Rival watch

Yeah if Spurs beat Burnley and Sheffield Utd that will be enough for 5th.

After finishing 8th and losing Kane, it’s an improvement for sure.

Feel like we say this every summer but it’s a big one ahead with lots of players to sell and lots needed.

 

Man Utd and Newcastle still have to play each other too so they can't both get to those totals. 3 pts will probably get us Europa League.

 

Yeah I think next season is potentially massive for Spurs with the Ange effect coming to fruition.

 

Hadn't thought of that. Good news.

 

Man Utd are open to offers on virtually all of their players, according to the Telegraph.
That includes the likes of Rashford, Fernandes and Martinez.
Only Hojlund, Garnacho and Mainoo are considered off limits.

I'm sure we won't be bidding for any of their players, but I think they'll struggle to get rid of a lot.
Massive wages, poor attitudes and fitness issues, almost across the board.

 

You wouldn't have Bruno Fernandez? I think he doesn't look so good in recent times because he is struggling with the team around him but there is still a great player in there.

 

Fernandes is a superb player and I'm shocked that Man Utd would even consider selling him.
He carries them constantly, even when he's not playing at his best.
They've run him into the ground, despite having decent backup, so he's looking a bit jaded.

I can't see us paying either his transfer fee or his wages.
I also doubt he'd join us and I think clubs in a better position would bid for him.

 

Micah Richards claims that Arjen Robben was severely underrated:

Who didn't/doesn't rate Robben? His only issues were injuries and looking about 50.

 

And being slower then Ledley King

 

As much as Fernandes is a raging bellend, they’d be mad to sell him, he’s the one top class player at Utd right now. I would’ve said Varane, Casemiro and Eriksen too but Varane’s broken, Casemiro’s now fat and slow and Eriksen can’t last 90 mins anymore. Those three have got Saudi/ MLS written all over them.

Wan-Bissaka should have interest too in fairness, especially for defensively minded sides, for me he’s the best 1vs1 fullback in the league, it just gets a bit overlooked because he’s **** going forward.

 

A bit off topic but the best one vs one fullback I've ever seen live is Chris Hughton. Saw him many times and don't recall anyone ever getting past him.

 

If Wan-Bissaka was playing for Moyes or Dyche, then they'd absolutely love him.
The same could be said for Maguire though, to be fair.

 

Harry's first CL semi final. Eric's second

 

What do you guys think of the new rules that will allow the toon to spend 500 million on players?

 

It’s inevitable that Newcastle will do a Man City and start to win trophies with the owners they have.

 

This vote in June will change everything for us like... I will believe it when it happens though. Why are they all voting for it? It's like Turkeys voting for Christmas.

 

I thought the new ruling potentially hinders Toon, no?

Or I have misread/ misunderstood it?

 

So after a cracker from Leroy Robben, Kane’s penalty gets a quick turnaround for Bayern. 43 goals in 43 games for them so far, incredible.

Good game.

 

A very clumsy penalty to give away by the Korean bloke though...

 

Kim has had a nightmare in this game
