34 isn’t that old now, I could picture him having a couple more good seasons at Milan.

It would be interesting to see how many goals he gets if he starts regularly. I always thought he was a good player who was criminally under used.

Can’t see Haaland going this summer. Chelsea will probably just deal with Werner up front for another season before trying to activate the Haaland release clause next season. If I was them I would be making a ridiculous offer for him right now.

Chelsea can afford to chill for a bit though really can’t they having won the CL and all, it’s not like they’re in a crisis exactly is it?!

Tell that to Abramovich

I’d happily tell him, he’s just won something City would kill for and it’s twice now as well.

Doesn’t mean they’re going to win it this year or even place for the year after if their team is weaker. You’re not thinking long term, just this season. If they fuck it all up could they really get Haaland?

It’s always been the same with them though, they win stuff then rebuild for a bit then usually win more stuff a season or two later.

We’ll see, they might blitz the season and win everything yet, haha.

MUFC under Ferguson would always heavily invest in new players after winning the league. It’s the best time to bring in new guys, stop complacency and try to stay ahead of the rest of the pack. They did exactly what they set out to do and that was knock LFC off their perch.

If they want to try and knock City off their perch then they should invest heavily now, if they’re happy with winning the CL again and just want to compete with the bigger clubs then all is well. Either way, they are very far from being in crisis. They’re a club that wins stuff every two or three years, they’ve done it for the best part of twenty years now. Not bad going especially if you consider how much City have spent and not won the CL and even better if you consider how much United have spent in recent years and the that club’s lack of return.

True, but also consider how many managers have been and gone since Abramovich took over in 2004… 15 appointments, with Gus Hiddink and Murinho having two spells each. They’re not so much a club in crisis, but given the amount spent on transfers over the same spell, I’d expect a bit more dominance. City’s sole target, like PSG, was/is to win the CL. Winning the league and other domestic honours is expected.

Everton apparently signing Andros Townsend on a free. Not a superstar signing but I’m a fan of the guy and he’s WAY better than Iwobi.

Not a superstar is right, but he’s fucking rad.

He can score belters on his day.

His hairline is one of the most remarkable recoveries I’ve ever seen. It might be artificial but the man is absolutely rocking the shit out of it.

@Everyone in that other thread that was telling me hair transplants don’t work and to just shave it off when the time comes.

Edit: Oh my god, did I accidentally just tag absolutely everyone? If so that throwaway line has gone badly wrong.
