Summer 2018 Transfer Window

Obviously it's opinion and the league isn't as fast (or out of control), but I think the defending tactics and talent are better. Maybe the lack of speed helps defenses a bit of course.

Although, it doesn't make for the most entertaining product so perhaps I'm still watching a small sample size. Napoli and Roma are fun to watch, but Koulibaly is IMO the best CB in the world and Roma has a couple pretty good defenders as well.

It’s not terrible but it made Fazio look good. I’ve seen so many shockers watching it on TV. Like laughable.

Maldini et al must shake their heads.

In the US they have this process called a player draft, where teams vie for new players...they televise it and I'm told it has sky-high ratings.

US sports is weirdly socialist considering the country. The system has some great elements. Obviously only really works because the teams aren't very international.

Can we go after Doucoure or Will Hughes? I miss the Watford fans.

Which one is the albino looking one who plays for them ?

I'd sponsor his thread if we got him.

Doucoure would be wicked expensive, but how much fun would that be? We take far and away their best two players?

They would haaaaaaate us

Hughes.

I actually really wanted Peneranda from Watford but dude can’t buy a work permit somehow.

Usain Bolt is currently having trials with a Chinese club???????? Would he do?

Doubt it.

Didnt think Ashley would pay his wages.

I don't really keep abreast of other clubs' business but is he still looking to sell Newcastle?

I think Americans look at it a bit differently. The salary cap creates even competition amongst teams, it's not really socialist in that regard.

But you gotta understand, some high schools in the US get 20K plus at american football games on average, That being said, head injuries have definitely had a negative impact on kids participation rates in football.

I always enjoy your contributions SN . Like me, you sometimes 'wander off the reservation', but that's a not unendearing trait...especially in fraught times like transfer windows.

We are doing the Lord's work, you and me Deipno... (what even does that mean?)

It would be sooooo awesome. Even better if we could somehow get some exclusive rights to play Z Cars.

Not Doucoure.

Basically someone that’s class at talking whilst having their tea.

 

[N.S.N.O.]

Considering Coleman is back from injury, Tosun and Walcott came in in January and Richarlison and Digne will be first team players, even if we don’t make any more signings (which is unlikely) the first 11 will be nothing like the one that started last season.

Except for our slow motion Centre backs which any team with any bit of quality up front can slice through for fun...and no creativity in centre midfield....
