Ummm I think I would remember us being in the final of the EL and losing on penalties Baz. Pretty sure we went out graciously just before the final in a blaze of glory to Barcelona or someone like that.

Its been a bad year as a United and England fan. I was getting genuine flashbacks to the EL final while watching the Euros final. Horror shows, both of them.

To be fair though all his outfield players took stonking penalties

Haha I love the jealousy. He has 41 assists since the 18/19 season. That's two less than Messi and the third best in Europe. 78 goals/assists since the 18/19 season which is the same as Harry Kane and equals a goal/assist per game. All while only being 21.

Do not take Southgate being a complete retard to see how good this kid really is.

Youre comparing him to Kane but the league isnt to the same standard. Excellent numbers though you cant argue against them but the opposition and intensity in the prem is a lot higher then the Bundesliga.

Itll be interesting to see how he gets on.

Robbo · 23 Jul 2021 at 15:33

Really hoping he has a big impact, exciting signing.

More needed though.

robfosters · 23 Jul 2021 at 15:54

Really hoping he crashes and burns.

Oof, Ramsdale really got you triggered huh

As far as these things go, he's a reasonably safe bet, the fact he's English is a decent start, unlikely to have any troubles adapting (not that many really do).

People who regularly watch the Bundesliga (I won't pretend I watch it an awful lot) really rate him highly.

What jealousy?

I state again nothing I have seen makes me believe he is worth that and I've seen him a lot more than benchwarming at the Euros, he has good numbers in a not so great league but then again so did Pepe (mind you he did beat VVD once!), he like Pepe is young so may well develop into something great but I don't think currently he's worth £73m call that jealousy if you want but it's my opinion and the fact you do looks as if you think because Man Utd got him everyone wanted him which I don't think is the case.

Can't see that happening, I think he'll be a decent signing and have a good career I just don't think he's currently worth the £73m Man Utd have paid (plus I bet his wages are massive) but as I don't contribute to Man Utds income it doesn't really affect me

Robbo · 23 Jul 2021 at 16:23

I actually think £73m is a pretty good price by modern standards.

Pepe is 26, think his time has gone

robfosters · 23 Jul 2021 at 16:46

I’m looking forward to Pepe this season. He started to look a lot better towards the end of last season. Looked like he found his confidence at last.

Shamikebab · 23 Jul 2021 at 16:55

Pepe's record wasn't even close to Sancho's in a smaller league though

Robbo · 23 Jul 2021 at 16:59

Pepe is 5 years older and looked comically poor most of the time, don't think it's a fair comparison at all.

omnomnom · 23 Jul 2021 at 17:01

Sancho was playing in a better team then Pepe but the comparisons wild anyway.

Pepe's figures were not even on the same league as Sancho. Arsenal just got bantered as always by Lille.

He has two assists less than Messi since 18/19 season. Spanish league is pretty comparable to German League not that the German League is that weak anyway.

Everyone said the same about Fernandes stats since he was playing in the Portuguese league but look how that turned out.

The only thing that will annoy me is if Sancho does take us up a gear as if we had him last season then you have the potential that we might have challenged better for the league.

BaZ87 · 23 Jul 2021 at 17:12

Journo's close to Liverpool are reporting that Harry Wilson's not involved in our friendly today with a deal to Fulham close to being done.

I honestly wasn't sure if you were having a dig at Ole or if you just couldn't remember

Looking forward to seeing Sancho in the PL!

Imagine if Kane does go to City for big money. First game of the season when he fires one in against Spurs. :eek:

The standard of the Bundesliga is poor bar a few games a season. Youd have lower league team like Palace pushing for Europe over there lmao.

I’m obviously not a big fan of City, but it would be quite cool to see Kane linking up with De Bruyne from a pure football enjoyment perspective.
