'Even allowing for inflation, this thread is not worth 198 Terry Francises' - EPL 2017-18

West Ham look good in that clip.

But then they are playing Preston.

I enjoyed "Rhodes to nowhere" btw

lol, Green to Chelsea seems a bit eccentric, seeing as he couldn't get a start with us last season, thank fuck!

Everton have resigned Kevin Richardson for £50m.

Given the pace-free, width-free, predictable mess that was Everton last season that Richarlison deal makes a lot of sense. He was excellent for Watford until Silva left, although if it doesn't work out with him then they'll be sacking off a manager and writing off a £30m+ signing at the same time.

i was reading they are having trouble moving Klaassen on, because nobody will pay his ridic 100k a week wages.

can i propose we start this season's thread on 1 August and start canvassing for titles now?

João will liverpool not win the premier league 2018/9

Well it's only uphill from that.

loris karius will not remember the premier league 2018/9

fp

shaqiri will never beat shi wolves

liverpool will definitely win the premier league there I said it 2018/19

mou's sarri now?

maybe a wenger memorial title hmm

hughes afraid of big batth's wolves

surely the time is right for 'man united won't win the premier league 2018/2019' since they're basically liverpool now

Liverpool will finish 2nd in the Premier League 2018/19

Quite likely to be true.

more like 3rd/4th

I support 'Liverpool' being in the 2018-19 thread title, in memory of Robin Carmody's historic prediction that they would win it in 2001.

"Manchester City will win the Premier League 2018-9. Liverpool."

"Liverpool are in the Premier League Thread Title 2018-19. Carmody"

"Premier League 2018-9 - has been shit for years"

"Spurs Chat 2018-19"

"EPL is still a big league!"

Mo Salah is not powerful enough to make Loris Karius stay strong.

virgil in a wilderness of milners

I see the Chelsea logic in signing Green is to make homegrown quotas, and when a fairly shite young keeper has just gone for £12m in the current british market - it makes sense getting an old, possibly slightly less useless freebie.

virgil in a wilderness of milners

I approve of this.

looks like Adama Traoré's on his way to the Wolves, our first team is gonna be pretty young

according to rumours we are interested as well, but there's no way well splurge 18m on one player, even he looks bang tidy. Perhaps this will open the door for another Cavaleiro bid from us.

i saw those rumours but this looks like breaking news in the last hour or so, we've apparently offered his full buy-out clause and wage demands

it does raise more question marks over Cav i think. lot of Wolves fans will moan like fuck if he goes - as they're already doing over Barry Douglas's reported departure for Leeds - but this time last year i remember concluding with my brother that he wasn't necessarily top flight class. he's just had a great season, and i'd like him to start in the Prem with us, but it absolutely wouldn't surprise me if we sell. i think that might depend on whether we're going to bring in an orthodox number 9. cos again, a portion of the fans are obsessed with that shit but i'm looking at Jimenez or Bonatini in that false 9 role and two from Jota, Cav, Costa, Traoré running at the box/exploiting the space and i'm pretty happy with that as is right now.

championship chat 2018-9

can't wait to play youse

youve had to tho hant u

that time k doyle beat us the day of the twelve pubs, a real low

yeah we had a reasonable record against Spurs under McCarthy so christ knows what happens now tbh

did you ever rustle up the second captains players chair with mick it is v good

no i'll have a Google. a terrible manager tho, a really woeful manager.

like, i'm not paying to hear that, and i usually enjoy listening to the guy speak.

maybe he's the ultimate theorist/practitioner of pragmatic budget football idk we signed lads and they never got 5 starts the whole time they were there

great now my PTSD's flaring up

have to visualize big George's header against Man U for 10 minutes until i'm breathing right

Rolling Fellaini Discussion Thread 2018/19

we've just beaten a very impressive looking Lyon side 3-1. They put 4 past Fulham last week and definitely weren't treating the game like a piss-about. They carved us up good in the first 10 minutes but Memphis Depay literally can't even finish on target into an empty net! Anyway we are going fucking do some damage this season, and Diakhaby looks like a quality signing.

0-0 at Stoke lol

GOING UP!
