That's the thing if I bring him in I will have to bench Isak, Wood, Mitoma or kluivert.

Have you tried that rugby fantasy by super bru ?

No, bizarrely I have never played fantasy rugby. I got into FPL about ten years ago but will take a look at it for the new season.

Yeh it's probably why they haven't offered Salah, VVD and Trent such big contracts to stay yet.

It's going to cost a lot more then they think. Projects always do. If this goes ahead, it's going to cost them so much financially, it'll be too big a burden. It's just foolish.

Going to have to start cutting the staff down to half a piece of fruit.

 

[Reiser99]

I'm sure they'll get money out of some sort of government scheme, but really nothing should go to the cost of building it from the tax payer.

Saddle the club with even more debt to build it. Something tells me this isn't going to end well either.

They could save some by not having a trophy room. It'll never be used anyway

England: Who caught Thomas Tuchel's eye and who did not?

BBC Sport looks at which players impressed in Thomas Tuchel's first two games - and who did not.

www.bbc.co.uk

Must admit I fell asleep during both games I was that bored.

Pretty much setting himself to be like Southgate. Needs to find:

-full backs who are willing to overlap the inverted wingers to create space against low block defending teams.

- a number 6 who can pass the ball forward from deep. So the team can get out of the high press against the much better teams.

He's up against it especially what is required to win a World Cup in America.
