can some west ham fans post some some tables re: how the gently caress their 70 players are supposed to line up

also can the dildo brothers buy joe hart please

hell, i'll bite. if you're expecting all 7 new signings to start itll be

fabianski
fredericks balbuena diop cresswell
noble kouyate wilshere
yarmolenko arnautovic anderson

but i doubt all 7 of them will be starting every game early doors.

keep in mind we don't have many good players, so even with that team its a bench of adrian ogbonna rice obiang kouyate antonio chicharito, and then gently caress all squad depth beyond that

They were rubbished when Barca were all like "£90m or gently caress off". gently caress knows what's going on now, especially with a few places starting to big up Grabara as our future permanent #1.

Also in the net column surely it should be graded as those making a profit in the green and those making a loss in the red.

Not sure where Brighton have recouped £4m from either.

I don't see a catch-all PL thread so I'm just gonna post this here because it's hilarious: https://news.arseblog.com/2018/07/arsenal-caught-up-in-weird-chinese-partner-fraud/

Apparently some lady has been posing as an executive for BYD, a Chinese electric car company, and signing fraudulent sponsorship deals, including with Arsenal.

Finding parts of this story a little hard to believe. What are the odds she actually was an executive, and BVD are taking a cheap and dirty way out of some sponsorship contracts they can no longer afford?

Indeed but I'm not going to complain. 16m€ + up to 5m€ in bonuses, apparently.

Now just need some defenders coming in. The young portuguese lad surely won't even get a look in next season, and starting the season with Young and Valencia is effectively giving up before it even starts.

Daley Blind from MU to Ajax looks like its happening

https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/daley-blind-transfer-ajax-confirmed-12932463

It's posted on their FB too but the embed poo poo doesn't work on SA. Good move for him, he has great skills but is just not physical enough for the premiere league, and MU are getting a reported 18m for a guy who hasn't seen first team play in like a year.

If Blind hadn't been glacially slow he could have been fantastic for United. Can't really blame Mourinho for him having the turning radius of an aircraft carrier.

*literally employs Nemanja Matic*

e: To be less glib:

He had a great eye for a pass and he wasn't as slow as people seemed to think. He had some decent games as a wing back in one of van Gaal's hair brained schemes. I think if he'd been given a bit more time at the base of midfield to get used to the premier league, he'd have succeeded.

Your joke post pretty much hits home why Blind was sold. Matic is a superior player to Blind in every aspect, they're both even left footed, and they play the same position. I don't disagree with what you're saying though. Blind was very good for United when he was playing in a holding role, he just never really played there for whatever reason. He was a serviceable center half and a pretty bad wing back other than being able to put in a good cross but couldn't consistently play wide because of his lack of pace.

I wouldn't have minded him sticking around in a John O'Shea role, filling in as cover as needed, but this seems more like him wanting to leave, Fellaini signing a new deal, and Ajax offering United a decent enough amount of money that it's advantageous to let him go.

Yeah basically he doesn't really fit into the way Mourinho is building the team, and he's (IMO) not athletic enough for EPL. He'll be great at Ajax, the money is right for United, and he's good enough for first team football for many other teams. I think it's a good transfer all around.
