Pendantic git but the end of my sentence confirmed i did not know Then my smilies later showed i knew i was cooked
Ideal scenario: window closes Modric leaves Real (why i have no idea) Real go and unsettle eriksen. After today I expect the english press to target certain clubs with stories of their players wanting to leave to go to spanish clubs. 1. US and salah. I know its going to happen 2. cheslea and hazard 3. Utd and pogpoo.
I cannot see the benefit to end the window early tbh....I guess English teams can point blank refuse to sell as they can’t replace but it won’t stop players agitating for a move as Couthino did last year.
It makes sense "globally" but not on its own. clubs need to be clear that window is close and no outs unless it suits.
It plays straight into the hands of the big Spanish clubs who often use windows to unsettle players a window or two before they actually leave. Can’t see Salah entertaining that nonsense but Pogba and Hazard....perhaps!
It's to benefit the smaller clubs .every year the clubs in the middle have their players unsettled as they are normally bought by the bigger pl teams as all the other foreign teams that are massive don't want to buy them and the smaller foreign teams don't have our spending power. I quite like it tbh makes the pl fairer
08:56 LIVERPOOL - FEKIR STILL A TARGET? Vinny O'Connor told Sky Sports News where Liverpool sit in relation to the targets they've been chasing - Christian Pulisic and Nabil Fekir. He said: "Fekir and Pulisic are two of the names that have been mentioned, but I have to say in all honesty Liverpool aren’t about to go back in for Fekir. That’s the information we’re getting at the minute. "It also looks like there’s not a deal to be done to see Pulisic become a Liverpool player. However, we are used to seeing surprises sprung on Deadline Day."
neither are happening. The pulisic story was purely a hack writing right after pulisic score 2 in preseason game. We all know the fekir score by now. he failed medical.
Agreed and from clubs point of view they can say to the players look window closes on X so if we hit that day we’re not selling you because we can’t replace you. Pretty straightforward and players and agents who might be wanting to move abroad and waiting for a bid know that it needs to be done by that date. As you say it protects the lower Prem clubs really who 2 weeks into the season suddenly see a couple of players targeted and unsettled just because a bigger club have either had a poor start or have an injury.
Really does seem United had no plan of action for a CB this summer. First it was Maguire, then Alderweirald, then Mina, then Boateng and now Godin.
José is probably the only one at the club who thinks they need more defenders, and his whining has prompted the others into panic stations.
What's happened with Tottenham. Didn't Pochetino give an ultimatum at the start of summer saying that now is the time to act. He got a new bumper deal and they signed no one
