Chelsea at 14-1 for league, if they keep their squad together and with their new signings they will go close. They did not try so hard last time under Conte, he had lost them.
Liverpool at 9-2 2f , seems everyone expects us to do it, even the bookies.

Chelsea is a good price alright.

I think I need to explain bookmaking to you though, if every one including the bookies expects you to do it, that ‘2’ just before the ‘f’ after the price, gets dropped.

Man city are odds on. Nobody expects anyone but man city to "do it". I do however expect us to challenge and finish 2nd..anything better, well happy days!

Those odds are essentially representative of a 1 in 6 chance (taking overround into account and ignoring any weight of money theory) ........... there are plenty 9/2 shots beaten ...... approx 83% of them actually.

Dortmund asking price for pulisic 60million,sounds good to me

I'd love to see this happen but I think we might be done in the market for now.

14 days til the window shuts and we've addressed the key issues with Keita, Alisson, and Fabinho whilst adding a bit of depth with Shaqiri.

If we do sign someone it's nice to know that it'll be done and dusted real quick with the clock running down now. There doesn't seem to be any leaks anymore, I'll just open Twitter in the afternoon and see Pulisic/Fekir/Dembele in a Liverpool jersey.

Have a look at blue moon and the MEN site lots of moaning City fans on there after last nights game. Taking a friendly defeat to heart then trying to console themselves that Liverpool struggled to beat their 4th team

Was fun to read, i did not see the game so can't comment but Liverpool brought in their players who went out of the World Cup earlier than city's best players so as the game went on and those better players were brought in you could be sure that they would turn the game and by the sounds of it that is what happened

Thanks for the contribution.

Impressive just how chill they seem to be about it all, in fairness.

Why not give the reason? You just create speculation otherwise...

there'd probably be more speculation if he was spotted at the airport or back in the UK without any sort of announcement.

Harry Palmr

That BVB came out with this now just after the game v Liverpool suggests they are happy to see a big offer come his way, though why they didn't just phone Klopp and Edwards is odd! Maybe they think a bidding war is possible esp as Man Utd desperately need someone quality on the flanks esp the right.

Maybe he's not sure if it's his, so not about to say "He's flying home after the birth of his first child".

He's sitting a bit outside of the group in terms of personality type/lifestyle. Mostly family men, or young guys that seem to have a level head. He doesn't seem that much like the rest of the group...

BorneTobyWilde

City only have one home game in month of Aug, just have to hope they drop some early points. A loss away to Arsenal on opening day would be very welcome.

Ye iv actually thought that about Clyne before, he seems to like the party life, or possibly got bored when injured, Wasn't he on some MTV American reality TV show where he made a weird cameo ?
I think it'll be his last season at the club

yourdeadwright

I recent weeks, he got dumped by his preggers missus for cheating and was seen in a heated argument with a male and female outside a club in Mayfair,
Possibly just a bad few weeks ,

Do me a favour. Saying the game was physical for a friendly (which it was, and good for it) & pointing out there was 2 penalty’s missed & an offside goal given is hardly moaning.

This type of posting is why this place has gone to ****. They are league champions and finished an embarrassingly high amount of points ahead of us. Don't be so small time.

Edit: Will qualify it further, we will be quite fortunate to finish ahead of them this coming season.

Ah I remember that name from way back
Agree with you and all. I'd be amazed if Liverpool challenge them this year, but I'm excited and hopeful of progress

ricero

Hopefully some of the more senior City players being a year older will perhaps get a bit leggy such as the likes of Aguero, Silva and Kompany.

Also I feel the club will focus more on finally winning a european cup so that could go in our favour.

But in fairness they have great players in reserve. I would hope this season we give them a right go but i wouldnt bet against City winning it again, that is for sure.

Blanco100

Pulisic is absolutely mad overrated. Watch alot of Dortmund aswell, dont think he particularly has that high of a ceiling either in terms of potential.

He will bring alot of marketing opportunities but i dont see anything in his make up that makes him stand out, nor does he look like a future world beater in waiting.

Dembele is twice the player he is

Turtyturd

Wouldn’t feel like a proper game against City if their fans weren’t complaining about an offside goal.

