Does anyone, including managers/execs, really have any idea how FFP really works? Feels like UEFA makes it up as they go tbh

good poll

Cesc is fantastic, but always runs out of gas midway through the season.

Every year around February he is The invisible man

Cesc is already in January mode and September just started

Really frustrating watching him misplace even basic passes this season. The dude has never been that quick, but he looks super slow out there, especially against Crystal Palace

His reasoning for City's B- is 

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

MERSE SAYS: I like the signing of Fabian Delph, but I think Raheem Sterling and Kevin De Bruyne are pathetically over-priced. They have spent £54.5m on De Bruyne - and he's a player they don't really need. That position wasn't on their hit-list and now someone like Samir Nasri isn't going to get a game, which is phenomenal for me. They have bought well, but I am going to give them a B- for the money they have had to pay.

Paul Merson played during a time period where football was a lot different to say the least lol

Who does everyone have to win the Champions League this season?

 

[rolaholic]

There's only 3 realistic options for me but I'm always up for a surprise. Those 3 would be Barca(although they've started the season looking a bit sluggish,especially defensively),Bayern and PSG. Real should be in the mix as well as usual but I don't see them as one of the main threats to win it all this year imo.

 

[Trey Bantz]

I agree with Liverpool's transfer window grade. They sold high and didn't spend in excess. On-field product is another story.

LvG seems to make things personal

DDG "byke"

I've started to feel sorry for VV tbh , especially after it came out that he's been trying to repair his relationship with LVG to no avail.

Dude is stubborn as a mule,once he gets something in his head,it'll take drastic circumstances to change his mind

I couldn't even answer the poll.

If it were any other year, or any other time - I would have voted for Arsenal, 9/10 times. But after seeing what Manchester United (arguably the Biggest Club in the world) did this summer, and especially what happened these final weeks - I had to vote for them. I don't like what they're turning into.

Unfortunately, Arsenal not making any signings or not investing to win the EPL has become so god damn normal it's a way of life. It's not pathetic to me anymore, it's just an unbreakable characteristic - Wenger is who he is, he'll never change

 

[fuser86]

We are on the same boat. Those 3 teams are my top contenders to lift the cup but I have a good feeling PSG will do it this season

 

[fransanity217]

I don't think PSG has enough depth.

 

[Trey Bantz]

Yeah I am still not sold on PSG. They're close, but I don't see them being on the same tier as Barca, Bayern, and RM.

 

[ootherocoo]

Who does everyone have to win the Champions League this season?

1. Bayern

2. Barça

3. Real Madrid

4. PSG

 

[rolaholic]

only 33m net spend...not bad

It's there. They didn't really lose any key players and only added Trapp,Kurzawa,Aurier permanently,ADM and replaced Cabaye with Stambouli. They're a pretty deep team and look stronger than recent PSG squads on paper.

de Gea has been named in United's Champions League squad.

EDIT: Oh, I didn't see eiddy's post.


Eden just admits that he isn't a prolific goalscorer like Messi or CR7.
