My hope is that Minamino is for squad rotation like Shaq and Origi, my fear is that he'll replace Mane or Salah. Either way these days I have a lot of faith in Klopp and the club's transfer acumen and their ability to get the best out of players, so I'm pretty hopeful.

Can was mostly mediocre but would inexplicably score a worldie like twice a year.

I've said it before but the thing to understand about Can (at least at Liverpool, I haven't seen him since he went to Juve) is that he has unshakable self-confidence and believes he's an amazing footballer, but he isn't. So he'll try dribbling around ten players and lose the ball, he'll try ambitious 50-yard through passes that go straight out of play, and he'll take ten long shots a game that fly into the stands. But like once every few games one of those things works and he looks like a top top top player for five seconds. You could make a great highlight reel of Can's occasional best moments, but actually watching him for a full game 90% of what he does is lose the ball and foul people.

This Ashley Young thing reminds me of when Aurelio's contract expired and he left Liverpool and then like a month later Hodgson panicked and re-signed him because they weren't able to find another left back other than Konchesky lmao

Maybe it's just me but if I were a 16-year-old footballer and I wanted to reach my maximum potential I wouldn't sign for today's Manchester United.

Hello 16 year old footballer, how would you like to earn £30k a week? He's probably on £1k a week or so now at Birmingham, maybe less.

If he's actually that good, he could probably earn 30k/week at a different club.

None of Juve's transfers that seemed like almost sure things a few days ago are going to happen, it seems. The De Sciglio for Kurzawa deal is dead, the Pjaca move to Cagliari is dead, and Juve are holding out for €30m for Emre Can, but Dortmund aren't interested at that price.

It's mostly about clearing out dead weight and balancing the books, but it sounds like that is a fairly urgent need for FFP.

tbh Juve should probably be paying Dortmund 30m to get rid of Emre Can
