If it's not, it would be a massive disaster. It's massively a project club at the moment, based on what the owners are saying. That's why Tuchel seems so safe, he's built up cred and they want to invest long term. It may well even work, though I'm concerned about his volatility.  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members mim731 Posted August 31, 2022 Paid Members Share Posted August 31, 2022 The Spurs tears if Poch went to Chelsea would be tremendous. I'm sad now that it isn’t actually going to happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Nexus Posted August 31, 2022 Paid Members Share Posted August 31, 2022 Only 6. Happy with that (I'm not).  Haaland's absolutely disgusting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaitoRyo Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 Well then. Losing to the increasingly unlikeable Liverpool in the 98th minute after only five minutes were added on, after the lads worked so fucking hard and could have easily won 2-0, is a sickener. On the plus side, I thought Isak had a wicked game... ...sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Scott Malbranque Posted September 1, 2022 Paid Members Share Posted September 1, 2022 Outrageous. Haaland is like the baller equivalent of Khamzat or Ivan Drago, isn't he? Just absolute lunacy of a specimen. Everytime he's out there, opposition players' WAGs be like  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What surprised me most about Newcastle is how many ‘workmanlike’ players are still in their team yet they play very well. There’s no way Mo Salah shouldn’t be getting a sniff against Dan Burn. Once they kick in to the next phase of recruitment they’ll have some team I reckon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pope, Trippier, Dan Burn. Botman is a bit of a unit but slow on the turn isn't he? Guimarães is the real exception when it comes to technical ability. Haven't seen enough of Isak but he seems to be quite skilled rather than a kick & rush guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never, ever heard of this lad I am sure of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Duke Posted September 1, 2022 Author Paid Members Share Posted September 1, 2022 (edited) It's fine though, we're selling Batshuayi to Forest. Â This window is a complete reset, Sterling and Fofana aside. Loads of deadwood being cleared by hook or by crook and a couple of stop gaps to (in theory) stay competitive before sorting things out more next year. Â When John Terry takes charge. Doesn't matter anyway, no one else is winning anything in this league until Haaland joins Real Madrid and Pep decides he's bored and goes to PSG.
