A round of applause to the Manchester United social media department.\u00a0 Whoever came up with the ReUnited #Pogback campaign deserves a run out in the League Cup.<\/p>\n
The drama is over, it has been confirmed.\u00a0 Pogba has his wish and has gone back home to his \u201cfamily.\u201d\u00a0 What will we all talk about now?<\/p>\n
People are saying it was the most Mourinho day ever. \u00a0Big money spent on a ready made star whilst shipping out two young players. \u00a0Paddy and Donald, yes really, have moved to Sunderland as Moyes starts his pre-planned campaign to show he can get United into Europe by signing all their unwanted players.<\/p>\n
Not to be outdone on the day United broke records, City did a bit of pre-season shopping themselves.\u00a0 Equally drawn out but slightly further under the radar, John Stones is now playing in light blue.\u00a0 It is better for his complexion, you see.\u00a0 The cost was a mere \u00a347.5m.\u00a0 That\u2019s right Thierry, players who can defend cost less than players that attack.\u00a0 Ok, Stones isn\u2019t the finest example but watch him develop under Pep.\u00a0 He will go from a defender who loves playing it out from the back to a defender who loves playing it out from the back surrounded by better players, meaning he may not have to defend as much.<\/p>\n
People have been criticising the size of both transfers today.\u00a0 Firstly, Pogba.\u00a0 All you lot moaning.\u00a0 You are moaning on a platform called social media.\u00a0 You are using your mobile phone to write out that tweet which will instantly connect with millions of other people.\u00a0 The world has moved on, if you hadn\u2019t noticed.\u00a0 Prices have gone up, and although I hate putting it in the \u201cpercentage of annual turnover\u201d context because, frankly, it makes me look like a bit of a tool, it\u2019s something like 32% of United\u2019s annual turnover.\u00a0 If you don\u2019t know what that means, don\u2019t worry.\u00a0 But it is the equivalent of when Liverpool spanked \u00a330m on Benteke.\u00a0 Hardly a problem now, is it?<\/p>\n
Let\u2019s defend Pep a little now.\u00a0 Pep\u2019s style of football is expensive, we have to accept that.\u00a0 You wouldn\u2019t ask Banksy to go out and do his thing with some crayons and model aeroplane paint, would you? \u00a0No.\u00a0 So shut up.\u00a0 Be grateful that one of the finest coaches ever is going to be directly working with one of our brightest prospects every day, and Raheem Sterling might learn a thing or two as well.<\/p>\n
That feel\u2019s better.<\/p>\n
The John Stones domino effect will properly kick in now.\u00a0 Everton have looked to immediately replace him with Ashley Williams of Swansea.\u00a0 Swansea are using that money and the money pocketed from flogging Ayew to the Hammers to buy Atletico\u2019s Baston, a striker.\u00a0 He and Llorente could surprise a few people.\u00a0 Everton are also looking to reinvest the Stones windfall in Yannick Bolasie, meaning Palace will move for the not-so-Hull-bound-anymore Robson-Kanu.\u00a0 Palace and Liverpool were obviously reading yesterday\u2019s blog because Benteke to Selhurst Park is back on people, it\u2019s back on!\u00a0 \u00a332m looks like the fee which, unsurprisingly, is how much Liverpool wanted to recoup yesterday.<\/p>\n
Conte seems to be realised that JT\u2019s days are very much numbered and is looking at Napoli\u2019s Koulibaly to fill the void.\u00a0 If that doesn\u2019t work then he will mud wrestle Ronald Koeman for Sunderland\u2019s Lamine Kone.<\/p>\n
All these centre backs being talked about and Arsene hasn\u2019t been mentioned.\u00a0 Well, the Arsenal manager may not have to dip into the savings after all as Gabriel has said he \u201cfeels a lot better\u201d following his weekend injury.\u00a0 So Evans and Mustafi would be wise not to wait by the phone then.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
