Don't forget the Fantasy deadline is early tomorrow morning due to the Villa v Everton early kick off.

 

Barca stories just keep getting wilder

 

Ndombele seems to be close to joining Napoli on loan.

That just leaves Winks and Reguilon (linked to Brighton) as far as guys Conte asked to leave.

Gil has also been linked to a loan move to Valencia. Hopefully without an option to buy because I still have high hopes for him.

 

United linked with Morata, and maybe on loan, which isn't the worst idea in terms of players they've been linked to.

 

A Watford defender just jumped up, punched the ball in the his own box, and then fell down holding his face. Naturally a goal kick was given.

 

Kessie, Christensen, Raphinha, and Lewy registered. Kounde, not quite fit, is the one having to wait. I'm assuming Dembele and Roberto will also be today. (Edit: all now registered but Kounde.)

 

Apparently Depay has been offered to United. Not sure if by Barca or his agents

 

I'd also take Depay like. Could be a canny get.

 

Ref should blow the whistle and finish the match. Dortmund doesn’t look interested in scoring.

 

Knew all it would take is a large dose of skepticism and resignation on my part for the likeliest of scenarios to occur.

 

everything I've seen has Depay deep in talks with Juventus

 

Also Brandt been more useful on the pitch in the last few minutes than Dahoud had been the whole game.

 

I know I'm really the only one who cares, but after everything and levers and what have you, Barcelona's finances have stabilized to the point where they are no longer bound by the 1:4 rule (where they can only spend 25% on new signings). It is back to a standard 1:1 rule.

So, realistically, only one player has to leave to free up space for Kounde. A second for Alonso if we sign him next week.

 

Pleased with 3 points but very bitter it took the team so long to look like they knew how to play. Hard for me to even enjoy those last 10 minutes or so with how poorly they played. Bynoe-Gittens looks very promising.

 

So probably Auba and who else do you think?

 

One of Auba/Depay will leave (Auba seems more wanted to stay by Xavi), while Umtiti and Braithwaite are still trying to be ushered out.

 

Didn't Umtiti already fail a medical?

Man's career is sadly basically over at the top level.

 

I don't think they let him even come take it.

I wonder if he thinks winning the world cup was worth it.

 

Abou Diaby and Umtiti's careers are both pretty sad. At least Umtiti won the WC I guess.

 

Unai Emery on Yeremi Pino: “Yes… maybe an offer will arrive tomorrow, we have to accept it and he has to leave.” Either us or Liverpool apparently.

 

Osasuna were worth their win tonight based on their overall play but my word their penalty was a questionable decision at best.

 

Oh yeah he’s 100% off there. But just rumours we were offered him. We probably passed, or he did.

 

I didn’t watch the game, but looks like a hell of a flurry at the end for you. Moukoko excites me a lot.

 

Interesting, I wonder why

 

Bring him home. And by home I mean anywhere but Arsenal.
