And that cunt in charge there has the gall to criticise us. Hope Dortmund win the Bundesliga

Uli will just bump up the price of his HoWe Nurnburgerli by 50 cents or wurst.

btw , isn't the transfer season closed until june ?

Assume it’s just been agreed with it actually happening on July1st or whenever the window opens

Does that mean alabamis available?

Took me a while to work out who alabamis is.

I believe they're bringing Hernandez in as a centre back.

He'll stay and they'll likely play 3 at the back with Alaba and Kimmich at wingbacks and Lucas, Sule, and Pavard as CBs.

Anyone fancy us going after Sessegnon? No way he goes back down to the Championship and Fulham need to sell to make up some cash. Ive not watched much of Fulham but he's always being hyped up.

Apparently we're in for 22 year old Rodri from Athletico Madrid. Anyone seen him play or have more info that you can't get from watching a youtube?

What more is there to know?

Remember this name Reece James .
Unbelievable midfield talent just 19 years old built like a brick shit house plays for Wigan Athletic . Getting rave reviews and reports the bin dippers and rags are in for him . So like Nige de Jong this kid and possibly a ready made replacement for Fernandinho ? . Absolute class this kid you heard it here first !

If he’s that good I’d say Chelsea will be holding on to him.

He's a Chelsea product, doubt he's going anywhere, least of all to us! Haha

Is a young NDJ what pep wants though?

No it's not. NDJ doesnt fit Pep's system nor does a player like Kante. He doesn't want/need a traditional holding midfielder.

I think Pep has it sorted. We need craftsman, not workman.

Let’s get this right . Reece James was a defender at Chelsea,s incredible youth academy and went on loan to Wigan Athletic as a defender . He did ok as a defender for Latics but was given an opportunity to play in midfield. The lad has been incredible in this position and has been voted best in position in the championship. He could easily play Fernandinho,s role or a Nige de Jong role , Pep coaching this lad would be something. Huge engine and strong as fuck unbelievable talent ! How the fuck he is at Wigan god knows but all the big boys are now taking notice .

I can see Pep throwing a curveball with Fernandinho’s replacement. A change in formation whereby we don’t have a DM is not beyond the realm of possibility. Maybe 3 at the back.
I could also see KDB dropping back to be a deep lying playmaker in the Pirlo mold, almost as an old fashioned sweeper like Beckenbauer used to be. He can also put his foot in to break up play if need be. We have so much possession that tinkering like this might then free up a slot in the side for another forward player.

A 19 year old Reece James inspired Wigan Athletic hold top of the league Norwich City to a 1-1 draw last week now the kid MOM performance win away at Leeds United despite being down to 10 men after just 10 minutes . This kid is an unbelievable midfield talent you heard it hear first !

I see there’s newspaper talk of Danilo being sold which wouldn’t surprise me. If so Wan Bissoko of Crystal Palace must be a good shout to replace him. Would really produce stiff competition for Walker who needs it.
