The link up play between him and Hazard was exciting. Was not going to be confident going into the season with only Barkley and Reuben Loftus-Cheek

I like Idris myself personally, but why is there a need for a black bond? It's like making a reboot of Blade with the character being white.

"You know what I said after the World Cup," he says, "I'm happy here, I do not want to talk about that yet, a lot of things have been said, nonsense and everything. For the moment, I am happy, I have two more years of contract and we will see what will happen, leave this year, I will not leave, the transfer window in England is over. can not sign players, it would be a little odd that they (the Chelsea leaders, ed) let me go and they do not recruit a player behind.We could still see today that fans love me I'm fine here, we'll see what happens in a year or two. "

Haha take a gander at Cavani's new game face. Looks like Michael Jackson

On this day 15 years ago, Cristiano Ronaldo made his Manchester United Debut

Moses retires from International Duty. Strange one that. If he's still here by next summer I'd be surprised.

They have a meeting in October about it.

Mertens had no issue

Can see Pedro being our CF if Morata continues to be a pleb. Could work out too. The runs he makes and the fact he is probably our best finisher in the box. Pedro Hazard------------Willian

Looks like Kovacic does intend on leaving Real permenately. Especially after his Instagram post. Lots of rumors indicating we are initially loaning him to meet FFP regulations for the fiscal year. Come next year, we plan on triggering his release clause. Which is apparently 50 million.

Off the bench most likely.

Sarri just said Bakayoko may still go on loan.

The amount t of depth we currently have leads me to believe we are desperate to get back in the top 4. That or nobody wants our dead weight

With the window closed, this probably our best lineup going into the season. Batshuayi Hazard-----------------Pedro Kovacic-----Kante Jorginho Emerson----Rudiger---Christensen---Dave Kepa Good news is the window for other leagues is still open, so moves for Bakayoko, Moses, and Drinkwater still possible.

Worth the investment given Messi plays for free

Reports saying Barca are preparing a swap deal of Dembele+Rakitic for Pogba. Would you like that @Teso dos Bichos?

I miss the days when Real had Lassana Diarra and Fernando Gago as their midfield pair

Think Fekir will be used as a #9 the more I think about it. Especially if Batshuayi goes. Nonetheless, even if we don't get him its been a pretty good window for our standards. Kovacic/Barkley--------------Kante/Loftus-Cheek/Fabregas Jorginho/Fabregas/Ampadu

@Blue Take that bet mate

I thought Kante looked comfortable alongside Jorginho. In fact, they seemed to complement one another (the great through ball that sent Kante through on goal). I know it was only a 15-20 minute cameo, but both Jorginho and Kante's off the ball press was wonderful. I lost track of how many times we won the ball back. My biggest concern is whether or not Kovacic will be useful in the other CM spot, as his end product is questionable. Still has more to his game than Barkley and Reuben Loftus-Cheek mind you.

You do realise if it wasn't for a certain fax machine, he'd be a Real Madrid player?

Hopefully, it did for Sarri regarding Drinkwater, Bakayoko, Moses, and Alonso.

Hazard to be named captain
