If games next weekend get cancelled, then we go into the nightmare Oct / early Nov containing Sp*rs, Man City, Liverpool, Chelsea and also Wolves (A) - obviously not in the same league but a tough game nonetheless.
Probably revenge for us not signing Neto (the keeper, not the winger) and whichever other of his shitty clients we were linked with.
Rodgers almost certainly the next manager to be released at this rate.
Oh come on! No foul there.
Chelsea 2-1 WHU. Draw would be ideal.
Sp*rs on the other hand look annoyingly good. Keeping Fulham comfortably at arm's length so far.
Far too brittle a team. One midfielder and a left back out cannot mean we suddenly can't score.
ESR may be a good fit for this game with his ability to increase the tempo. Would like to see him for Martinelli at some point. Central midfield is the liability we have all known it is.
Martinez as well if you ask me.
- In Pedro Neto
He has no idea if it will happen or not, just like everyone else. What he is saying is literally true I'd think - no need to read between the lines.
At least the travel's decent (except Norway). Switzerland and Netherlands are as good it gets from that standpoint. No Eastern European travel, thankfully.
I know I'm late to the Lewandowski to Barcelona move, but isn't this a reunion for him and Auba from their Dortmund days? And if I remember correctly, Auba was on the bench till Lewandowski moved to Bayern? Wonder how they will manage them both now.
That's like one of those pick the odd man out questions from first grade - Klopp, Pep, Ten Haag and Arteta
Wolfsburg lead and should frankly be ahead by more than the solitary goal. Hope the ladies can weather the storm in this half and come out better in the second half like the previous leg.
Neves or anyone like that will not be able to replace Xhaka's physicality. While he does have the occasional error, he does win a lot of challenges because he just overpowers opponents. I'd love to see Anguissa here (old favourite of mine, but I recognize the AFCON issue) or someone of that ilk to play alongside Odegaard.
Amine Gouiri with Toney as Plan B.
Forgot my password twice over and the resetting my password through email doesn't seem to work so this is my third ID with a similar name and the same profile picture!

Then I saw this name listed amongst those youngsters we've missed out on signing during Arteta's tenure.
Don't recall having watched him at all but I wonder if he is an option.One of my favourite options for striker and one I have wishlisted multiple times on here previously. Not the most physically blessed, but superb technique and great movement. Is a Lacazette +++ - he's probably not quite as talented as Benzema, but close.

Kulusevski is going to be one of those elite among elite players, I just know it from watching him. Absolute tour de force of a footballer. He's Saka-level, which to me means he's a clear cut above guys like Sancho, Greenwood, Grealish, etc. If you have a snowball's chance in hell of signing him you go for it. He could end up being one of the defining players of this decade.
Can he play on the left of a front 3, Klaus? If he can only play on the right and cut in, aren't he and Saka competing for a place or would you then move Saka across to the left?
First priority has to be a DoF and a manager. Then comes the squad on the pitch.
