I don't know who was the idiot who handled transfers (ME or RA) but fuck me he did a terrible job. I don't even think we need that much but when you get to a point that Boga starts and you have Kenedy, Musonda, Christensen, Tomori and Scott on the bench you know you have done a shit job.

The only way I'd let Coutinho go is if we could agree a deal for Aubameyang from Dortmund, then put him up top and Firmino in the CAM role where Coutinho would of been. But thats very unlikely.

See we rejected another bid from Barca last night, this one rumored to be up to £90million with add ons. Klopp seems persistent to hold on to him, 22 days to go before the window shuts though.

Well, he could only blame himself really for signing a five year deal. Has nothing to do but strike.

Sanchez I hope leaves. As far away from England as possible. Love him so much I need him to stay away from City. Think he will stay though after all.

Am i alone in thinking Everton will struggle this season? Can see them being the surprise team in the bottom half, sold Lukaku and haven't really replaced him. Seem to be relying on Rooney (which is bonkers), Lukaku scored nearly half their goals in the league last season. Going to be a Martinez style regression imo.

I actually think they will have a solid season. Have done some interesting transfers with the Lukaku money. If they brin Sigurdsson it will be amazing.

1 - Man City - Just can't see anyone beating them to the title. Squad is really strong!
2 - Man Utd - Just have a feeling that things could click. Especially with Pogba allowed a more advanced role in the middle!
3 - Arsenal - Just don't see them as title contenders. Lacazette and Kolasinac are great signings but I think something isn't working there as a whole.
4 - Chelsea - I hope I am wrong and that we will finish higher but as things stand, I just can't see things working out. Unless Conte gets what he wants, I can see another Jose season.
5 - Liverpool - Salah is great. If Coutinho leaves they will be in trouble. Don't think their backline and keeper are strong enough yet for a real title push.
6 - Tottenham - Not exactly nice playing away from home all of the time and we saw how they faired at Wembley last year in the CL and EL.
----------------------
18 - Swansea - Sigi looks on his way out so can't see them posing a threat to many teams.
19 - Huddersfield - Not seen much of them but they don't seem as good as the other teams that will fight for relegation
20 - Brighton - Same as above. Hope Hemed and Kayal can impress and move to another PL club

Yeah something like that seems about right, Solanke has looked good in preseason but still a bit green i think. As for a replacement, that's what I'm worried about, hoping Klopp doesn't just use some of the money to bring in VVD and then not sign a replacement.

Yeah, it might be the case! With both Mane and Salah on the wings, the only thing I could think of is drop Firmino behind and start with a proper striker. Still, if one gets injured you will be a mess, similar to last season when Coutinho was injured and Mane was at the AFCON

Looks like Coutinho is off, apparently a deal worth upto 108 million has been agreed. Have to say I'd expect more tbh, when you think United spent 90 million on Pogba last year and some of the transfers we've seen this season.

Just hope we bring in VVD and another midfielder now though to replace Coutinho

How do you think you will line up? With Coutinho, obviously something like this?

Mane - Coutinho - Salah
Firmino

Could let Solanke lead the line? Who would you bring instead?

Surprised the game was so even considering we were missing Koscienly, Mustafi, Ramsey, Sanchez & Ozil, then of course Mertesacker going of early in the game.

Have to say Chelsea look a bit of a mess at the moment and wouldn't be surprised if Conte is the first manager to quit this season.

I think things aren't quiet at the club. It is obvious that Conte isn't happy with the transfers, both coming in and the ones leaving (Matic). Hope Roman gets his money bags and lets Conte do his thing. Would be pissed if he left because he didn't get what he wanted.

One of the things that made everything work last season was the comitment shown by everyone. With how things started this season (Costa and Matic, Conte vs. Emenal...) I fear that this will be similar to our previous title defence.

Not that good. Don't really understand why Conte let Courtois take the second penalty but whatever. Bad defending throughout most of the game really, and at that free kick especially. Luiz and Rudiger not bothering to try and stop Kolasinac.

Pedro with a stupid mistake. Should have never gone in for such a tackle.

