>>149517975
It really isn't out of the realm of possibility.
He's only 28 as well. I thought he'd at least be in his 30s now.

>>149517989
hes only signing players over 6'2 as well

Prem is set up to benefit the Americans. You think it's normal that City are being raked over shit that happend 20 years ago whilst Chelsea are plummy selling the women's club to themselves for 200m?

Citymong still seething

>Nørgaard to Arselel
Well well well
Looks like another year of Arselel missing out on the title race

>>149518066
Kek, true. Perhaps his calling is at Arsenal then

>>149518083
He replaces Jorginho and Zubi replaces Partey. What is the issue?

>>149518143
The main issue is they're both shit

is /trans/ ever right?

Hello, where are united's signings?

Two Premier League clubs have enquired with Lazio about former Arsenal left-back Nuno Tavares.

Lazio are prepared to sell the 25-year-old at the right price.

Tavares' only signed for Lazio two weeks ago.

He joined initially on loan in a deal which included an obligation to buy a year ago.

Tavares also spent time on loan at Marseille and Nottingham Forest when he was at Arsenal.

>selling a player you just bought last week
harry redknapp tier wheeling and dealing

Geordie bros....

First united take all our signings and now Isak wants out

>>149518248
They're going after Elanga and Trafford but missed out on Pedro

>>149518286
DiMarzio tier status??

>Former England captain Paul Ince has been charged with drink-driving after crashing into a central reservation, police said.

>The ex-Manchester United and Liverpool midfielder was arrested after a black Range Rover crashed at 17:00 BST on Saturday on Chester High Road in Neston, Wirral.

>Cheshire Police said the 57-year-old has been bailed to appear at Chester Magistrates' Court on 18 July.

>>149518286
Keeping Isak would be the best move Newcastle can make. "Can" = taking into account their business so far as we know for sure there have been several snubs.

>>149518286
they'll end up panic buying jackson or DCL

Dave still having a mad one, is he?

dave isn't real
hope this helps

Geordies want their club to be treated as a big one. The second you do that they start seething. Weirdest mindset in world football.

>>149518360
you have literally been talking to yourself for hours now. do you ever leave the house?

>I know it you talking to yourself!!
The mindset gets weirder.
Your fucking shite Saudi club got snubbed multiple times. Stop crying about it.

righto arsewog you sad fuck, enjoy another year of putting on the pressure

>>149518351
To answer your question; yes. Mostly talking to himself, switching between gimmicks.

Because the Geordietroon spends all day replying to himself (blatant case just now) and praising his shit club, he thinks others do the same.
Instead of just saying "yeah fair enough my club got snubbed" he's taken it upon himself to have a full-on mental breakdown. Really enjoyable to wind this thick twat up.

sad fuck is still going at it bugger me thatcher did a number on this country at least hes found a new obsession and its not the enic protest spam

I find it funny that Flying Pig isn't more popular than he is. Fucking Sneed or w/e that Muslim fat fuck is called is more popular (with Shillbridge obviously No.1). That Pakistani Liverpool fan is huge too I don't get it. The fat Scouser Liverpool fan is similar I think but not as big. The fat Chelsea lad is the biggest Chelsea one iirc. Think the black shredded manlet Muslim is the biggest Arsenal one (Dunno if the 45 year old chain smoking alchy wigger in Lee is bigger I despise him).

>>149518286
Best thing newcastle can do is selling isak for 150 and buy gyo for 80. They get a better player and 70M

I watch Lee Gunner's streams every so often it's insane how many Arsenal streamers there are. There must be at least 50 overall.

kill yourself retard, i genuinely mean that.

there are two supposed fans of Manchester clubs who do nothing but focus on Liverpool all day everyday, there must be a market for these schizos

So this is odd, but why is Burnley the odd one out? Also why are Arsenal and Liverpool and West Ham the odd ones out? Seems... Odd. Especially when foreign clubs do June 30th as well

>>149518954
If other clubs dont have attackers they cant harm you.

>>149518954
chelsea fans have fully bought into the 7+year contract shit as well, saying they're ahead of the curve and other clubs are gonna start following their example

>pop in

going to shops, anybody want anything while i'm out?

>>149518954
how much did they cost combined?
how much would you value them at now?

