roberts
Youd imagine tottenham would be the last to try after janssen
Jose King
There's a guy in this cafe wearing yoga pants, converse sneakers, a yellow Liverpool away shirt, scruffy beard and oversized sunglasses which tells me Crystal Palace will beat Liverpool.
Kayden Lopez
chelshit
Jace Bell
REAL ranking:
1. City 2. Spurs 3. Chelsea 4. United 5. Everton 6. West Ham
Joseph Morgan
Everton being below 1st
Nathaniel Evans
Imagine the fraudiola memes if City signed Messi
Hudson Thompson
Because after the EL final, anyone with a brain realized he was shit
Jeremiah Cruz
>tfw when everton sign costa they really could realistically win the league
Xavier Thomas
Man U City Spurs Arse Liverpool Chelsea
feel free to screencap this
Joseph Wright
what the fucks this shit i hear about paulinho? can players actually come back from asia? what a joke barcelona is becoming
Brayden Robinson
I really hope Arsenal don't sign anyone like Mbaps, Aurier, or Lemar. Would be great to see Arsenal tears as their complete arrogant confidence in signing rated players is BTFO before they end up losing Ozil, Ox, and Sanchez next season.

Christian Collins
Which one better for my FF team: Firmino+Pogba or Aguero+Can ?
Bentley Clark
>Diego Costa moving up north
Jayden Wright
That deal seems very fishy to me, m8s. There's no way he's been signed to improve the team. For that money you could get countless better midfielders. Why not splurge that on some promising youth? That's what Real do at least.
Literally the only answer is that some people (Probably Chinks) are getting a nice chunk of that money in their back pockets and FCB see it as worthwhile in the long run. Paulinho won't start 5 matches
Cameron Gutierrez
I can't give specific rankings, but it makes a lot of sense that Manure Shitty and Spuds will share top 3, with the rest battling for 4-6 with Everton as a dark horse. Manure could always choke and Spuds are at Wembley so I'm not 100% on this, just seems the most logical.
Wyatt Russell
>Tiger Travel coach sets off at 7.30am for QPR >going to play a 5'7", mildly unfit Fraizer Campbell up front on his own and get a point at best
Y'know that feeling of a wasted weekend? Normally get it on Sunday night, not Friday.
Noah Jenkins
They're both pretty much guaranteed to start every week, and Pogba will most likely be getting more assists this season. Ageuro will die more than once and Can won't start ahead of Keita
Caleb Ross
>They're both pretty much guaranteed to start every week Firmino and Pogba, that is
Mason Morris
Fair enough City are good but I don't see what puts United and Spurs above Arsenal and Liverpool?
Jace Bennett
>Barcelona need rejuvenation in the midfield, faster defenders, and a nerman replacement >they sign old man paulinho, a slow fuck and Dortmund makes fun of them
How do we fix this piece of shit?
Tyler Hughes
>Fair enough City are good but I don't see what puts United and Spurs above Arsenal and Liverpool? Man U have a better squad than both those teams. Spurs have a better starting 11 than both those teams.
Kayden Kelly
West Ham will relegate. Liverpool will finish midtable. Spuds are out of top 4.
Michael Rivera
Europe will hinder Arsenal and Liverpool's league performances. United are going from EL to CL, which is easier to deal with domestically. But I'm not sure if Spurs have the depth to do well in the league and to put in a better European performance than last season, plus how well they adapt to Wembley will be important
Easton Jackson
Why fix? Let this sub club die
Easton Foster
Take a step back and focus on la masia
Colton Bailey
Dope harder than Madrid
Owen Jenkins
Basically this
Pochettino doesn't care about CL anyway, at least that's what their horrible performances lead me to believe.
Robert Perez
>There are people who don't rate Jonny Evans now
He's like a top 5 cb in the league now.
Luke Adams
>He's like a top 5 cb in the league now. Maybe in the Pulis league.
Daniel Garcia
>arguing about who having the best squad after 1 (round) and the transfer market are yet to close
Jason Reed
He's nothing special but is decent. In terms of getting British players in your squad to fill a quota he's up there.
There are so few decent CB's in the league that are Evans ranks very highly. Kompany when fit is the best in the league. Alderwrrerrereeeld is up there, so is Vertonghen. Mustafi is decent. Then who? Maguire, Keane and Evans unironically imo. Matip would look better if he had a good partner. None of the top 6 have amazing defenses apart from Spurs unless they bus park like Man Poo and Chelshit.
Michael Powell
>"if United fail to win the title their season should be classed as a failure" >"if City fail to win the title their season should be classed as a failure"
really makes you think
Alexander Jackson
Yes. And the league is full of shit defenders
Noah Foster
if liverpool win it will be classed as a success
Carson Miller
of course, but its not going to happen
Asher Gutierrez
United don't have to park the bus in most PL games when they have Bailey, Jones and Rojo.
ABU please, United had one of the best defenses since van Gaal.
Levi Smith
Don't get me wrong m8, I didn't want him to be sold away from Manure (Bonglander on holiday). I say he's not special and I mean it in the sense that he's not a worldie and he's never really been sensational.
I definitely agree that, in the PL, a fit Kompany and Aldy are probably the best 2 CB in the league. I really don't rate Mustafi though. I also agree that there aren't really many, if any, better options than him other than what we've discussed although I do actually think a fit Phil Jones is quality. Matip, Bailly, Vertonghen, Reid, Fonte and maybe Keane are some of the better CBs but the sad reality is Terry is still better than pretty much all of these players.
England has a poor selection of CBs right now and, to some extent, I would argue there are few stand out CBs in the world at the curent time.
Josiah Roberts
Who the fuck is Davinson Sanchez
Asher Myers
It's spurs turn to fall for the Eredivisie meme
William Butler
It will be because they have a shit squad.
Evan Hall
Spurs have had a lot of turns of that la At least they got Eriksen, which is basically winning the lottery
