I wanted City to get AWB and thought it was a great signing by Utd. I think Pep could improve him a lot and that he would have worked out well ultimately as a rotation option with Walker, but presumably that would have meant no Cancelo so phew.

Came as a swashbuckler of a tackler keeping 1vs1 opposition relatively quiet down his side (especially after the madness we had on that spot) but since 2019 it’s been downhill. Bambi on ice going forward.

I really liked the AWB signing. Yes, his strength was 1 v 1 duels and recovery tackles and whenever we played teams like City he knew how to keep players like Sterling quiet. But I also thought he could improve elsewhere.
He did kinda improve his crossing despite what people say, but he's just so bad at resisting pressing, and accurate passing and final third decision-making that he gets exposed time and time again in tactical setups that ask him to do more than one thing right.

Some of our Utd bros always fall head over heels over young players. Each successful piece of play they are involved in gets blown up beyond reason. I stil remember how people went ape shit over Macheda. Regen season every season.
Clicked post in my AWB search up.

What a time for Origi and MinamiNO to get injured.
Rumour that Doherty night be on his way back to wolves this month. Would be very happy with that, because we'd likely need to bring in another RWB in

Actually looking forward to watch some games from the AFCON.
Ghana's new wonder kid, Abdul Fatawu Isshaku, has been called.
He has elected the best player in the U20 AFCON a year ago, has 6 goals in the Ghanian League, was linked with a couple of German clubs and Liverpool in the summer but his agent said that he had signed with us and would join the club in March when he turns 18, a journalist who interviewed Isshaku a few weeks ago mentioned yesterday that he was joining a top Portuguese club soon.
The boy has one hell of a shot, scored some cracking goals.

i still cant believe AWB was ever a winger because he cant dribble to save his life and he can barely cross. just totally unnatural doing ball activities

Oh wow a chess grandmaster? Expecting him to make some great moves in the transfer market. Hopefully he doesn't pawn their best players. They'll be dancing in the streets of Southampton toknight. What's his net worth 3Sixty? You'll have to check, mate. Yas Queen!
i know it's a different bloke

By Frustrated_me Go To PostI can't tell who won this match, wish I could have watched it live lolThree Bridges (team in blue). The only team that scored a goal. The score was in the top left.
This seems to be more of an issue with injuries/AFCON players than COVID. I feel like clubs are taking the piss a bit now trying to get games called off because they have a few cases.
Should either forfeit or play the reserves simple as that.

Heh, just noticed it was Three Bridges. Their home ground is 50 metres from my flat.

Being reported now that the fee for Trippier is around £13m. If that's the case that's a very good deal for us.
Good to get a new owner in Gao was cooked before he started expect him in a Chinese work camp by the time the year is out.
Not expecting the new guy to come in and splash the cash but also not expecting him to behead any journalists so yknow good and bad.
Id say the biggest part is Rasmus Ankersen being involved

We're going to have a very busy summer period.
Isco, Marcelo, Bale and a few others off the wage sheet finally + we saved on 180 million this sumer in not signing Mbappe.
Good option to have off the bench

By Laboured Go To PostBest fucking football I've seen in months.There were so many red cards given out but it looked like the team didn’t actually go men down. Was that 3 reds for Blue? Or 2 and 1?
And I bet that's not exclusive to the sport either, we're all mentally exhausted m8. Those who aren't haven't realized it yet.
By Laboured Go To PostInteresting one. Bet there are a number of players feeling like this at this point.
plenty of footballers who are human? big if true.
