  1. Don't think he ever will. Reckon the next Barca manager will be a stop gap until Xavi comes in.
  2. Mourinho's 2010 Inter or Allegri's 2017 Juventus?

      Allegri's Juve. This could be a great team for a long time. That Inter team was so old you knew it wouldn't last.

      Allegri's Juve by far!  I prefer Inter as a club without a shadow of a doubt, but Juve has much more competition now than Inter did at that moment.  But Juve have to win it first and until then Inter have the upper hand.

      I'm not sure how people can think Juve by far. Inter did the treble (Juve have yet to do so), and Inter on the road to the CL went through Barcelona in the Group Stage, Chelsea, Barcelona and Bayern Munich. Those were elite teams.

      Juve in the CL have gone through - Sevilla & Lyon, Porto, Barcelona, and currently Monaco.

      Inter had a much more difficult path, and won it. Juve haven't won shit yet.

  3. That's the entire season in doubt then? Yup, big blow as Real Madrid's main style of play is crossing it from the wings.
  4. Go to thank Oscar and Ramires for our net spend being so low
  5. Mourinho has literally no interest in that. If the player isn't ready, he doesn't want them. Not keen on whether or not the club makes a profit. The whole loaning players out just to make a profit comes from our technical director Emenalo. "Youth Day" for Mourinho is an 18 year old making a 5 minute cameo in an already qualified CL game.
  6. Hmmm, I thought the Manager has all say on transfers at United? Because there is no way in fuck that Mourinho will be after a 16 year old.
  7. Read somewhere along the lines that he had a trial with us at one point but judging by social media activity and pictures he remained a fan.
  8. Don't think the man has ever spent over 40million on a single player so he has a point, Mbappe will come with a price. Mbappe is a Chelsea fan, (no where near as massive a fan as Falcao was with Man City) so hoping we use it as leverage if Conte does indeed want him next year.
  9. @DeadLinesman Update on Alien Covenant. New prologue trailer came out and revealed a lot. Changed my viewpoint a little bit but still wished they focused more on the engineers than the xenomorphs.
  10. If they can make Tevez and Pelle one of the highest earners in the world, there is definite opportunity for business.
  11. We sell Costa for the rumored amount we have 180 mill in profit from both him and Oscar
  12. Need to remember this is the same group that sought out the title in 2015. They know what it takes which is more important than anything at the moment. On regards to Hazard, ever since Fabregas has told him to be more selfish, he has now scored 5 in 5. I honestly believe next season will define him, as I hope he carries that selfishness into Europe. We already know he is a tremendous passer of the ball and technically brilliant, he just needs to be more ruthless and selfish in front of goal. That is the only thing holding him back. I agree entirely, this summer transfer window will be the most important in recent memory, and it's a sign of relief knowing that we are already looking at players to buy considering all the rumors going about. Our board has the tendency to think that by winning the title, papers over the cracks of the squad. 2010 and 2015 in general. After we won the double in 2010, we sold Deco, Joe Cole, and Ballack, three absolute sound midfielders and replaced them only with Ramires, a player who's technical ability isn't even half of theirs. Not to mention we failed miserably to find a decent replacement in Carvalho. It's no fucking surprise we failed to reach expectations in the 2010/11 season. 2015 showed a similar thing. We were utterly brilliant the first half the season, then looked onto relying on Hazard the 2nd half where 90% of our players didn't perform. Did our board take action in upgrading players? Did they strengthen? No. Again, the title win papered over the cracks of a squad out of ideas, and I predicted in July that we would struggle the 2016 season. We lost Cech, Drogba, Filipe Luis, whilst the same players who showed terrible form, continued on without providing any decent competition for them. If we win the title this year and potentially the double, I pray this won't paper over any cracks and you can truly see that Conte has realised the weakness in his squad and the fact we were favored immensely by not being in Europe as well as a lack of injuries to players where we do not have any depth in. I stand by what I said that we need at least 6 signings for next season if we want to compete on all fronts.
  13. 4 years in a row we win the FA Youth Cup. Hope Conte does a better job transitioning youth than a certain someone who for him, academy day results in Solanke getting a 5 minute cameo in the 90th minute of an already qualified CL game.
  14. That would mean he would have to leave his two lovers, Kane and Dier
  15. Doubt he will want to leave his butt buddy Dier.
  16. Saw a picture doing the rounds on social media during a Trump Protest a couple weeks ago. Sign out in the distance was a Wenger out sign
  17. He's looked fucking awful every time I've seen him this season
  18. Who's better at dead ball crosses, Eriksen or DeBruyne?

  19. No way we'll pay that. Rather spend the money on both Morata and Sanchez Rumor going around China are going to increase the 80mill to 150mill
  20. Soft twat. Too rough for him? When all he does if he's not scoring goals is pick up fights and rely on dirty antics? Sorry, but he needs to pack his bags and fuck off to China. Had enough of him. You can almost bet he will start tomorrow and I fully expect him to spend the majority of the time on his arse and throwing his arms up. Lukaku is looking better and better each day. At least Lukaku would actually want to be here considering he's a fan.
  21. Costa isn't a second half of the season player, even when at Atletico. There's no way of telling if the China rumors are correlated with his dip in form when he's always been a streaky player towards the later part of the season. Ideal? Andrea Belotti easily. Been watching him for a while and he has all the attributes to strive under Conte. Strong, hardworking, great movement off the ball, technically well rounded and good with both feet.
  22. Hope he just fucks off tbh. Love what he's done these past years, but his head has never been set here. Streaky player but unplayable on his day.
  23. Tbf, he came back from a hamstring injury and was rushed back to play that game And I beg to differ. Making a world champion CB and GK look like pub players defies all
