The what

honest umbra
#

premier league

#

it’s what the English league is called

hasty basin
#

West Ham is cooking something but idk what

#

I mean Kante LOOKS LIKE the typa guy that wouldn't care for the wage drop

#

But you never know he did go to Saudi so

hexed galleon
#

No we need to sell mctom or case first for ugarte

#

Idk I'm pretty sure we had a 50 mill budget outside of sales this season lol

#

It's why zirkzee is a three year process to pay for him

#

But as for Yoro idk

hasty basin
#

It's funny how

#

Everton got shafted

hexed galleon
#

Everton fans were crying so hard about us not getting branthwaite

#

No one's paying 75 million pounds for him

hasty basin
#

Got too greedy

#

But thank god for that

#

Like what did Branthwaite do for 80M

hexed galleon
#

Yoro much better anyway hopefully

#

Madrid acting too cool to pay for Yoro is gonna cost them

hasty basin
#

I'll come clean

#

I have no idea how Yoro plays

#

I just know he's a RCB that's it

#

And young

I dislike him

but I cant see Kante

Get that set piece merchant outta here

robust grotto
# smoky fable How?

I find him very "soft". He doesnt tackle well at all. He seems to have a hard time even making killer passes in open play. He's also rather slow

hasty basin
#

Ligue 1 is just meh

#

Only really cared for it for Mikautadze and still the same thing

robust grotto
#

As a person JWP seems like an awesome, stand up guy. As a player, outside of free kicks it's kinda questionable. He's just mid at best

#

Soucek is a derp but the guy moves around, finds spaces, fights. I dont get those vibes from JWP

hasty basin
#

JWP was what Southampton NEEDED to be remotely good

#

You don't need him

Aguerd or Zouma and like 10 Mil fee for Kante man

#

not 23

#

this stinks

#

all the homies in england are sleeping lmao. gonna wake up to that

#

If he’s still got it I’d give the 23 and run

robust grotto
#

If we were in europe sure

#

i even forgot Paqueta in the MF., its just too clogged bro

hasty basin
#

Yeah West Ham need building blocks right now

#

Oh yeah Lunik

robust grotto
#

not for me man. Spend the money on Duran

hasty basin
#

What's happening with Paqueta

robust grotto
#

Rumor is that his defence is asking for more time and that it's very likely he gets to play all of next season

hasty basin
#

That's good

robust grotto
#

yeah, fingers crossed

10 years is just insanity man

#

lowkey the Kante is interesting bc I can see Aguerd or Zouma going to Saudi. there's a potential swap there

Aguerd already wants to ship there?

Guess the culture won't be that different for him

#

At this point

short flame

#

I think it'd be great for West Ham if you could just sell him right now

#

And make a profit

robust grotto
#

I doubt Saudi gives us our 30m or whatever we paid for Zouma BUT.. he cant play 3 games in a row with how messed up his knees are. So we'd be adding a healthy player and in a way is a W

@rustic mountain Your OG Corey Dillon getting inducted into the Bengals ROH/HOF

hasty basin
#

Kante is still in good shape so I think

#

He can go 2 more years

He may not be what he was but

Ok guys

Corey Dillon respect should always be a thing

Argue based on the stats anyways

Mm maybe, I wouldn't mind it

#

He won't ever be a Pats HOFer so I am happy he is gonna be a Bengals one

I mean he's on their 50th anniversary and all dynasty teams so he practically is already

a lot more willing to wait on the 7-1 physical freak who shot and played decently against actual pros in Australia than the 6-2 guard who hasn't shot well at any level he played

Just that his 2 games have been complete stinkers

Sky reporting United spent 70m on yoro is laughable

It's literally €50m (without add ons)

Even with add ons it's €62m

How tf did they pull out 70m from their ass lol?

dim ledge
#

So it's 62

dense blade

It's says 70m

#

In that tweet

dim ledge
#

Can you choose a price to settle on so I can accurately detail this to you or

dense blade
#

50m without add ons and 62m with add ons

#

What's to settle lol?

dim ledge
#

That isn't choosing a price

#

Choose a figure so I can explain this to you instead of doing this rigamarole

dense blade
#

I mean I wouldn't expect anything less from a pool fan

dim ledge
#

Still haven't chosen a figure lmao

#

Sorry that the entire rest of the football world is logical and accurately criticising this splash from your club and that you refuse to accept criticism

#

I guess arrogance don't matter when it's you, right?

