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

If Madrid are desperate enough to pay £180m for Mbappe when he's only got 1 year left, PSG would be silly not to take that offer. They could use that money to get a LB and a better DM option other than Gueye. Icardi is limited as a CF but if he's got Neymar and Messi on either side of him, he'll more than do the job.

I could see clubs not wanting to release players for international duty becoming a trend now that the pandemic and quarantine rules have giving them a legitimate reason not to do so. It could really screw up WCQ for some teams

I know people laughed at Wenger for suggesting it but international football should really be condensed into a 6 week break instead of spread throughout the season. Especially now because of Covid.

This.

Just wait a season and get him for free surely? No reason to break the bank for him this season. They should just sign Ronaldo for 2 years and then get Mbappe next season for free

Real Madrid are Ric Flair in football form.

Solskjaer: “I thought Nemanja [Matic] was excellent, Anthony [Martial] was close to scoring a goal, Jadon [Sancho] and Donny [Van de Beek] will be important players for us.” #MUFC

Grouping Sancho with Van de Beek

It's looking shaky.

Is he good?

He’s solid. Good pace, dribbling ability, and he can finish. Not sure if he’d get much playing time at Chelsea though, he’d probably get loaned out for at least one year.

Sir Alex Ferguson, for as good as he was, cannot produce one good manager. Mark Hughes, Steve Bruce, Roy Keane, Phil Neville, Gary Neville, and Ole.

 

[TobiOT]

This guy is a goof.

How do people still support him?

I'm convinced he thinks McTominay is better than Donny.

Hughes was decent, Steve Bruce, honestly if he was slimmer and looked better, he would've gotten a chance with better clubs. He works pretty well with what he has.

Fukk Gary Neville tho, I hope the Family of Jose Antonio Reyes, put some kinda Gypsy Juju on him.

I was thinking about Reyes the other day when I saw a clip of his debut goal

Hope his son goes on to become a superstar (currently with Real Madrid youth teams). Would be such a great story.

Hughes and Bruce are pretty average at best, nothing more. I’m actually surprised Bruce still gets hired as much as he does, guess he knows the right people(mainly Fergie, lol)

I was kinda happy to see Gary flop after all the over the top criticisms he had for other managers. Dude got absolutely humbled 7-0 in first game vs Barca

I’m convinced he plays McTominay solely because Fergie likes his family.

Bruce does ok with crap, and he does have an eye for unknown talent. You need that when you manage relegation fodder

Of course he does. That's been Ole mo since becoming United's manager. Nepotism and good vibes. Expect Jones to start getting games soon
