He's not 29 is he ??!!?!??!!
He was nicknamed the BBC after teammates first caught sight of him in the showerWho is he and when are we signing him.
Agreed. Thanks for that, was doing my head in trying to recollect without checking the net.
Speedy attackers, everyone has them nowadays.
We need a more well rounded defender rather than a specialist (in that sens Alderweireld fits the mould) or a beast (Godin, Bonucci, Varane... which are ungettable).
Looks like the club have taken a blast from the past. Lowball offers that are unlikely to get accepted then say that there is no value in the market.
Doesn't really matter who we are in for. Young defenders like Maguire or Skriniar or experienced defenders like Alderweireld or Bonucci.
So basically we have signed one starter and the owners and board expect him to change our fortunes?
Bound to be.
First bad result and Jose has his excuse ready. You wonder if he will start to lose interest?
It's not as if we are being outbid or anything. We are falling at negotiating for players that we have a free run at. We are happy with paying over the odds when other clubs are interested (Sanchez, Fred, Pogba, Lukaku) but don't want to pay the asking price when we are the only contenders.
The cynic in me would argue that the owners only want us to finish top 4 as their top priority.
Agree fully.
Well let's see what happens if we either just scrape Top 4, or don't get it, are still playing abysmal football and they wonder why people are not quite as keen to come and watch us when we go on another of these long winded pre-season tours?
Wolves, Fulham and West Ham going crazy this summer!
How in the world is that kepa worth 71 million.... I've never even heard of the fecker.
Right wing? The BBC?!
you havent been paying attention have you
I’d say Manchester is the most left wing city in the England. Labour hold 94 council seats and the Lib Dem’s the other two. It is where the worlds first known trade union started, where the women’s sufferage movement started, where the worlds first known vegetarian movement started, where the (Manchester) Guardian newspaper started (now the world‘s most read liberal news website) and where Karl Marx and Peter Engels wrote the Communist Manifesto.
He probably isn't worth it and when Bilbao got him to sign the contract they likely didn't think anyone would pay that much. He is good and as long as he doesn't have a bad start, he should get even better.
Max for four letters should be 40 million like Mane. Five letters is where you start to get into the big bucks. Pogba, Messi etc.Is it better if it's on 5 or 6 characters, like 5 letters and a space or what?
And I love this about this city.
Bale's not worth half the fee Madrid paid him then.

What an awful footballer Chambers is, I don't even think Arsenal want him and they've just signed him back up for four years.
That's why we just extend his contract some weeks ago.
He needs to play at the age of 23 and was "only" Nr.3 at Arsenal.
For him it's the best to play a whole PL season than only in the EL + cups. For Arsenal it's a risk surely, only Holding and Mavropanos as Back-Ups until Koscielny returns.
If we’re going to be signing anyone they’ll surely be tweets at 10.30pm with some sort of update.
Yeah exactly, it'll be the usual 5pm EST, 10pm BST releases from the morning's papers.
I <3 Manchester
Outside of the wingbacks, there’s nowhere you could point to as must-have upgrades. Ownership has opened the checkbook, but years of shitty transactions cannot be overcome in two windows.
Didn't know that, thanks.
Makes sense when you put it that way.What are the right wing towns or cities or parts of the country?
The whole of Kent seems to be.
I also think the rougher areas of Berkshire like Slough (lived there, awful place).
Anybody else get the feeling come the last hour of the transfer window we will be hearing how we are making a last minute dash for a player or two....and failing to get it over the line?
Why? Deadline is Friday right? Only Wednesday tomorrow
Thursday 5 pm or something-
thought it was Thursday?
Come on son, get with it.
It's Thursday 5pm! We're into the last 42 hours now!
I wonder if those chaps who were getting lippy at frustrated people and saying there was plenty of time are feeling quite so smug now!
It's Thursday at 5pm.
I think a lot of the smaller towns and villages and a lot of down south are more right wing. London is basically 50/50 from my understanding.
