all depends how good the scouting is.

Liverpool picked up 'unknown' Firmino from Germany at a decent price and that's not worked out badly at all.

You never know.  

As a Newc fan if you've not got hope what have you got?  

Firminho was a far bigger name back then with more proven skills. 

And we don't have hope, we don't have anything to cling to.

Everton dropped £50m on Richarlison (with clauses) wouldnt say he was outstanding last year and he's being talked about £70m to atletico/PSG.. Also turned a profit on Lukaku when people said they overpaid.

Firmino was a Brazil international when he signed for Liverpool!

and still nobody in the UK knew who he was.

I admire your optimism on both fronts.

I'm not saying that'll happen, I'm telling you how the club thinks.

An owner that has killed any and all hope.

Well we sold Perez for 30m already, it's not 10m so far this summer after - 20m net last year. 

Still 0 clue if he'll be any good. 

He played very good against City. Considering the Newcastle midfielder who United want is valued at 50 million because he looked alright against City, 40 million does not seem too bad.

Newcastle linked with allan saint-maximin today according to the beeb. Thats it they definitely are using FIFA to do their scouting.. Reminds me of about 20 years ago when a club (I think it was leeds) appeared to be signing players who were good on championship manager.

I'll restart it next week.

Seen this Ozil/Kolasinac attack? Mental.

Fair play for Kolasinac for standing up to them, the hard bastard.

[DareToDibble]

Ozil... ? ?

Can you blame him? It's the most sensible thing to do

Yeah to be fair I think that would be everyone’s reaction. Just the way he leaves Kolasinac behind tickled me (now we know they’re ok).

Apparently their wives were both in the car which makes even more sense for him driving off.

Best defending I’ve ever seen from those two.

[Hugh Jass]

We have made a bold claim for the coveted “worst kit of the season” award.

Step aside Man City...

 

[CRW5252]

That a signing!!! Can't believe we have spent the money, fair play to the Arsenal board. Need to get a solid centre back in now...

Most we can hope for now is getting the Tierney deal over the line. Saliba is the cb signing - but not the one we need right now.

Has the eFestivals Fantasy Prem league been renewed?

Are you that confident? 

TBH I can't see us being as close to you this season - we'd have to match last year and have the same amount of luck!

Especially if we play like we did earlier...
