bosstrabs alistair Kane has to win footballer of the year, more goals and assists that anyone else. Job done Unfortunately, players and managers of minor clubs are often overlooked for these awards, even if they are quite deserving e.g. Chris Wilder for Sheffield United last season.
Mad_Cyril This is a good article, about the impending Haaland saga and football transfer fees in general. https://www.theguardian.com/football/blog/2021/apr/02/erling-haaland-mino-raiola-transfer-borussia-dortmund-real-madrid-barcelona-manchester-city?CMP=Share_AndroidApp_Other Would love football to get a reality check. There’s muppets on Utd forums who think Haaland, Sancho, Rice and a new CB is realistic this summer.
Jules72 Mad_Cyril yup Barca and Real both in around 1bn EUR of debt… hard to imagine they’ll sign him… same for Juve… City pitching themselves as unable to afford him which prob means they will buy him at 100m. Can imagine big transfers only happening at the end of contracts now… also, wages should be linked to appearances and success - can well imagine a much bigger role for aggressive incentive structures going forward
SM001 Haaland is a beast. I played CB at a pretty decent level growing up and feared nobody. If I found out i’d be marking him before a game i’d fake my own death. uNiT
Mad_Cyril Agree. He’s HUNGRY too. A scary combo. Not sure about him mentally though, seems a little on the precipice !
bosstrabs Mad_Cyril Mentally, blatantly one of those crackpot Scandi blokes you meet around the world who are early 20s but about 14 years old in terms of maturity: “Letsh all do Jagermeishters! The girlsh in Beijing [or wherever] are crazshy man! I fucking love it here man!”
alistair bosstrabs Would like to see him break one of Keane’s legs as pay back for ruining his Dads career
Mad_Cyril Ole needs to get Matic on ASAP. Get us out of neutral and in reverse, really fuck with their heads
Mad_Cyril alistair Would like to see him break one of Keane’s legs as pay back for ruining his Dads career Likely at the VERY TOP of his ‘to do’ list
Old-Dutch Well that has been mental. Spurs let me down badly today. Very badly but somehow I’ve still walked away £1.5k up
Mad_Cyril Jules72 I honestly hope nobody stumps up for Haaland and Raiola’s stunt blows up in his face. Not because its Raiola, more because of the bloated excess it seems to symbolise
Amps Jules72 Assuming our current MO of getting in early and doing signings very quietly is still a thing, he should be lining up alongside Jotta come the end of August.
Old-Dutch Had to confess to wifey who was asking what the fuck I was streaming about when she was putting the kids to bed as United scored their second. Bitter sweet feeling cheering United on but desperate times call for desperate measures
Mad_Cyril Old-Dutch Bitter sweet feeling cheering United on but desperate times call for desperate measures LOL. Sold your soul, but worth every penny 😁
