By n8 dogg Go To PostRemember the 4-1 win against Swansea away opening day? RVP double. Welbz double. Welbz fucking nawty chip. What a day. What a misnomer.
Can't get excited about Bernardo Silva yet. Every team with money is gonna get linked to every Monaco player for the next few months. I think the only one who is sure to leave so far is Bakayoko.
Right now it's just the waiting game on CL to land most targets, but I do wonder who has Mou requested specifically. So many positions needed.

Well, I hope we "break the bank" on bringing in actual quality players this summer. No matter who that ends up being. I've had more than enough of the overpriced garbage brought in under Moyes and - in particular - LVG.
Bailly, Ibrahimović (RIP), Mkhitaryan and Pogba have all been relative successes so here's hoping for a much brighter future under José.
Selling off unwanted deadwood is equally important but tends to get overshadowed. It'll be interesting to see how good/bad we'll manage to do there.

classic vid. i actually managed to convince myself that we'd be fine w/ Moyes after that. i should've never doubted my initial feelings that Moyes was a bum.

Bernado Silva is exactly the type of player you don't need as long as you have Mata in the squad.

Isco renewing. Fully deserved, hope he's featured a lot more next year, he's more than done what it takes to be a starter.
With the rise of Asensio and Isco I bet one of the BBC leaves this summer, and I have a feeling it's going to be Benzema. Morata / Ronaldo to be our strikers next year.
If we don't win anything this year, greassymen is ours.

By n8 dogg Go To PostBear in mind I argued to give Moyes more time in Feb (i think/hope). This wasn't long after a spirited performance vs BayernI remember that 4-1 game, the falsest of dawns
It was definitely fucking before Fulham

Charts and stuff at the link
As data from Premierinjuries.com shows, between 13 August 2016 and 19 April 2017, Chelsea's players have suffered just 18 'serious' injuries, where we define 'serious' as resulting in at least 10 days on the sidelines. Of all Premier League team only West Brom, with 12, have had to deal with fewer than Chelsea.
Those injuries have resulted in Chelsea players missing 324 days of the season: in a squad of 25, that equates to less than 13 days per player. Again, West Brom are the only other team less affected by injury.
But West Brom were never going to be a threat to Chelsea in the title race. Each of the teams who are involved at the top of the table have had significantly more injuries than Conte's squad.
Tottenham have suffered 27 'serious' injuries; Manchester City 28; Liverpool 30; Manchester United 32, and poor old Arsenal 37. Each of those teams have lost more than twice as many days to those injuries as Chelsea.

By Hitch Go To PostWonder what Ibra's signing on fee was
I'm sure it wasn't insignificant. Does that stuff ever come out? Don't think we ever got a number for Milner or Matip.
Rarely does. But often hear it said, that they tend to be pretty damn high. Obviously a different scale, but I remember Copenhagens director of sports always saying there was no free players, when signing a player with an expiring contract, saying that the fee to the agent and players to sign when not on a contract, is pretty much identical to just a transfer fee.

Parents bought back some mozarella and smoked cheese from Italy, so made some pizzas with my wife. Tastes great.

Copenhagen Pieros Sotiriou. The cypriot scored against us in the CL qualifiers, and as such, it's a tradition to buy whoever scores against us (if possible).
What a time. Goodbye Cornelius. :(
But we will hardly miss you when this half turk starts dabbing.

3 more days and I'm off to Hawaii for a much needed vacation, me and my gf booked a 2 weeks stay. The excitement is starting to kick in, can't wait to discover some of the islands.
That looks fantastic.
Meanwhile today it hailed both when I was outside at work, and then it fucking started again when I went home.
In late April this is not supposed to happen
Al Gore you liar

By Vivalapizza Go To PostWe spent £130m (Juventus paid £20m of the Pogba fee). Our sales this season amount to just under £50m. A net spend of £80m-ish.
I thought Chelsea's net spend was £60m but if you're right, then they've actually spent more than us this season :lol
Of course we operate in our own sphere. We can pay £70m for players every summer if we want to with the same to spare for others. I'm not trying to "talk", but the facts are the facts.
Are you forgetting the windo, I dont know how on earth you get to 130m lol.
£89.2 million for Pogba
£35.7 million for Micky
£32 million for Baily
Total £156
Sold
Morgan £19.0 million
Depay £13.0 million
Paddy £4.46 million
Tyler £1.5 million
Kean £1.00mllion
Net £117 million
that looks pretty Frustrated. if im not too wasted i'll try and get some good pics down in St. Thomas this week. i failed at that last year lol
the answer is yes

Thanks guys.. kid, I'm staying in Maui but might move around a day or two to another island.
We're staying in a villa located in a fruit farm. North East of the airport, away from the touristy location down south. We'll have a car to move around, I can't wait to hike and discover cool spots.

Ok so do the lavender tour, like you have to do that, beautiful scenes and the Island transforms. I'm sure you'll do the usual eateries but if you want any specifics shout me.
If you enjoy the occasional joint head over to south beach, very hippy (its a nudist beach full of old people tho so be warned not for the feint of heart).
Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
Manchester United want to bring in both Atletico Madrid’s Antoine Griezmann and Andrea Belotti of Torino this summer, and have made progress with both mega deals, as they continue to consider their attacking options in the wake of Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s injury.
There are yet issues to be sorted, as Griezmann wants Champions League football next season if he is to leave the Vicente Calderon - something far from guaranteed - and Torino want £84m for Belotti, who has the same type of buy-out clause as the French star. That would mean United having to pay close to £170m for both to reshape their forward line, amid a host of other planned changes, in what is likely to be another big summer.
That's what being rich looks like lads.
I'm currently planning my honeymoon to Italy. Starting in the North spending a week in Venice, Verona and then Lake Garda. Then we're going to drive down to Rome through the countryside and along the coast stopping in a few places along the way.
Anyone have any recommendations for places to visit whilst we travel down between Lake Garda and Rome?

There seems to be something to do every 30 KMs in the island :)

By Zabojnik Go To PostHow much do we reckon United are going to spend this summer, then? ~200-300M€?
There abouts, but we've got a fair few to sell too. We're also losing a lot off our wage bill.

Yeah, maybe. Can't keep carrying them both around considering how unreliable they are.

It's not going to matter how much Man Utd get back from most the players who end up getting thrown out, it's £300k+ that gets removed from the wage bill. Not bad at all.

I'm gonna post a get rid/buy shit when I get home. Belotti and Grease, woof. Still though, Rashford slips to third choice in that scenario. Hmm.

Allow me to bang my well-worn drum.
Griezemann is not a striker in Mou's system any more than Mkhi is.
Bellotti might be, but not Ant.
