He quite literally played against Ireland on his own for 95 minutes, Portugal were utter garbage as a team and had Ireland won the game they would have more than deserved it. I don't want to go over the tired old Messi v Ronaldo debate but for me last night is a clear example why Ronaldo is the bet...

Ridiculous isn't he. Beginning to think the money United are spending on his transfer and wages will look like a bargain in a few months time.

Would have preferred signing Troy Deeney to the midfield overload we now have. The lack of pace in the team remains a major concern. There's little natural width. Unless Pauno has a plan to plan to play with wingbacks and Drinkwater as a holding defensive midfielder. Deeny was never going to come h...

Thats what United (allegedly) did for De Gea and Real Madrid a few years ago, wasn't it?

I agree…it’s not good scouting, it smacks of desperation to me. Hoilett, Rahman & Halilovic I can understand…needed bodies in those positions. But we’ve focused on strengthening our strongest position on the field…where’s the sense in that?! We now have 7 central mids…Drinkwater, TDB, Laurent, ...

Shambles of a window, 25 midfielders 1 attacker :roll: We've somehow turned into retirement home reject fc :| Couldn't be less underwhelming to see scott dann and drinkwater if I tried.

Royal Rother Yes, but since Tuchel's been there....

Home games since Tuchel took over Chelsea.

Man Utd - P11, W6, D2, L3
Chelsea - P11, W6, D3, L2

Favourites? Not with Ole as manager. Clearly they've accidentally gone a PL record 28 games unbeaten away from home, in spite of their manager. How's the Home form been over that time? My point was that no matter who Man Utd have in their squad, until he wins something they will never be favourites...

another freelance journalist John Stephenson @JohnSteJourno Middlesbrough are planning to make a move for Reading FC’s Josh Laurent. Fee should be around 2.5m. #Boro #Readingfc That's a Reading fan who's changed his bio. Tweet from a few days ago John Stephenson @JohnSteJourno ·Aug 28 Just unlocked...

Would be gutted to lose Swift, but yeah we probably can't be turning down £4m if it is true.

CountryRoyal Isn’t he also on 75k pw?

He's currently on £0/week as he is without a club.

If (and it is a big IF), he has the desire still and stays fit, he is 100% one of the best strikers in the league. Would be exactly what we are after in a Joao replacement.

I thought Kuhl was the real deal. He always looked like he had time on the ball and seemed like a fine passer. He briefly broke into the first team but for whatever reasons it didn’t work out. Serious injuries didn’t help thereafter. Same, remember seeing him play in that U23 PL Cup winning side an...

Given the imminent arrival of Scott Dann plus the rumours that Drinkwater and Zeqiri may also be heading this way my guess is VP is safe for now but given the additions that have been made, if things are still dire at the end of September/early October then that's when things may change. Agree. You...

Yaks has posted a pic on twitter cycling in the gym...no strapping on knee I'm no medic but I'd have thought cycling would put quite a bit of stress on the knee after an ACL injury? Maybe back sooner than first reported?? Speaking as someone who has experienced this particularly injury I can catego...

Ampadu? But yeah would assume it’s Drinkwater or Baker, both of whom I’d take in a heartbeat.

URZZZZ

genome Sissoko goes to Watford

Decent signing that

Wasn’t ever quite good enough for Spurs barring one run in 2019 but he’s still a Prem level player
Spurs clearing a fair amount of deadwood, Harry Winks should be out soon, very limited player

Yep, good signing for Watford, sure he’ll do well there.

Winston Biscuit £13M basic transfer fee and £6m in add ons.

I know they’ll be playing him a shit tonne in wages, but that’s a steal.

Yeah, this is oxf*rd wild.