>>149518965
they'll be fine, arsenal is ready to pick up any trash that chelsea doesn't want anymore

>>149518920
Might be to do with when their parent companies do their accounts, e.g. their American owners who run US sports companies too. Or to do with available resources etc

It ultimately doesn't change anything though

>>149518965
It does make sense to help spread the transfer fee, limit amortization, sell players at top price. It doesnt make sense if the player is a complete flop and nobody wants him.

>>149519002
They closed the amortisation loop hole, there's a maximum now

>>149518976
>Palmer: £40m
>Nkunku: £52m
>George: Youth Academy
>Neto: £52m
>Madueke: £30m
>Sterling: £48m
>Felix: £45m (plus £9.5m loan fee earlier)
>Jackson: £32m
>Delap: £30m
>Broja: Youth
>Guiu: £5m
>Fofana: £10m
>Willian: £29m
>Pedro: £60m
>Gittens: £55m
So £436m (£445m with loan fee of Felix). Using transfermarkt and converting and I don't think they include add-ons.

>>149518954
Loan the young ones to their satellite clubs and sell the old ones to Arsenal

Is Chelsea’s proposal for a new stadium to accommodate supporters, or just in case their entire squad turns up?

>>149519092
>sell the old ones to Arsenal
You've already said this on your Indian VPN and no Todd Boehly player has gone to Arsenal or United. The last player that went to Arsenal was Havertz aged 24 (thus, not old) and the last one that went to United was Mount aged 24 (thus, not old). I don't know where this meme came from, I really don't.

>Millwall have been fined £15,000 for homophobic chants aimed at Crystal Palace left-back Ben Chilwell during their FA Cup tie in March
You have to wonder what exactly it was they were chanting about former Chelsea star Ben Chilwell

>>149519065
transfermarkt includes all add ons and sell on fee that have been achieved.
>>149519116
>no Todd Boehly player has gone to Arsenal or United
Because no todd boehly player is old enough you retard. He has sold and loaned many old players to them though.
Secondly, I am not on a vpn. There are two Indians in this general which you would know if you were not a schizo.
Thirdly, I am not even the Indian anon you replied to in the last thread.

ABLsissies....

>>149519369
If Newcastle were smart theyd sell him now.

Hes very good but injury prone. That extra money plus CL can help them get a much better squad

Liverpool sold coutinho and used the money to get van dijk and alisson, Newcastle should do the same imo

Hands off, er, whoever it was who was in for him!!

>>149519369
>Newcastle United are now becoming increasingly attentive to Harvey Elliott’s situation at Liverpool
£70m+elliott no tip

If Newcastle were smart they'd sell their best player to their title rivals, that'd be the smart move la

>>149519392
You're absolutely right but the problem is
And I know this upsets xer in this thread but
They cannot replace him as it does seem like they have a huge problem attracting talent now. Before they hoodwinked a couple of big players into going there, Isak being one of them, now it seems like that will be difficult

>>149518299
Gold Standard for Transfers

>>149519392
The ultimate move was to cash in and get Delap. Selling him is still the way to go.

>150m for an unproven in the premier league player
>120m (max) for a premier league proven player

it's getting embarrassing how much liverpool customers are begging and how much the media are desperate for it to happen btw

>>149519415
Just buy Gyokeres, he wants to leave and Arsenal won't sign him

>>149518954
>Didn't include Mudryk because banned
Does make me chuckle that because of the bonkers contracts they were dishing out, he'll still be a Chelsea player by the time his ban is served (unless they can get an agreement to terminate his contract which they probably will but still, funny)

>>149518965
They can't use it the way they were anymore. You're still allowed to give out massive length contracts if you want but the finances can only be spread out to a maximum of 5 years or something like that

Rodrygo gonna struggle with English refs giving "physical" style of play lots of leeway. Even if he doesn't get broken early, he doesn't seem the type, nor have the meatyness to do well in Englel league of crunchy tackling. Spending 150 gorillions on him seems a ridiculous gamble..

>>149520132

>>149518954
US moneyball, forwards appreciate in value quicker, just a brief good run is enough and the selfish ones can look good even on shit teams, then use hype and sell for quick $$$ meme players locked into long term contracts with them.
Purely playing the numbers

>>149520219
For forwards to appreciate they need to actually play and score goals

>>149520420
Then why is sesko valued at 80 million when he scored like 15 goals

>>149518051
Cheeky. Champions League money available to spend this season and then next season they can sell that new venue near the stadium for £50m.

