    To no one’s surprise, Jorginho’s agent has confirmed he’s staying. Again. Like that wasn’t obvious given he himself said so literally just a month ago.

    Thank fucking good we got our deals done early. Prices are going to fly up. Hope this is good news for our sales as the money trickles down from these big transfers.

    I think we still have one or two incomings left in is to plug holes in the squad but it’s gonna be predominantly outgoings so let’s see.

    Anyone think that Real Madrid would have gazumped us for Raya if Courtois’s injury happened earlier?

    No? Just me? Okay.

    I know it’s probably pretty impossible now but swooping in for Lavia while Chelsea and Liverpool are fighting for Caicedo would be hilarious. Would be a great fit for the team too as he’ll get to learn from some incredible midfielders without the pressure of delivering immediately

      Lavia is now in overpriced territory. He’ll go for close to £60m.

      I’ve said this in a few threads, I really like Fofana at Monaco and he is actually available for sale this summer.

        Everyone is overpriced now. You can’t tell me that Caicedo is worth more than Rice.

    Season starts tomorrow and Man U are still dragging their heels about Greenwood. Can’t wait to see him back because Man United have no spine. It’s fucking clear cut, he should be in prison not on the pitch. We’ve all seen the evidence.

    Watching the Spain v Netherlands match, it’s absolutely the most typical Spain game, high possession then a fuckery goal…then the Dutch scores and play on. Now it seems like they light a match and the Dutch have come alive.

    Beerensteyn is an absolute menace, I always hate it when we play against her in Champions League

    Chelsea are utter bellends if they actually just drop the Adams deal this late into things. Hugely disrespectful both to Adams and to Leeds.

      Adams did not deserve that, he is an excellent player. He had his medical done and everything.

      On the bright side, maybe Adams can get a transfer to a club that isn’t shit now.

        Nah see; they’re usually bellends, but this would make them utter bellends. We usually reserve that one for Millwall and Spurs.

      It’s finally looking decent. I must admit I never expected them to spend that much on Caicedo, and half expected them to lose out on Lavia — which they still might. I think my earlier assessment might be wrong; they will be probably right up there fighting for the CL spots, if not more.

      Think they need at least one more top player in there, but Caicedo is a really good fit for them. Think they will be challenging this season for sure
