Rashford has been confirmed with a double stress fracture in his back. I would be amazed if he plays again this seasons, a double stress fracture means you pretty much can't move in any direction, flat out bed rest and very hard to keep muscle conditioning for the rest of your body. My brother did his back in the same way moving house, whilst he wasn't a super fit professional footballer he was laid up for six months ... there's no easy fix.

That must mean Utd are in for a striker, they will miss Rashford even more than we miss Kane.

Genuine question: Are you posting this lady ITK info as a parody or are you really claiming to be ITK on this forum?

With all these self proclaimed ITKs it's hard to keep track of jokes and tongue-in-cheek.

She is for real and is normally pretty close to the mark.

Its no secret that PSG have had their eye on Eriksen for a while and Jose is still regarded as the chosen one, some players love him, he is a magician to them.

One fucking team funded by an Arab state won all 3 domestic cups last year! If you only celebrate trophies you might as well only watch football in May.
I find it so funny people who feel entitled to success call everyone else happy clappers, of course we all want trophies but it’s not that easy actually!

Leicester won a league title and Wigan managed to win an FA cup so what was your point again?

I’d like to think there’s a middle ground.

I don’t think wanting your club to have a recognised striker for half a season is ‘Glory hunting’.

Our recruitment has been a shambles. The direct opposite of our infrastructure development. Levy is fantastic at the latter, abysmal at the former.

And that’s not even a ‘spend money’ thing. He’s not even good at what he claims we should be doing I.e recruiting young talent.

Good post, Cranston Cranston

Too many polarised views on this forum. Some people just determined to just dig themselves in deeper and deeper despite all the evidence in front of them.

Cavani rumoured to be on £350k pw, but he's in the last 6 months of his contract so PSG would be looking for a sale at say £20m and Cavani looking for an 18 month contract with £18m pa (£350k pw) wages ? So a total of £45m - £50m for an 18 month contract which looks horrendous.

Atletico apparently bid £10m and were knocked back.

So unless Cavani agrees a significant wages cut and a shorter term contract cant see that one flying ?

Not forgetting that Poch was appointed manager 12 months after starting at Spurs with responsibility for recruitment.

So who has screwed up recruitment over the last 5 years or so - over 20 players arrived but few are first team contenders.

And don't talk to anyone who follows youth (whether WindyCOYS WindyCOYS or anyone else) about Poch (non) development of academy players

We are not punching above our weight
We are punching above our weight

Poch cost us trophies with selection and tactics
Poch is a miracle worker

We will not build a ground
Nice ground

Wembley will be next level
Wembley was shit

Sometimes it’s better to be polarised

Heard on some podcast over the weekend that Lille are keen to shift Soumare because they are worried that his agent is a snake who will encourage him to run his contract down.

Whether we have a realistic chance of getting the player, I don't know, but player seems adamant he's not moving.

Best chance we have is that Mourhino knows Lille Technical Director, Luis Campos, well and player will be fully aware of Mourhino so we are probably one of the best placed clubs if he can be persuaded to come.

But player is stilll young and it might be next season before he really hits the ground running

ENIC's glory list in 2 decades. Sounds like their PR unit dude .
Those memories were empty as they led to nothing but defeat.
Moira's last minute winner , while amazing is only a bitter pill as that fuckwit final soured everything.

I watch as you brother for those heart stopping
moments
Ricky scoring the greatest final goal.
Gazza unbelievable semi final fee kick which led to
F.A cup glory.
Parks penalty shoot out save for Euro glory.
Perryman holding the FA cup while fans embrace him in ecstasy.

We can still beat Swansea in a final and really challenge for the title but our owners have to want that as well as us .
