It’s wild that someone has a job offer and is refused the work permit.

 

And just remember that work permits weren’t required for EU countries until Brexit…

 

I’m considering using my wildcard this coming week in fantasy. Rodrigo and Trippier both hurt and my backups not exactly up to snuff.

 

Missed that there were Tuesday fixtures. Arse.

 

This is a wild way to act i an interview, but I wish players did this more often. Be honest, don’t give us the PR line.

 

Damn, this guy is good, was looking forward to him as a backup winger. If we’ve cooled on him, I hope we have an actual midfield option on our radar and in the works.

 

Van der Sar as director of football and the transfer team (including Klas-Jan Huntelaar) definitely want him and have travelled to Sevilla to apologise to Ocampos; it is the Ajax board of directors that have stuck their oar in and said the deal was "too expensive" that has soured things.

However, now Sevilla have knocked Ocampos price DOWN to 15m (???), so if Ocampos still wishes to join the deal can be done. Just needs the board to stop being ridiculous and okay it.

 

Auba to Chelsea may be off because the robbers broke his jaw! Awful story getting worse.

 

Love it. Very refreshing.

 

Ten Hag literally binning all of Ole’s defence.

 

I still can’t believe Conte wants Daniel James

 

Wtf hahah

 

Absolute dynamite defensive pairing. No goals allowed and no assists!

 

Southampton becoming damn near the City B team at this point. Though they did hire one of guys credited with running our Academy to run their first team recruitment but still wild seeing 4 players head their way.

 

The board has instructed Van der Sar to offer loan deals for Ziyech/Ocampos - they have sold two players for a combined 140m this summer, total sales this window are around 170m and still they tighten the purse strings. Feel so bad for the new manager who has had his squad picked clean of its top talent, and still they could lose more players.

 

Hey, that’s our job.

They can be the Under 18s.

 

Is Chukwueze any good? I don't watch Villarreal enough to know for myself. Everton have been heavily linked to him today.

 

why are we wasting our time here lol it's been such a good window.....are there not any other options?

 

He has a chance to be very good. Very similar player to Isak, but not quite as good a finisher.

 

...I didn't realize this.

 

Even more, it’s 10 people that are almost all 6’5 or bigger SPRINTING through that area. Just a bunch of Haalands +100-150lbs running around

 

holy shit that's way smaller than I thought.
