Sad to reach the end of the Mané era. Incredible effort and focus every match and also basically injury free. Much more likely to magic a goal out of nothing at a crucial time than Salah too, imho. This one against Bayern is one of my favourite Sexy Sadio Goals

i sincerely think bayern are going to be very happy with mane. he's excellent and if he can carry his last 6 months of form going forward he's easily one of the best players in the world.

Wasn't his drop in form before that related to long covid, or was that just an internet myth?

Even with Jesus I imagine Nketiah getting a good number of games. He had a decent run of form at the end of the season. And this is as much about using him as selling him — he’s a young English striker with PL experience and would go for a good chunk of change.

The alternative was to pay, what, £40m for some other hot prospect. This was the right decision.

Yep, this is my line of thinking as well. Even if the wages are high-ish, there ain’t a ton of strikers out there ready and willing to join a club as second banana to a £50 mil signing, that have the track record or experience Eddie already has.

And at least he doesn’t have the 30 shirt anymore. Theo Walcott wore 14, it’s fine. If you don’t like it that much, change it on FIFA or FM.

i have no real idea, but there was genuinely a few months where he was on the wing where he would run with the ball toward the corner flag, ineffectually cut back and then just run into a defender. i've got a friend on discord who tells me his Advanced Stats were still good during that time but when watched it was like he had literally no idea how to actually get something done lol

Will be sad to see him go but I get it. Seems like Conte told him he would play more last season but then refused to play him anywhere but out on the left while also never taking Son off (also understandable). If we do lose him and pick up someone like Richarlison it would be an upgrade overall though

Atalanta definitely need to get paid after their wet fart of a season. Smart move; I agree that he’ll end up leaving for more than they paid.

Raphinha to Arsenal seems to be a thing that is happening. It’s not necessarily a position where Arsenal need to strengthen, but they need quality across the board. I also guess this means Pepe is gone.

Is Pepe on massive wages too, I’d assume so given how big his transfer fee was?

They’re going to have to take a massive loss on him.

You would think he’s on massive wages but I’ve never actually heard about them being high, so I’m assuming they’re not.

And yes Arsenal will probably be paying for Pepe after he’s gone because they structured the deal to be paid over a decade or something insane.

This absolutely insane transfer dealing has actually kept inter afloat for the past year. They weren’t even able to pay their wages on time while he was last playing for them. Marotta masterclass.
