Since the Europa has had it's current format no one with our coefficient would have been in Pot 4. One season it would even have been good enough for Pot 2. We will almost certainly be in Pot 3.

One more joining the Promes bandwagon. That's two of us. Welcome.

Don't think they said we would sign two expensive attacking players. AR-10 said we want another two players. Guan said expensive attacking players take time to sign. So we want two new players at least one of whom will be an expensive attacker. At least that is how I interpreted it.

It is all nonsense anyway. Contract negotiations with their best player Quincy Promes (who incidentally would be an excellent Mané replacement) are stalling because he wants 3 million euros a year net (about 90k a week gross in the UK). They can't afford José even in the unlikely event that he would want to go.

99.5% p!$$ instead of the usual 95% then. Stuff is a good description because it is most certainly not beer. Interesting link, these laws on alcohol advertising have been going on for longer than I thought.

Nothing to do with UEFA. It's national laws in some countries that ban advertising of betting and alcohol. Could see it in the euros where "Carlsberg" was replaced on the advertising boards by "Probably" as in their slogan "Probably the best p!$$ in the world".

Højbjerg and Clasie should be swapped around.

A far bigger deal is made of release clauses than it should, they are mandatory according to Spanish & Portuguese law. All it means is that they have to accept a bid of that amount, not that they won't accept less. The absence of release clauses like with our players is effectively the same as having a release clause set at infinity. The player is a bit raw and makes a few mistakes at times but has everything to be a top centre back. If we want somebody who will initially be an understudy and will eventually take over from Fonte, he fits the bill and is about as good as we can get. Played a lot this year too, Sporting brought him back from his loan in January and immediately became first choice over Paulo Oliveira who has already been called up to the national team. Besides, we no longer have a player who will get sent off three times in the same season.

Are you really comparing Benfica with Bayern? Bayern will only have ready made players or ones with exceptional potencial. Talisca isn't wanted by Benfica because he isn't very good, not much better than Djuricic. There isn't much potential there. If there was Benfica would develop him themselves.

Absolutely no chance. Might not even be here by then. He was just Koeman's pet.

Why would we want a Benfica reject? He's mediocre, surplus to requirements there.

Please be us, please be us, please be us. Quincy Promes has attracted interest from 2 unnamed European clubs, who are ready to offer him the same wage he earns at Spartak

Please let this be true Tottenham's Mauricio Pochettino 'to be approached by Argentina'

Or, the most likely reason is that Puel doesn't rate Martina and he is the one that is off. Why people insist on saying that Cedric is the one being replaced I have no idea.

Knocking out Pellegrini's Real Madrid in the last 16.

That's because Lille have a very good right back in Corchia and pretty much nothing at left back. Sidibé is right footed and equally comfortable on both sides. Almost certainly being brought in to play mainly at RB.
