And what was our response to struggling with two slowish centre backs? We went and bought a faster one.

Kane must have been crying into his bowl of lucky charms hearing Jack had taken his move to city, unlucky Harry, another year of mediocrity and no trophies.
It wasn’t long ago you said Maguire was up there with Van Dijk when I called him a fridge…now you’re struggling with two slow cbs?

I never said his pace wasn't his weakness, not sure where you're pulling that from. Doesn't stop him being one of the best defenders in the world as he showed in the Euros (funnily all the haters went very quiet when he started doing it for England)
Well firstly he isn’t one of the best defenders inthe world but for arguments sake let’s go with it…if he is why do you have to sign a faster cb to compensate for the fact that he has a turning circle of a tank? If you need to sign a player because of another’s glaring weakness I.e their pace and positioning then he isn’t up there with the likes of Van Dijk.

So Vidic and Ferdinand were no good then? They complimented each other's weaknesses perfectly.

VVD pre injury had no weakness. Lets see how a 30 year old returns after a massive injury.

Messi crying at his press conference because he won't accept a normal footballer's salary. aww diddums.
Hold onto that hope Adam. Maybe if half the City squad do their ACL and Utd spend another £400m then you might believe the League will be a fair competition this year

Lol what a proper cringe fest that was!
Gutted to be leaving, how about not asking for £100 million a year then? If he loved the club that much he'd take whatever paycut it took to get them out of the situation they're in!

Given they can't afford to register Depay and Aguero it would take a pay cut of around 100%.

Let's not fall for the crocodile tears, he was all set to leave 12 months prior until he read his contract and couldn't leave.

Sure BaZ or someone else will correct me if I'm wrong but not sure he could.
His contract expired on 1st July so he's a free agent and Barcelona would have to register him again which they can't do unless they get their wage bill down.

Which kind of begs the question why were they signing new players when they can't afford them even without by far the biggest wage earner off their books?!
Were they really staking the whole house on the ESL that much?
dont see that happening
inter have lost lukaku why would they then Sell their other best striker
