Nik (@Rood) and Imran (@Annihilate Now!) discuss United's fantastic win away against Athletic Club in the semi-final of the Europa League.
They also pick out the positives of United's 4-3 loss away at Brentford, and Nik reviews a day out at Old Trafford watching Manchester United Women qualify for the Champions League.
They desperately need a DM.
Not sure there are any big names out there to get. They'll be options but they've fecked this up.
as much as I love to laugh at Liverpool, what Chelsea are doing is fecking ridiculous. They've invested, what, close to a billion in two and a half windows now? "Insane" doesn't even begin to cover it.
on the field remains to be seen, but yeah, it’s very dodgy off the field
They are also - reportedly - closing 45m deal for winger Olise and about 20m for a young Brazilian attacker
What’s Sangare like? Feel like he was talked about a lot on here before, could he be an option for them?
This feels greedy for the sake of being greedy. Wonderful talent, of course but we don't need him.
SNUBBERPOOL!
Yet another one to add to the list.

Klopper in the mud again
Yep 12 months
The club and squad is just unrecognisable. The fans must have lost all connection to its players because apart from a few they’re all brand new
It’s beyond ridiculous at this point
must be all those 8 year contracts
Worth it to wind up Liverpool fans though innit
He’s an idiot for going to Chelsea and Liverpool are idiots for not closing this transfer weeks ago.
They need a new word to describe what Chelsea have been doing in recent years
Boely playing real life football manager
It’s like Woodward has got another gig!
Are they over inflating fees so they can pay over a long period of time or something? they’re not even in the CL and have spent a billion in 12 months
Something doesn’t add up. Bizarre seeing these 8+ year contracts as well

Been playing FM for over 20 years and even I’ve never spent a billion in 12 months!
Chelsea actually put in a bid for Lavia for 50M last year. They have been chasing him for a while as Joe Shields is a huge admirer of Lavia.
Palhinha or Zubimendi I reckon.
If the alternative is McTominay...
Took Man Utd 17 years to spend a billion
I’m puzzled as to why Chelsea can continue to buy players. Not just the financials and FFP, but also that they can still attract players to their project. Objectively, I’d 100% go to Liverpool over Chelsea right now.
Only Sangare and Ndidi are CDMs
Lavia wouldn't exactly be struggling to pay his bills if he signed for Liverpool, and with the right approach would be set for life. But even if both clubs offered the same salary, it's very hard to turn down the 6/7/8 year contracts that Chelsea are offering.
That particular dopamine hit lasts for maybe a day, and then I'm back trying to figure out what we can do about the midfield logjam all of a sudden.
We have Santos, who is a brilliant talent and we just spent just over 25M on Ugochukwu as as well as Caicedo of course.
I really really hope this Chelsea money experiment implodes
I don’t fully understand personally, but this is as good as I’ve seen it explained.
Like I’ve said before, It’s not hard to attract players when your giving them 8/9 year contracts. They are set for life from a young age. Any serious injury any time soon and they are good for 9 years regardless.
Any top club can do what Chelsea are doing but not many want to take the risks involved in that strategy and understandably so.
How is Boehly allowed to own both Chelsea and Liverpool at the same time?
The hits just keep coming.
Somebody tell the dippers we can sell them McT for 40m. He can play in midfield la.
They’re set for life at Liverpool with a 4/5 year contract too?
How can Chelsea keep spending so much money? Almost 1 billion euro spend now in less than a year if Caicedo and Lavia join Chelsea.
People have been saying that for a couple of decades now.
I get why people want us to fail of course but it ain't happening.
How much longer will Klopp realistically stay at Liverpool for? That’s the question that’s got to be asked, without him they could well fall down to a 10th-5th place club again.
A 19 year old will be looking at Liverpool thinking they’re coming to the end of their period soon, whereas Chelsea look to be at the start of this new era.
Not that it is guaranteed and Chelsea could implode hilariously but they’re seriously investing.
Something seriously dodgy about Chelsea. Even more so than the oil money. If all this outlay is dependent on on-field success then it's very much like Barca with their levers.
Trouble is, I don't see how you just buy a shit load of players and expect it to work. Therefore in a couple of years they will be absolutely fecked.
