OTT 54 - Yes, we bought 85 players, and no we won't get punished

There’s a certain method madness here. Madrid can only sell their training ground to the Madrid City Council so many times and they’re very aware of what has happened and is happening to Barca when you pay close to top dollar for transfer targets.

At the same time, like United’s fall from grace, this short term approach of encouraging players to run down their contracts cannot be the only road to maintaining their status. I wonder if a day, not the day, but a day of reckoning is coming for Real?

 

C’est la vie. I would trust Edwards and Hughes replacing any player. They would also have much more insight than us fans to the status of negotiations.

It has zero to do with Konate.
They would stockpile 33 first team players, they don't care.
Rudiger is 32 and out of contract next summer.
Alaba is 32 and out of contract next summer.

Asencio, Militao and Huijsen will be their only CBs by that time.
Makes sense they want Konate.

 

Spain will never let it happen.

 

Asencio might be gone considering the charges against him

 

this is actually true. my god, what an atrocious name for a stadium!!

Liverpool-based legal firm Hill Dickinson is the naming rights partner for Everton's new stadium. The new arena will be named the Hill Dickinson Stadium after the company, which has its headquarters in the city.

 

Suggested nickname: The Big Dick

 

Limp Dick?

 

Dick Hill

Utd are so so poor.

 

This cannot be a new discovery.

 

Well - I learned today that not only are they poor, they are SO SO poor Maguire’s touch is hilarious

 

I think you’re nitpicking.

 

Chef's kiss.

 

erm ... what??

 

We're all Palace supporters today.

 

EZE!!!

 

Definitely, and full credit to him for staying at Palace while he developed so he could play whenever he was fit.

 

Dean Henderson has had an eventful first half. He appeared to handle just outside the box but was given a reprieve by VAR. Then he saved a penalty and the rebound shot after the Cheaters were given a penalty for a foul on Silva in the box.
