Congrats on the Morata transfer. Really wish he stayed at RM, but understand the move. I have a feeling he'll thrive at Chelsea and RM will soon regret letting him go.

My guess is we'll now take the $25 million for him because it's either that or get nothing. He'll walk on a free when his deal is up.

Diego is under contract for two more seasons. He needs to ask Malouda how this adolescent BS played out for him.

I appreciate Diego's contributions to two titles in his theee seasons here, but he can sit on the beach next season before we sell him. This isn't a Petr Cech situation, and the club doesn't owe him anything. If he has any ambition of playing in the World Cup, and he does, then he needs to get his **** together. I think Atletico comes to the table with a decent offer before the window closes.

Speaking of World Cup, it will be interesting to see if Morata starts over him for Spain. (and Batshuayi over Lukaku for Belgium).

It doesn't happen often, but good stuff from The Guardian.

Richer than Kyle Walker.

Do you think we can wrap up the Sandro and Danilo deals? With those two on board it will have been a stellar offseason

I thought Danilo was headed to City to back up Walker (which is ridiculous)?

Cahill-Captain
Azpi-Vice Captain

Smart decision. Rewind 5 years and I never would have though he's wear the band.

Alex Sandro bid from Juve?


We see you Conte.

Is it happening!!!!?!?!?!!!

MFGD!!!!!!

The head ref though...

Crappy result, but what a crazy own goal.

Holy cow.

That OG might end up being goal of the year.

That was the craziest own goal I have ever seen and I've watched a lot of soccer over the years.

Anyone got a link to it?

Look up Carl Jenkinson's og gtom about 5 years ago. His was a fluke though

Matic to ManUtd for ~40-50M looks like a done deal. Nice fee for a 29 year old midfielder, but wish he was going to Juve. He will play well for Utd, and I hate to root against a former player.

Definitely need to make a depth signing at CM now. Hope the Renato Sanches rumors are true. He had a rough time at Bayern last. year, but I still think that the kid will be a star - like Edgar Davids good.

I'm still hoping for a wingback or two as well. Wish we would've pounced on Andy Robertson before Liverpool.

On twitter, there's a discussion on whether CFC has improved over last year's squad. Some say it's been a good window. Others say the 4 we've signed aren't as good as the 4 we're losing (if you consider Costa and Matic gone).

We definitely have room and need for 3-4 more. Can't compete in all the leagues and cups with this small squad.

Matic to United official.

So rumors of Pulisic heading there?

If they can secure the 3 their after then it'll have been a good window. If not, the season might get long and they'll have to be buyers in january.
