Arsenal got a new coach and already signed 5 new players and reports that they are not done yet.  Arsenal had 3rd best scoring team and one of the worst Ds in EPL.  All five players they signed are defensive players.  Going to be a dog fight this season.  Btw Torreira and Guendouzi signed today... both are DMs.  You can tell I’m super pumped.  Wenger had a tendency of playing CAMs as DMs which explain an awful D under Wenger.  Emery went out and bought two actual DMs.

Conte out at Chelsea...no idea what the hold up was but Sarri in.  Now sign some players please!  

Way past due lol...got 1 month to figure out the team and buy new players.  I think Arsenal is done, they might get one more player in but that’s it.  7 new players in 6 months.

madrid negotiating with neymar and his father, but neymar is still going to have to go basically nuclear before psg will let him leave. guess we'll see. still prefer mbappe by a pretty wide margin, and neymar might be my number 3 after hazard, because of neymar sr's bullshit that comes with ney.

Neymar is a drama queen.  I doubt Neymar and/or Mbappe are going anywhere.  Hazard is a better option for you.  Not sure if Salah is an option only after one good season in EPL.

i would honestly offer the exact same transfer amount for both of them. psg can't pay both 40 million plus in wages imo. they'll have their entire club asking for more money if they do. it's the reason madrid finally stopped negotiating with cristiano, because they knew everyone would want a wage increase. once you've exhausted all options on neymar and mbappe, then (and only then) move onto hazard which should be fairly painless.

Their owner don’t care about money.  With rising oil prices, those pay raises are nothing to him.

Barcelona is going for Kante...

I currently see Kante on par with Hazard (believe that or not) in importance for Chelsea but we don't know what the formation and squad will be looking like under Sarri.  That said, its pretty clear a shake up of sorts has been needed for a while.  A squad that can't get motivated to play for Conte says more about the players and commitment more than anything.  If we finish 5th or better next year it will be surprising. 

If we did sign Jorginho than a Kante loss is lessened but still...so many unknowns right now.  Is Sarri a step up from Conte.  LOL, hell no.

Jorginho is in... I guess Kante on the way to Barca?  Kante was actually one of the brightest players last year if I remember correctly.  Willian was very inconsistent.

Why am I not surprised we've done absolutely zero this window so far? I mean, there's been a few mild rumors going about, but literally nothing.

 

It's the same story every single year. I expect maybe a low-tier signing in the waning moments before it closes, but this window has been just another fug all summer, and we needed more competition at Striker and left and right back, and another CAM that can create to push and/or sub for Eriksen when he goes out. We lose any attacking bite if he's out for even one game, so we needed somebody to try and fill his shoes.

 

don't mind me.. gonna go cry in my coffee some more now. Typical Spurs Summer (TSS - trademarked)

You have a solid starters but not much behind.  Spurs have been very successful developing young talent so who knows.

      TNF: Rams/Seahawks

      By UnluckyforSome · Posted

      I think the book has been fairly written on Darnold, and by and large stays true. He can be rattled by pressure, and will lose his composure. If a team can get to him and have something go wrong in the plan, the mistakes and errors will pile up. Rams have a better offense, Seahawks sport a better defense. Should be a good 1.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By Mr. Scot · Posted

      Not a defense of him...an understanding of the problem. (something you seem to be lacking right now) 🙄 Bryce in a Canales offense is not an example of a stylistic mismatch, but I can give you one if that helps. When he was playing for the Panthers, Cam Newton sat under OC's running Coryell type offenses. Newton had a big arm and was a strong runner. He fit into that sort of attack very well. Then he goes to New England, where at the time they were running an Earhardt-Perkins system (similar to WCO In a lot of what they do but very different terminology). The Patriot offenses back then were heavily based on timing and rhythm style passing, not something that Newton was especially well suited for. So he washed out at New England, not because he had poor ability (his abilities had been on display here on a regular basis) but because he didn't fit what they wanted to do with their offense. I always go back to Jeff Garcia as one of the prime examples of this issue. Garcia in a WCO looked like a world beater. Put him in any other scheme though...yikes!  So again, Young's issues here have nothing to do with any failure to mesh with Canales. Hell, is say Canales has actually done pretty well at adapting his system to who he has rather than trying to jam square pegs into round holes. Again, it doesn't take an elite level of football knowledge to get this. It's pretty basic. But if you're not even capable of understanding what the real problem is, how are you going to know you to find the right solution? 🤔
