Might be a long tournament for Guyana...

Argentina and Serbia to come...

Loading up Monaco with players who like me for picking them for England. Pickford (for 8 million!) signed from United, with Dier to follow. Looking at Redmond as a replacement for Walcott who was here before I arrived.

They'll be in trouble if that E. Newton turns out to be Eddie Newton. He's well over 20.

And from Hammersmith.

[Arjen Robben]

Oh try harder you actual fucking worm.

Stats going up and still at 1, is he literally burrowing from underground to head the ball?

[FestiveJack]

What's his heading stat like?

[Arjen Robben]

15 

[Adam]

He's obviously lethal when stooping to head but ask him to jump to do it and he's not interested.

[FestiveJack]

Just set crosses to low, and then bam, 20 headed goals a season.

Is he a manlet?

[Arjen Robben]

5'6 so, little bit. 

[Gazz]

Exactly, the stat is 'jumping reach', not jumping. Even if he's LeBron James level springheeled, at 5'6, he's barely going to be able to clear six feet.

I take my football managering very seriously.

[FestiveJack]

Not so seriously to see through the tasks upon which you take.

[Roster Depth Sicko No. 2]

He's been studying in Russia for years.

The entertainers III: Rush Goalies

0-3 at half-time to 5-3 up. Should sound familiar to Spurs fans...

[FestiveJack]

I save at various points in my England save like when I've been offered a club job I think looks interesting. Jose left United at the end of the 2019 season, having won nothing and seen Liverpool win the league the season before, and then Arsenal win it with Rafa Benitez at the helm in that season. United finished 2nd and then 3rd but both times the title race didn't really include them. I come in after winning the World Cup and the International League.

Major transfers under Jose:

IN:
Andre-Pierro Gignac £11.25 million (Jan 2018)
Alexandr Golovin £13.25 million (Jan 18)
Serge Aurier £21 million (Sum 2018)
Nacho £36.5 million (Sum 2018)
Yannick Carrasco £48.5 million (Sum 18)
Giorgio Chiellini Free (Sum 18)
Milan Skriniar £31 million (Sum 18)
Alban Lafont £6 million (Sum 18)
Domenico Criscito £8.25 million (Jan 19)
OUT:
Matteo Darmian £9.25 million (Jan 2018, Spartak)
David De Gea £60 million (Summer 2018, PSG)
Marcos Rojo £6.75 million (Summer 2018, Lazio)
Chris Smalling £3.75 million (Jan 2019, Everton)

And my summer 2019 Business:

IN:
Gerardo Lopez £8 million - Regen from NYCFC, Messi/Ronaldo tier potential
Davide Calabria Free - former Milan right back
Rene Braun £1.7 million - signed by my HOYD from RB Salzburg
Marco Asensio £15 milllion p/ex - Wait for it
Federico Chiesa £36.5 million - luxury signing that I didn't really need but Liverpool and Arsenal were sniffing around him but lowballed Fiorentina
OUT:
Sergio Romero £7.75 million - unneeded, off to Brighton
Romelu Lukaku - P/Exchange - Real came sniffing, he wanted to go. He'd been shite for United anyway, returns of 9 and 14 goals aren't really great. Asensio is an upgrade.
