Totally Unofficial 2023/24 Premier League Thread

That is so much for Hojlund. Yowzers
But I think his lower wages helped get them to meet the higher transfer fee
 
Would I have paid 300m for these four, personally?

Think there are better entire rosters who have been bought for that price. But Rashford is elite, and there is probably another near elite player in there somewhere maybe sort of.
 
Liverpool - 4 Leicester - 0 this morning.

Leicester should have probably done better with one of a few chances in the opening 15-20, but after that it was a cruise. Darwin, Clark, Diogo J, Doak with goals.

I think there’s a decent chance they start with most of the same players against Chelsea, except Alisson instead of Kelleher and Szoboszlai instead of Clark. Then the two spots up top with Salah are kind of up for grabs, though Darwin and Diogo J have the most goals so far.

Semi-interesting to me is that he has had Mac Allister on as the right 8/10 when he’s been on and Szoboszlai mostly on left when I would have thought they’d be switched based on where they played the bulk of their minutes last year, but it’s not like it’s awkward for either and they both kind of drift centrally anyway. Both look like they will slot in pretty easily.

Arsenal rumored to be interested in David Raya, possibly contingent on Matt Turner going to Nottingham Forest. Kind of a weird one but would be maybe the biggest indication yet from Edu and Arteta that no one is safe and that any move that could improve the team will be explored and executed if possible.
 
Raya is better than Ramsdale, possibly significantly better. Still just 26 too which is quite young for a keep. Would be great business.
 
I'd be alright with Turner going to Forest. Oddly enough there was a rumor earlier today about current Revs keeper Djordje Petrovic being wanted by them as well.
 
EtH going with the 2nd team in the final US preseason friendly. Heaton in goal. Lind and Mag at CB. McT and vdB alongside Eriksen in the middle. Forson and Pellestri on the wings. But Sancho as the striker/false 9 again. Which is interesting - EtH clearly likes something he sees there and is trying to get him some more reps. Otherwise just stick in Hugill there as he is a natural predatory 9. Getting Sancho reps again instead hints, to me at least, that ten Hag likes the idea of playing him there in competitive matches and wants him more comfortable in the role.
Only time will tell tho

Arsenal won a lot of matches in spite of Aaron Ramsdale, not because of him. He isn't a top level keeper, IMO.

He also singlehandedly won us plenty of points. He's not a perfect keeper by any stretch but he's not a bad keeer. I'm not against improving where possible but he's certainly PL-caliber.

Didn't say he was bad. Didn't say he is a keeper out of place in the PL.

I said he isn't a top-level keeper. And he isn't. I honestly view him as England's 3rd best keeper option right now in a time where England's keeper options are pretty mediocre. 1) Pope 2) Pickford (gross) 3) Ramsdale
 
DIOGO DALOTTTTT

WHAT A GOAL

DvdB assist. Someone should buy this dude. There is a good player in there.

Henderson becomes #2 if he gets his move to Forest and plays without injury. I really do rate him as a keeper. And I know he had some issues with saving shots last season which was a regression from his norm.