Think the game was quite balanced with each team having its better moments. Oh and Xhaka was great today.

I am happy that we are still 5th. If we can sort out our attack I think we can really be pushing for second place. Saying that, we could just as easily go down to 13th.

He has a point. As good a Spurs are looking, and I love watching them play, they just don't seem to have that edge. And the gap will only get bigger with the spending in the league.

I wouldn't be surprised to see them finish in the top 4 but I can't see them winning the league just yet. It would be a nice surprise but I guess most of you wouldn't have them down as one of your three favourites to win the league.

A similar start to last season. Again, 9 points in six games. Hopefully we can continue getting points and manage to avoid going on a bad run! Hopefully we can start scoring more goals. Only 7 goals in six games, that isn't enough to win a lot of games.

https://i.gyazo.com/a7d4f56632c9803db75bab67772290f2.png

The table is obviously still very tight. Hopefully a good run next month will see us climb the table a little but who knows?

Again, a lot of friendlies to get match fitness up. Nothing special.

https://i.gyazo.com/4d7bab82effe7dd7202026eb5c52221e.png

A lot of transfers this season. We have managed to bring in £150k from selling three important players but we have also added clauses that will see us profit from any future sale! We brought in a lot of loan players as well just to have the depth in the squad. I wouldn't mind sending those who don't play back to their parent club, but with us not paying wages, it was the best thing to do.

https://i.gyazo.com/9e3d587d23b779da1b035ee0491b7fe3.png

We are predicted to finish 4th this season. It didn't work well for us last year, as we finished 4 places off the prediction. Hopefully this year Paul Prado can lead us to at least 4th!

https://i.gyazo.com/ec9bb15edba5f79243f410b4753d1097.png

Very early on the board have given me a new contract. A nice £100 upgrade.

https://i.gyazo.com/42aa9e4b0bbbf18189911d7e147a761d.png

So, is this the team mto lead us to glory? I am liking the look of it. Perhaps not the amount of loaned players but I am sure the ones who are here with us will do great things. Jhoao Casas stayed with us but his contract with his club is up soon. I really hope that he will decide to sign with us because he is a great CB for both this level and for the first division.

Two huge wins against first and second! It seems like right now the team had clicked. Will need to keep the important players here next season but that surely will be a tough job! Prado continued his fine form with 3 goals and 2 assists in the final two games.

https://i.gyazo.com/66aa06020471fdd12b0396eb4e0bb827.png

9th place, 40 points. We did manage to get a mid table finish after all. We finished three places higher this season and got 5 more points! Not bad. Just hope that we can keep our end of the season form up next season as well!

I agree with the awards that have been handed. Betancur and Li have been very good for us for most of the games. Only players I don't think should be in the team of the season are Solis (left us in the transfer window because we got a better replacement) and Fajardo (was terrible the whole time and was quickly dropped to the bench). Really hope that this was the first and last season of Paul Prado with us!

https://i.gyazo.com/5557c453f475242e74c2d52939e351b2.png

I will do my best to keep Casas, Gil, Gutierrez and Tavara. Betancur is leaving as we can't offer foreign players over the age of 25 a contract unless they played in the top division the season prior. The same goes for Arrieta. Not too fussed as I am sure we will find two foreigners to bring in instead!

A very good month when taking into account our form this season!! We were outplayed in the final game of the month but hopefully we can forget that game and get back to our good form. Team is definitely playing better and a lot of that is down to our 17 year old star Paul Prado!

https://i.gyazo.com/d6565fa3eec8a095e6101c2f49eb97d8.png

Up to 11th now which is better, and also we are 14 points clear with 3 games to go. So, you know what that means! We are safe! Can't get relegated. Maybe we can even push for a 10th place finish if we perfect the last few games but I would be glad to just stay in 11th for now.

Decent I guess. Our defence seems to have been getting a bit better, with us only conceding 1 goal in our 4 games. Despite that, we have also only scored 1 goal in the 4 games. We really need to get our attackers firing but for now, I much rather see a draw than us getting smashed.