#

🤭

dense blade
#

70m is logical um..ok

#

Whatever u say man

dim ledge
#

62m with add ons

#

Which don't just disappear

#

So you going "oooooh but it's only 50 if you don't count those" is unironic cope

dense blade
#

Thanks for not adding those 8 big man

dim ledge
#

The rest of that 8m is his exuberant contract costs at 150k/wk

#

Do those just not count?

#

Or because contracts are included in transfer fees are you ready to stop whining?

dense blade
dim ledge
#

All the time

#

I'm sorry you don't understand that

I'm sorry you believe the rest of united twitter "oooh the only bang up the price when it's us"

dim ledge

Because you're objectively incorrect and waffling

#

As usual

#

That's okay though

#

I really don't care, I did what I came to do and explained why the figure you're hearing exists

#

Your decision to accept that or not is on you, not me. Go ahead and live in your echo chamber where everyone is against United

#

Totally real and exists I'm sure

Meanwhile Martinelli was on demon time during that run so he kinda fell out of favour sadly

#

But if it wasn't for him I think Arteta would've been gone way earlier

This is good for all parties, he gets playing time he needs, Palace/Fulham get a baller and we get a good amount for a player that barely played for the last 2 years

The A's rn is basically the movie Major League only without Charlie Sheen or winning a title

rustic mountain
#

But the A's were forced down this road by terrible moneyball bullshit and a terrible owner

#

The A's at one time were a solid team. Long ago yes, but they had great pieces for a while too. I think the A's should be a story of owner greed

dim kettle
rustic mountain
#

Yes but I am referring to the debacle and tragedy of the A's specifically. Granted owners wanted this Vegas things to happen

Do you guys ever feel like some cities are just permafucked in terms of sports

I.e Buffalo

rustic mountain

Small markets get fucked hard consistently

dim ledge

Success isn't stratified to that though

#

Places like buffalo are a double whammy

rustic mountain
#

Not entirely but it's a start

dim kettle
#

Well, because there's no salary floor. Which baseball truly needs. Owners need to spend money.

rustic mountain
#

Colder cities also tend to get fucked a bit too

#

It's not

#

Like absolutely 100% always a fact

#

But it plays a role, especially in hockey and football

robust grotto
#

My favorite A’s story is that the owner of the A’s was also the owner of the California Golden Seals ( NHL team )… one of his rules was that the A’s had to wear white cleats. He decided to do the same with the hockey team’s skates. The problem? The puck is black and would leave black skid marks on the white skates. So after every game the equipment guy would repaint the skates white.. BUT by doing that he was making the skates heavier with each coat of paint. Long story short - disaster lol

dim kettle

Let's not talk about the white skates. Those hurt my eyes.

Is the only successful Atlanta franchise the fucking braves?

robust grotto
#

Yeah, although the mls team won in their first or second year of existence

#

Not that they matter

dim kettle
#

Even with the Braves. You have to go through the endless amount of failure they had in the 90s

robust grotto
#

They also had Almiron before the Newcastle move

dim kettle
#

Braves in the 90s are like the Caps were in late 2000s/2010s. All the talent and playoff births with only one title to show for it.

dim ledge
#

Sad tbh. I really like Atlanta as a city

dim kettle

Even WCW blew a 83 week winning streak against the WWF in the 90s.

I don't care if he wins us 5 cups

He shouldn't be a GM anywhere

My hope is that Jeff Jackson not being from the good ol boys club as a former agent and his offseason moves so far being an indicator that he isn't going to just hire Bowman because blue blood family shit

Why would JJ hire anyone then, it’s not his call - it’s the owners call

So is JJ staying in the organization?!

I don't think it'll go that way. Katz isn't a terrible owner, at least I don't think so far.

