Quote from: Look-Up! on August 10, 2025, 05:47:58 PMSesko in for Utd. Similar trajectory to Hojlund in learning their trade in Austrian league, think he's actually a little younger too. But they'll be hoping he's a huge upgrade. In fairness to Hojlund, being dropped in it as the main man at Utd was too much too soon. Huge pressure and step up for the Slovenian but those extra couple of seasons at Leipzig should be a massive help.

Newcastle finding it tough to attract players despite CL participation. PSR rules mean they can't spend their money, which talks loudest end of the day. Isak acting up big time too, looks to be doing his best to burn bridges. Buyer beware. Could be a tough league season for their squad and manager especially with CL commitments.

Huge day for Utd ex Henderson in Wembley. Liverpool be hardly too disappointed, lots of quality there but may take time to gel.

First few weeks will be interesting and lots still to happen with transfers too.

Newcastle wealthy club however don't seem to have the smartest people over transfers? Meanwhile other wealthy clubs Chelsea,Manchester City find loopholes as they continue to spend big.

Didn't even know the Charity Shield was on today or whatever it's called now. 

New signings might improve on what was uninteresting Premier league campaign last season that had no title or relegation race.

big Calves Grealish making his way the Merseyside blues..

Everton must have destroyed their pay structures to secure him, even if it is on loan.

I hope he comes good there. He'll certainly get more gametime at Everton with Ndiaye going more central hopefully.

Now get that Southampton lad Dibling in as well.

Ruined by Pep, will never be the same marauding maverick he was at Villa, was top class for a good while, England in their wisdom overlooked him at his best and picked him at his most mundane, go figure

Blowitupref

Jack Grealish on a loan deal with £50m buy option clause.
Is the ref going to finally blow his whistle?... No, he's going to blow his nose

From the Bunker

It's sad that he (and Rice) did not stick with Ireland. But naturally their agent got in their ear.
Once he left the Ireland set-up - There was never going to be much caring about his football career for me.

Seems to be one of the few footballers with personality, obviously still bitter that he chose England over us, but I wish him well. Pep killed his career.

He always seemed like a good cub. He has a sister with cerebral palsy.

I think it is a great move for Everton, they are getting a player who will be hungry to play and prove himself ahead of a world cup.

I would imagine that City are covering most of the wages and with no pressure to go through with the deal at the end of the loan.

I would think this probably scuppers the deal for the young lad from Southampton though as they are very similar players.

Grealish at Villa was one of the best things about football.

Will he have the energy / interest to regain most of that level and become a man to build a team around? It's doubtful, but I really hope he does well.

Going to a good manager who should be able to get the best out of him if he can stay fit.

Doubt Moyes will play him in the marauding playmaker role he had at Villa, expect Moyes to put him on the left wing to cut in as he did at City as Moyes tries to evolve Everton to a possession team

Everton's best player , N'Diaye, plays on the left. I expect Moyes will play Grealish as a 10.

Allegedly N'Diaye plays on the right for Senegal, so that'll work fine although N'Diaye has also played in the middle, just off the striker for Everton also.




Captain Scarlet

I know he is a serious shot-stopper but the Donnaruma to City chat doesn't make huge sense in terms of what Pep wants. And I said it a while back on this thread their defence is lacking pace, especially in the middle.

Just Dias, Stone and more are fond of an injury too. Maybe I missed some incomings but they don't seem to be doing much business there.
them mysterons are always killing me but im grand after a few days.sickenin aul dose all the same.
