Thoughts on the Ward-Prouse rumors? It's a transfer that doesn't really make any sense to me.

The reasoning behind it is because Grealish wins so many free kicks for us, having a dead ball specialist like JWP to take advantage of that would be great. I think that's about it.

I think he'd be a good addition but I don't see Southampton letting him go for anything less than silly money, and we already have an abundance of midfielders.

Looks like Donnarumma is gonna go to PSG to be Navas’s backup? Seems like career suicide but I guess he’s getting whatever insane salary he wanted and Raiola is getting his fee.

Navas is 34 and has maybe a year or two left tops before he’s cycled out imho, not necessarily a bad move

The window has been flung open. I'm on my phone but pretend theres a stock image of an open window here. Already I've seen reports that haaland is going nowhere and also that he wants to leave and Chelsea have put in a £170m bid. Transfer season best season

Granit Xhaka is

a) a very good player who looks poo poo because he plays for Arsenal
b) the kind of aggro-oval office that Mourinho loves.

He'll do well at Roma

No lol. And then fans and pundits will just move onto hyping up someone else than Man Utd absolutely need to take things to the next level, and he costs £150m and why doesn't Woodward or his successor just spend some loving money for a change?

Ange rules and has been very successful everywhere he's been but he needs several months before he really starts getting results, I doubt he'll get that time at Celtic though

Emiliano Buendia to Villa is a done deal.

Basically yeah, it's a huge pressure job and fans will want him to both totally revamp the squad and have us playing attractive football and also win the league against a team that just went the season unbeaten. If we're not top by Christmas, or if we're struggling before then, the fans will want him gone.

Which is frustrating, it's not like Gerrard was an instant success either, he had three seasons to build the team he wanted. Ange won't get that.

Could be, Smith said he sees Buendia as either wide or a number 10 so we've got a lot of options at least. Personally I'd like to see McGinn just behind those three because I think he's wasted when he plays deeper and I think Traore is too inconsistent to rely on every game.
