Seeing as we are signing all of these kids, where have we been on this one? Usually you can tell just from seeing a player a few times if they are going straight to the top, I would be shocked if he doesn't end up being one of those players. I don't know if this is accurate, but apparently he has a clause in his contract and can leave for as little as £20m. It's looking like he is going to end up playing for one of Real Madrid or Barcelona though.

Bit like Endrick mate we sign top young talents as long as the likes of Barca and Real are not serious about them.

that's what i was wondering as well. We are dropping 25 million on a "random" Brazilian, why not go for this kid? I think if you offer Fenerbahçe a decent amount of money and you let them loan him back for a year they would probably take it.

These aren't random Brazilian kids though. These are 17-19 year old's who have been playing against men, and performing very well, in a physical and demanding league. It's no mystery as to why South American players have little to no issue adapting to the Premier League.

i mean relatively, that turkish kid is relatively well known in comparison

Santos, Paez, and Angelo were all scouted by Barcelona/Real Madrid too. 

We can't get them all, especially if it means stockpiling. 

 

 

This is one of the secret of Arsenal success last year. 

 

 

Not exactly rivals, But how do you all think Burnley will do. Will they stay up ?. I reckon they will. Interested because I am based in the North West. Some of my friends support them.

Didn't expect them to bounce back so soon. They already look better than they ever did under Dyche.

The most incredible thing about Arda Guler is that he has Michy Batshuayi seeming like a proper striker!

Can't help but think he has made an Odegaard-sized mistake in choosing Real Madrid though. Camavinga is just 3 years older yet has proven his worth to Madrid despite competing with Kroos/Modric, and on the wings Vinicius, Rodrygo and even Endrick are just a different class altogether.

Pretty ironic that Henderson, a big LGBQT advocate, has completely thrown away his morals in favor of a move to Saudi Arabia.

It is difficult to say. For teams who come from championship it is all about player investment (money) and can you adapt your game when you have less talent. 

Comical own goal from Jorginho today in Arsenal's opening pre-season fixture. Havertz very anonymous by all accounts as well LOL.

Yep and if questioned on it he’ll do a Gary Neville and claim he’s there to “challenge it” etc etc 🤦‍♂️

Benjamin Mendy got off I see. 

If the acusation was false that's pretty gross, and if it wasn't and there simply wasn't enough evidence (as is often the case in SA cases) then that's pretty gross too. 

A lot of famous men get falsely accused or trapped, but he didn't make it easy for himself by living like Charlie Sheen. The statements made by his maid were incredible, and the stuff going on behind closed doors would make Caligula blush. 

 

Wonder where he goes from here.

I read they offered him 700k£ a week

they are absolutely insane 

Clearly Saudi Arabia has never heard the expression “you can’t polish a turd” 

although Gerrard is a perfect fit for that lot over there

Very few famous men get accused let alone falsely accused.

In comparison to the amount of sexual assaults that go unreported, and those that never make charge let alone conviction, the proportion is miniscule to the point of being absurd.

 

Honestly feel United flop hard this season. Maybe 7th place finish.

If it weren't for the fact United are still stuck in the 80s when it comes to how much time they give managers I'd have put a sneaky few quid on Ten Hag getting sacked next season.

Can see them and Arsenal having a poor season, can see Tottenham having a better season than most think they will, I think they might surprise people, Liverpool look like they'll improve, City are City. 

But I'm really really not sure on our chances, need to see some more activity from us in the market. 

Had to laugh at the guy  turning up to the Spurs presser wearing a Bayern Munich shirt with KANE 9 on the back ! Their manager got the right needle

Looking like Harry Kane will not be 'Tottenham until he dies', Levy being told (who by?) that if Kane will not sign a contract he must be sold and not allowed to go on a free.

I suspect hidden Spurs investors at work.

 

Harvey Barnes to Newcastle a done deal.

Must make the barcodes stronger.
