D@Highbury_74 This Mbappe talk reminds me of the summer I spent trying to work out how to pronounce "Higuain" & finding out it was pronounced "Sanogo"
Diego Costa: "Conte sent me a message saying I'm not in his plans for Chelsea so I'll have to find a way out".
Most interesting part for me was the comment that their relationship "has been bad". All we've ever heard about Conte from his time with Juve, Italy and Chelsea is about how good his manmanagemt is. Maybe a first chink in his armour? Armour of course that non of the UK media paid attention to before he came here but now they suddenly laid him. Let's see how he does in the UCL where he failed abysmally with Juve every time.
I can't believe more players didn't try to get at him in games & get him sent off. He seems more easy to wind up than Joey Barton!
Usually when it kicks off he gets away with it and the other bloke gets sent off. Seems very good at conning refs.
Costa has been **** ever since he was denied the move to China. I think he was always going to leave at the end of the season.
Manchester United unlikely to offer Zlatan Ibrahimovic a new contract at Old Trafford, according to Sky sources.
Must've been the fact that he didn't score 10 goals all season. If I was Arsenal / Arsene I'd do everything to sign him, exactly the character and player they need. Alas he'll probs want the UCL if staying in Europe. Actually has he won it? Don't think he has from memory - not at Ajax, nor Juve, nor Inter, Inter knocked his Barca out, not at Meelan.
Norwich City have signed 28-year-old midfielder Mario Vrančić from SV Darmstadt 98 on a three-year deal.
Man U want Keane back and have a 25% sell-on clause, but Burnley will just bump up the asking price if Mourinho REALLY wants him. If not United, Keane will probably end up at Everton or even Liverpool.
He's in his last year and is obviously not going to sign a new deal, so he's gone, it's now just a question of where and how much.
Manchester United have agreed a €35m move for Victor Lindelof - he'll travel for a medical in the coming days.
