    Lescott said he's never watched the match and never will because he was part of QPR scoring and you have no idea how that felt

    Only Yaya left of guys out of contract. Talk has been he's been told there would be an offer with a big decrease in wages.

    He's publicly said he wants to stay

    Bernardo Silva spotted at the airport and someone claims he said he was moving to City.

    Lots of reports of a move for €70-80 mil

    Doesn't matter on needs when you get a guy like Silva.

    Feeling like the signings will almost as quick as the releases did.

    Yeah seems like he could be David Silvia's replacement for the future

    And we just lost 4 defenders so I'm sure we will get some good replacements

    Rumors that Walker and Fabinho will be announced tomorrow.

    Have seen that we were after Mendy and Fabinho so not sure if we are after one of them, both of them or what

    Good report on the future best keeper in the League


    Benfica supporter here, let me be as unbiased as I can.

    Ederson is a tremendous goalie with a great field presence. He oozes confidence and that trespasses to the rest of the team, especially the defense. However, for all the praise he is receiving and what is being said in the media, footwork is not his strongest characteristic. I don't know where people first got this idea from. He has an outrageously long kick, and great accuracy, but I never felt like he was that good at working with the ball at his feet near the area, or under pressure for that matter. Seldom does he chose to distribute to the players close to him - on thing Guardiola will have to work on, should he sign for you, is fighting Ederson's urge to kick the ball away. You should take advantage of his ability to clinically pass to the 9 or other forward from his own area, you have some fast players and a counter such as that once in a while can be profitable, but not always does it work or is the wisest decision, and it sure as hell's not something Pep enjoys too much.

    For me, Ederson's greatest features are his shot stopping abilities, agility and ruthlessness. I do not know if that's what you're looking for or not, but it is how it is. He's very instinctive but he's also very clever at filling the lines and gaps. You will never find him out of position, and you'll notice he is always at the best spot to cover the goal as most as he can or to attack the ball. He's never too far back, nor he is ever too much to the front. I can honestly only remember him conceding from afar once or twice. The way he charges the ball and the attacker, though, has got to be his strongest trait. He is an ice cold mother-fucker, but because he is so agile and quick-minded, he almost never concedes a foul. I remember one time in CL, though, where he mistimed an effort and caused a penalty, but proceeded to save it. I don't need to tell you all this becaue you've probably seen it in most clips by now.

    Anyway, Pep knows what he wants and needs more than I do, of course. But what I'm saying is true, and if Guardiola wishes to have Ederson by his side, then he must think he can still mold him while still utilizing his inate traits, which makes me think it's definitely a long-term move. Can't see a contract shorter than 5 years.

    Oh, and until some actually believable source comes out, don't trust rumours too much (more to do with costs involved, I'm pretty sure he'll be yours for next season). Always, and I mean always, take Portuguese sports media with a pinch of salt.

    Cheers from Portugal and sorry for any spelling mistakes.

    Not sure it would be a steal. Christensen has been expected to get in the first team after coming back on loan.

    I've seen us linked with Virgil most the season so don't think we are swooping in or anything but in the sense of keeping him away from Liverpool or Chelsea I agree it is big. I love him.

    We will see what they look like. This year I did not get one and got the N98 jacket instead so I'd have something with the crest (and got the shorts from Barves2125 which I wear all the time and love :ohgosh: )

    If I like the kits I have no idea who I'd get. Maybe no printing after Hart, Navas, Balotelli. Maybe someone already established like Vinny, Silva, KDB, I would want Virgil but be too afraid to ruin him

    Nice! What sections are you guys in?

    I'll be arriving to town a couple hours before the game, checking in at my Airbnb then heading over.

    No idea what I'll be doing all day Sunday but going to see Little Big Town at Ryman Sunday night and leaving Monday

    It's about 6 hours but I can't check in at Airbnb until 3PM otherwise I'd possibly come sooner. Hoping to drop my stuff off and head over to have close to a couple hours before the match.

    Can't top Pittsburgh in 2014 when they had the PL trophy and Capital One Cup and I got to meet Chappy

    Since you'll be there early you may want to check for a local supporters group. That's how I found out about the stuff with the trophies at a local pub

    Get here whenever y'all want and crash at my place as long as y'all want. If you can take the time off there's no sense in rushing when you have a free place to stay.

    Was probably when I did a rush of deletions when farva was stalking my Facebook. Got rid of everyone we had mutual friends. Now that I have him blocked we can be friends again.

    And if Tobias amd his friend come early and want to BBQ at my place or something you're more than welcome.

    My cousin and a bunch of his friends from SC will be here so I'm sure they will want to party b
