is it fixed yet. I threw my phone out the window when elon stuck that rate limit on

I heard Elon say that Twitter couldn't handle all the API requests and it was specifically coming from plane tracking tweets.

United in danger of being left even further behind. City, Arse and Pool all buying well. Behind Newc maybe also??

What are the odds of a striker for United or are we going to panic buy at the end?

I think we'll end up using a mix of Rashford and possibly Hojlund next season. He's raw and not completely ready yet but he's had the strongest links.

Things could change though, actual rumours from our club seem to have dried up a lot the last few years since the social media obsessed banker left. It's all coming from agents/other clubs now.

all that information, but no name?

We got Bart, from reading around he seems a very good prospect that I’m surprised we’ve managed to bring in.

Is anyone actually interested? Seems like Spurs walked away, we've moved on to Onana. Might be kind of awkward if you've already signed his replacement.

No idea - they should be. I'd rather Raya than Onana. He's genuinely an amazing player to have in goal.

He'll be on the bench or loaned out if we don't sell him by the end of August.

What have I said that's wrong about him that's wrong?

Played mostly out wide cutting in? That's where hes most effective Left and right

Can cover most attacking positions? including central

Very Hard working?

He's not great as a 8 but serviceable.

and most importantly

He's a pile of ****

I didn't state that you were wrong, although I don't think you're right. I was pointing out that an proper statto, one that does it for an actual living unlike yourself, stated that he was absolutely perfect to play as one of the advanced 8's in the system we were playing towards the end of last season.

And you're writing in poems again.

Lavia to Liverpool rumours picking up pace. Liverpool do need a DM.

Apologies for my poems

anyway provided data on were he plays and that’s mostly outwide. Breakdown over two seasons. Don’t need to be an expert to read that and I have never claimed to be. Data and stats are very accessible to anyone.

Liverpool have had a new sporting director since the beginning of the year, haven't they? They seem to be cleaning up and getting all their business done as early as possible.

Liverpool squad looks in good shape tbh. Maybe just a DM and RB needed.

He does his best work cutting in from the wing.

But is he as good as Antony?

they’ve got at least 4 already, VVD, Konate, Gomez and Matip.

I reckon a CB will be the top priority for next summers window.

Bournemouth and Leeds leading the race for Darlow.

Always liked Darlow. He deserves better than being 3rd choice that's for sure.

Mason Mount will be Player of the season for United.

Risky strategy but that's where we are, I guess.
