Transfers, 2024-25 season

[wykikitoon 22912]

He would be a good fit for Man Utd.  Sly dirty cunt.

[PaddockLad 19022]

No guarantee of a trophy at Man Utd? 🤷🏻‍♂️

[Alex 36730]

Like AH says you’d think the Man City chance has gone. Man Utd or abroad I reckon.

So - Manu? 

[Dr Gloom 23643]

if i were him i'd go to real or bayern. they'd both probably take him for a couple of seasons. he could still come back to the PL in his early/mid 30s with a good chance of breaking the record. surely trophies are more important 

[The Fish 11323]

If I was him I'd go to Manchester United. Break the record, win trophies, could be around the home fans without needing to move house. 

 

Would have to learnt he language though.

They've got to two finals this season, so lets not dick swing too much.  They will have a serious clear out at the end of the season, but still think it will take a few more windows yet before they're really a solid solid side.

we'll be waving at them in the rear view mirror next season

Enormous pendulums are gonna swing, I'm afraid. Nothing we can do about it now.

You, sir, are fucking enigma. 

 

Manchester United are one of the biggest, richest clubs on the planet, they've got a decent manager and a plethora of talent. No, there's no guarantees in football, but they're more likely to win a trophy next season than most of the League.

Youre probably right but the point to me  is Bayern are a better bet to win their league title next season..

[Ayatollah Hermione 14687]

If Kane can prop that fucking shite Spurs team to fifth, he can be a difference maker for Man United. You’re looking at an extra 20 goals a season minimum, on top of what Rashford can give you from the left

If I were Kane, at the back end of a career, I’d go to a club with the best chance of winning a trophy. Man U just went 5 years without silverware. The Man City ship has sailed. Real presumably are going to want to replace Benzema at some point. Bayern lack a number 9. Both would give Kane a better chance of winning major honours. Depends on how much beating Shearer’s record means to him, I suppose.

If they signed Harry Kane, they wouldn't go another 5 season without a trophy, that's for fucking sure.

He's 29.  Sheringham went there at 32(ish) and albeit in a miles better side won bag loads of trophies.

If we are going to be replacing a team in the 'Top 6', it's gonna be Spurs, not Man Utd

Who gives a flying fuck about the Bundesliga though. I doubt Germans even care about it that much anymore given it may as well be renamed the Bayern cup. You could perhaps argue we're getting to the same stage with Man City, but at least it's still somewhat competitive, and when Pep leaves there'll likely be a changing of the guard, hopefully to us.

Not to mention France's WC winning captain. Though I suppose he was in no position to criticise anyone.

I love how during the WC all the discussion around Lloris was how laughable the coverage he gets here is, and how amazing he is, but then he puts in performances like that for Spurs . 
 

In terms of Kane I think it’ll be Manchester United, he won’t leave the PL as he’s clearly wanting the record and I don’t really think Bayern are the sort to pay that kind of fee for a player whereas Manchester United absolutely are the type of club to pay it. He will add to their list of quality players in a disjointed team so he will win them games and Ten Hag will get praise despite doing absolutely nothing different to the prior managers who also failed to make any type of cohesive side.

There's only one club he'd go to now, the club that would pay the cash and need him the most, Man United. They have a history of getting top strikers from other 'top' English clubs and this falls into that bracket. You'd hope that although he will undoubtedly make them better it might be a case of the rest of their squad suffering from the reduced money available to strengthen if they pay top dollar for Kane. Top heavy up front, weaker elsewhere especially if injuries kick in and the amazing coach ETH plays him to death when they're in the latter stages of all comps.

That fucking bell end Phil McNulty had nauseating, sycophantic bollocks-riddled piece on the BBC website about what a good job ETH had done. It must’ve been up on there within about 30 seconds of the penalty shootout ending v Brighton. Not a fucking bit of insight in it. He justified it by stating the obvious, ie they’d won the league cup and were now in the fa cup final. I’d love Man City to give them an absolute hiding

In all fairness they did win a cup this season. Like.

Love it for them to buy him for 100m, pay him 300k per week and then he is injured on the first weekend (nothing too serious of course - don't hate the bloke), only getting back in time for the Euros.

Interesting Hope saying that Newcastle have plans on picking up one player from a relegated team. Ward-Prowse? Maddison?

 

Looking at the league table there and the final relegation spot is one from Leicester, Leeds or Forest (Everton are sunk, as you know). I'd probably pick Leicester to go just for the Maddison opportunity.

[Gemmill 49989]

I think Leicester will get out of the mess though.

Lavia from Southampton, I’d guess
