Probably financial reasons and also, despite the clean sheets, he couldn't be 'trusted' to play the way Ten Hag does. The modernity of football means keepers have to be able to be good with their feet as well as stopping the goals. De Gea appeared to lack that. I rate De Gea but when he does make a blunder (which seemed to become frequent), it does affect the team. Maybe they thought now was the best time to cut ties and rake those wages back in. The thing I don't like about what Man Utd did is offering the contract to him, getting him to accept it, and then taking it away and pulling out of it. That's not professional and actually quite bad in my opinion. Onana seems a better prospect for Ten Hag's style. Agree with you that whoever gets De Gea on a free is getting the better part of the deal.

Skybet do it too.

Yep, I tagged the wrong bunch of names. Removed yours straight away!

Game 5 - 20th Game 6 - 59th

The sluggish start continues. No winners for Game 3 and Game 4. 48th minute opener in Game 3, and 29th minute for Game 4. No winners for either I'm afraid GAME 5 - DUSSELDORF vs HERTHA BERLIN - SATURDAY 29th JULY, 19.30 (BST) GAME 6 - NORWAY WOMEN vs PHILLIPINES WOMEN - SUNDAY 30th JULY, 08.00 (BST) ***any predictions made after kick-off will not count*** @DeadLinesman @Mel81x @Lucas @6666 @Dr. Gonzo @Michael @Redcanuck @Devil @Pugwash @Reluctant Striker @CaaC (John) @Aladdin @Devil-Dick Willie @JoshBRFC @Viva la FCB @Pyfish @Bluewolf @Tommy @Rucksackfranzose @OrangeKhrush @Faithcore @Waylander @Chickasaw

Could do quite well at WBA if he stays fit.

Toy money.

Have driven up to Manchester today. Was fine til I stopped at Stafford. Carried on my journey, left the services and it went so grey, gloomy and miserable So much for summer...

Game 3 - 61st Game 4 - 11th

A somewhat slow start to this season. Game 1's first and only goal was in the 29th-minute, but there were no winners. Game 2 had no goals, surprisingly, and also no winners. GAME 3 - CORINTHIANS vs SAO PAULO - WEDNESDAY 26th JULY, 01.30 (BST) GAME 4 - MAN UTD vs WREXHAM - WEDNESDAY 26th JULY, 03.30 (BST) ***any predictions made after kick-off will not count*** @DeadLinesman @Mel81x @Lucas @6666 @Dr. Gonzo @Michael @Redcanuck @Devil @Pugwash @Reluctant Striker @CaaC (John) @Aladdin @Devil-Dick Willie @JoshBRFC @Viva la FCB @Pyfish @Bluewolf @Tommy @Rucksackfranzose @OrangeKhrush @Faithcore @Waylander @Chickasaw

As if our pre-season prep couldn't have been more badly planned, our game with Spurs in Thailand is likely to be called off due to monsoon rains and waterlogged pitch. All the more reason not to have signed up to this shit. Or at least pulled out when we were relegated and realised we'd have been returning less than a week before the start of the season.

I'm in! Do we have to use a specific bookies' odds? I only use SkyBet or do we have to go hunting for best odds?

Didn't he sign for Southampton?

Apparently we're close to signing Stephy Mavididi for 6m Euros. A bargain in my opinion, makes it a low-risk signing if it wasn't to work out.

Neco Williams - £20m (13 PL games for Liverpool) Marko Grujic - £9m (8 PL games for Liverpool) Dominic Solanke - £20m (21 PL games for Liverpool, 1 goal) Danny Ward - £12m (never going to forgive you for this) Jordon Ibe - £15m (39 PL games for Liverpool) Your point is totally warranted about the extortionate fees that Man City seem to get for younger, untested, inexperienced players. But they're not the only club that seem to do it (the above is just an example from Transfermarkt, approx fees). It seems clubs pay over the odds for potential as opposed to looking for cheaper deals.

Pretty obvious to me given the weather over the weekend. Not enough time to get all the wickets required even if England declared now. Aus can just bat out and let the rain dictate things.

Not keen on that Everton one. I've seen the black/blue alternative kit they've got which looks much better. Wolves Home: Venezia away:

That's some innings from Crawley. Was smoking for majority of that once he got going.

Marvelous Nakamba makes his move to Luton a permanent one.

Middlesbrough away: Blackburn away: AC Milan Away: Schalke Home: Young Boys Home & Away:

Borges going to West Ham. £14m fee.
