I must say, aside from CR7 going to Juve, this has been a pretty uneventful summer transfer window. Especially for a WC year.

I must say, I'm a little disappointed we didn't get to see the CR7/Pipita duo again. They were truly prolific together at RM back in the day.

Garber must be full of himself if he thinks Ibra owed anyone an appearance at the ASG
Unrelated,Tone is reporting back to training tomorrow after his BM had some complications during labor

Don't understand French but didn't need G-Translate to know what the last sentence means
Garber IS full of himself. I feel bad for anyone that spent money expecting to see Zlatan and Ronnie....suckers

So glad Higuain won't be coming to the bridge
I'd honestly be fine with us not making anymore transfers. Just get rid of Drinkwater if possible

Probably at least in part due to the overall market inflation combined with WC performances further driving up prices.
At least Pool has had a great window, we're up to a grand total of 0 signings and we seem to be targeting wingers more than anything. Our priority needs to be a midfielder, not an attacker. Someone who could kind of fit Dembele's role as he's been struggling with his fitness and reports that he's looking to move to a different league for that reason. Winks has looked good when fit but he's coming back off a long injury and it's hard to judge how fit or injury prone he is now.
It's a sad day when our midfield status has gotten to the point of a potential Sissoko injury being a major concern.

Our roster is a talented mess.
No 9, too many young talented midfielders. Either we play a 4-3-3 which means benching Isco and making no sense. Or we play Isco in the diamond and depend on struggle Benz+injury prone Bale while Asensio and possibly Vinicius struggle to find minutes and grow.
I hate that Benz seems untouchable. Dude needs to make way for the youth. Run a 4-4-1-1. Asensio/Vinicius @ LM. Bale as CF.

he looked ok...he got an assist after a good move but there were a handful of other opportunities where his final ball was pretty poor

Sarri smoking a cig already
I suppose he's taking the game serious now

His finishing/decision making in the final 3rd was meh, but he was blazing up & down the flank. Barca really couldn't defend him well in that respect.

Taking out Casemiro & Benz against certain teams will open up the line up, coming off a long summer I expect injuries to pop up

Yeah, that was a poor penalty
Props to Jorginho for telling Morata not to worry about it
Jorginho is a good leader on the pitch. I can see why he's a likable bloke

Penalty taking is bad right now, everywhere
