Kiko Casilla to Leeds is also a done deal

That sounds what they would call Ilker Cassias when Pro Evo couldn't get licensed names.

The answer is, mate, because I want to do you slowly. There has to be a bit of sport in this for all of us. In the psychological battle stakes, we are stripped down and ready to go. I want to see those ashen-faced performances; I want more of them. I want to be encouraged. I want to see you squirm.

I mean he was playing like poo poo then stepped up just before be got that ridiculous deal and has gone back to being bad so it's pretty believable. No way does he get anything like what he's on anywhere else in the world based on his last 2 season's performances

Man Utd fans for ages were like "everyone in our team is dogshit" and anyone with half a brain said "actually they're good and would be performing much better in a side that coached them properly and played them in the right position" and then the second that they do this Man Utd fans are shocked beyond belief.

January signings trying to fit into a new defensive system are a bit different than a central midfielder signed in the summer who can't complete a 10 yard pass.

I'm just saying I think it's a bit early to write off a player halfway through their first season at the club with the first half of the season being the Mourinho circus.

Surely Leeds wouldn't do such a silly thing like spend money based on future unrealised success

At least this is only spending money based on one season of imagined success, rather than based on dreaming that they’d dominated Europe for 20 years as they imagined last time.

They’re gonna go far until something pisses off Bielsa.

Darmian on loan to Juve is being reported. Allegri was hinting that something in the works yesterday, saying that Spinazzola wouldn't go on loan to Bologna until they signed his replacement.

I don't know why they just don't keep Spinazzola :shrug:

This is peak transfer stuff. KPB to come on as a sub, score a worldly, get into a fight with the staff then be banished to the reserves until his loan is up.
