OFFICIAL FOOTY THREAD ⚽️: Rodri wins 2024 Ballon d’Or

No clue why they're still looking for another winger and theyre better off focusing on a Osimhen/Toney deal but I'll take them solving a problem for United for a change

Been more of the opposite historically between the clubs.

As much as things have improved it’s still the same **** with arsenal
So close to getting over the line but nope
Gonna end up making a profit this summer.. for what

 

[mastamind89]

Of course Merino is injured
Not getting another striker/wide player to cover for Saka is a big mistake

this is crazy. they're basically investing into the player without having to buy him in the future if they don't want to. I wonder if this starts becoming common practice with big clubs as a way to bet on youngsters without needing to bring them to the club and bloat their rosters. personally I hate it because it turns everything into purely business vs sport. basically venture capital with players instead of companies by buying shares of a player's future transfer fee

He needs to fire his agent the minute the window closes

I'd be surprised Chelsea get Osimhen..

It isn't the first time. Chelsea tried to get Koulibaly for years until they finally got him after he turned 30 years old

Just read the theory about the EPL season. Since pep is on his last season with City it’s best that they win the league so he can leave on a high and this future seasons will be more competitive/up for grabs because if not he’ll sign an extension and then continue his reign of boring terror

Didn't realize this was a thing

 

[d3si]

I thought the Deivid news was misinformation. The loan thing makes more sense

If it's all true about the Sterling news, all I can say is thank you Arsenal *Giroud's voice*

My guy was on fire before the Qatar World Cup but then been dead since
Injury after injury

Let's go RCSA

Chopping onions in here

As much as I still feel it's a move best for all parties involved, the footy romantic in me is feeling a little something about him finally leaving.

Been at the club since he was 5 and for all his deficiencies on the pitch, you could never criticize his intangibles like effort and heart. He isn't good enough for where the club wants to get back to but it was never for a lack of trying.

There's a reason every single one of his managers rated him and played him a lot more often than fans would've expected or liked

250+ club appearences for his boyhood club later and he's leaving for hopefully a successful spell in Italy. Conte's had great success with his signings from United so I fully expect him to already have a plan/role for him over there.

Best of luck to him, I expect him to be very well received if ever he returns to OT in the future. I'm also glad I don't have to root against him now that he ended up outside of the Prem

Hated this with Lukaku his 2nd time at Inter and hate this with Tammy , DLineman *** number

 

[d3si]

Aw

Initial thoughts C Chelsea fans in here?

blackmomo AZwildcats d3si MetalMario dacomeup el producto79 swerve sohi 23 Retroballer and everyone


What does this mean for someone like Mudryk , you guys had too many wingers already. Really not sure how Maresca will be able to keep everyone happy with playing time now

 

[AZwildcats]

Ain’t no ******* way……I don’t even know what to say to this. What was the point in signing Felix or Neto then?

 

[rolaholic]

About to be awkward as **** when he walks in and sees Lukaku with his locker



Como building the best Italian side in 2018

 

[cs02132]

Chelsea ended up having a good window to me
Plenty of attacking options
