Big Sam leaves West Brom. Will front the last game at Leeds but is then gone.

And who can blame him?

I would have been happy for him to stay as he definitely improved the squad despite not making the cut.

So who comes in for us now?

Apparently Chris Wilder is the favourite. Apart from him leading Sheffield United to the bottom of the league, I know absolutely nothing about him.

Wilder also led Sheffield United to their ridiculously good season the year before.

In your head, rent free
I was almost certain Wilder would end up on Klopps staff, such was their relationship

Konate to Liverpool seems done. 30mil over 4 years making us afterpay FC again

Gini Wijnaldum to Bayern rather than Barca suggests Koeman is getting sacked
Any word on why Gini is leaving?

I assume Liverpool wouldn’t offer him a long term deal as his over 30. Will miss that guy!

Gini gone to Barca after all

Konate to LFC confirmed, he is the CB United should have signed
Konate has a shocking injury record, hopefully his worst is behind him. A cracking player, by all reports

I’d rather Kounde, but looks like we’ll get Torres which I don’t think is the right fit for a CB partner for Maguire. He needed someone who’s quick and good on the ball. Torres is a bit too similar to Maguire for mine. Kounde would of been a better fit.

If you can keep Konate fit he’s a good partner for VVD.

United have apparently pulled any interest in Harry Kane as they want to prioritise Sancho. City pretty much have a clear path now.

David Moyes back to Everton looks very possible. He hasn’t signed his new deal with West Ham yet.

for the money dortmund want for sancho i'd pass

good player but man he was no good in the buli this year

Buli?

Anyway, I thought he got better as the year went on.

My thoughts on this: I’d be ok with signing despite the ridiculous price but not if it comes at the expense of bringing in a decent CDM and CB. It’s right in the Glazers playbook to prioritise shirt sales over building a team that can compete with City and Chelsea. If they end up cheaping out on the CDM and CB for this then they’ve learned absolutely nothing.

Regarding the Euros:

Is anyone here supporting a team other then England or Scotland? Thinking of starting a Euros thread and I was going to pop up squads and fixtures for the teams that we will be keeping an eye on.

Yeah start one mate. I’ll probably go for England as they have the most players from Liverpool

Yep I’ll start one later today. Just want to see if there’s any other teams for us to focus on other then England and the Scots.
