No point having rice, phillips, kovacic and rodri. Not many goals between them.


Rice can score. Not saying I believe everything the press say about who has offered what, but I think the idea is he plays further forward for us, bit like Gundogan in fact.


I think Rice would give us the option of pushing Rodders further forward instead. Not convinced that there is anyone as good as Rodders in the position he plays for us mind

I agree. I said yesterday Rodri further forward would be a good option. That late winner at Arsenal and the goals against Villa (last day of the season) and Inter are proof he can score when he gets forward.

If he knuckles down hopefully he comes good.


You're right there, everyone was more or less unanimous that he would never be half the player Fern was. And at the time you couldn't see how Rodri would work. The complaints about Rodri were pretty much the same as what we're saying about Phillip's, slow and can't pass effectively.
Hopefully history repeats.

Rodri would still be DM

Rice would have a role more akin to Bernardo and Gundogan, in an attacking sense

Could the Premier League be facing a rival in Saudi. Bernado linked. Is this a Super League starting?

The ESL needs a financial backer.

Saudi money is the same colour as anyone else's so it isn't a stretch to think they will bankroll it

It's shenanigans. Fair few dodgy FFP bypassing moves etc. but the actual Saudi League will be about as successful as the Chinese League.

Doesnt mean Saudi can't buy the PL itself though, subject to its ownership structure, or buy whatever UEFA/FIFA is willing to sell (everything and anything). Expect a Saudi world cup, Saudi Super Cup final, Saudi hosting/winning a world club cup... when Pep packs up a Saudi Newcastle will probably win the league, too (not with Howe).
All we are saying is give Doug a pass.

I doubt it i really do, the chinese and japanese attempted it and got nowhere.

I seriously doubt there would be much of atmosphere in stadiums, so the games would come across as flat on the TV

I read a while ago, that he is staying.

I suppose if they keep guessing eventually some of them will be right.

Yep you're right SB, it's crazy season and this year i hate the amount of players being linked with moves away.

But maybe that's just me, i left school 41 years ago and only had to jobs iin that time, i had more jobs as a kid!!!

So naturally I'm hoping Kyle stops with us.

Same swap for Walker ?

Kovacic, Rice, Gvardiol, and wait for it Leroy Sane
These are the 4 summer signings my pals think are on the cards.

Rumours that Pep had a phone call with Sanè recently. We know his Mrs still spends half her time in Manchester and half in Munich and dislikes it there. He played well against us first leg in the CL. Wouldn’t be shocked if it happened, but at the same time I don’t think it will.

Looks like Edin Dzeko's off to Fenerbahce after his contract at Inter expired. I assume that'll be the final move of his career, unless his contract is 'cancelled by mutual consent' after a couple of months, like those of most players who head off out there.
