@AdamJoseph A lot can happen in 12 hours aye?

[Adam @AdamJoseph]

Aurelien Tchouameni to Manchester United starting to pick up serious momentum. Much like the Ederson deal when the news was coming from Italy, this is from Spain. The club doesn't leak the same now, so the information is coming via the player & his club.

The club having representatives travel to Madrid to speak to Real (reported by the same source as here), to their existing relationship with his management ESN, they don't do it unless they have encouragement from the Tchouameni camp.

Hopefully people realise eventually what that wages story actually was.. if it's not clear already. It's lining up.

@AdamJoseph Weren’t you rimming the club for not paying up for Anderson and Fernandes? If you want your top targets, you’ve gotta put the money down

[The Maltese Falcon @MattTHFC1882]

@CShredwards @yzhang390 @itsbrianbarrett The CBA is far from a mistake…

The NBA helped its owners set what is effectively a hard cap and created a bunch of rules that create parity.

Now we’ll see in the long term if the NBA has cannibalised itself by implementing these rules, but none of this was unintended…

@Bryanrobsonno7 @__scottsaunders No club had the opportunity to buy Kane for 65M euros, certainly not any English clubs

[The Maltese Falcon @MattTHFC1882]

@NathanAClark @pugtastrophe The demand for his services cancelled any leverage the buying club would have. United could’ve played the long game with West Ham if we weren’t interested, but as soon as there were two clubs that were desperate to buy him, the selling club gains all the leverage.

@VictorDreyer10 @TheSpursExpress @TomAllnutt_ @hirstclass Odobert won’t play until late 2026 at the earliest… even if he wasn’t injured, we’d need to upgrade one of those guys

[The Maltese Falcon @MattTHFC1882]

@SaintDyl99 @TheSecretScout_ Those moves were the catalyst for changing our youth structure, club realised they had no choice but to stump more cash to attract and/or retain quality youth prospects

[The Maltese Falcon @MattTHFC1882]

@NoContextCounty He’s certainly not as good as English fans make him out to be. That’s before you consider the fact that he’s a manipulative cunt.

[The Maltese Falcon @MattTHFC1882]

@broncos314 @AndrewDBailey That’s not to mention his injury history…

[The Maltese Falcon @MattTHFC1882]

@JCigan @will_nba_hater Yeah because the Celtics were offering Jaylen for Giannis. Portland don’t want to put any of Deni/Camara/Clingan on the table for Jaylen…

[The Maltese Falcon @MattTHFC1882]

@NicNegrepontis They’re trading for Jaylen soon

[The Maltese Falcon @MattTHFC1882]

@outbreezyWC No shame in getting blanketed by the 2026 rising star

[The Maltese Falcon @MattTHFC1882]

@A_SHsports @NBABabySecret Sam doesn’t watch games, this is a pure stats and vibes board

[The Maltese Falcon @MattTHFC1882]

@7AFL And yet despite all of this, he’ll have a crack at players that are still considered teenagers…

[The Maltese Falcon @MattTHFC1882]

@NBABabySecret I feel like every time you tweet this, something good follows. Fingers crossed that continues to be the case, however I don’t see how we acquire players the create more dunks and layups than JB…

[The Maltese Falcon @MattTHFC1882]

@The_PrenderCast @WeAreTheOverlap Show is far better now that they’ve cycled through all of their United mates

[The Maltese Falcon @MattTHFC1882]

@JoshJenkins24 Can’t tell what’s a worse take. This tweet or the one I’ve quote tweeted below…

Heat have always been just as good, if not better, when Herro isn’t playing. Don’t get me started on Bobby Portis…

[Josh Jenkins @JoshJenkins24]

1-8 is BAD.
But were they ever gonna be much better than that!?
Under Voss, MOST wins would’ve featured prominent games from TDK + CC.

The group is the most unathletic, powerless (opposite of powerful) group you’ll see.

12 recycled players last week, none make a difference

[The Maltese Falcon @MattTHFC1882]

@krispursiainen Sixers wouldn’t trade Maxey for Luka

[The Maltese Falcon @MattTHFC1882]

@ProspectWatch44 @elitetakes_ Celtics clinched the title at 15-2

[The Maltese Falcon @MattTHFC1882]

@AflGlicko Surprised Matt Carroll didn’t make this list
