Essential The Official Football (Soccer) Thread - We are SO back, the Premier League returns!

@Kunty McPhuck Tosin any decent?

I take him over Ty Mings.

He's served his apprenticeship needs to move to a higher level (2 years in the Championship and a PL relegation). Could do with a season under a anti football coach/next to a solid experienced leader for further defending development. But he plays the modern way and that's what teams want these days.

For the Milan dudes in here, can you guys realistically win against Atalanta ? Feels like you will end up as the fifth wheel

 

[Kunty McPhuck]

Richarlison is a good player needs to work on finishing and composure more. He's still a 1 in 3 goalscorer at Everton always hit double figures for the season.

tbh it all depends on what happens in the Coppa final vs Ladri on Wednesday. Depending on the result and if it goes to extra time Atalanta might be emotionally spent win or lose. Winning first trophy as a team (2nd ever Coppa first since 60's) vs losing when it really matters again cannot get over the hump in the big games.

Milan like most teams this season are better away from home. So there is a chance Milan can get a result playing on the counter and exploiting Atalanta weak defending. But if Atalanta are in the mood then it's going to be a long 90mins

After seeing Vardy winning the FA cup and Tripper possibly winning a league title. He's made his decison.

Levy ain't going down without a fight. 150 M for Kane and Man Utd will be the only team dumb enough to buy him....And with that, no Sancho, CDM and CB

He shouldn’t have signed that death row contract. Not sure who can afford him.

27 goals in their last 8 games

Barnsley and Brentford would be a refreshing addition to the Prem, probably will be relegation fodder though.

Would welcome back Swansea after 3 years.

Reality: AFC Bournemouth return along with Norwich and Watford. Back to square 1.

He’s lost a step and he’s too old to go through another rebuild.

United, PSG, or Chelsea should pull the trigger. Spurs shouldn’t feel bad, they came close. It’s in both their interest to move him on.

£80-100m + Martial. But would Martial want to go to Spurs and does his wage demands fit in with Levy's probably not. Martial finally gets the chance to be the outright main man as the #9.

Chelsea probably got the most attractive offer to entice Levy and with Tammy + money. Lower wages and younger. But with the previous history when it comes to transfers. Roman doesn't like doing business with Levy.

Only player Citeh could offer + money that would get Levy really interested is Sterling. Location perfect but Spurs is a big step down to where Sterling sees himself. Player use to winning.

Look man, folks talking about the football pyramid and the beauty of promotion and relegation but it’s a farce.

West Brom and Fulham will be back up next year. The parachute payments have fukked the league up and essentially made the Premier League 25 teams.

One thing we know is, West Brom will be back within 2 years.

Yeah, I know.

Norwich,Fulham and West Brom will keep coming back. Been doing this song and dance since 2002. Especially with West Brom & Norwich.

If Sunderland's board wasn't so incompetent, they would be back by now.