If we finish ahead of them it’ll mean we won the league

Potential Underachiever

If anyone could be bothered going on to RAWK then I'm sure you will have idiots on that posting crap about City, if a site is unmoderated that's what will happen, same as twitter etc... You would swear Liverpool fans are above that the way yous are going on in here.

Van Dijk looking a bargain, same money wanted for Harry Maguire!!

Indeed... idiots are idiots regardless what football team they happen to support. And every single clubs has loads of them.

Absolutely.

Can't beat putting fellow fans in their place though. Internet win. :cool:

Can’t believe United would actually sanction that kind of money for a defender like Maguire just off the back of a half-decent World Cup.

That whole transfer just baffles me... I just feel like I'm missing something. Sure, he's a great option at set pieces, but, like, is he a decent defender? Seems to get caught out positionally quite easily. For 20m, I'd go for him as decent backup with the possibility to improve, but for the sort of money being talked about surely you need to be getting the absolute finished product, like a VVD level guy?

But I guess everyone knows they have money, so whoever they push for they get told a ridiculous asking price?

tinpib

My gut feeling is that it all this Maguire to United talk is pure nonsense and no chance of it being true. Surely, surely????

He's a decent defender but has the turning circle of a cruise ship.

The lads on the United thread are saying that apparently LCFC are wanting £75m. Plenty of people laughing at Liverpool over the VVD fee but at least he's an excellent defender.

shamrock55

Utd getting desperate if they pay that money for that useless lump

Agent Coulson

Any chance Kelleher could end up being the number 2 keeper this season?


That would get us and Irish and Scottish player in the squad.



It really could be Our Year then.

Maguire will probably do well with Mourinho I'd say tbh

Agent Coulson

Maguire could/would/will do well playing for Jose.

However the question is how long will Jose be at Man U can he last adore than a 3rd year at a club?

His history say no.


Then where does Maguire stand at Man U and the next manager who comes in.

super_furry

Thinking on it, Mourinho’s pre-season grumps and moans could be a result of a United board not wanting to spend that kind of money on Maguire.

MaceFace

What's great about seeing Seamus with Salah and Daniel Craig with Milner is just seeing the small talk and the little bit of awkwardness about knowing what to talk about to someone you don't actually know. Really shows that behind the fame, they are just normal blokes.

He's usually won the league by now, so the question is will he hang around for longer?

5starpool

I hope there is a meltdown incoming over there, but it is still more likely that they will be an effectively functional, if not good to watch, team this season.

As for ourselves, I'm sure it'll be entertaining for neutrals, but I'm hoping we have a bit more steel and consistency about us. I'm hopeful, but still have that innate scepticism about our prospects. I do think though that Keita will be a beast for us, and I'm hoping that we have a season to match.

Not he won't.

Maguire is good at dribbling out from the back but won't be allowed do that under Mourinho.

He is also slow so will get exposed in a high line.

If Man Utd pay 65m+ it would be hillarious. I hope it happens.

Boom_Bap

Maguire isn't bad. He's a unit, wins everything in the air, isn't afraid to be physical, comfortable bringing the ball out, has a strike on him and gets the odd goal.
He has alot of the same attributes as VVD, VVD just has alot more grace in his movement and has more pace.

Is Maguire and upgrade on any of the Utd centre halves? I think he is, so I can see why they would go for him.

I would love Jose to stay at Utd for longer than 3 years.

This could be our best team assembled in the last 15 years and we could still fall short, that's just how good City are .

Imagine we get 95 points which should win the league in any year, but if city repeat last years 100 pts (I don't think they will but you never know) then nothing you can do there but say well done

I still think Citys 100 pts was an amazing tally but I would assume they will drop off say 10% this year.

I think 93+pts wins the league this year

I've a huge feeling that Jose will be sacked this season. I really think he's a has been manager and lost his reputation and respect amongst football fans.

yourdeadwright

I feel we haven't done enough in this window, I know we have spent a lot but I think we need one or two more signings
We basically
Swapped Keita for Phil, not like for like  different type of player and Keita looks awesome 
Swapped Fab fo Can , Iv said already I think Can is a better player, better suited to the Prem
Brought in Shaq which is cover we needed,
And hopefully have finally sorted our keeper,
I think we still need a Striker, a CB and attacking CM ,
We should sell Origi, Ings and Migs,
I think its the last season for  Clyne, Moreno , Lallana, Matip, Studge , Solanke , Karius
