What a win. Would love to see this team in the World Cup, but a long way to go.

Thought we would struggle a lot when Zlatan retired, but we haven't been this good since the early 2000s during WC2002 and Euro 2004 with Henrik Larsson, Freddie Ljungberg, Olof Mellberg, Kim Källström, Zlatan of course and others.

 

[Guileless]

What a fuck up by Lloris. Incredible.

I am watching it over and over. Diabolical.

Skol!

 

[Firenze1]

The french keeper thought he was higuta, hilarious.

 

[Syder]

Did Spurs tell Lloris to play shit so that no one would want to buy him this Summer?

He's had quite a few brain farts in the last few months.

 

[Heebie Jeebies]

That Conte text looks so unnecessary it almost looks like a 'jokey' reply back to Costa.

Sky in Italy: Man United make new improved £35m bid for Inter Milan winger Ivan Perisic. Inter holding out for £44m. Perisic wants to leave

No deal is better than a bad deal.

 

[Beefy]

According to spanish radio Onda Cero, Manchester United and Real Madrid agreed 73m€ for Morata, who should travel on Monday to Manchester

 

[Syder]

£64m for Morata is a ridiculous fee.

 

[GHG]

£64m for Morata is a ridiculous fee.

Makes the numbers being touted for Mbappe look sane.

 

[Fdkn]

Mou keeps helping Madrid, first he took that scam named Pogba so Florentino had to let it go and now he takes Morata for a ridiculous fee so we can sign a better player instead

 

[Jarnet87]

United don't have a choice. they desperately need a striker. You pay the money and if he starts banging in goals no one will give a shit about the price.

 

[Tubie]

Florentino is a master negotiator.

Now make them pay 100m for James.

 

[Syder]

Now make them pay 100m for James.

More than €50m is a great deal for Real considering there's no guarantee he'll ever get back to his best.

...but watch a PL club play £70m.

 

[Empty]

£64m for Morata is a ridiculous fee.

never scored more than fifteen league goals in a season

 

[texhnolyze]

never scored more than fifteen league goals in a season

Did he ever have a chance as a first team striker in his club(s)?

 

[Syder]

Did he ever have a chance as a first team striker in his club(s)?

2 full seasons with Juventus.

 

[Tubie]

I would not be surprised if Wenger does a surprise crazy bid for James.

He loves Madrid reject midfielders.

Kids got room to improve but pls.

United don't have a choice. they desperately need a striker. You pay the money and if he starts banging in goals no one will give a shit about the price.

No matter how many goals he scores, we'll get battered about the money despite the fact that the club can literally burn 50s and stil be better off than most.

I really stopped caring about how much we pay tbh, it means nothing to the club.

With that said, he's had 4,111 mins of league football since signing for Juve and scored 30 goals. Harry Kane he is not. That's a goal every 137 mins. Though looking at just since he went back to Madrid, he's at 88 mins in the league and 55 mins in the UCL. But this is in a team that scored a goal every 32 mins in league football.

Though for contrast, CR7 scored a goal every 101 mins in the league and 100 mins in UCL, Messi scored one every 76 in the league and 73 in the UCL.

Based on his last season at least, he's not too shabby.

 

[D4Danger]

£64m for Morata is a ridiculous fee.

£64m for your fifth choice

the football equivalent of 'make roman look strong'

 

[WhateverItTakes]

More than €50m is a great deal for Real considering there's no guarantee he'll ever get back to his best.

...but watch a PL club play £70m.

I'm somehow expecting them to pay more. Marquee signing and all that.

 

[WAR recon zero]

Morata and James are bros. Morata said that he and James will be on the same team. He knows

 

[Beefy]

According to L'Equipe, Chelsea and Monaco have find an agreement for €40m for Bakayoko

Southampton now investigating whether to report Chelsea (and Arsenal) to the Prem League over tapping up Van Dijk. ����

Van Dijk is a cunt

 

[Unreal Champ]

Yep. I'm not a crazy fan that wants to defend a club if it fucks up (not saying you are one either).

Also Lander have bought us now, well 80% of the club. So more Chinese in the Prem.

I'm not defending Liverpool actions at all and as a Liverpool fan, I think their transfer dealing is a joke. A big club with a small club buying mentality.

Van Dijk is a cunt

What I don't get is if he wanted to leave this year, why even sign a 6 year deal? If I was a player and I know for a fact I wanted to leave a team in the summer, there is no way I'm signing a 6 year extension, that makes no sense whatsoever.

His new agent is probably a lot of the problem. Total twat only wanting money.

£40m + Iheanacho please Pep

Not if they all get investigated

Yup. Forgot he had a new agent. Probably told him to sign the extension to get the bonus. But probably forgot to mention to him that you can only get that bonus if you don't hand in a transfer request.

 

[McMoneyman]

Wonder if teams like Liverpool, City and Chelsea might maybe lay low and wait till January or next summer and then swoop up Van Dijk.

Very much doubt he will end up at Liverpool, specially with our new owners. Gao who now owns us gave evidence in a bribery case in China, the accused was sentenced to death. He doesn't like to be pushed about.

 

[Guileless]

Some good Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers today, anybody watching?

Impeccably observed minute of silence at Scotland-England.

The only way I could see him coming here now is that if Van Dijk tried to force himself away from the club and if we are (still) his favorite destination.

 

[weekev]

Scotland are doing well. I thought we would be 2 or 3 down by now but its been 50/50, England starting to up their game now but happy with the way we're doing. 'Mon Scotland!!

 

[Icolin]

Martin Tyler sucks.

 

[NHale]

Losing Ibra and replacing him with Morata is not what would make me believe Man United will contend for a top 4 place next year.

I'm sure Perisic and Lindelof will be the missing pieces. LOL.

Meanwhile it seems Chelsea are closing on Bakayoko from Monaco which will make Matic available. Watch Mourinho spend £55M on the guy more than Chelsea will pay for the better version....

Well-organized and all that, but Scotland need to open it up and try to win the game at some point.

 

[Icolin]

Sweet goal by Oxlade-Chamberlain.

 

[Guileless]

Some deft footwork for sure. Didn't know he had that in him.

 

[Heebie Jeebies]

Hart's starting position was terrible.

 

[acohrs]

This is becoming a great romcom, soon the question will be who wasn't trying to tap up VVD?

 

[Don Draper's Hat]

Hahahaha!

Fucking hell!

[Heebie Jeebies]

Great free kick

Gareth to leave Hampden through the South Gate