>>149520420
Joao pedro scored 30 goals from 70 appearances for brighton, 18 of which were penalties. He scored 12 goals from open plays in 2 full seasons and his price appreciated from 30m to 60m

Correction: 15 were penalties. I accidentally counted his watford penalties as well. He scored 15 outfield goals in 2 seasons

Charly Musonda Jr has retired from professional football. That's charly, tika and lamisha all retired now

Nobody is talking about how there are two tiers of fans of football nowadays:
People who enjoy the matches and their team. Might wear a shirt of the team they support. Generally older
People who prefer talking about football culture and watching the social media culture surrounding it. Will wear a PSG or Barcelona (they pronounce it Barth-elona) shirt but largely prefer players over clubs. Generally younger

I hate the player worship, even /sp/ is full of it.

Constant threads about Messi vs Ronaldo, hype about Mbappe, Vinicius etc

I've also noticed it mainly seems to be with La Liga players, I think it's because the league is so bad that people don't really get invested in clubs there and it's approachable for casuals to watch tiktoks of players or real/barca without having to invest time

>>149523014
The constant Lionel Messi v Cristiano Ronaldo battle is genuinely baffling. There's even a Wikipedia article on it ffs: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Messi%E2%80%93Ronaldo_rivalry

>>149523038
I do wonder where English fans lie on this one.
4chan is pointless for such debates but it would probably be pro-Ronaldo even taking United fans out of it.

this weasel trying to slip inside /trans/ and start a Messi/Ronaldo debate

Arsenal had positive contacts with Eze's representatives over the weekend. Eze is open to joining Arsenal. They are working quite strong on this one, let's see if they decide to proceed with the release clause, with the player and Palace. [@FabrizioRomano]

english fans are too busy whinging about VAR

>>149523169
Shut the fuck up you terminally online spastic. Player worship will kill football. Anon's point about it being La Liga players is spot on because in Spain, you support Real/Barca AND your local team. It's fucking weird. It would be like someone in Portsmouth for example supporting one of Man Utd/Liverpool AND Pompey themselves.

I only follow players, clubcucks in the mud

@FabrizioRomano
: “Arsenal had a meeting with the agents of Eberechi Eze over the weekend. It was an important meeting because Arsenal wanted to start discussing with the player’s side about eventual conditions of the deal.”

“Arsenal have all the information on the release clause, the installments, all the information from the player’s side now, in terms of salary, the whole package — Arsenal are now informed.”

“It was quite a positive meeting. The player is NOT close to a move, but he would be open to joining Arsenal. Arsenal are busy with several things, but we have to add Eze. Arsenal are pushing & working quite strong on this one.” [YouTube]

it's all a distraction from the real target(s)

Chelsea still interested in Kudus despite other deals

Latest from Kaveh Solekhol & Zinny Boswell:

Chelsea are still interested in Mohammed Kudus despite having agreed deals for Joao Pedro and Jamie Gittens.

They are monitoring Kudus' situation closely with Tottenham and Newcastle also keen.

Chelsea were offered the chance to sign the forward earlier this summer and he has been of interest to Chelsea since he was at Ajax.

There will be departures as well as arrivals at Chelsea this summer. Chelsea are believed to be keen to include players moving to West Ham as part of a potential deal for Kudus but that is not something West Ham are interested in.

Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall has previously been of interest to Graham Potter since he took over at West Ham.

If anyone seriously thinks the wc wasn’t rigged, their opinion doesn’t matter
Just look at the joke of a player that is messi now, he’s actively hindering his team from winning games

I get what you mean but you also seem like a stuck up nerd faggot

>>149524808
>>149524808
>he’s actively hindering his team from winning games
That was Ronaldo aswell until recently. It wasn't all his fault but then again neither is it all Messi's fault that inter miami are crap.

Personally i'm always going to lean towards Ronny because unlike Messi he has played in multiple top leagues including EPL ofcourse. France and USA just aren't the same.

And still that means literally nothing because at the end of the day they aren't even remotely similar, they represent different aspects of football and so you can't compare them.

>>149524808

Isn't it funny how despite Liverpool fans winning the league their main highlight is all about United.

