    Chelsea will be fine.
    They'll get another manager & win the league again (or some other trophies). Then they'll fire him the following season or he'll leave.
    It's short term but it seems to work for them.

    Arsenal, maybe.
    Wenger winning stuff means he sticks around, which is good for anyone except Arsenal fans.
    They seem to be after some good players, but I don't see how Wenger can make the team good enough to challenge for the title.
    He couldn't do it with Ozil & Sanchez in the team.

    Sorry to disappoint you, Inty, but @epic has given in and accepts Pogba is bang average under Mourinho. Luckily for him, Mourinho will be gone in the next 18 months.

    One thing, staright away from that article. If Sanchez is worth 500K a week, what the hell is DdG worth?

    My take away from that article is, if Everton are 20th in the world in revenue, what in the hell are they doing with that money? Buying nose candy?

    Seriously overpaying for goal keepers and people named Gylfi.

    what is this SPI nonsense? they have 5 PL clubs ahead of United (including Arsenal ffs), even though were second. OK. Dortmund are 6th in the Bundesliga.

    also what time frame are we talking here? we did lose the greatest manager of all time n all. that tends to play a factor in rebuilding.

    Rebuilding does take time. And so far, so, so good.

    Dortmund have scored a goal in the first half for the first time in seven games!

    Edit: and then promptly conceded. [face_relieved]

    hopefully reus returning soon will give them some much needed good luck.

    i'd look for a cash + player swap with arsenal if this auba deal materializes. top 4 in bundesliga looks like a tough fight this year that they're still in, at full strength.

    So Liverpool lose to the two bottom PL sides & concede 4 goals in a week.

    Seems that £75million isn't good value so far.

    All riding on the CL.
    Klopp needs to start winning stuff if he's going to spend the sort of money the other clubs are.
    And actually work on defending on the training ground.

    top 4, hadn't lost in 18 games prior to swansea, and they're the only ones who have beaten citeh

    wouldn't be too worried

    does beating City give them more than 3 points or something?

    Typical Liverpool. Beat good teams one week, lose to crap the next. Adding a £75m defender and expecting him to resolve issues is futile when the issues come from the manager’s set up in the first place. His style works well to beat a possession based team like City, but it won’t win Liverpool the league - that’s for sure.

    And for all the talk about the poor defending, jeez their midfield ain’t too great either, and offer no support to their defenders. But they’ll keep banging in goals though, I guess that makes everything OK

    Oh and lol @ Liverpool lol @Diggy
