    @Astrealix@lemmy.world just wanted to thank you for all the effort you’re putting into posting new content on this community. It’s made my switch to Lemmy a lot easier.

      All good! I love this fucking club, especially with how we’re actually trying for the first time in forever, and I’m too bored not having anything to refresh on Lemmy so i’m just stealing from Twitter instead XD

    Think the £200m transfer budget thing was true? With the sales pending, it’ll not be impossible to keep the net spend nearby that margin.

        Was just saying in the other thread—We’ve got all this done and dusted so early, I genuinely wouldn’t be surprised if there’s more business to come

      I can see us signing a couple of talented prospects (like that kid from Brazil who apparently Edu likes). But for big name signings, we’re probably done. Though I’d personally like a bit more coverage in defensive midfield. Rice, Jorginho, and Elneny are okay. But two of them are getting older, and Elneny is now pretty injury-prone. I am concerned about Rice getting burned out.

    Ngl, disappointed that Xavi Simons would go back to PSG. Man’s gonna get wasted there.

        I hope we replace Partey tbh. Even apart from off pitch issues, he doesn’t perform for half the season (injuries, form).

          I think with Rice rotating his injury problems will be less but he is so inconsistent. I honestly prefer Jorginho in important games cuz while his ceiling isn’t as high his floor is way higher

            And we still have Pyramid Pirlo for another season. I’m guessing he’ll only be popping up in a few domestic cup matches, barring serious injuries.

              I could see him in the CL group stage — just for more bangers. I may be a bit biased lol

    Can barely read twitter while it’s down but Mika Biereth has 64 now that Rice took his 41.

    I’m thinking of a different type of treble - Conference league, Europa League and Champions League. Not asking for a downgrade - just the fact that no one’s done all three yet.
