would be a full circle moment lol

De Gea troubleshooting that fax as we speak

real CL win and hojlund 14 goals is bold but i respect that

rest seems ok though i genuinely dont have the balls to predict anything this year cause all the teams in the top 7 look interesting + aston villa might be a dark horse this year imo they made some really clever signings and you still got brighton too

interested to see spurs with ange ball and chelsea with poch, both might surprise this season with no european competitions in the schedule

everyone at the top gonna be intriguing though - wonder if newcastle will keep it up, united with a new keeper and a proper striker, city without gundo, arsenal with some great and clever signings imo and especially liverpool with a brand new midfield finally (hopefully if they can sign at least one more midfielder)

Good for him. He’s still a quality keeper despite what a large contingent of this fanbase would have you believe

Chelsea is and has been a snooze. no nkunku till December too. so im not excited to watch them at all.

I don't think 14 is unrealistic for rasmus we got no other strikers. and real win CL every other year. my predictions are quite boring.

I was bullish on arsenal until David raya.

right system and he can be great. courtois/de gea are close in style.

the thing is the top 6 seems to be potentially really strong this year - with chelsea and spurs sorting their mangers and no european competitions in schedule, united sort of completing their starting 11 and its flaws and liverpool rebuilding their midfield

but then you have newcastle and brighton who doesn’t seem to be slowing down anytime soon under howe and de zerbi + aston villa or even brentford could really surprise

Great to see

No longer everyone sat back watching city or the dippers fight for it

Now ten hag needs to step up and push for that title

Yeah and everybody knew our season was gonna be s*** because of having a Fred Eriksen Bruno midfield, but I’m out here seeing Lpool fans thinking they’re gonna crack top 4 with that midfield

yeah real win CL every other year but now this season they have no proper striker besides joselu and it seems like it will be a transtitonal season until they get mbappe in the summer

the attack is really weak and the season is literally over if vini or rodrygo pick up a long-term injury

im skeptical on hojlund as i said before but honestly with the distribution united have 14 goals doesn’t seem too far-fetched to be fair i’ll give you that - he could probably convert a fair bit of those chances

we shall see. I watched 90 mins of them against united. they looked sharp to me.

Why are we selling Fred for less than £9 million but rejecting £30 million for McTominay lol

Yeah he’s decent, but not good enough to win the prem imo. It was time he moved on, luckily he would fit good into Real cus they don’t really play out with the keeper anyway cus Courtois ain’t that good with his feet either.

home grown and 4 year age gap adding tax

With the amount of chances guys like Martial and Weghorst squandered last season if Hojlund is any good at finishing I don’t think 14 pl is too far fetched (if he stays fit tho).

I really don't think that makes up 20+ million.

Pool's midfield could look a lot better in a week or two but it's still getting rid of your two most experienced midfielders and getting in, in all likelihood, some 19-20 year old as the deepest lying player. I understand it, you can never turn those deals down for Fab and Henderson, but you'd expect growing pains at best.
Chelsea's a whole other level tho, Big Boehly treating the game like FM or Fifa where every transfer has to be 18-24 year olds

Fulham’s bid would’ve hundred percent been higher and more like our £20 mil ‘valuation’. But valuation doesn’t seem to mean anything. I do get that they just want to get rid of him asap to get in Amrabat already.

idk home grown is huge value add cause of registration rules. McTom has resale value in 3 years they can get back large part of any transfer fee them pay today for Scott.

Think it could work out long term (I mean halfway through the season), but getting in 2 (or 3) midfielders that have never played with each other and are all wildly different profiles from what they had is gonna be really hard to balance especially, since their midfielders are all attacking minded currently, feel like they’re gonna be overrun easily against opponents that play w a lot of intensity.

pool should go for Amrabat...hope they don't.

for sure. amrabat is needed. caicedo doesn't even fully make sense for em imo

Ngl I have absolutely no idea what level Amrabat is

same. all ive seen is the chase down mbappe tackle shown on repeat on twitter.

if we sign at least one more midfielder i believe it could work out honestly...its gonna probably take a while to sit together well but i have patience

the defense is worrying me more.. no CB signings is crazy they were s*** last season (midfield was mostly at fault but defense wasn’t anything special - if vvd or konate pick up an injury its over cause matip is slowly starting to be washed and needs to be replaced next season and gomez is just funny at this point)

out of the top 6 we really didn’t make any signings that should push us above them in the league table though i agree with you on that - im satisfied with both macallister and especially szoboszlai but compared to the competition its nothing special - arsenal, united and spurs all did better imo, city didn’t really need to do much + aston villa and newcastle did some start business too

chelsea is hard to judge cause they’re in a complete, brutal and total transition phase getting finally rid the deadwood of and replacing almost the entire squad so one can hardly predict what to expect from them
