Rumours of Asensio now? Any truth to this Ed? Other than depth I don't see him being needed?
{Ed002's Note - Perhaps - he is being offered around. Would be an alternative to Antony I guess.

We’re getting the band back together.
2.) 25 Aug 2022 23:42:40
It’s what we always do. Take the “world class” players off the big sides who are on their last legs.
3.) 26 Aug 2022 01:07:45
Maybe we could finally get Kroos and Modric ?.
4.) 26 Aug 2022 01:49:50
Man 26 on his last legs ? I don't want him but he's hardly retirement age haha.
5.) 26 Aug 2022 09:51:07
On his last legs at 26?

And Martial is out again 10 weeks due to a groin issue. what's the longest this guy hasn't been injured?

9 years.

Read a social media post saying with us finishing 2nd and the reorganized schedule there is no open week for our Round of 32 Europa League games to be played. Is there any truth to this?
If so, thank you once again FIFA for the brilliant idea of a winter World Cup.

Didn't liverpool have to play 2 games on the same day, or 2 in 2 days a couple of seasons back, maybe we are headed there?
Oh well, at least there are plenty of empty stadiums rotting in the desert for the next 100 years.
2.) 05 Nov 2022 07:22:56
I saw something saying that we have a midweek game every week after the world cup until the end of the season and there is no space for the two postponed EPL games.
3.) 05 Nov 2022 09:39:47
No, of course that’s not the case, we will be playing the games as scheduled. We will have to play 3 games in a week later in the season if we get to the semi final of all competitions and need replays in all of the FA cup games, it’s just somebody trying to cause issues when there likely won’t be any. If we have to play 3 in a week it will be difficult but it will be because we have had a great season so I’m not worried.

This I will give ETH some leverage to sign a couple players in January. Whether the Glazers oblige is another matter.

Any club fighting to win trophies will have a fixture pile up and will have to dig deep.
We will be down to bare bones and tired legs on many an occasion but so will all the others.
It will be a mental game come the end of the season and for me so far that's where the team have made the biggest leap this season.
The play has improved don't get me wrong but the mentality has improved by a much greater degree.
The play and tempo and consistency will all improve in time and it will take time, and a few more personnel changes. But the mentality has already jumped very close to elite standard and quicker they we all thought I think.
The will, the desire, the courage to play and attack has improved hugely. The desire to work hard and be urgent defensively has also at a different level from last few years.
Of course we are long long way and still well short in lots of areas but attitude and will to win are attributes that can help us compete when the fixtures pile up.

Ken, good point about the shift in mentality. It does make a huge difference when the legs are tired and you need to dig deep, which like you say will almost certainly happen later in the season.
7.) 07 Nov 2022 00:26:57
Mentality helps but needs to be allied to top talent.

It's early for me here in Western Canada, but didn't he ask about De Jong? Maybe it's been edited and Ed002 responded to that.
{Ed002's Note - Very early in Western Canada.
Frenkie de Jong (CM/DM) Barcelona will look for a new contract with reduced wages else he will be sold in the summer with possible interest remaining from Manchester United if ten Hag stays. PSG have spoken with his agent and additionally his agent has raised his availability with Chelsea whist discussing another player.}

Ed002
RW, is this to move Rashford on, bring GARNACHO back to the left and call it time on the Anthony project? Or is it purely for cover basis?
As always thanks for all the info your provide.
{Ed002's Note - It will be to replace Antony.}
06 Sep 2023 12:26:29
Sell him, cut your losses on his wages and the amount they bought him for. Give Garnacho all of his game time he would have gotten along with Pellestri coming in for Antony and then Diallo when he's fit and ready again.
11 Aug 2023 14:31:19
If the transfer sum isn't outrageous he's got to be a good shout to give an actual chance. Ed I know you don't like talking money but would a reasonable amount be able to acquire him or would Bayern be looking for a very high sum to sell him?
{Ed077's Note - €30m might be the ball park figure.}

Nine Two UK Holdings Ltd is now official in the UK with Jassim as one of the directors. Make of that what you will.
31 Jan 2023 12:06:28
Initial thoughts say Late April / Early May. so that's a huge blow.
26 Aug 2022 12:20:44
Definitely not the worst game for him to be thrown into the starting XI. Soton is decent but shouldn't make it a difficult transition game from La Liga to the Prem.
