I wouldn't say Arsenal got lucky at all, Slavia are a great side and have shown over recent years they have what it takes to get to latter stages of European competition (we faced them in the UEL quarters under Sarri!), and Arsenal haven't shown much quality in Europe this season.

Slavia have already scalped a great Leicester side and an unbeaten Rangers, Arsenal isn't the most daunting task for them.

They are working on shoe string budget and that means they are only one or two injuries from going into crisis which Arsenal has better tools to deal with because of how much money they have compared to their opponent.

I'm not going to say I'm that familiar with Granada at the moment but seems like one of the better draws they could have gotten.

I feel like United could go on to win the whole thing. In theory I think they could/should beat everyone else there and looking at the betting odds they do seem to be the favourites. But they are wildly inconsistent so them stumbling over themselves and crashing out is entirely possible. Also with the fixtures being so cramped this season fatigue is going to be an x factor for everyone. So who knows. Pogba being back is a big lift for the team though.

They are a small squad but we are dealing with hypotheticals here, the truth is, that Slavia are a better managed side with a better way of playing and should have enough to really push Arsenal injuries prevailing.

Granada are not doing well imho at the moment so their chances are very slim if any, Manchester United have nothing to fear unless wild change in form suddenly happen for Granada.

They are one injury away from disaster actually and have no one to replace the key players.

I assume Manchester City will be looking VERY closely at Haaland as a potential signing, I wonder how he will fare against you. He is the top CL scorer so far this season but at the same time his club is in dire form :pie_thinking:

[L'Equipe] PSG are ready to offer Mbappé a salary of € 30M/year to renew his contract. Real Madrid & Liverpool, who are both interested in him, cannot offer him such a high salary. Despite the salary being an important parameter, Mbappé requires above all guarantees on recruitment before deciding.

www.lequipe.fr

Salaires de la Ligue 1 : en cas de prolongation, Kylian Mbappé pourrait toucher près de 30 millions d'euros par an (Salaires L1)

Le champion du monde Kylian Mbappé perçoit un peu plus de 25 M€ brut cette saison et dépassera les 26,5 en 2021-2022. S'il prolonge au PSG, il devrait émarger autour des 30 M€ par an.

As far as I know Manchester City fans consider him very reliable, and it is expected they will try to get him.
How the other clubs will deal with it if it happens is the question.

He is their most reliable reporter, but has messed up major stories in past with Jorginho, Kovacic, Fernandes and someone else I can't remember who so I HAVE HOPE IN ROMAN'S BILLIONS!

Not sure if there’s any interest in PES or FIFA on here, but I’m going to post a pic of my full PES MyClub City squad tomorrow (or the day after). Just need one more agent to sign Rodri but I’m beholden to the market place timings. Nearly got everyone to their max level. Been playing MyClub since year one, but this is the first time I’ve ever attempted (and completed) what is my Holy Grail. I feel like I’ve summoned Exodia the Forbidden One, and the team plays absolutely sick.

The thing is whatever Roman will pay for him Manchester City can match it so the money will not be exactly the deciding factor if the options are either Manchester City or Chelsea. Remember though other clubs are also in the conversation to get him :pie_thinking:

Manchester City believe the strongest competition in the £100million race for Erling Haaland this summer will come from Real Madrid.

Pep Guardiola’s search for Sergio Aguero’s long-term successor will see City assess deals for Europe’s top strikers and Haaland’s record at Borussia Dortmund has put him at the top of their shortlist.

Chelsea are also looking at the 20-year-old’s situation this summer but Real are expected to make significant moves to bring him to Spain, challenging City as the frontrunners for the Norway striker.

Yes but I don't think we can pay as much as Manchester City or even Chelsea if Roman is throwing money but money will not be the be all end all in this matter I feel for Haaland himself, we'll see.

Would you be ok with it if he join us instead o Manchester City?
I'm assuming Prison Mike Prison Mike rather us than Chelsea?

I would much rather he goes to Real, as that then opens us to sign my alternative target.

He is talented and there is potential there but he is fickle and he has a terrible attitude and lacks professionalism. We did not get to see if his talent is good enough for us but the other attributes I mentioned are not good enough for sure so we will sell him.

[JOSÉ FÉLIX DÍAZ] Real Madrid is not considering selling Odegaard. Martin is determined to succeed in Madrid, but before returning he wants to know from coach what role he would play in the team. He left to Arsenal accepting salary cut, the key was a lot of gametime. Odegaard is happy at Arsenal.

[Maguire] As of the first quarter of 2021, MUFC are in £534.8m football net debt. During their time as owners, since 2005 the Glazers have borrowed around £500m and have paid out £837m in interest. It took until 2017 for the club’s net spend on players to exceed the interest cost under the Glazers.

I still don't understand the move to a Swiss style format for the competition. If it isn't broke, why fix it?

Also will just lead to more fixture congestion throughout the season for the top teams.