#

Yes

#

JJ is the president of hockey operations

robust grotto

Okay okay

#

That’s so strange that they won’t just… promote him

rustic mountain
#

He is basically in charge of everything that isn't being the owner

robust grotto
#

Maybe he’s older? I really don’t know anything, I just find all this awkward

#

So he’s doing all this work that a potential new GM might be against

It's a collaborative process, Knoblauch/Jackson/ tons of coaches and FO people have said so

Katz not a bad owner? Umm... Did you not see where the Oilers were before they won the rigged lottery to get McDavid. Yeah. he was a major part as to why they were the Browns of hockey for awhile.

rustic mountain
#

Katz has done a lot of good for the Oil, including getting the state of the art arena and making sure the players are happy to be here. He isn't perfect no

#

But he isn't some terrible demon

#

I genuinely think the Oil hires someone like Brad Holland or Keith Gretzky as GM and keep it internal

dim kettle
#

McDavid and Leon are the only reason he's not shit on more

rustic mountain
#

Feels pretty reductionist to me, but if that's how ya feel

robust grotto
#

Getting that arena done was a major W

rustic mountain
#

It's rated highly across the league, players like playing on that ice

robust grotto
#

It’s the best ice in the nhl

#

meanwhile the worst

#

Hey, how are you

dim kettle
#

Remember when he hire Steve Tambellini as GM? Peter Chiarelli as GM. Oh, that was a good one,

rustic mountain
#

Is there a reason we are wallowing in the negative rn or

robust grotto
#

Yeah Katz isn’t exactly the man lmao but things are different right now

rustic mountain
#

I agreed to that

#

I think he's done good for the Oil as well

#

I think it's more nuanced than he was the sole reason the Oil was in the decade of darkness and I think it's a bit unfair to say so

robust grotto
#

Overall, probably? I don’t think he’s this huge negative either. I know what Siren is saying though, because it took landing McDavid to really get the ball rolling

#

it’s difficult though. Canadian markets have a disadvantage

rustic mountain
#

Okay then let's address the elephant in the room

#

Good players help you win

#

Good players make your franchise

#

Patriots don't draft Brady, are they the class of the football world for 20 years? No

robust grotto
#

That’s exactly it

#

If they never got Brady would Kraft be a bad owner

#

Decades of losing

rustic mountain
#

So what are we doing with the "but only because McDavid" like bro that's whole point

#

You wanna say the lotto is rigged ofc it is

#

But let's not pretend it's only the Oil getting it

robust grotto
#

Yeh and I don’t disagree! that’s why the owner gets evaluated based off who they hire at GM

#

And like siren mentioned Chiarelli was a disaster

rustic mountain
#

So what was Katz supposed to do then

dim kettle
#

Even Holland. He got people like Hyman but let's not pretend like everyone wasn't making fun of the hire.

rustic mountain
#

So doesn't that make that a great move by Holland?

#

Because everyone thought it was bad but he saw a need in the team

dim kettle
#

One of the few he really did.

rustic mountain
#

Ugh

robust grotto
rustic mountain
#

Fine the Oil aren't worth shit and have only found success because the lotto was rigged

#

There

robust grotto
#

Eh that’s too far for me

#

Cause then you can say that about the Penguins too

#

What would the penguins be without the lotto

#

Long story short - it’s not easy. I think Katz is just in the middle of the pack of owners. Guy cares, doesn’t derail the franchise, made some bad hires but who doesn’t

#

Now that Melnyk died I don’t even think there’s really a noticeable bad owner in the league. Maybe CBJ just because they’re so useless

dim kettle
#

Habs owners are too arrogant but that's about it

#

Thats the one thing about bad NHL owners rn. They really don't have much "drama" around them. The best you can say is they care more about the bottomline.

#

But there's one though. I'm looking at you, Terry Pegula

robust grotto
#

Oh man, I did forget the Pegula’s

hockey is notorious for this shit

if someone said a guy had a neck injury or calf injury some goon is for sure going to target that spot

short flame
#

Why should injuries be public knowledge?

celest zephyr
#

because people watch games to see their favourite players

#

like idk i'd be livid if i paid to watch matthews months in advance and i showed up just to see that he's out

#

at least to me if a guy is out that should be listed

#

people are going to know when they don't dress for the game anyways

short flame
#

Yeah I agree that if they’re out it should be known

#

But why is the nature of the injury important?

rustic ore
short flame
celest zephyr

It gives an idea of what timeline a player is going to be out for

Another thing is some injuries are easy to tell from footage/ breakdowns anyways so like saying it or not doesn’t really matter

it gives them too much leeway to bullshit

I think he needs to be more assertive and quick down in the post. Put on a bit more size maybe and really work on strong and fast touch around the rim. Hes like a little Bambi sometimes and it’s really holding him back
