Fudge. Not excited about Sarri going to Chelsea and less excited about him getting his pass master, but such is life.
Let's go out and stump for Ndombele, please.
By Laboured Go To PostAt least we'll have pace off the bench.
By Splatt Go To PostBut what's going to happen to Conte :'(He'll be at Milan by Christmas.
Annoyed that a deal for Jorginho is falling through, really annoyed. We badly need a midfielder of his kind and we've just let this drag on too much. Kovacic is far from an adequate alternative too. #Fuming

Sure, why not.

Frustrated was half right. There will be 400m in deals at Real, only they'll be receiving it not spending it.

To risk about 400m on a 33 year old is ballsy as fuck, I like the ambition and overall I think it will work out for them. I also think the ROI will pay off the transfer, Ronaldo will deliver the goods.

Karius leaving me high and dry out here. It’s okay, he’ll save something in the next friendly maybe.
Tbh Marcelo and Benzema are certainly a lot less effective with no Ronaldo on the pitch. Wouldn't be surprised if both sold.

Arsenal should really give a free massage to Messi before the game and give him a standing ovation during every pass
By FermentedFungi Go To PostI'm surprised at the Pool/Dybala link… How would he fit in that system? Can he Gegen?Its not happening, but I assume the idea is that Fabinho and Keita would provide a solid enough base to allow us to play a legit AM. From what I've seen and heard he doesn't shirk or lack for pressing and defensive responsibilities, similar to Fekir.
That's where the question mark was with Coutinho in that position. As much as I like him he doesn't have the genetic gegen, speed over distance to track a runner, or that intelligence a midfielder needs to block passing lanes that comes about through playing there for years. The latter I reckon he could easily be trained to improve in massively. And even if he doesn't, Barca will find him a position.
I miss him tbh :(
Very disappointed in Juve's PR and marketing here. You've signed the best footballer on the planet. Where's the fucking video lads?

By FermentedFungi Go To PostI'm surprised at the Pool/Dybala link… How would he fit in that system? Can he Gegen?
It’s a nothing link, already confirmed by Liverpool based journalists.
It’s basically agents/newspapers trying to link us to every attacking midfielder under the sun after the Fekir deal went on ice.
I wonder if at some point Karius/his agent have to realise that even if Klopp wants to rehabilitate him, actually staying and having these mistakes continue to happen is in reality killing his career.
I get that playing for a CL club is big for him, but if I were his agent I would be looking for a way out about now.
He's got plenty of time to take a step down and then back up if he's good enough, but he might think that its not worth the risk financially. Nobody who will take him at this stage will be paying him anything like what we are I assume.
I get Joe Hart vibes from him where he may have easily shattered bravado instead of confidence, which wouldn't bode well for him recovering from those mistakes in the final. Preseason or not, that error yesterday has me very concerned, much more than I was before. I'd hoped that the concussion stuff might have allowed him to get over the mistakes in the final whether it truly effected his performance or not, but nope. There's no way he spills the shot that badly if his condifence isn't still on the floor.
Mignolet back in goal by mid-September, and ain't nobody selling a good goalkeeper in January. May even have to accelerate Grabara, Ward never got a look-in so can assume Klopp isn't a fan.

That Jorginho Rumbo is mad.
How the hell have they convinced him to go there, a club in mild turmoil, as opposed to Pep’s City.
I know London, money and Sarri will play its part, but still.
