Of course Aguero does that after I take him out of my fantasy team.

 

Same

 

you should have a look at some of the replies to this. Hilarious

 

Watford sacked Marco Silva wtfffffff

 

Thank you Harry Kane

 

Spurs fans: Tottenham is already posturing with the Kane won’t be sold talk as rumors of Madrid breaking Neymar’s fee for him rise.

A) will they sell him?
B) do you think including a player or two in the deal would ease it?

Considering his current form/“desire to leave”, a swap for Ronaldo doesn’t seem wildly out there to me. Idk. Just spitballing based on some twitter conjecture.

 

I’d say the chances of him leaving this summer are about 0%. We are moving into the new stadium and selling our best player would be awful. Levy has said he wants to have our strongest team to open the stadium and that he has no plans to sell any of the core. I know that’s what he’s supposed to say but with how much they’re investing in the stadium I believe him. Plus, Kane has repeatedly said he wants to stay.

 

In characteristically bad half from the back line. And Sissoko sucks. Please sub Lamela on for him.

 

I figured as such. Madrid crisis buying just makes a lot more money suddenly on the table so I figured I’d ask.

 

Basically everyone was shit today

 

Madrid woke up against the worst defensive team in the league...after going down a goal. Wonder if this is the spark for them. It’s enjoyably weird watching them struggle.

 

Atmosphere yesterday was strange before the match, but the moment that first goal went in it was all smiles. Good to see the stadium actually happy and full of atmosphere.

Feels like we needed that. Maybe it won't be as bad as people suspect post-Sanchez. The guy was hated by Bellerin, Wilshere, Ramsey, Giroud, Chambers and more. I feel like the players might actually perform better without him.

 

Also back within 3 pts of Spurs is a good start.

 

Memphis with a cracker

 

Sham.

 

What? How does a league sign players?!

 

La Liga has a "sporting" agreement with Saudi Arabia. The 9 players have gone on 6 month loans to Spanish sides in the top two divisions. All sides taking a player also get monetary compensation. It's a joke.

- Villarreal CF (2)
- CD Leganés (2)
- Levante UD
- Real Sporting
- Real Valladolid
- Rayo Vallecano
- CD Numancia

 

To play devils advocate for a second, what's so bad about that? It's unusual, but could be a good way to develop players from countries that don't necessarily have the infrastructure in place to be able to develop their own players. These guys will now get experience in a competitive league, much better coaching, maybe a chance to break into European leagues if they impress during the 6 month period.

 

Saudi Arabia in general.

Also the fact a country backed FA is paying European clubs to take their players sets a bad precedent. What happens when they pay someone to take a player and demand they play?

 

I might be biased but this is pretty fucking class.

Mkhitaryan announced too.

 

I think you might be biased, because I think that might be purest cheese.

 

United can sign Alexis, we can sign a Mhki and PEA, and yet City are still streets ahead of everyone. The Premier League is depressing.

 

Also,I can't believe Arsenal haven't included one Mkhi pun in the announcement. "Arsenal sign a Mkhi" "Mkhi enters Arsenal fold" "Arsenal splash out on new Mkhi signing" "Arsenal lose a Coq but gain a Mkhi"

Such a wasted opportunity.

 

I agree, Arsenal could have at least tried!


Ah no I know it's cheesy as fuck but I love cheesy stuff, prefer that to the forced Internet meme / humour announcements.

I also found out today Sanchez can play piano!
