Manchester United close on £60m-plus deal to buy Brentford’s Bryan Mbeumo

~62m each. 150k a week for both according to this. Thats not bad business at all

Waiting for a Newcastle journo to tell us actually they’re both getting 300k a week

 

2 red cards and ball hitting the sky cam

Peak concacaf

 

Need Spurs to do something. Mbeumo would’ve been nice but not the end of the world that he’s going to United. Plenty of quality options out there.

Levy released that interview a week or so ago talking about winning Europa not being enough and that he wants to win PL and CL. You can’t say that and then not be willing to spend what it takes to land a top player. Every player we’ve been linked to has the caveat of “but Spurs aren’t willing to meet the valuation”.

 

Partey is gone. Which is good. And it looks like Norgaard might only be £10m, which is good business for a decent squad player. Apparently last year he made the most PL interceptions, second most recoveries, and won the third most tackles.

Now can we PLEASE buy an attacking player?

 

Supposedly Brentford want 15m. Great bit of business even at that. Would have loved for us to have a look at him

 

Seems crazy cheap for a starter in a solid Premier League team. Is his contract running out?

 

Only in youth football could Omari Hutchinson keep Nwaneri out of the starting XI. And I say that just as Everton have been linked to him haha.

 

Good signing

 

1 year left

 

RIP DCL.

 

To his credit, Hutchinson has seen lots of the ball and is quite forward thinking with his play. Praise where it's due and all that.

 

Despite Hutchinson being a fucking rat who left to join Chelsea, he’s a good player tbf. And he’s like 4 years older than Nwaneri so I guess that’s also a factor, even if Ethan is a better player imo.

Happy not to see him getting overplayed at such a young age too!

 

Villarreal signed Barry for 14m euros in August 2024. If we signed him for even £28m plus add-ons, it's easy to see how clubs can make killer profits if they're savvy enough.

 

he’s really good

 

yeah someone is getting a diamond

 

Brighton to replace Adingra who is off to Marseille. Allegedly.

 

that would be awesome, would love to have a reason to watch more Brighton games

 

Delighted for Carsley.

 

the kits, Mitoma, the random spells of grandeur, THE MASCOT, what else @bigmike ?

 

don't forget james milner!

 

Getting to virtually shitpost with THE no. 1 Brighton fan in southeast Michigan.

 

Bummed for adingra, but writing on the wall when he couldn’t get many minutes with the injuries we had up front. Also, yes, Harvey Elliot in Brighton would be fuckin sickkkkk.

 

Something about a team with a mascot that is known for hanging at the beach, eating trash, and shitting on everything really drew me in.

 

Those are the easiest things for me to relate to as an American

 

Seagulls in Brighton are something else tbf. They're bad everywhere but somehow they seem even worse there. They hunt you in packs. My friend got into a physical fight with one.

Still think it's one of my favourite UK towns/cities, alongside Cambridge, Edinburgh, London, and York.
