So Villa have signed Mings and El-Ghazi, who they had on loan last season, and replaced Tammy Abraham with some Brazilian from the Belgian league, thus spending £50m to make their squad slightly worse than it was at the end of the season.

this is the problem with depending on loan players

tbf its a good problem to have when it got Villa out of FFP jail and into billionaire wonderland its just funny to see a club spending so much money to stand still. Although I suppose its an upgrade on Xia's regime where they spent so much money to get worse.

Well Spurs also didn’t have their top scorer on loan and then sell the second highest score.

Last season Norwich sold their two top scorers and won the league. All the omens are lining up, Newcastle are going to win the league and get to the Champions League final.

yeah for sure the problem is when you get promoted everyone's value goes waaaay waaay up when you try to buy them. stuff like el ghazi's option to buy is smart but you can't always get it.

they also added matt targett and frederic guillbert who both appear to be better than anwar elmohamaday and neil taylor so they probably spent 70 million to get ever so slightly better

still not sure from whither the goals will come but whatever they should be able to stay up

on a similar note, it'll be interesting to see what happens now that Derby are no longer Frank Lampard's Derby County and thus, in all likelihood, won't get the same quality/quantity of loanees this season.

Wolves and Everton rumored to be in on Diego Costa, but I wouldn’t be surprised if uncle Jorge is just juicing up his value using the links to wolves.

Dude was suspended 8 games last year for talking poo poo about a ref’s mom. That’s extremely cool.

City are signing some 16 year old attacking midfielder from West Brom named Morgan Rodgers for £8 million (or maybe just £4 million, who knows). Let's hope it works out better than Patrick Roberts has, who is now 22 and on loan to Norwich City.

At least the BBC is reporting that Arsenal are still looking for a centre back who will come into the team for the coming season (although whether or not they actually buy anyone is a different matter)

The Liverpool subreddit has a thread about the betting sponsor and most of the comments are variants of:

"If you gamble its your fault you gently caress your life up"

"We have been sponsored by Carlsberg in the past so this is fine"

Standard Chartered aren't ethical either.. Neither are New Balance.. Neither are Axa.. Neither are Calsberg.. Neither are potential Nike, Addidas.. OK people get addicted to gambling its a problem but so is most other things.. Some people enjoy gambling like myself I just do it responsibly

quote:

Nothing wrong with betting companies, I'd be worried if we were sponsored by arms dealers or something but betting companies? What's the issue? If it is gambling you have a problem with, I don't really know what to say, people should be free to spend their money on whatever they wish imo. If you get addicted, it's your fault, you can get addicted to anything.

quote:

I never really understood the hate towards betting companies, or well I do, but I dont understand why it is much different from anything else. Fast food companies are advertising everywhere, and it dosent really do much good for you either and cost people quite a lot of money and are addicting aswell.

People spends thousand of dollars on traveling even tho they dont really have the money for it, but they are also tempted by the advertising. Banks are everywhere aswell, and especially the quick loan companies are imo way way worse than gambeling, cause with this you are 100% sure to lose.

I get that it's sad people are ruining their lives because of betting, but people ruin their lives on tons of things and you cant really make everything illegal because some people cant handle it.
