Insane price. Why can’t City get that kind of money with Grealish or McAtee?

Good to hear since I'm well past the obsession point :)

Interesting! Thanks! Loans, transfer windows, etc are completely absent in North American sports, so found it hard to fully understand what's going on

So how does a loan work with respect to who pays his wages? (Sorry for the question, but relatively new to this sport and don't know all the ins-and-outs.)

Why loan?

I just read a wonderful book (A Terribly Serious Adventure) that briefly referenced that

Just noticed that Nico O'Reilly is doing the open training. Anyone know why?

Really hope his season is injury-free.

If only you could trust AI…

So was he not training before?

How is Liverpool playing two matches against Athleti in one day?

Think him and Gvardiol will be much more solid this year as our go-to CBs.

Yeah, I saw that also.

I like Grealish a lot, but am struggling to see how/where he'd contribute.

03.08.2025 19:32 β€” πŸ‘ 3    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 2    πŸ“Œ 0

I agree. Just seems odd that there’s talk he might stay.

Earth Balance is a good vegan butter as well

Who would he get minutes over? Doesn’t make sense. Although perhaps he could play as a DM? Seemed to do something like vs. Forest last year.

That was probably the worst own goal I have ever seen.
