Where did you hear that ?Looks like Trent is staying home and will be fit/injury free for preseason.
I hope they do the same with Henderson, he has been out injured for quite a while and is probably still not completely fit to go

They got the fan forum thing on Friday. It'd be wise to go into it w/ Sancho already signed.
They've started up the commercials the last couple days.

You brehs with the Kante conspiracies 
Do you know much Africans love Kante? Muslims? Asians?
Have any of you guys gone on his IG page? You think it's just white people commenting on his shyt?
Or are you letting the fact that journalists (predominantly white in Europe) are praising him give you this impression
People love a unique character whether the arrogant Cantona, Zlatan types or quirky individuals. Kante is a unique character in that he's extremely reserved, shy, kind and a devout Muslim who drives a mini Cooper while being one of the best players in the world. Ppl want to see him win
Kante is not getting praised as a subtle attack on black masculinity and sexual prowess
FYI not sure if you have read any tabloids but they have no problems with writing about black players sexual exploits and "romps". I personally think boxing yourself into an aggressive sex symbol stereotype is not the wave

anybody else feel like Kane and Grealish wouldnt get Man City over the hump?
they had their chance the last two seasons and they flopped against Lyon/Chelsea. In theory Grealish and ane should make them unbeatable ...but i find it hard to believe they make the finals again.

Real, Liverpool, Bayern all had that elite goalscorer up front, whether a striker, wing, or attacking mid. Kane gives City that, ostensibly. Older Aguero, Sterling, and Jesus just wasn't it. This was their chance because their opponent in the final also lacked that elite scorer up front, and they blew it.
Honestly, if Lewa didn't miss the PSG tie due to injury, Bayern probably would have repeated. City getting that top striker makes them viable, but this year they dodged a healthy Bayern or Liverpool and a rebuilding Real and Barca and still didn't do it. It just feels like it's never going to happen. They feel a lot like PSG as far as CL goes.
It'll feel that way until they pull it off. I won't pick them until they've done it once already.
Weird because he's a humble, quiet dude? What type of nonsense is that?
Go watch baseball or wrestling if you want to idolise arrogant, loudmouth, roided up meatheads.
Here we go again with the "Kante = defensive" narrative.
His ability to not only transition the ball from a defensive phase of play into attacking one, and to support them in the final 3rd was crucial to Chelsea's CL campaign. Watch both games against Real Madrid for a prime example of this.
No it's not. That's one game. Watch kante last year. He's a bum.

don't understand brehs.which non-smiling "unique character" black player like roy keane, stevie G or party man pogbs do they "love".
every black footy breh that gets that sort of praise flashes those gums and keeps his arrogance in check. otherwise he wouldn't be loved.
ronaldinho, kante, yorke .. loved. also have the habit of skinning their teeth at every opportunity aka being "friendly".
rashford loved as "young and harmless" .. until now when he is getting more outspoken.
makelele, viera, sol campbell, ferdinand not loved .. just respected.
which "no nonsense" breh like cantona, keane, terry is "loved" by brits? which zlatan type? zlatan is like mayweather and we see how much mayweather's "unique personality" is loved
did you miss the cautionary tale of frank bruno? are you blind breh?
as a black football player, sportsman or professional even you cannot be "uppity" or you will not get those plaudits.
ask lennox lewis (the greatest UK boxer ever) or linford christie / daley thompson (greatest british athlete ever) or lewis hamilton (greatest driver ever) what happens if you don't make them feel comfortable
gruff rough-edged people like ian botham, nigel mansell or keane are loved .. glitzy crehs like beckham, george best, gascoigne are loved .. normal black men like lewis, hamilton and christie are only "respected" while subservient grinning, skinning brehs like frank bruno, dwight yorke and mo farah get that love in their place.
skinning and grinning, laughing and joking brehs is what they love ...
Can’t take 4 RBs but I thought his passing could be important. England will get pressed to death.
