Dallas did that last week too for their match vs. Nashville, it's absolutely stupid

 

Gabriel apparently has agreed his deal to us, the same day Di Marzio says United have put in a bid for him.

Either the French sources are wrong, or Di Marzio is still utter trash for any non-Italian stories.

 

Hopefully this is true.

 

I think Gabriel is a good signing. Kinda mad we backed off of him

 

Yeah seems like he was being looked at and considered by Arsenal, United, Spurs, Everton and probably more.

 

We've picked up Jeff Hendrick on a free. Hurray.

Our December fixtures include closing out the year playing Man City and Liverpool back to back, then first January game is Leicester, so that's the new year spent avoiding football.

End of April/start of May, we get a run of Liverpool, Arsenal, Leicester and City. That's going to sting.

 

Seen the latest rumours, that Lacazette is going to Juventus. Would be a great move for him and for Juve.

Apparently that move will hep fund a new bid for Aouar. We won't get him, but it's a nice idea.

 

Harry Maguire been involved in a fight on holiday and been arrested (or at least taken to the Police Station).

 

#Lad

Apparently he was fighting with the police themselves lol

 

Sounds like he got into a fight with some other group of English tourists (probably fans of another team and somehow an altercation started), then Police rocked up and he's had a swing at them too.

Depending on how much of that is true and who started it, there's a chance he could lose the captaincy over this.

 

Update on this. I’m in March and we’ve now won 18 penalties across all competitions

 

FM is so realistic at times. That said, I once saw Liverpool get relegated in FM 14 in the very first season.

 

Ainsley Maitland-Niles agent is on a mad one. Rumours of Spurs, Wolves, Leicester, Newcastle, Brighton and Leeds all wanting him.

 

for penalties yeah my season has been realistic. but fuck United are so overpowered in the game it's ridiculous.

 

I really don’t understand this

 

Tbf the only teams he wouldn't improve would be Spurs & Wolves imo.

AMN is a good young player. Hard working, technical, VERY experienced in the PL for his age, and is absolutely rapid (was 4th fastest player clocked in PL this season). Not to mention he can play LB, RB, LWB, RWB, LM, CM, RM, LW, RW. And he's English and homegrown.

Any team who finished 5th or below this year would benefit from having him in their squad at the very least, if they can afford him. I think he wants first team football so I could see Brighton being a good destination for him.

 

Yeah it just wouldn’t make sense to sell KWP and then buy him. They seem kinda the same as far as RB goes. I guess KWP isn’t as versatile.

 

PSG starting their Ligue 1 season before their Champions League final is really weird.

 

It seems like those Ivanovic rumours were pish. Also, we're in for Santiago Arias from Atleti. FINALLY some genuine competition for Coleman.

 

Gus Hiddink being named the manager of Curaçao is random and interesting. Feel like they could have a decent squad if they get some guys to flip to them.

 

United’s only good centre back gonna start the season in jail lol

 

Willian: Arteta said he needs me to win Champions League with Arsenal | Goal.com

Headline is kind of misleading, and whilst this is fully mental, I do like the ambition.

"Don’t be scared to be ambitious. It’s not a humiliation to have a high target and to fail. For me, the real humiliation is to have a target and not to give everything to reach it." - Arsène Wenger

 

Idiot. Absolute idiot.

Edit - this was about Maguire

 

Was quite busy earlier in work. Is there a video of Maguire?
