@joelbeya All three have or are looking to sign premier league proven midfielders. Guimaraes to Arsenal, Anderson to City and Tielemans to United. All three great midfielders. Perhaps City and Arsenal went for more talented players but Tielemans will work hard and I think is a good signing
After the Tielemans signing this morning, it really makes me wonder where the market is at. If Guimaraes is valued at 50/60 million by Arsenal and Tielemans is 35 million. Tonali and Anderson seem way overpriced. Great player sure but surely that’s not market value?
@DeadlineDayLive Mount is a great squad player to have. Perhaps not worth all of the money spent on him. However when he plays you do see a player in there and many (maybe not Chelsea fans) want to see him come good. Always hard to get into the team when he is competing with Bruno
@AdamMcKola I hate to say it and will probably get slagged for it. But very much how United should be operating. To quote every single pundit on the planet “this is Manchester United we’re talking about”
@franchiseford For the price plus prem proven. Also I think Carrick is not trying to replace Casemiro but instead get someone to compliment Mainoo. Two box to box midfielders
@AdamMcKola I think Carricks goal definitely isn’t to replace Casemiro but instead to get someone to run alongside Mainoo. Two box to box type midfielders
@NathSalt1 Seems like Spurs are having a very 2018 Manchester United transfer window and Manchester United are having a very Spurs 2018 Transfer window
@TurkTalksFC Seems very much like last seasons pattern of going for premier league proven players who are dying to play for United. Also seems as though the club have somewhat of a plan to target certain areas of the pitch in one go. Midfield this season it seems
Seems as though United have a plan this transfer window which very much matches last season. Focus on one area of the pitch and sign players who want to play for United. Not just big name or large transfer fees
FIFA President Gianni Infantino:
“I have seen the public comments regarding the decision of the independent FIFA Disciplinary Committee related to the suspension of Folarin Balogun, and I would like to reiterate a fundamental principle of FIFA’s governance.
“FIFA’s judicial bodies are independent. They operate autonomously, apply the FIFA Disciplinary Code, and decide cases based on the applicable regulations and the specific facts before them. Their independence is essential to the credibility and integrity of football, and this must always be respected.
“Yes, I regularly discuss matters related to the FIFA World Cup with the President of the United States, and on this matter, I did receive a call from President Donald Trump, just as I receive calls from heads of state, government officials, football stakeholders and business executives from around the world on many different issues. During our conversation, I explained that there was an ongoing legal process involving FIFA’s independent judicial bodies and that the case would be decided in due course by the competent bodies. That is how FIFA’s system works, and it is a principle that I will always uphold.
“I read the decisions of the FIFA Disciplinary Committee when they are issued. Sometimes I am surprised by them. Sometimes I agree with them, and sometimes I disagree.
“What I always do, however, is respect those decisions and the autonomy of the bodies that make them. Whether we personally like a decision or not is irrelevant. Respect for independent institutions and the rule of law is what protects the integrity of our competitions and the credibility of FIFA at all times.”
I’ve seen a few people say that this red card being overturned shouldn’t surprise us due to FIFA’s known corruption. I get that but I don’t think we’ve ever seen it affect on the pitch matters before. That’s where the surprise is
