It's a better move for him to be fair and at least they get a reasonable pay off. He'd be battling relegation at Sunderland next season, you can't blame him for taking the German option.

No, can’t blame him at all. Just a shame to be losing someone who had the quality to help us stay up.

Rumours are that Henderson may be coming back, so it’s possibly a step up to have englands starting central
Midfielder in the team

That would be a sensible signing - getting a home boy back and with so much experience

 

[Pin-seeker]

Sunderland not able to hold onto Bellingham, looks like he’s off to Dortmund for £30m

15% sell on clause as well.

Haven’t really seen much of him tbh.
His surname probably added a few £ onto the fee

 

[clubchamp98]

I would be obliged if someone can explain how he’s not interfering there for Spains first goal.

 

[Bazz]

Neves and Semedo coming on together, just like old times

 

[Slime]

You can't keep a 40yr old goat out of it!

Looking at United this season, Hojland should never have been bought as a number one striker but he was so there you go and Zirkzee isn’t an out and out striker however, given we’ve signed Cunha and Mbeumo is looking likely I wonder whether we actually need another striker and actually the funds could be better spend in midfield. The real problem our forwards had was a complete and utter lack of service which (in theory) has been sorted. That’s not to say that I wouldn’t welcome Gyokeres however is he such a priority given the other signings we’ve made/look as though we’re making.

Perhaps not a priority, I agree, but in the event Mbeumo and Gyokeres do come, and I accept it’s a big if, what a front three that would be.

Absolutely, no complaints here should those three be in United shirts next season and would have bitten your arm off for them. It would appear that INEOS do have a plan and the financials that have just been released back that us so possibly not as bad as we were made to believe. Will certainly be interesting to see what happens in the coming 10 days or so before the window closes for the first time.

Precisely. With mbeuno and Cunha being fed by Zirkzee I can't see you NEEDING another striker. Ofc if you can get one happy days

But those 3 could easily cover your front line

Is rashford sold?

The Franks to Spurs may change the dynamic on Mbeumo with Franks reportedly wanting to take him with him to Spurs

No but I think Amorim has made it clear that he doesn’t want anyone at the club who isn’t fully committed and I can’t see him playing again.

I think it’s just paper talk, from what I’ve read he’s set on United and Franks going to Spurs doesn’t change that.

Enough of talking about teams that were in a relegation battle

Spain and Portugal is a quality watch

Portugal starting to edge it.

 

[Swango1980]

Villa's set piece coach gets around. Just seen him on the Portuguese bench barking out instructions

 

[Swango1980]

Just saw Uriah Rennie passed away

Some great football but very little goalmouth action.

 

[Slime]

I absolutely deplore penalties, but having said that ........................... come on Portugal!

 

[Slime]

BOOOOOOOM.

 

[Swango1980]

Didn't even know Moratta still played. Younger than I thought
