Where do Real get the money from to buy Poch out of his PSG contract? I thought they were skint and had to save every penny for transfers.

 

I wanna be a fly on the wall while Levy is working the phones today

 

Hazard-Poch swap lmao

 

Not completely out of the realms of possibility!

 

My heart says hire Poch. My head says hire Ten Hag.

 

uh

 

nice

 

Spurs reached CL final and then over the next 2 years Levy fired Poch, hired Jose, and tried to start a SL all while getting worse and worse on the field. He has completely lost the fans. Levy has to deliver this summer. Both with the new manager and in the window.

 

I wish there was a journalist with big enough balls to directly ask Ole why he didn't do a van Gaal on De Gea last night. Henderson was right there, man.

 

Arsenal want 25m for Xhaka? Lol

 

This makes Poch back to a Spurs sound very unlikely.

 

Yeah, I’ve been getting the feeling we will hire Conte just because he is a free agent.

 

Tbf aside from his mistake against Burnley and stupid red card, he’s been by far one of our best and most consistent players.

I know people who don’t watch Arsenal think he’s a meme but he’s absolutely not, he’s vastly improved. He’s a slightly limited player, due to his lack of pace, but if you put him alongside the right person he can be very good for a team (he had a very promising partnership with Thomas Partey).

Whether he stays or goes, I just hope he finds himself somewhere he is more appreciated. I feel bad for players who clearly give their all but just get continual abuse.

 

If Poch does resign to join Spurs or Madrid, I’d imagine that club would help him with that fee. It’d be the same as paying the club directly to take their manager. With that said, neither of those clubs are in a spot to do that.

 

Ah I see we have put out the classic “brief big things after a big United loss”. This time it says we’re in for Sancho, Varane, Rice, and Kane l m a o


I doubt we will even sign one of them.

 

But for Poch, PSG only gave him an 18-month contract and they always have CL or bust as the goal. I’d argue that Madrid and Spurs are Poch’s top two clubs of choice on an open market. Both being available plus being at a club that hasn’t given you long-term commitment and has high standards could suede him to leave suddenly.

 

Ronaldo to United is taking off with the Allegri news.

 

fixed it

 

I'll have to take your word on this. It's literally online Arsenal fans (if you want to call them that) who make me laugh about Xhaka.

 

Why isn’t United going after Zidane?

 

We’re giving Ole a new contract

 

I know but why lol

 

Part of me wonders if Zidane is just going to stop managing

 

Wouldn't surprise me. To his credit, he's not after the money. He's lost out on €40m+ through not staying to the end of contracts.
