Champs League draw is so tedious. They need to dump the screw-thread footballs that Yaya Toure is struggling to undo and use a ball that's two halves connect by a simple bayonet fitting.

Some grey bloke in a grey suit has just said the draw is now getting exciting...the audience look anything but riveted!!!!
Didn't see it, but mates were talking about it in whatsapp. First thing they said was that they were making an absolute meal out of it
 
Having Callum Wilson in my Fantasy team, I was waiting for him to get injured and it's happened already. Bad timing from him with Isak about to arrive, but hey it's always the same with Wilson. Shame really because when fit he's arguably the next best English forward to sub in for Kane.

My mate is upset as he has him in his DRAFT team. He has put in a bid for Martial, whi is available. However, as he is top of the DRAFT league, I reckon Martial will have been snapped up by someone else before he gets him.

he'll know by now draft transactions were half hour ago :) forwards are so hard in the Draft!!!! (desperately need one next week and hoping a few decent tfrs happen by then, Isak etc)

He actually got him. I wanted to replace Maguire with Perisic and thought I'd have a good chance. Sadly, the bottom manager also had him as 1st choice. So, I have Varane instead.

Happy enough with my strikers of Haaland, Bamford and Vardy. Except that Bamford is sicknote and Leicester are rubbish, and I'm wondering if Vardy has another decent season in him.

Have Bernardo Silva as well, but this whole "will he, won't he" saga with Barcelona is stressing me out (from a Fantasy Football point of view, but as a Utd fan I'd be quite happy to see him go).

I have Havertz Richarlison and Wellbeck - you can see my need for a striker!!!!! did have Bamford but binned him already lol

That was my dilemma. It is OK in normal fantasy football, but getting rid of a decent player in the draft means you risk losing them for good. Googling Bamford keeps hinting he could be available for the next game, so I hold out hope that will be the case
 
Well we’ve signed a striker but is Neal Maupay any good? ?‍♀️ Stats suggest he may be as good as Richarlison but able to play more centrally, on paper that sounds promising.

Green shoots? Or just another weed?

If he could be trusted to reliably put the ball in the net Brighton wouldn't have sold him.

As it is, Welbeck is the main man. Having spent a lot of time at the Amex the last 5/6 years, I think he could work well playing off Calvert Lewin, but as a replacement/option I'm not convinced he'll get anywhere near the goals you need. Which is good.

Decent player but not a goalscorer by any stretch. Good at winding people up.
 
Strange off season for us.


Serious investment going on,

Areola brought in full time 11 million
Downes 11 million
Aguard 30 million
Scamacca 36 million
Emerson 15 million
Cornet 17 million
Kehreri 10 million


Suppose to be completing on that paquata for 50 million plus this weekend

Strong rumours of 2-3 more to come in aswell..

Haven't touched the loan market yet so two bound to be loans

Would love to get Paquata in but often we stumble at the "Personal terms" part of the negotiations.

As you say, some serious investment however Sully won't be happy when he realises he's spent £120 Mill on strengthening the bench!

David Moyes sends message to West Ham’s summer signings after Brighton defeat - football.london

How to get the newbies fired up. Put them down before they've even started. Way to go Moysie :LOL:

Have to look further than the Dave's. The new guy Owns 27% which will trigger a take over..next year they can sell for no penalties so he seems to be investing in his new product
