Harry Kane is an excellent striker but he is not the generational talent the Spurs treat him as... he is also now in his late 20's, disgruntled, and playing in an ever more struggling team... his price will continue to drop

supposedly, City were prepared to pay up to £150 million for Kane during the off season but the Spurs baulked wanting £160 million... even if it was £127 million (which I believe was offered by City), Tottenham should have sold Kane

I doubt Tottenham get £100 million next summer for Kane

idiotic... what happens when you have an accountant running your club

 

[Tassie Devil]

I watched Werner for RB Leipzig and Germany and thought he'd be great in the EPL but I am stunned how clueless he can be on the field

as for LFC, Jota is underrated

Yeah. It shocks me. He's fallen off a cliff. Really sad tbh

Amazing result for Sherrif from Moldova to beat Real at the Bernabeu.

That was some genuine rebuild money...anyway I'm happy they didn't sell, would've made the league that much harder to win if Kane was at City.

let's assume Man City were going to pay £130 million which translates to a bit over €150 million... and going off Transfermarkt, what could be bought -

* Philippe Coutinho (29) - AM - Barcelona - €30 million
* Dusan Vlahovic (21) - CF - Fiorentina - €40 million
* Christian Pulisic (23) - LW/RW - Chelsea - €50 million
* Alessio Romagnoli (26) - CB - AC Milan - €25 million

= €145 million

I'd say Ole is as safe as Pep and Moyes. No way is he going to get sacked

 

[LFC Bulldogs]

Ole is safe and it’s good news for LFC fans .
Ofcourse we will read dribble from the minority of their fans who have no idea. You know which ones I’m referring too.
The inept ones that would say that this season is the season they would win the PL “ we are not ready this season (last season) but will be next season” . We’ve seen the start they’ve made and the new excuses .

Then irony is a Nuno is favourite to get the axe but he had Wolves playing great football.
Wolves have fallen dramatically since his departure haven’t they? It’s still early days and they can turn things around .

Steve Bruce I have never rated as a coach , how he consistently lands PL gigs is buying me.

 

[LFC Bulldogs]

Surely Koemen must be getting the sack this week . Messi was definitely carrying them but Barcelona still have some quality players , they shouldn’t be losing the manner they are losing.
That 3-0 Benfica loss is a low point.

Newcastle about to be rich as fuck boy

Fucking hate Steve Bruce. Shit house manager.

Ole. You know how it's goes. Once Fergie came out and defended a player over the manager, then the writing is clearly on the wall.

Not good for Liverpool this Newcastle thing. Just another club with even more money than us to spend ...

Football is fucked tho, really. Sugar daddies coming in to prop up clubs. Tho, feel they'll go the way of Everton rather than City

It's not good for the league but I always felt it was coming for one team or another

 

[B-Train]

I'm happy for Newcastle. I always had a soft spot for them going back to the Keegan days. The Geordie fans have suffered for years with Mike Ashley running that club into the ground. Hopefully these new owners turn them into the powerhouse that they should be. Huge clubs like Newcastle, Villa and Leeds should never be facing relegation if they're run properly.

Yeah. Was always going to happen and will happen to more teams. Shame. Massive shame really.

Makes this whole uproar about the Super League concept a farce if the EPL continues to be happy with clubs being bought out by blood oil.

Of course it'd be great for the fans, but I just don't see how this is good for the league unless they really run the club sustainably which no oil rich owner has done so far.

Clubs like Everton could go either way in all honesty, because despite all the investment they've made massive losses and haven't improved much at all. They're just very lucky they've got Rafa.

What will happen at Newcastle?

You're right though. They do deserve better Newcastle fans. Without a doubt.

Not every cashed up owner will work out.. Look at City with the former Thai Prime Minster before the Mansours became involved. But for those clubs it's certainly better than languishing at the bottom and gives them some hope that they didn't have before.

Especially Magpies fans. They'd just be happy anyone but Mike Ashley owns the team.

 

[LFC Bulldogs]

Whenever this takeover takes place they may have to make immediate changes because Newcastle are in the relegation zone and will more than likely hover around there throughout the season.
