100%. That homegrown rule is awful. All it's done is drive up the prices of English players, who then move to sit on the bench and make up quotas.
You don't half talk some absolute rubbish. This is a football discussion thread, its sole purpose is to discuss football which means giving our opinions. You're a Chelsea fan aren't you, did you never once look at Sarri last season and disagree with a decision he made? Football must be a bit boring if you just blindly watch it without forming an opinion at all.He sure did........
How many trophies has Pep won in his managerial career though?
And how many have you won?!!!

Extrapolate that and you’d never have an opinion on anything.
I’ve never acted. Can’t find an actor bad. Never directed a film - can’t find a film bad. Never built a car - can’t complain when my exhaust falls off.
Clearly fishing.

Exactly, I've never heard such rubbish. One wonders why he signed up to this golf forum, since he's not a professional golfer he can't possibly share an opinion on clubs, courses, tour players, etc.

Conspiracy theory:-
Rafa walks, he's had a big pay day from the company coming in, said company go back to Ashley with a reduced price to buy club, highly unlikely but I did say it was a conspiracy theory
or
New company coming in, didn't want Rafa as manager, they have their own manager in mind, Jose maybe, again very unlikely.
or
Ashley is just thick as two short planks, sees NUFC for what it is, a cash cow, that he can bleed dry sod all the consequences, while in the EPL, but is to stupid to sell the club while in the EPL and will force the club down the same road as Sunderland. Sadly the only way Ashley leaves NUFC is if NUFC joins SAFC in league 1
I know which option will be the reality, hope I'm wrong.

Sadly Khamelion I don't think Ashley cares who is manager so option 1 is out of the door. He will not reduce the fee for Rafa leaving, he will not blink
2 is a possible option, not the Jose bit but having their own option for manager. There is logic in that, why sign a manager on a contract when the new owners do not want him
3 is the more likely reality, sad to say.

As a toon fan, it very sad to say that I hope Newcastle sink without a trace, it's the only way that Ashley will leave, while the club is in the EPL and making money to line his pocket, while season ticket sales still occur, while he can still turn a profit, he'll stay.
I can see Almiron, Perez, Hayden, Lascelles, Dubravka, you name them, all looking to head out the door to pastures new and who could blame them?

Not Premier league related but according to reports Neymar has agreed terms with Barcelona. The deal is €100m plus Coutinho

Just had an email from Everton. Andre Gomes is officially an Everton player on a permanent deal. Nice start to the summer.

Good signing who seemed to fit in well on loan last season and clearly happy at the club. Has to be a win win. What are your expectations as an Everton fan for the new season

Yeah really happy with the signing, he was great last season. Perfect for the PL, works incredibly hard, superb on the ball, happy to battle for possession in midfield, creative going forward and formed a really solid partnership with Idrissa. As for the new season, depends on how well the transfer window goes really. We're in desperate need of a new CB if we can't get Zouma back, if we can't get him then we're 2 CBs down from last season and relying on Keane and the almost constantly injured Mina. Definitely need one or two more. Interested to see what Brands and Silva have planned this summer, think we'll be making some big moves.
Seems Spurs have agreed a fee for the incredibly talented Tanguy Ndombele from Lyon. He's exactly the sort of player they need, the much needed replacement for Moussa Dembele. Also reading rumours that Lo Celso is on his way there as well, would be two very good early signings for them.

Yeah, a lot of good talk about Ndombele deal being agreed. Until he signs for Liverpool tomorrow no doubt.
But 100% looks like the perfect Dembele replacement in the couple of games I saw him in. Hopefully he hits the ground running, alongside his countryman Sissoko who also settled quickly and was immediately brilliant as I recall. Not sure if we'll get Lo Celso as well given they're both midfielders, but we'll see. I think priority wise we need to be looking at a new right back, and another forward/wide option, since much as I like Lamela, he really doesn't offer enough year on year.
David Silva has announced this will be his last season at City. What a player he has been for them, a real class act. They seem to have a progression plan in place but he will still be missed.

Silva is a class act. Small but with the heart of a lion and velcro on his left foot. Was prone to the reverse hollywood pass at the start but has matured into the best creative midfielder in the league over the last 5-6 years.

Reports now that Wan-Bissaka to Man Utd is on the verge of completion. Good move for the lad actually, he'll start most games and it puts him in the England reckoning. Although, weirdly, for our strongest position in the side.
