So... newly relegated Aston Villa just got bought by a Chinese consortium led by billionaire Dr Tony Xia. Return to the BPL already imminent.

Hey Ventura, is Giroud still world-class pal?

LVG IS GONE
JOSE MOURINHO IS OUR MANAGER FOR NEXT SEASON

whoops

Mourinho will hold talks on tuesday to become new manager

LVG IS GONE THO

The way united have handled this LVG out and Mourinho in is a shambles. Everyone knew it was coming but they could have handled this much better.

Not sure about Mourinho at United. I am sure he will be a success but he doesn't like Mata and doesn't have a good record of building up youth talent. Might turn United more into a club like Chelsea or City which the fans will not like

Can't wait for the revising of history about LvG because he gave some kids five minutes, he only regularly played CBJ, Rashford and Lingard and he dropped CBJ the second Rojo was back.

That Karius deal is looking look a bargain deal.

Antoine Griezmann has indicated that he would turn down an approach from Real Madrid manager Zinedine Zidane and that talks over a new contract at Atletico are going well.

Take that Real Madrid

Why would we want Griezmann again? There's a bunch of wingers that are like Griezmann

Jose Mourinho has officially become the new Manchester United manager.

If we get Ibra now, We'll be taking that title back next season lads.

Fat Spanish Waiter just signed a new deal with... Newcastle. That's right, he got all emotional about the fan support and now he's a toon through-and-through and he is staying to drag them back into the epl.

But wait, there's more!

Fat Spanish Waiter wants to be a real manager, not just a head coach. So the new contract contains conditions giving him Complete Transfer Control. No Newcastle player will be sold or bought except with his say so. And the board are (apparently) contractually obliged to open their pockets to allow him to rebuild the squad.

But wait, there's more!

He's also been given the power to clear out not only players, but backroom staff. And he's bringing in his own people. So basically at this point, if reports are correct, Benitez has dictator like power over Newcastle Utd for the next 3 years.

Hail, Fat Spanish Caesar!

But but World Class Giroud.....

Three year contract (Thank God) with an option to extend for another year, smart move by the club, will be easy to get rid of if shit hits the fan in the third season (and history suggests it will)

Not a fan of the guy personally but he's the best guy available, he guarantees trophies and he isn't Ryan Giggs, so all good. Happy fuckin days.

Goodbye, Juan Mata! We wish you the best for your future endeavors

More than likely but he's hardly been great for us anyway and he hasn't been the Mata that we signed from Chelsea, granted he's had two horrible managers using him wrong at us and I think he'd actually work well in a Mourinho system, but oh well.

I'm interested in how the rest of the team works, I get the feeling Depay will play better if he's allowed space to run into/dribble with the ball and actually shoot, same with Herrera.

England vs Australia and Ireland vs Netherlands tonight

We still have int'l friendlies? EURO is a few days away....

Yes, teams need to finalize their squads hence the friendlies.

Tomorrow can be the best or worst day ever
