I guess we need to wait for the end of summer. It would be bad to let him leave with his great 38 appearances.

 

Lucien Favre to Dortmund apparently

 

Slightly lucky escape there. Pudil took a rocket to the face, which probably saved us.

Absolutely bricking it for the second leg on Wednesday night. The atmosphere at Hillsborough will be something special. But we really need to up our game. Huddersfield will think of the first leg as a missed opportunity as they threw absolutely everything they had at us and barely had an opportunity.

 

Is the new ground also going to be called WHL?

No - they accidentally put up a public poll on social media to choose a stadium name, and the public voted for "Groundy McGroundface" . Apparently the poll result is legally binding, club hierarchy is devastated...

 

Well if James is coming in, I guess that's a no to Griezmann. We need a striker besides Rashford, and I don't see anyway Mourinho would want someone that small to lead the line for us. Lukaku or Belotti maybe? Going to be an interesting summer.

 

You wouldn't want Griezmann anyway, he's got terrible hair.

 

United have briefed the English press that we don't want him

 

Not that David Silva doesn't still have immense quality most of the time, but James would be an exceptional replacement for him in Pep's system at City.

 

Arsenal-Everton and Liverpool-Middlesbrough to decide the fourth place spot. City could lose to Watford and still get fourth over Arsenal depending on GD. Kinda hoping for chaos.

 

What about Mauro Icardi? Inter are not in a good spot and I'm sure they could use the cash.

 

Inter are in a great spot, no? Did that Chinese takeover not go through?

 

I think if they get in any of Conte/Poch/Simeone early this summer they could really bring in a name or two

 

Poch ain't leavin

 

According to the papers Walker, Rose, Toby, Dier, Dele, Eriksen, Kane, and Poch are all leaving.

 

Pick any four

 

I think Walker is the only one that is out. There's been a clear change in Levy's approach to paying players. Building this giant stadium is part of that plan. We are going to be able to keep guys around more often.

 

I haven't heard about that but they are in 8th in Serie A and got abused in Europa group stages.

 

I just know both Milan sides are set to have big summers, I believe AC have already signed Rodriquez from Wolfsburg.

 

I love that after Zabaleta's goodbye ceremony at City, they asked Pep what he thought and he said in broken English something like, "He is a legend. As you can see, all the women are crying."

 

Mazzarri has confirmed he's leaving, because Watford.
