@[email protected] just wanted to thank you for all the effort you’re putting into posting new content on this community. It’s made my switch to Lemmy a lot easier.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

All good! I love this fucking club, especially with how we're actually trying for the first time in forever, and I'm too bored not having anything to refresh on Lemmy so i'm just stealing from Twitter instead XD

You seem like an awesome person. I'm glad you're part of this community. Sometimes it feels like it's just you and me talking on threads.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Echoing what others said. Thanks for all the content. Makes me definitely less reliant on Reddit which is nice.

I just steal from twitter my man you literally got recognised by the club itself for content, I should be thanking you

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

hey now let's not be using threads

Ty tho, I'm just glad to be having fun following my club haha

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I follow from my mastodon account but sometimes post from my Lemmy account too.

Still can't believe we signed Declan mf rice

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Announce Mbappe! 🤣

Think the £200m transfer budget thing was true? With the sales pending, it'll not be impossible to keep the net spend nearby that margin.

Will we be making more signings or will we be working on the outgoings at this point?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Surely we're done by this point... surely... my heart can't take any more

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Was just saying in the other thread—We've got all this done and dusted so early, I genuinely wouldn't be surprised if there's more business to come

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

That being said, iirc TNAT said there's more

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

I can see us signing a couple of talented prospects (like that kid from Brazil who apparently Edu likes). But for big name signings, we're probably done. Though I'd personally like a bit more coverage in defensive midfield. Rice, Jorginho, and Elneny are okay. But two of them are getting older, and Elneny is now pretty injury-prone. I am concerned about Rice getting burned out.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I bet there's one more big opportunistic signing towards the end of the window

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

We still have Partey for now.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Is there any player called Ant we can sign?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Can barely read twitter while it's down but Mika Biereth has 64 now that Rice took his 41.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Wasn't Biereth on his way out anyway?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I'm thinking of a different type of treble - Conference league, Europa League and Champions League. Not asking for a downgrade - just the fact that no one's done all three yet.

I hope we replace Partey tbh. Even apart from off pitch issues, he doesn’t perform for half the season (injuries, form).

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I think with Rice rotating his injury problems will be less but he is so inconsistent. I honestly prefer Jorginho in important games cuz while his ceiling isn't as high his floor is way higher

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

And we still have Pyramid Pirlo for another season. I'm guessing he'll only be popping up in a few domestic cup matches, barring serious injuries.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I could see him in the CL group stage — just for more bangers. I may be a bit biased lol

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Ngl, disappointed that Xavi Simons would go back to PSG. Man's gonna get wasted there.
