    Well yes, she definitely went a bit overboard: van Dijk's comments were clearly in jest.

    Since we’d be coming off the transfer ban, it would make some sense. He’s also going to cost a ton, despite his recent frustrations, so I expect that rules Liverpool out. That said, I think United are favorites since they have the cash, but he’s not really what’s needed.

    U guys are going to be in a great position

    young fullbacks, a quality young cb and a good midfield

    I think sancho is the perfect player for a young English core

    sancho and a good cb and you can potentially challenge, if Tammy keeps this form up anyway

    The toaster was invented long before Roy was born. I hope people don't believe that blindly. He has seen a lot though in the game

    Raiola especially, since in most of the deals he's involved in, he somehow manages to get paid on all 3 fronts: from his player obviously, plus both the buying and selling clubs with him "brokering" the deal.
    The amount he netted in the Pogba deal for instance when we bought him from Juve was outrageous.
    My biggest issue with this practice is how this is not only ethical, but even legal, given the clear conflict of interest in those types of deals.

    Well, we have a good right back, we think. I'm still not sure how far away Reece James is. His crossing is very good, the rest of his game is still improving. I think our CBs are very good actually - we've done all this without Rudiger, who's our best defender. He and Tomori would make a very good partnership.
    Striker is an interesting one - I wonder what Lampard and co think of Batshuayi. Inconsistent, but gets goals. Bit of an enigma, but this system suits him.
    Left back is a bit of a hole. We need one, though I hope we don't splooge all our cash at Chillwell, who's good but not great.

    I think Sancho does make sense for us, since we have room on the wings and at the #10. Willian is still good, but needs to play less given his age.

    You desperately need midfielders. If you spend half your window negotiating for a 110mm purchase of Sancho, you will have effectively replaced James (who I'm not that high on) with Sancho. Which is a big upgrade! But still leaves your midfield laughably bad.

    Specially as Ben Simmons doesnt even look like an all start at the moment.

    he’s a beast defensively

    but the team is functioning. Tobias has taken over and we have embiid playing better after his 0 point game vs gasol

    I think Ben is somewhat playing within himself but at the same time, doing enough so philly win?

    I think if he starts hitting at least mid range shots at a reasonable clip, he will draw defenders out to blow by

    I think we look better when josh gets back too

    He isnt trying, you miss all the shots you dont take. He is fine in regular season but a problem against playoff and nowhere near allstar this yera.

    I am sorry but Tobias Harris and Josh Richardson cant be your closers.

    Lots of reports linking Moyes to a return back to Everton, following Silva's imminent firing. It appears that Tim Cahill will come back also as an assistant.
    Interesting move on their part.

    Would be an odd target for them. They don't need depth on the wing. They need an outlier, an elite talent. Maybe they want to play him as a forward? I dunno. Doesn't make sense given their needs and what he would cost. Pulisic, Mount, CHO, WIllian (old), Pedro (older) are all at or above the level of Zaha. Zaha is a take on monster, but he doesn't do anything with it.
