Futbol Pre-Season Prem Thread - 2. Edizione: Summer Mercato

Used to be you felt all players wanted to go to Barca(or Real).

Wonder if that’s still the case.

Bergvall mugged Barca off for Spurs, so we stole him for £8.5m. We promptly rewarded him with a hard fought draw on a cool damp Monday evening in Lester.

Was a bit Spursy, eh.

Managed to look great and shite in the same game!

Taking the fight out of me innit. Hardly have the strength to lash out at the Spursy comments anymore.

Ex and @Possum Jenkins feel we need experienced starters in the side and I would tend to agree (Eze), but I'm not honestly sure seasoned pro's can run AngeBall. Seems to go against everything they've been taught. Genuinely think we look better with the kids out there (in preseason anyway), bed them into the system so it's second nature, plus they run all over the park without tiring. Fuck it if they make a few mistakes.

Bergvall, Gray, Mikey Moore, Wilson, lets have it.

How did Holstein Kiel do?

3:2 win in the DFB Pokal 1st round. First matchday at Hoffenheim on Sat

Banter aside, you just need to not have a really shit season, imo.

See where you are in year 3 and year 4.

Yeah, that could work but it won't win you anything this season or probably next. It'd be a long-term project.

But by that point you need to replace Son, maybe Madders, Betancur, a couple others. It's a whack-a-mole situation unless you're uber rich and can spend endlessly.

Curse of the balanced books innit.

 

[Possum Jenkins]

Speaking of Georgians, I wonder why Khravatzkelia (or whatever) is still at Napoli. A couple of years ago, it seemed him and Osimhen were gonna net Napoli a quarter of a billion $$, but so far nothing.

Same with Rafael Leao.

Even Loltaro Martinez.

 

[BroRogan]

@Possum Jenkins Good point. And I'm also surprised these 2 guys are still at Napoli

Speaking of Serie A @Jonathan Utah @Carl Drogo Inter with a draw aswell mood neutral

Is that good or bad?

Apparently they are in for Sancho, too.

Seems incomprehensible.

I dunno, it's just crazy to me. It doesn't make any sense

The fact they're still buying is absolutely nuts too.

Would you take Sterling at Toon?

Kinda mental career that boy has had.

Easy to forget 2-3 years ago he was putting up mental numbers.

Nah, not for me. A few years ago, definitely.

He's on 325K a week too so it would never happen.

What’s he gonna do, though?

Think the “we’ll fuck him off to Saudi” thing is dead.

Always disliked him, but guy gets a little underrated in my opinion.

Obviously the City factor is at play, but his stats must be ATG esque.

[Arqueto]

Can't see Palace selling Guehi now, as there is no way they sell both of their starting CB's

All they can do is loan him out, pay most of his wages and and see out the remainder of his contract.

He was good at City but he still needed a lot of chances to score. I can't see anyone taking him on unless Chelsea pays his wages.

@Carl Drogo @Arqueto @Possum Jenkins @BAM

Did you win fantasy league?

 

[Arqueto]

@Carl Drogo @Arqueto @Possum Jenkins @BAM

One game in and Spurs have already given up FFS

They looked decent in the first half but then dropped off in the second. It's normal and happens to everyone they will still be in the mix for Europe.
