    This transfer window is amazing for pure football reasons.

    You think so? i dont see it.
    City and Chelsea are easily the favorites

    I think you plug him in at city as just a striker and he fits right in. At united, i'm not sure what exactly you do with him. They already have a lot of options up front. This seems like a move for the sake of making a move.

    Yeah, I was getting used to Bruno as a false 9.

    It will take at least until Christmas for Ole to settle on a rotation and for the chemistry to be there, but yes, I think United are a top contender in both the Prem and Champions league.

    deleted the tweet

    Villarreal was about to win 2-1 on the road against Atletico Madrid... and then they scored an own goal in the 96th minute to turn that result into a draw.

    Hard to tell but I think it also just caught the keeper in between steps. Wasn't a bad idea...just terribly executed.

    You are not supposed to head the ball TO the goal if you can help it......that was super unfortunate.........

    Real just signed Camavinga for €31M, guess they probably can't/won't pay for Mbappe. Would be hilarious if they just signed him for free on January 1st.

    I think they're going to. It's not like they didn't make a fair offer for a player that can sign for free in Jan. Dumb of PSG to not take it from a financial perspective. Maybe they figure their window to win the CL is this year and need Mbappe to do it.

    Watching Sky Sports...

    Real have walked away from an apparently €220 million offer to PSG because they're dragging their feet. They'll sign him in January for free.
