West Ham selling Haller to Ajax for €25m

West Ham selling Haller to Ajax for €25m

Haller was superb with Jovic and Rebic at Frankfurt. All of them were sold for big money and none of them set the world on fire anywhere. I genuinely wonder if we sold one of the front 3 how’d they get on separated from each other and the “system”

Arsenal have taken out a short-term £120m loan to help deal with the impact of the coronavirus pandemic.

The club say they "met the criteria set by the Bank of England for the Covid Corporate Financing Facility" and a loan which is repayable in May 2021.

It's going to take a long time to scroll back through my timeline for arsenal fans giving us **** about trying to furlough a few dinner ladies, but it might be worth it.

So basically they have taken an advance on the prize money for this year? What if the season is delayed - where they getting the money from then?

not a bad shout.

Each of them are top class but that is because Jurgen has created this unbelievable partnership amongst them. The clear rivalry between Mane and Salah possibly adds to that too.

My guess is that they would all do well in new teams but not as good as what we have seen. Firmino might be the one who would struggle a little - because the team formation and tactics really need to be set up for him to do well.

Oddly as well, i think it might be Firmino that is most difficult for LFC to replace. So much so that if Jurgen decided to build a new team before he left, we might end up changing the way the team sets up - more to a traditional #9 (a-la Dortmund when he had Lewandowski)

I think Mane would do the best if moved - Salah then and Bobby needs the formation to suit him. Remember Brendan tried to play him wide.....uuuurgh

£120m is loose change to Stan Kronke

But he's decided to go to money markets instead of financing it himself so maybe he isn't keen to chuck it in.

Can't believe Sheffield Utd have 2 points after 17 games.