>>149523634
The league is stronger overall but only Arsenal had the 'stability' to maintain a title race even without a striker. It was pretty predictable.

>>149525958
All those teams are top of their leagues. They don't have to cope with multiple demanding higher level competitions every week, and they have more momentum.
Not even a united fan but just look at all these other prem clubs that have much bigger squads and lose in europe still because of all these other factors too. You can count on one hand the amount of matches with fair refereeing in the last few years, the schizophrenic refereeing stances. One minute the EPL is the most physical no nonsense league in the world, the next minute it is "ngubu scores a hat trick of penalties in controversial clash!"
Even spurs had a much easier europa run than united. It's all adds up obviously, and even then the margins can be so slim, but that's how highly competetive modern football works now. The amount of money and more opportunities (especially recently) involved is an incentive for clubs to rise up where before it was a pipe dream.
That has a knock on effect for bigger clubs and promoted sides too, so momentum and pressure is a big deal.

>>149526769
>Even spurs had a much easier europa run than united
Yeah but United benefited from only having to play against 10 men every game so it evened itself out.

If we all commented it would probably make these peoples year. Imagine all the millions of youtube channels like that. So many hours of content with no one at all watching.

>>149528287
They could have easily sold him for £50m. Hardly a positive thing to get a four year ban. Unless he has a contract clause stating he won't be paid for four years, Chelsea still have to do it afaik. But pretty sure most clauses have a morality clause (i.e, if you do something bad you don't have to be paid). I'll ask ChatGPT.

And here is your answer.

>>149528360
wasn’t that some random youngster shitter that Buyern wanted to get rid of ?
>>149528353
Poor Frank shouldn’t have taken the job.

>>149528411
chatgpt is coping here, chelsea can just rip it up and claim insurance

>>149528418
They signed him on loan in January and he did alright, had an option to buy for like £35m so they did it.

>>149528310
Yes but he is not as good as Eze, so if they lose out to them it's a downgrade. But Kudus is three years younger, so it might be a better buy anyway. Eze's release clause is way too high. He's £50m tops. But thanks to Chelsea + United being retards, everybody points to their signings as price point.

However, Chelsea ALSO want Kudus so why would Kudus pick Spurs over Chelsea?

>>149517914 (OP)
>60m for João Pedro
>55m for Gittens
This market needs a reset

>>149528445
I mean I said in my post they have a morality clause and that's what the AI said. They likely will say he did gross misconduct and terminate the contract. The issue would be that he's on a eight year contract so his lawyers would likely argue only half of the contract should be void, the rest should be paid since after four years he'll still have three years on the books.

But as it said, they did this with Mutu and likely have prepared contracts for potential shit like this. Though this is doping, rather than just a mad lad doing drugs.

>>149528481
the bubble will continue to blow up, 60-70 million is like 30-40 a few years ago. Average prices are so inflated that an average player is how
somewhere around 50 million while everyone in the right age and potential bracket who comes from one of the top 5 leagues is a 100 million plus tip.

if maguire is 100m i can overlook kudus

>>149528549
all of these fees are so insane when you think about it tho isn't it?
i don't know how most of you here are living day 2 day but i reckon most common "middle class"(whatever that refers to anaymore) people are barely breaking even, lucky if they own a house and a car and maybe a family, while these clubs spend some outrageous amounts that most of us won't be able to collect throughout our entire lifespan like it's pennies. the wealth gap on this floating rock has gotten into insane levels, globally. me thinks it's the nombre uno issue that needs to be tackled everywhere but it don't seem to be even on the top 10 list.

>>149528310
No but now that Big 6 fans know they can’t get Rogers they have to hype up someone else. Mbeumo/Kudus will get downplayed again if he stays at Brentford/West Ham.

tim ream poster in the 'log

kane needs to come home if he wants to win anything
actually howling that they went and signed vincent kompany who got burnley relegated right as he left

>>149529626
>if he wants to win anything
He won the Bundesliga title last year. I wanted him to join Arsenal just to make Spurs fans seethe but I'd settle for United as well.

>>149529655
its kinda ironic that kane would fit this arsenal side really well they shouldve put in a cheeky bid

couples of seasons more and Chelsea will have enough players to start their own league

>>149529815
Kane would easily score 30 goals with Arsenal a season. Maybe push 30 in the PL in general. He has a really good partnership with Saka (or he did before he decided to become a No.10) but there is no way he joins them. People smashed up Nico Williams for going to Barca and that might be off, they'd kill Kane if he joined Arsenal.

