The Footie Thread

[Voyager EMH]

Isn't he on something like £300k a week? Utd are going to have to help out on that front if they want to sell him, or accept a hit on the transfer. Not sure I can see a huge profit coming their way regarding him, unless there is another club as bad as utd out there at buying

I read that it is £325,000 a week until 2028.
No one is going to match that in order for the man himself to be tempted away. He might choose to stay and keep taking the pay unless Man U give him a huge wedge to leave.
He is a big loss already as he is under-used and under-performing. Can't see why Man U would choose to increase that loss with a big cash loss when there is still a chance that he could yet be useful again sometime in the next 3 to 4 years.
He is the same age now as when Vardy made his Premiership debut - and that was as a second half sub.

Well that went well

Well played from spurs, our defence has looked pretty woeful all season and finally got found out today by some great football.

Even still, in Unai we trust, up the Villa!!

 

[Arthur Wedge]

Spurs scored 4 very good goals - the ball in for the equaliser was stunning

The keeper would then be too distracted trying to push him out of the way. He should concentrate on the ball and not get involved with the pushing and shoving

Well it’s his job to keep the striker away from the keeper.

I think he only just signed for Sporting last year, and had a £100 million release clause. 26 years old, and before that played for Coventry.

His numbers at Sporting are fantastic, but is £100 million worth the risk, or a mistake than people will use like they did against ETH, signing ex players?

We had him ready to sign when he left Coventry and our chief executive went on holiday, the original banter club.

That's a good point about the ex players thing, but I think this guy is the real deal, his next move is going to be a big one.

He is a quality finisher but they have spent over £100mil on Hojlund and Zirkee so can’t see them spending another £100mil on him

Hojlund has the potential


Watching this game feels like a battle of the fallen giants

Superb 2-0 win for Newcastle Ladies this afternoon away at Championship leaders Birmingham City.

A good weekend for the Toon!

Blimey this is a hard watch - not much quality on show

I'm sure you'll manage to stay tuned though

I can't believe how anti-United Gary Neville seems to be.

To be fair, some of the Chelsea interplay in the first half was very slick. All came to nothing when they get to the edge of the area though.

Utd.........yeah, nothing there

 

[Swango1980]

I can't believe how anti-United Gary Neville seems to be.

It's almost like he is desperate to not appear to be biased towards United at times.

Although, if he wants to he hyper critical of Garnacho's shot just there, I won't hold it against him.

Neville ?!

Must be Phil Neville

Some of the play was good but just powder puff


And what is Rashford complaining about


And that looks a clear penalty - not sure why he went for it

 

[Slime]

Definitely caught Rasmus ................................. but Rasmus still dived.

How he didn't put his back out...

It was a good back arch that’s for sure , judges scores will be high

Well if a keeper claims it’s not a pen if he gets a touch on the ball.
Then it’s a pen if he dosnt.

Poor from the keeper but 5.0 for the dive.

 

[Slime]

How he didn't put his back out...

I think that they think they have to dive to bring it to the ref's attention.
I'd give the penalty and then book both players.
