Why would he go there? Everton a better bet surely? @Orikoru

Nobody actually believes that. Spurs are a bigger club right now, European football to offer, top stadium and training facilities, etc etc. As I said before, I'm fairly certain we'll finish above Everton now that we have a manager.

Would love us to look at Grealish, he'd slot in perfectly on the left side now with Son leaving. Or even at number 10 if Tel plays on the left - the idea of playing in the middle again may appeal to him, since he's only play on the left at City.

I think Grealish would fit in well at Spurs in the 10 role behind Solanke. He’d have more freedom to be creative and Solanke would get better service from him.

I'm just having a laugh in respect of your comment yesterday.

You only have European footy over Everton.

They have a fabulous training facility at Finch Farm and a brand new stadium.
Depends if he wants to stay in the NW or go to London.
50/50 imo.

it will never not baffle me that United have no European revenue, finished 15th, cutting jobs left, right and centre, spent over £200m on players already, now dropped another £70m (and barely sold anyone)....oh and Sir Jim admitted in an interview that they had over £300m worth of debt....

And they're not struggling with PSR.

 

[Beezerk]

The Toon will be signing Sheff Wed cast offs pretty soon

 

[Orikoru]

I'm not busy this week so I've been endlessly drafting and re-drafting my Fantasy team. I keep flopping between Salah + Haaland or no Haaland. I'm currently back on having both, but you do need a pretty poor bench to make it work.

Spurs are miles bigger these days IMO. Better and bigger stadium, bigger fanbase, more success (league position average/trophies) and more potential. Everton have done nothing for decades.

They generate a lot more income that most teams though! Just wait until they get the subsidised 100,000 stadium with 30,000 VIP seats.

I think it will be great for the league to have Man Utd on their way back, if they can get Donnarumma too it will be an impressive window. Replacing Onana and Hojlund was a must!

It’s Manchester United FC, which is registered on the New York stock exchange, which is skint. Red Football, the football side of the business which is consequently governed by PSR, is not.

It was common knowledge at the start of this summer that United could spend £150m plus on players without selling anyone and not even break sweat when it came to PSR. It’s been widely reported.

Think it’s nailed on to be Dembele.

Benjamin Sesko: How are Manchester United able to afford £74m striker?

He wouldn't have to move house if he went to Everton, keeps things stable. Come on Jack, we'd be really nice to you as well

Half of them are suffering from the issue Messi and Ronaldo did - nominated just because of who they are

Not sure how anyone from Madrid can get nominated

Haaland ? Rice ?

Would be good to see Vitinha win it but think it’s going to be one of the PSG forwards or Lamal

Shame that it’s always weighted towards the CL

I suspect most are there just to make up the numbers.
Let’s be honest,none of the Prem players have a chance & shouldn’t really be on the list.

It’s always going to be weighted towards the CL as that’s the pinnacle

Will pull up tree trunks this coming season.

I'm not sure who that is but I don't think he's in it.

Has to be someone from RM, it's written down in the conditions, now that Messi has gone.