As I said, don't care about Arsenal but I would love to see Spurs seethe. My dislike of Spurs increased after their fans got cocky after the stadium and trying to demand £250m for naming rights and saying 'it was a fair price'. I mean I'm happy United didn't win the EL but mad Spurs won it. They had the easiest run in history (in a EL without any CL drop downs) and even then only managed it because they faced the worst United team in PL history. Had Zirkzee and Martinez not been injured, United would have won.

Either way, Kane is a midfielder now unless there are a million other players doing the work and he is told under no circumstances to drop deeper than the box. Against Senegal he literally spent more time as a DM than in the box. He should be played as a No.10 and since we're forced to play Bellendham, play him as a striker, he is listed as a FW for Madrid and he clearly wants to be a striker.

>>149528804
it's mostly a couple of clubs

Seeing as Chelsea are going to try and sign Kudus, they must be selling somebody. Not sure whomstve. Fofana, Jackson, Nkunku, Felix(?) and Madueke?

>Crystal Palace want £85m for Eze (I thought he had a much lower release clause, so is this a case of we want £85m if you wanna do instalments?)
>Rodrygo is available for £80m
Why would anybody go for Eze when Rodrygo is better, cheaper and three years younger? I guess wages?

Chelsea and United just paying release clauses and spending never ending amounts of money just make clubs put up silly prices.

>>149530212
Rodrygo wants mental wages

>>149530212
eze is homegrown isnt he? depending on the club trying to buy him that can be very valuable

>>149530234
Ah. So I was right it was wages. Mercenary attitude then. Guess he's just going to be a bench warmer for Madrid.

>>149530234
he wants like 10 million euros net. it's quite a lot but nobody is paying him that

>>149530719
I checked he wants what is essentially £400k per week. Even £300k is too much. £250k is the absolute max.

>>149530212
prem proven mate

When do the free agents sign whose contracts ending today? Absolutely buzzin for boscagli to Brighton

>>149530895
Yeah but he has a release clause doesn't he? So it must be £85m if you wanna do instalments. I can see no reason why they think he is worth £85m. Kudus would cost £70m and is 3 years younger.

>>149530771
it would be around 310k pounds. He's getting 250k euros in Rm right now.

>>149531031
He is demanding £10.2m-a-year which is £197k per week. I dunno if there is a higher tax band in the UK than 40%, maybe 45% so it's more like £375k per well.

>>149531154
it's not pounds but euros the 10 mill net according to Spanish sources. RM aren't paying him that nd neither are other clubs.

>>149531290
Oh. I read £. The source that people are citing for this is AS and that doesn't mention the wage he would demand at Arsenal, only that he gets about €8m net in Spain.

This is just one source to prove the numbers I mention.

is Mbeumo in United already?

why are people seething at villa for selling their women's team?

>>149531440
because it's financial bullshit to avoid punishment.

>>149531396
he's getting 12.5 mill euros mill total in RM. Spain has a 50% taxes for footballers, so it would be more like 6.6 millions. RM pays well but they don't go crazy with wages. I think you could get rodrygo for more reasonable wages if RM actually wanted to sell him.

>>149531424
>Brentford are in "constant dialogue" with forward Bryan Mbeumo and it is "not impossible" he will stay, says director of football Phil Giles.
So pay the £65m or he stays.

>>149531547
Well €8m net would mean €16m gross then (again, according to AS they say he is on €8m net), which is €310k (roughly) per week. So about £270k. I cannot see him moving here for lower than that, even with a better tax band. So £300k makes sense (based on what I've heard other people say). Apparently the only player Arsenal would sanction £300k per week for is Rice.

>Fluminense's Brazilian goalkeeper Fabio Deivson Lopes Maciel broke the record for clean sheets held by Buffon by achieving 508 clean sheets in his career
I know Buffon played in a much more difficult league but the record books won't note that. This GK is now going to take Shilton's 'most apps' record too. However Ronaldo is likely going to play until he gets it and his 1,000 career goals.

>>149531765

>>149531813
>still playing top level
In the Portuguese league with loads of 35+ players. Don't like Ronaldo but at least he is playing in a league that bought loads of quality players in for big money. Also plays for his NT.

