Don't pull a Spurs, instead spend lots on absolute quality.

I can't even remember the last time United finished outside the top 4
Never finished lower than 3rd in the PL era.
wikipedia says 90/91. They finished 6th.
they've never finished lower than 3rd in the Premier League
I would assume (hope) our targets have improved greatly since January. Could be a really good summer for us.

we need more FPS games
This is his chance at having a long term job, he would be a fool to jettison it without a falling out with the owners. Liverpool would be foolish to not hang on to a young promising manager.
Best case at Barca is 2-3 seasons, with a high likelihood of less.
Best case at Liverpool 5+ years, with a likelihood of more.
Realistically, who would be in for him ?
I imagine he wants to stay at Liverpool for a long time but, in fairness, I just can't see many potential destinations (in the near future).
Football players and managers are grade-A liars. If Barca offers him a job, he'll take it.
If the Barca thing is indeed a realistic possibility, I could see him taking it. I mean it's fucking Barca. With that being said, the place I saw the rumor some days ago was The Mirror so I wouldn't put much stock in it.

One the one hand, I'd normally rather spend big on one player to slot straight into the first 11 and improve us immediately than on 3 players to sit on the bench
On the other, we'll need greater depth next season, and blowing the budget on 2 great players would not necessarily provide so much of that
Plus, it sounds stupid, but I'd like to see the front 5 given the chance to show what they can do in the CL (assuming we get there, could still go tits-up.) Think Sterling's development could stall if we bought Griezmann or someone (let me dream), even though it'd be for the best next season at least.
Konoplyanka/DM/LB
Then get Wisdom and Suso back, and I'm happy

Klopp has to pay a fine of 10k EUR for another of his rage moments.
He basically has to pay 10k for having a face that makes people shit themselves.
Crazy.

Didn't Fulham players adore Hodgson?? Lots of similarities really.
World of difference at that level.
The guy is limited, clearly always was, same as Hodge Podge... a disaster waiting to happen for anyone with the most basic football knowledge. Which is why either Fergie was in some major glass bubble with no objectivity at all or this was a deliberate ploy to secure his legacy. Fergie could have put Mourinho in charge and he goes and wins a couple of CL's in a few seasons and made him look a complete fool.
Kevin Friend is reffing our game at Anfield.
He gave them a phantom penalty at the SoL a few years ago (foul was 2 yards outside the box) and of course was the one who sent off Wes Brown for his perfect tackle at Stoke.
It's going to be hard enough without that inept twat reffing it...

If it's any consolation, he's generally been shite for us too recently.

I can see us keeping Johnson and letting him go on a free next year. Doubt anyone will be willing to make a significant offer in the summer
Wisdom has looked solid for Derby this year. Not sure he's first choice for a CL team, but he'd be great backup. Jack Robinson will be coming back from a good loan spell too. If he can improve his discipline, he could be a first team LB from what I've seen.
Can't see Brendan at Barca. Would like to, but just cannot see it for the life of me. 3/4 of a really good season ain't enough to make that step up to top tier European footy. Give him 2/3 years then let's talk.

That UK Xbone bundle. Dayum dayum dayum.
If I could trust MS to deliver me some sweet games i'd jump on that. 300 quid with FIFA...
But I can't, especially after Halo pooped the bed. Need H2A confirmation first.
Huh. Can see MS dropping it uniformly at E3 though. Becoming increasingly tempting

It's one shop and it MIGHT hit £299 depending on how many people bite. They may need to commit to a £350+ price point in the hopes it drops to £300.
I'm excited for Quantum Break. MS know they need to go all out now that they're in a losing position and they certainly have the cash to do so.

When do we find out how many games/consoles were sold in Titanfall's launch week?

His face when he realises it's an earthquake. The ducking under the table.
Amazing.

For a 31 year old donkey?

15mil for at the time nearly 31 year old player, who flopped at both Milan and Madrid. Eh.
They gonna keep Moyes for 10 seasons? What a brilliant plan.

Get fucked Spartak. Lol, you cunts thought you could go ahead of us in the table.
:lol, donkey. And flopping at Madrid is something Champions League winner Arjen Robben did.
Cornelius flopped at Cardiff for fuck's sake.
Huntelaar is ace.
I'd be happy with Morata and Huntelaar.

You know how Arsenal fans complain that Giroud is slow? Huntelaar makes him look like Usain Bolt.
I actually thought Huntelaar was a lot older than that since he has been at so many clubs. Forgot he's kinda like Zlatan and just moved a lot after short periods. He's got some good years left in him. I think he'd score quite a few in the PL.
15m is a lot for an old striker who's not much better than Giroud or Podolski. that would be a terrible transfer, especially if it prevents us from moving for an actual quality striker. he's a stopgap at best, and Giroud's already a shitty stopgap so it's pointless to move for another one.
our best chance at landing a top-ish striker is by landing someone who has "flopped" at a big club, but not Huntelaar. someone like Benzema or Dzeko.

Cornelius just turned 21 yesterday and eh, I wouldn't exactly expect Arsenal to go for such a player, not sure why you're bringing him into it. But that's a 10 years difference. He's not ace, he will have maybe 2 good years left in him... For 15mil. Yeah good luck getting Arsene to bite that bait.
