    We have broken our own transfer record about 3 or 4 times in the last 2 seasons. We have made an insane profit on one of our best players and have a manager with the patience to spend it wisely. His signings have nearly always been inspired.

    And on the manager. He has been pretty amazing. Arguably only City and Spurs fans wouldn't swap for him in the entire country. And that is just in this country.

    Look at Man U. They have recreated the problem they had when they had Rooney. How are they going to fit Pogba and Sanchez in the same team without ruining the impact of one of them. Arsenal have the same issue. Chelsea are a strange team with fluctuating results. Spurs a re pretty solid and sensible () but Real will want their manager soon. City are financially able to out manouver anyone (though our record signing is at a higher value than theirs).

    The glass is very half full from where I am sitting.
    Good post mate

    But i do feel like we are accepting selling Coutinho as some kind of masterstroke,

    I have no problems with him moving and i think we all knew he was going at some time but it is the replacement for him that is the catalyst for many of us.

    He was arguably our best player

        Good post Buzzo. I was hoping/expecting that Utd had yet again bought another ageing mercenary to fit into an unsuitable outfit and its proving to be the case. Pogba needs TWO defensive midfielders behind him. So with Sanchez having to start games that means dropping Martial (Rashford already been dropped).

        Its all a mess. At least with Klopp there is a plan - even moving Mane to the left despite some people's reservations here about that. If we could cut out the unnecessary sideways passes against minnows then we'll be laughing. Matip's performane in the last game showed we may be changing that tact. VVD also likes to stride forward Rio-style to break the ranks.

                              Missed a ****ing sitter too when he decided not to stoop and head the ball.

                              We will need some beef behind him to get the best out of him. Love the way he always looks forward.

                                They can take solace in the fact RB finishing in the top four will cost us more.