>>149531909
well that's just not true

>>149531934
He is literally playing for the oldest team in Brazil, lad. Average age. AVERAGE. Chelsea's average age last year was 22 years. Silva is 40. Cano is 37. Santos is 35. Keno is 35. Ganso is 35. Manoel is 35. Xavier is 35. Everaldo is 33. Rene is 32. Otavio is 31. That's 11 players out of 36. Nearly a 1/3rd of their team is over 30.

>>149531467
>financial bullshit
the "but where are the proofs?" argument would be used since todd didn't get punished for it (?), though it seems weird that federations are always too late in handling this kind of stuff, the juve/barca swap transfer took ages to deal with and at the end of the day it was deemed "legal" but juve and paratici got punished for similar deals they did with other italian clubs, probably to save barca

>Juventus continue to work on a deal to sign Manchester United forward Jadon Sancho.
>Club-to-club contacts are ongoing, with United understood to want around £25m.
A lot less than United fans were saying they'd get for him

>>149537475
He probably won't be good enough to be a starter long term and wants regular football. He just had a strong U21 Euros (player of the tournament) so his stock is high right now, I reckon they'll get 5-10mil more than they would ha any other summer

>>149537475
They do but he has 2 years left on his contract so if he wants to go they'll sell him. If they could get him to sign an extension and then send him on loan for a year that would be best.

He's just in a weird situation where he can't play RW because Salah is there but he doesn't have the engine to play in Liverpool's midfield. He'd thrive in another team that doesn't need their midfielders to cover Salah and Trent. Also unlucky with injuries which set him back.

>>149537919
I saw him nearly knock my roommate off his moped.

Robbie Savage has been appointed as manager of Forest Green Rovers.

As head coach of Macclesfield last season, Savage secured promotion to the National League North at the club’s first attempt.

On his appointment, Savage said: "I feel I have an opportunity to develop a squad to create an attacking brand of football - an aggressive form of football to try and get Forest Green back into the EFL.

"I want a fast, exciting style but the most important thing is to win games."

Sporting's €60m [£51.4m] Viktor Gyokeres release clause is active from TODAY.

The official clause is €100m, but from 1st July, if any club makes an offer of at least €60m and Sporting refuses, they will have to compensate the player's agent with 10% of the value of the offer.

/sp/ is a place for learning. It's breddy gud because you can convince thots you're well traveled by not having to google where places are or obscure flags. Try it it really works.

Loosely related to what you said but I remember on my first day at Uni I was hanging out in like a common room area and I overheard a person say how he knew the capitals of every single country because he learned it for a quiz or something, I can't remember now. His friend then proceeded to list countries and your man did indeed have answers. Where they were right or not, I do not know but your post reminded me of that moment.

Nah he was fine, a couple of his passes were off but he was otherwise alright.

Tottenham Women set to appoint Ho

Latest from Sky Sports News' Michael Bridge:

Tottenham Women set to appoint SK Brann boss Martin Ho as their new manager.

Robert Vilahamn left Spurs at the end of last season after two years at the club.

Englishman Ho was in the Everton academy before moving to coaching. He worked as Andy Spence's assistant for Everton's women's team between 2015 and 2018, before taking up the head coach role at Liverpool Women's U21.

Ho left in 2020 to become assistant manager at Manchester United's women's team.

In 2023, he was appointed as SK Brann's head coach, replacing Olli Harder.

So Arsenal decided to sign Gyokeres on a 5 year deal. Sesko I guess was too expensive.

>>149546766
yeah i was looking at the bbc article. his wiki page says "becoming the first player in the league's 138-year history to score four penalties in a match" except the match was in 2022 and 2022-138 is 1884, but the football league was founded in 1888. and neither the bbc article or guardian article mention that.
then i tried googling to see if it really was the record but no luck.

>>149546907
https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11095/12542640/cameron-brannagan-interview-four-penalties-it-was-crazy-ex-liverpool-man-on-breaking-records-at-oxford

It was citing Sky, maybe they mean 'second division'.

