Press Gossip - 2024

It's the Daily star and 3x 45k isn't 300k but I've seen so called fans on Twitter abusing Rashford it's pretty sad actually believing the media to that extent.
 
"Tottenham will have to give Juventus boss Massimiliano Allegri assurances of their spending power if they want him to replace Mauricio Pochettino."

Yep, we are champing at the bit to replace Pochettino with Allegri and will give him any and all assurances to make sure it happens.
 
"Aston Villa are already preparing to begin talks to buy loan stars Tammy Abraham, Tyrone Mings and Axel Tuanzebe if they are promoted."

Given the state of our defence I hope we don't sell.
