Yeah, seemed that way but Madrid are trying to offload players now because they are suffering wage issues (think Barcelona but milder) and they want to buy Mbappe/Haaland but have no money.

I don’t think they’ll sell him but apparently it’s him, Varane and Isco on the chopping block.

 

Ah yeah that makes sense.

We’ve been linked to Varane and I have absolutely no idea what to make of it. Can’t tell if he’s trying to get a better contract, if he wants to leave, or if Real are nudging him out.

 

Varane and Trippier will both be United players by the end of the month, that's another of "PB's classic predictions"! The Sun, SportBible and TalkSport told me the deals were close, so it must be true right?

Brandon Williams out on loan to Southampton to replace Ryan Bertrand so Trippier replaces him in the squad, and apparently Real Madrid are happy with Militao-Alaba as CB partnership so Varane can leave as he is a high earner and they need him off the wage bill. This is all from real research I've done (reading tweets) so you can trust it

 

Apparently Ben White to Arsenal is now a done deal… Fingers crossed.

 

If Real are happy with Militao-Alaba then maybe that means Kounde will be coming to Spurs. Apparently he has Spurs on standby while he waits for Real to decide what to do lol

It feels like they’re trying to make one big signing at CB (Kounde or Skriniar) and then another smaller CB signing (Andersen or Milenkovic). We’ve also been linked with Lacroix. Any combination of those players is an upgrade from last year’s CBs.

 

There it is.

 

lmao ok

 

Castles is hilarious tbf

 

It takes me back to the summer of 98 when I was young and on holiday in Wales!

 

You know, he’s probably telling the truth in what he said. Of course we’ve “explored the possibility” if he’s available. But that means nothing lol

 

Venezia FC making a play for being a US favorite. Signed two of our most promising youth products in midfield in the same week.

 

Raul Jimenez back to playing again in a pre-season friendly today. Looking back, it was so scary what happened to him.

 

Dane Scarlett scoring in the opening preseason game. Love it.

 

Gbamin’s only gone and scored, following on from that assist in the last friendly. I hope he's put his injuries behind him for good, he could be just what we need in midfield.

 

Is United about to get Varane for less than Arsenal are paying for White?

 

It’s that English tax. Not to mention we will be able to sell White whereas Varane is almost 29 so not much resell value.

We know White has been over priced but if you believe he’s your guy you gotta go for it.

 

Love him.

 

There's rumours doing the rounds that Gylfi Sigurdsson has done something bad enough to have his contract with the club terminated. His wife has deleted her Instagram. Christ.

 

I am being super late to this again and it's technically not a charity. But with the current floods in Germany (the worst since WW2 with 100+ dead and 1000+ still missing) I thought it'd be fitting to contribute to the relief fund for the victims of the floods.

 

why are the fire so shit

 

I wanna go to a Nashville SC match, but I’m kinda over that city after my last visit.

 

What happened?