>>149547003
hope hes got longer arms than jeremy

>>149546964
well oxford were in league 1 that season, and the second division itself wasnt even added until 1892, third division 1920.
this doesn't matter at all obviously i'm just confused what they're referring to, they didnt mean the club either cause the club was founded 1893

>>149547133
I'm not sure there. I thought maybe it was when the first football club was made but Burnley was made in 1882. The league was officially made 'professional' in 1885. So maybe it meant when it became professional? Also the first league games was 1871-72 season. That was the first official league season, but it wasn't professional OR an established league. The only important thing in 1884 was the formation of a new association in the British Football Association

>>149547211
guess so. still think if they're gonna say "in the history of the league" they obviously implied the football league, aka the 1888 creation. oh well

im sorry but all memes aside they HAVE to be the ultimate snubbed club

Literally nobody wants to join them even with CL

>>149547842
i wonder why. is the northeast really that much worse than liverpool / manchester or whatever
maybe they just sense that eddie howe is a meme

Uniqueness, an old belief that only upper-class people used double barrel names so you'd get more of a look in if you had one, etc.

>another chelski flop moving to arsenal
madukekek is heavily linked as well, weird club

Can't believe Villarreal is gonna scam Everton with Barry for 40m, he's fucking terrible

>>149553600
Doubtful. Arsenal don't have the money for a RW without outgoings. So unless they're selling Martinelli to Bayern, they're going to likely get Gyokeres and then a LW. Madueke also isn't bad at all. He's just been unlucky to play in a team with a gorillion wingers and autistic managers who change the team every week. If he played week in week out I think he'd do great. Havertz turned into a completely different player at Arsenal.

I just don't see them getting Madueke unless he's under £25m. He cost them £30m, hasn't done amazing (but not bad) so Chelsea can't charge a huge amount. If he was £25m then that's a good deal for a 23 year old. I'm sure Arsenal are only interested (not that I can find reliable sources on the details) due to Home Grown status.

>>149553849
Wait never mind, apparently having a guy with 6 years left on contract somehow makes a player who was £30m and has not performed worth £50m. Yeah they'd be absolutely retarded. It makes no sense for either party. He can't play on the left and he wouldn't oust Saka. The guy needs week in week out game time and he won't get it at Arsenal and is not worth £50m.

But then again, Arteta is weird so fuck knows, they're better off going for Eze (unless the £85m is true in which case lol lmao no) or going for a relative unknown. That PSV guy is literally perfect for them but nope. Or go for Adeyemi. He is left footed so prefers the RW but has also played as a striker and would be an insane impact sub.

>>149553882
Eze's clause is 65, no?

>>149553924
It is, but apparently they are demanding it is paid instantly, one instalment and if you want to drag the instalment over the length of the contract you have to pay £85m. So either £65m straight away or £17m every year for five years. That's what I remember reading.

So either mis-remembering or journos doing gay shit again.

>>149553849
>Madueke also isn't bad at all.
you're right he's diabolical, arsenal fans should organize a protest if this deal goes through.
>eze
he's a very obvious odegaard cover/replacement, the only winger allowed to cut inside by arteta is saka

>>149553979
>you're right he's diabolical
He most certainly isn't. Are you confusing him with Mudryk?
>Eze replacement for Odegaard
Not too sure about that when Rice would likely move into No.10 and Merino and Zubimendi would be in the midfield like they were in Sociedad. As for the only winger, I only watch MotD but I saw Trossard and Martinelli cut inside all the time and it was actually to the teams' detriment. In fact, one of the reasons Martinelli actually seemed to improve this season compared to last is was he was willing to take it to the byline and cross, rather than immediately be predictable and cut inside.

Finally, one player might not work in one team but works elsewhere, you wouldn't say Salah is shit because he wasn't good at Chelsea. Arsenal would be retarded to do it, I agree, but not due to his quality or talent, but due to the price and them not needing a RW.

Stopped caring about football few years back. ls it worth getting back into this season?

>>149554055
City will be back to winning it all, but Liverpool might make it harder and nab a few trophies. So if you care about those two, sure. If not, no. Basically if you don't support Liverpool or City, you're basically going to watch to laugh at various other teams, like Spurs finishing 17th but winning the EL or United finishing 16th.

>>149554027
They kinda do need a RW though, don't they? If Saka gets injured again, what happens? I guess they have Nwaneri but I don't know how ready he is for the first team. I feel like I was seeing Sterlel a lot more than Nwaneri last season.

