I'm delighted to announce I've got a book out next month. It's on Arsene Wenger and the story of his Arsenal career
No pls
You know what's a good idea?
Publishing a book on someone's career before they retire.

August football, eh? Bloody hell. You are reading the columnist who tipped Chelsea for the title and said Leicester City might go down. It would also have been possible to glean the impression from these pages that José Mourinho is a smart operator, that Dick Advocaat might be good for Sunderland and that Leicester seemed to have turned to Claudio Ranieri too late in the much-travelled coach’s career, all opinions apparently in need of drastic revision after just a few days of the new season.
Still, what would football be like without surprises? Tottenham Hotspur, most probably.

The scenes when we pay more than £22m for him.

By Auto Go To Postfrom Pedro to Mane
Eh. One's got something to prove and isn't being somewhat forced out of a club because he can't get gametime.
There's a particular reason I'd prefer Mane over Pedro. But I won't post it unless this interest is acted upon.
The gloves are coming off lads:
You've got jungle fever?
Stevenage manager Teddy Sheringham says he may ditch "Mr Nice Guy" as he still waits for his first win in management.
Boro have lost three of their four games this season - the most recent against Leyton Orient on Tuesday.
"We need to get accustomed to what it takes to win football matches - get ruthless with each other," he told BBC Three Counties Radio.
"Perhaps no more 'Mr Nice Guy' and enjoying the surroundings; maybe some home truths and sorting things out."

Marotta: "Our remaining budget after signing Alex Sandro? Not a problem, if we deem it to be an investment for the future."
This is is, m8s. We have arrived. Infinite budget.

Did people think Mane was bad last season lol?
10 goals in 30 games, in his first season, at 23, from the wing... Good to me. Weird that a few Twitter accounts seem to think he's shit based on the fact he doesn't play for Barcelona.

I dont think the issue is Mane not being good (I really like him as a player) but it's going from pedro, multiple la liga winner, CL winner, Super cup winner, to Mane. It's as much about the stature of the names being linked as much as the ability of the player themselves. Also I dont buy that Van Gaal had concerns about Pedro's pace, is Mane really faster the pedro I dont know but I doubt it.

it does drop to 7 in 29 if you take out that one game. The twitter reaction is crazy though, you'd swear they'd bid for some league 2 nobody or something. He's a quality player and he'll only get better. Could probably do with another full season of starts though.
Mane could be a good signing. But I certainly prefer Chelsea to sign a proven winger, after years of Salah, Cuadrado, Marin and such trash.
By wedward Go To PostDoes Mane rule out Muller?
Don't think Muller is feasible anyway. Mane is a back up to Pedro and/or Muller.
Darmian was the back up to Clyne and that worked out fine.

Pedro, multiple winner at 28 on huge wages who doesn't really want to move in the first place to young hungry footballer.
Gonna stop reading twitter now tbh. No one seems to understand there's a happy medium between Lionel Messi and Leon Clarke in terms of quality.
I say this sincerely; I'm very glad I've got a place like here to come and talk to people who know their stuff.

I still believe in Salah. Mahmoud would never lie to us.

Mane's a good player with goals tbf. I don't think there needs to be a huge reaction at the drop from Pedro to him because it's not that big in real terms. But ultimately neither are what United really want, which is a matchwinner on the flank.
Anyway, Alex Sandro to Juve, goddamn. He is top, top quality. Likes to run infield at times from what I've seen, so they'll need to curb that, but generally he just straight eats up the flank.

Oh for the record I think Mane is a good signing I was just trying to explain where the resentment is coming from.
Fucking hell, Marotta is on fire. I've never seen him so sure and so definitive on our mercato strategies. He said the Draxler idea died weeks ago, that Dortmund haven't put Mikiteriyaki and Gundogan up for sale and so we'll respect their wishes and not bother them for either player, etc ... and at the same time said that we're getting a prestigious AMF, a player worthy of Juve's legacy FOR SURE.
Trolling hard. Must be.

Mm, we don't have enough matchwinners. Mane brings pace and unpredictability though, which we desperately need.
Sandro confirmed? Poor Evra. Come home bb.
Porto's scouting network is just madness.
