I'm guessing that's how United line up now?

 

I'm all for signing Suarez but I can't see it happening haha

 

Pogba/VdB, Bruno at #10 against teams where we will control the ball, maybe? Bigger teams it will be Pogba/Matic behind Bruno. I’m pretty sure VdB is replacing Pereira in the squad.

 

Honestly, any UCL/Europa team in the big five leagues should be throwing money at Barcelona to get Suarez. He makes every team better, even if as a presence off the bench.

But, I’ve got a sneaking suspicion he’s going to end up at City with Messi.

 

Also all the word around the club says we’re still looking to get a right winger in.

 

I assume this is where he will play as well.

probably messed up who plays where on the defensive line, but that front five would be absurd.

Even if my Suarez guess is wrong, slotting Gabriel Jesus up there or moving Messi there with Bernardo Silva on the right and everything remains absurd.

 

Meanwhile, Liverpool are hesitant to spend 30m on a top 5 midfielder in the world

 

Tasty going forward, but if the opposing team can actually get the ball for a moment they’ll cut right through them.

 

the fact that more teams aren’t hijacking this deal baffles me.

 

Bohemians are getting €1.6m from the Doherty transfer. Absolutely massive amount of money for an Irish team.

 

I still don’t understand why he was so cheap. Wolves fans seem flabbergasted.

 

Sergio Reguilon’s name is now popping up for both United and Spurs. Are we just going to lose every transfer battle? Feels like that’s the theme starting now.

 

All or Nothing is now streaming

 

Time to get Prime. As an Arsenal fan, this is going to be amazing viewing

 

I highly doubt we’re in for him. Doesn’t seem a need this summer.

 

Watched the first two episodes of the doc. The beginning was rough for me. Didn’t really enjoy watching the fall of Poch. I think it was the right thing to do but I still hate him not being with Spurs.

With that said, I’ve warmed up a bit to Jose. Even before watching these episodes he’s slightly won me over. I still have no clue how it will play out and I’m still kinda worried it’ll fall apart after a few years. But he seems to have good relationships with the players as well as Levy. He’s praised Levy a lot this preseason. I’m excited to see how we start this season.

 

Hoping Koulibaly is on the other side of Laporte. Ake is left footed so I believe Pep typically plays those in the left CB spot. He should be 2nd choice behind Laporte who is also left footed.

 

Shamrock Rovers drew AC Milan in the Europa. It sucks there's no fans allowed in for that one.

 

FA cup is going to be weird this way too. Those fun games where a big team has to go to some rattly old stadium and play lower league opposition will just be a lower division team getting mauled by a top side, in a shed. The smaller clubs won't get their pay day and it won't be a spectacle for anyone.

 

Allan's plane is right above Paris rn. Yes, it has come to this.

 

Same Allan that used to be at Udinese?

 

Yes, the very same guy.

 

Allan, Bernard, and James is a very exotic midfield. Shame it also sounds like the three old alcoholics down the local

 

the exodus is starting!
