    **Official** English Football Season 2024/25

    I think we'll be getting a striker too. Bit soon to say who wins it, there's going to be a lot happening this window. I'm excited to see Cherki in the PL. As much as I dislike City I hope they get him just to watch him more

    The squad is crying out for another Thiago Silva, someone like Rudiger would be perfect. That trophy will be huge for their young squad but they still lack the experience to get through a league campaign. Only way they can fix it is by breaking their transfer policy, or waiting.

    Chelsea are in a very interesting spot with their squad. 2-3 really smart signings away from being a proper threat in the league. I just don't think their board/recruitment team have it in them to make the right moves. Seems they're in talks with Delap which I don't mind and should also get...

    I was literally thinking about it for over 10min. Shame on us both for missing that :laugh:

    I'm having a senior moment. Who was the other team?

    Thoughts and prayers to those people involved in the parade incident. Just awful stuff. YNWA

    Not a bad shout, didn't include him due to his age and the injury record. That was speculative value-hunting from FSG but unfortunately Thiago's body was well past it. Wirtz is a wonderkid and transformative signing. He'll walk in immediately as the best 10 in the league. Talk is we're trying...

    Wirtz to Liverpool looks to be happening. Huge signing and will be the biggest any club makes this summer. First time we've signed a certified world class player since Torres in 2008. Slot aint messin' about.

    De Gea, Pogba, Zlatan, Mata, Alexis, Young, Herrera, Mkhitaryan, Valencia, Fellaini, Matic. Jose was putting abit of dip on the chip. Jose would have won that Europa final though. I'm tempted to think that ETH would have too.

    That only works when other clubs are keen to pay their wages and the fees United demand, which won't happen. A few of those guys might get loan deals but convincing a player like Mount or De Ligt to take a wage cut and leave will be nearly impossible. It might work for someone like Casemiro or...

    Alright, here's my attempt to fix United (long post coming). Amorim - the manager has to go first and foremost. Not a single player in that squad is improving, in fact the development of Garnacho and Mainoo has gone backwards. That alone is enough to warrant sacking, add in finishing 16/17th...

    What a fantastic result for football. I hope Ange walks away from Spurs now with his pride, legacy and dignity intact. For all the criticism he took he delivered exactly what he said he would. It is the perfect time to leave England and go find a more meaningful challenge. United fans, your...

    Worth a watch from the 14:20 mark - on the Rice ToTY debate. The comments are pretty resounding that Caicedo should be in there too. End of the day bunch of YouTubers so who really cares about their opinions, but it goes to show (along with the comments) that Rice isn't one of the first names...

    I totally forgot Mario Balotelli. For all his faults he too was an elite penalty taker. Didn't take many for us but I recall a fair few quality ones for Italy, Milan, and Nice. Edit: that just reminded me of a save Mattia Perrin made from a Balotelli pen while at Genoa. Talk about promising...

    Shearer was quality at pens, just had a tendency to blast it with the laces. While we're on the topic.. if I had to pick any prem player to take a penalty to save my life it would have to be James Milner. For a long time there he was cold as ice from the spot, probably still is. Yaya on that...

    Seems a deal between LFC and Bournemouth is advancing for Kerkez. Player has agreed to the move. Not sure how to feel about if after the Frimpong signing. Clear indication that we're going to be an extremely aggressive side next season. Glad we're getting business done early though

    I really hope this is bait. The PR hype around Rice is unrivalled. I guess the starting point would be does he come in for Gravenberch or Caicedo, in your view?

    Well done Palace, great result!! Magic of the cup and all that. As for City... about time VAR caught up with ya's :laugh: cop that.

    My crack at a final EPL team of the season (433 formation to reflect the champions formation) : GK: Sels RB: Livramento CB: Konate CB: Van Dijk (c) LB: Robinson DM: Gravenberch (YPoTS) CM: Mac Alliser CM: Caicedo RW: Salah (PoTS) ST: Isak LW: Cunha Not many standouts on the left wing that was...
