My 2cents

I don't think Pogba is worth £100m - he doesn't score enough goals - I agree with Scholes. BUT is he worth £75-80? Yeah damn right, so what's £20m.

Man has 4 Serie A titles, champions league finals and he's only 23. Play him in his right position (unlike Deschamps) and Man U will be straight. Hurts to say

He may not be worth it but a £100m spent on one player is nothing for United.

Now if no pl or cl titles are won, the ? was a waste.

Hughes buildin' a solid team

Arsenal still trying to shortchange Lacazette. Their £35 million bid is rejected.

Arsenal are just a bunch of ? -takers in the transfer market - no wonder we are looked at as a joke these days. They either need to cough up or just ? off.

Juve gonna finish 5th

Arsenal are now interested in Toulouse ST Wissam Ben Yedder. Which is EXTREMELY typical because dude is 8 million in the market.

We'll probably lose out to him as well.

Mertesacker out for months injured, good to see our teams performing consistently in the season build up smh.

Nostalgia before upcoming friendly match against MLS allstars




Henry's competitive fire often reaches levels some people might call absurd. But Red Bulls’ Homegrown defender Connor Lade's brush with Henry the competitor taught him a valuable lesson.

"I remember my rookie year, Henry was not happy heading into a match against Houston," Lade recalls. "He stood out where the left midfielder would sit the whole week of training before the game. I was playing right back.

"Every time he would get the ball, he would look at me and say, Hit me.' This is Thierry Henry! He is an incredible athlete. But I would have to come up and hit him as best I could.

"The first time I kind of nudged him," Lade said. "He shoved me and said, Hit me.' So literally every time he got the ball, he wanted me to come up and give him no space and hit him. So I said OK.

"A couple of times, he threw his body to throw me off. But there was one time he got the ball, I went up and I hit him. The ball popped loose and I started going with it.

"Before I know it, he just takes me out from behind," Lade laughs. "It was a funny moment and it surely hurt, but I went on to have one of my best games of the year. He really got me in that mindset. Every time the person across from me got the ball, I gave them no room.

"To this day, there are times I try to tap into that moment if I need a boost of my competitive will. I think back at the moment of him telling me to hit him and how scared I was of Thierry Henry. Those experiences I will always remember."
