I didn’t think Mount fit LFC

I think he fits Utd even less

Never been happier to hear about a potential transfer between Manchester United & Chelsea

 

[Peen]

I wonder how much north of £70MM the fee gets

 

[hatterson]

I guess you’d play him beside Bruno in a 4-1-2-3 or something? I dunno. Don’t particularly like it.

 

[Chimaera]

I don't think they are sure what they are doing either.

Oh they’re sure.

I think Mount in the right system is a very good player. Not sure it’s United, but I think it could work. Won’t if they don’t fix striker though

I get the meme usually but the context here is that they lowballed Ugarte after offering higher and agreeing verbally.

It’s the inverse.

AKA the Arsenal?

That’s the Ian Ayre

 

[Chimaera]

It’s kinda still all rando journalists.

Part of why soccer transfers are ridiculous. Until someone is holding a scarf and on the team site it’s all silly

 

[Gecklund]

I think he takes the Eriksen role. I don’t think he fits but I think that’s the plan.

 

[Peen]

AKA the Arsenal?

We are at that point yes

 

[les Habs]

Neves to barca looks to be set...

Does it though? I’m not saying it won’t happen, but doesn’t seem like much has changed.

Yeah he doesn't really have great passing vision but his dribbling vision is off the charts good. He runs through players like they aren't even there (including against Bayern).

Kovacic plays defense too, and is 100% effort.
He is not - never has been and never will be - good at finishing plays, he just doesn't have the instincts when to run into empty pockets of space like a Pogba or someone... But if you need control from your own box to the opposition box, there's very few better.

Plus, in Pep's system, he should fit right in in place of Gundogan.
I think it's a win-win move for City AND for Kovacic.

TBH, if it was clear he was moving on, I don't know why Liverpool wasn't all over him as well, he'd fit Klopp's system (tbh, he'd fit any system, he's that good). PSG too. Not sure about Bayern, their midfield seems pretty well equipped for what they want to do.
He was lowkey carrying our NT with Gvardiol in the WC, with Modric 38 and Brozovic battling injury at the time.

I meant Manu Koné not Kovacic.

OOooohhh, sorry, misunderstood you.

 

[Blender]

Lowball offer.

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

I assume everyone will keep the same energy they had when he “was going to Saudi” now that he isn’t? Should be equally praised no?


Hope everyone isn’t fooled that he’s morally against signing there. He isn’t… he just would rather squeez another year or 2 in europe.

 

[Chimaera]

Benzema going to Saudi is a shame.

I don't blame a player for taking the money. But... he's still good enough to play in the CL. He won't be the last.

Is it confirmed he’s going there? I just saw he’s leaving.

[Tony Romo]

Yeah, it's pretty much confirmed he's going there.

Can't wait to see Perez replace Benzema with Firmino and Joselu.

Manchester United is coming in last minute. They are getting Benzema and Verratti. Going to be my old FIFA dream.

Madrid going to want an English friend for Jude. They are going in on Kane
