Everton need to sign a few players to improve the squad or they will be back in the relegation battle too. FFP will limit their ability to invest in top quality replacements so they'll need to sell the likes of Richarlison or Calvert-Lewin.. They also need to offload overpaid duds like Keane, Gomes, Gbamin, Alli, Iwobi and Rondon but it will be very difficult and probably costly. A decent manager would help too...

Theroadlesstravelled Posted June 1, 2022 Author Share Posted June 1, 2022 Perisic should be a quality signing for Tottenham. No messing around from Spurs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
senorsoupe Posted June 1, 2022 Share Posted June 1, 2022 That's your Pogba away. His second spell at Old Trafford has epitomized how badly Man United have been run the last decade or so. A brilliant natural talent who was wasted by a club that didn't know what to do with him or how to get the best out of him 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theroadlesstravelled Posted June 1, 2022 Author Share Posted June 1, 2022 I’d love to see Pogba rock up at Man City and ball like 1970s Brazil. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were planted stories in the English, Spanish and Italian media almost every week. If he hadn't carked, Raiola would have been up to the same tricks with Haaland. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theroadlesstravelled Posted June 3, 2022 Author Share Posted June 3, 2022 I still believe that Man Utd’s signing policy was how based partially on many Insta followers they have. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barry Ferguson's Hat Posted June 5, 2022 Share Posted June 5, 2022 Graeme Souness wrote a really good essay called 'The Pog Delusion'. Would recommend it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bishop Briggs Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 Matt Targett has signed a permanent deal with Newcastle United. Aston Villa got £12 million on top of the £3 million loan fee. Fraser Forster has signed for Spurs on a free from Southampton. IIRC McCarthy and Caballero are also out of contract.... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theroadlesstravelled Posted June 10, 2022 Author Share Posted June 10, 2022 It looks like Darwin Nunez is going to sign for Liverpool for £80m. Manchester United apparently pulled out of the deal as they think he is overpriced and might have trouble adapting to the #Barclays. Portuguese football is rotten so MU might have a point but as soon as he's announced at Liverpool the media will have him as a fantastic bargain at half the price and Mane traitorous wee shite. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Satoshi Posted June 11, 2022 Share Posted June 11, 2022 Man Utd would have loved to have him but he clearly would prefer Liverpool hence why they pulled out. Anything else is just saving face. Hope perisic is a good signing for Spurs especially bit he is a defender in FPL. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deanburn Dave Posted June 12, 2022 Share Posted June 12, 2022 Manchester United will be shipping in and out a whole load of players to try and find something that works. I would not be surprised if it leads to another season of underachievement. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are many players who have successfully moved from Portuguese clubs to the EPL, notably Ronaldo, and other top European leagues. Wolves have recruited several Portuguese players and players from clubs in the country. They sold Jota to Liverpool for a large profit. Luis Diaz looks good value at £42m in today's inflated transfer market. Liverpool will have scouted Nunez extensively and only pay top dollar for players that they really want . Given Man United's dreadful recruitment in recent years, e.g. Dalot, I would view such a statement with huge scepticism.

Theroadlesstravelled Posted June 12, 2022 Author Share Posted June 12, 2022 Time will tell if he’s worth £80 million. It seems high though. Rangers are probably better than Benfica. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's too high for the player he currently is, IMO, but if he does fulfill his potential it'll look like a great deal. He's worse than Haaland at the moment but he doesn't have the same injury problems so you maybe think long term he'll be the better signing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do wonder how much of Haalands injury problems were him being over cautious in his last season before his big move. He has a rather odd body type so maybe the issues will be more chronic. Hope not though, he's a good player to watch. Not many footballers in the past are similar to him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Satoshi Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 1 hour ago, Mr. Alli said: Care to elaborate on this, please? Well, it's quite obvious when you look at him. He's far taller, heavier, faster and more muscular than the average footballer - who typically have bodies more akin to middle distance runners. These are all ostensibly good things, but it wouldn't surprise me if it also came with weaknesses such as increased pressure on joints etc, especially given the twisting and turning nature of elite football. Rooney and original Ronaldo are other examples of unusual body types (short and very stocky) and it may have led to increased injuries. But I'm not a doctor, this is all just my view as an extremely unqualified observer. I think it's also likely he wasn't willing to take many risks last year because he knew he would be moving on, his injuries appear more frequent and less serious rather than infrequent and very serious. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
