The Transfer Thread

Re: The Transfer Thread

Regardless of what other people say, if you're at all unsure, I would just try a couple clubs on for size as part of the process. I ended up supporting Arsenal because my first experiences with the game were via the '98 World Cup and Thierry Henry being a spectacle, then I found out he played for Arsenal, and that's how I ended up here, thankfully also ended up agreeing with the club on much of it's philosophy.

Either way, each club has a history, and outside of Everton right now, many of them have outward philosophies you can balance against the things you believe/think you believe right now. I re-assessed everything in 2010 when I started to deep dive into the sport and really get stuck in, and if you want a hilarious story, I went from Arsene Wenger's Arsenal, to Tony Pulis' Stoke City, which coincided with the one year Stoke managed to make the FA Cup Final, also the two clubs and managers could not be more different philosophically. Gave up after a season because it wasn't fun, even though the club were winning at the time, and if you're not enjoying the club winning, what's the point of supporting?

But yeah, tl;dr, try a few look at their history, what they believe in, and choose from there is my suggestion, you may even end up back at Leeds.

Oh yeah. I didn't say it but Leeds would just be like a casual fling. They're going to be like the somewhat ugly girl I get friendly with so I can get in with her hot friends to continue that relationship analogy lol

The American midfield is going to give me reason to watch, and in doing so I get exposed to different clubs. Mostly right now I'm just watching the marquee matchups each week. Figure instead I'll make a point to watch every Leeds match I can and eventually if I gravitate towards another club then so be it.

Anyway you can't go wrong with whoever you end up rooting for no matter the reason. After all I like the Steelers because Rod Woodson was a beast in Tecmo Super Bowl back in the day lol.

In college sports I like Florida St just because when I was a little kid I thought the war chant and chop was the coolest thing ever

Re: The Transfer Thread

The Leeds coverage will be overkill but the Americans they signed have and will improve the squad. Remember last season, yes they sacked Bielsa in a last gasp attempt to stay up but they did nothing with the squad in the winter when they were in obvious trouble. It's kind of amazing they are still in the Premier League.

For that kind of $ I don’t think he’d mind playing for Tony Pulis

Mac Allister will have a medical at Liverpool. £55M fee and a contract through 2028. This is a real nice piece of business.

That was Thiago really, but he can only play 2 games in a row before missing a month lol

Really puzzling some of the players that were kept while letting Gini leave on a free. The guy was available all the time, first of all. His move was bad for both Liverpool and him. He absolutely should have been re-signed.

Re: The Transfer Thread

Mac Allister fee is actually only £35M? What a steal

Re: The Transfer Thread

Tonali to Newcastle €70m is the stick I'll smack people on the head with then they tell me that Newcastle can't do whatever the **** they want.

Newcastle United, yes, Newcastle just brought in Sandro Tonali. I'm sure he's excited to live in beautiful Tyneside for the next several years.

Supposedly Tonali broke down crying when he was informed he was being sold to Newcastle. But Milan couldn't turn down the money.

Mid crying did he realize he could just refuse to agree to personal terms?
