Nova Carmina Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 Well, it was about this time last year I started a new thread, so I thought I would presume to do the honors again, and with the PL ready to kick off tomorrow, it seemed like the time. (With all due respect to the Ekstraklasa, of course). So, predictions? Thoughts? Will Harry Kane wind up on Man City's bench? Will Liverpool regret lose Wijnaldum, or really regret losing him?

pjbear05 Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 Was scoping out footballforums.net trying to get a finger on the Harry Kane situation. Nothing specific in the transfers section. The lot on the Hotspurs thread act as though he's already gone. A bit confusing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IbanezJem Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 I`d sell Harry at his age and the potential to add three very strong players to the first team - defence, creative midfield and attack. We could shift some squad deadwood too and make a net gain for the window with a better team, with the coffers getting properly replenished from now on with fans and events will be allowed at the new stadium. Which was sort of the plan with the £1.2b cost of it :oops: I`ll come up with my table predictions post-haste. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pjbear05 Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 (edited) A little late for this, but it's on. Entertaining early evening with Brentford v Arsenal yesterday, and with Rocky's penchant for getting me up early, Man U v Leeds this morning. Get in!

IbanezJem Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 Yeah, so not so great for Leeds. Sophomore album slump? :no: I think this is just the kinda thing that sometimes happens, when a side still with half its promotion XI plays against the most expensive squad in history + a full Old Trafford with returning fans etc. Nothing to worry about with Leeds :finbar: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IbanezJem Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 Just realised that I meant to put Wolves in 17th place in my table, not Brighton to finish 12th and 17th. Although frankly, both are among those teams that really nobody remembers are even part of the league, right? :zzz: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nova Carmina Posted August 15, 2021 Author Share Posted August 15, 2021 Liverpool not quite top of the table -- thank you very much for rolling over for a tummy tickle from ManUre rather than playing them like you did us last year, Leeds Utd -- but everything pretty much went to form, I think, bar the delightful Bees and maybe Everton surprised some folks.

City need just a simple 5-0 win and then they`ll be top, and we`ll be bottom. Crazy? Defeatist? Well, we are always horrible at the Etihad, whilst doing okay at home, but this season... 0-3 is almost a good result :scared: Edited August 15, 2021 by IbanezJem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