Most manchester/liverpool players live in rich areas of Cheshire or merseyside/greater Manchester, and they can get to london or anywhere they need in like 90-120 minutes. Newcastle is a lot longer, and its quicker to get to Glasgow or Edinburgh than it is London

Fabrizio said it was nonsense and nothing has changed. So this is just proof agents use bullshit to shill their players. Don't think Arsenal will sign a winger or a striker this window without selling more players.

Think we should have a whip round so Liverpool can buy some players and put the pressure on those clubs who keep trying to buy the league

It's been done for ages, the announcement is this week. Mbeumo hasn't even been agreed. Fraudizio confirmed Zubimendi couple of weeks ago showing him signing the contract for the press shit. Atletico wanted it delayed to June the 5th or some shit because of financial benefits for them to have the money coming in for this financial year or something, which was part of the agreement to do the release clause in instalments.

>>149556609
July, not June.

>>149556615
>>149556609
My mistake, he should be announced next week according to this guy since that's when pre-season starts.

>>149556679
Decent player in FM but there are much better potential guys to get. His advantage is he isn't particularly weak over all, just not exceptional in anything. Newcastle were linked to Scalvini and he is a GOAT FM lad. So they should pull the trigger on that if they can. I ended up with a CB partnership of Scalvini and Abakar Sylla since Colwil, Thiaw, Hincapié and Zabarnyi are too expensive. Diomande is also great in FM.

But Sylla and Colwill are my favourites because both can get really fast (Colwill easier) for a CB while also being good in the air.

>>149556882
>>149554367
Arsenal just don't have the money for it unless they sell. They still have Reiss Nelson on the books and Fabio Vieira who both can play RW. They either need to sell them or use one of them imo.

But who knows, everything they're doing is slow and retarded.

>>149557008
Except they're not signing Gyokeres, Eze or Rodrygo. I don't understand this gimmick several people on different flags have been posting this.

>>149557006
well no
nwaneri only got consistent game time when odegaard was injured (and there was literally nobody else for that position), when saka was injured he shared the spot with sterlel so not a lot of trust there.
he is quality though, no reason at all why he doesn't play more except for mikels stubbornness

>>149557048

>>149557107
he's actually really good but never plays on the left where he's best because of vinicius

>>149557106

The state of that.

>>149557023
I guess they technically do have second choices for both Saka and Odegaard then. They genuinely could start the season without buying a single attacking player lmao.

>>149557146
mon homme

>>149557146

>>149557106
Arsenal just don't have the money, it's just bullshit and spin.

>>149557107
He is a quality player but he isn't worth what he is demanding and what Madrid demand. Xabi doesn't want him yet is demanding £80m for him. He knows he isn't wanted but is demanding like £325k from Arsenal or some shit despite tax laws being better in here than Spain. He's on about £265k at Madrid. But the main issue is he is a LW who is forced to play RW because Vinincus Jr plays RW and Mbappe plays FW. So he can't do what he wants to do. If he joined Arsenal he would be on the LW.

But he won't because Madrid and he are being greedy. Same with Tchouameni. Xabi doesn't want him but wants a huge price for him.

idk i've never seen him dropping top class performances in successive games, it seems like the idea of rodrygo is better than the actual player, very similar to pogba

As I said, guy never consistently plays in the position he likes. Until he does that, can't really say much. But he isn't going to do because he ain't leaving Madrid unless they massively drop his price or he drops his wages. Which won't happen. Guy will just sit on the bench and be an impact sub. Also pretty sure Xabi played TAA as a winger a few games ago.

think that was more because he was fed up with him defensively

Fucking mong lmao

Or he's realised TAA isn't a defender and is a winger. Which most coaches would have realised after one game of seeing any half-competent winger go past him.

Anyone who watches him for 5 minutes can surely see he's not a defender

It's just baffling he was played there so much. He's like Zinchenko, not a defender. Glad Xabi realised he is a winger and bought him as one (Bellingham is also listed as a FW not a midfielder by Xabi). Yet England still played TAA as a defender and Bellingham as a midfielder. Had several games where Saka and Bowen were out, could have played TAA as a winger. Nope. Had friendlies and could have played Bellingham as a striker and Kane as a No.10. Nope. Baffling. It just adds to the issue Rodrygo has, since he will be behind TAA even on the RW.

think southgate played him as a winger a few times
