If they wanted to fill it they could have just invited the rest of the Chelsea squad
Chelsea v LAFC kicks off in 8 minutes and the stadium is pretty much empty…..
Bro we're shopping in the Aldi middle aisles, we ain't at no M&S level right now. Just put Watkins in the bag and let's get Top4 sorted for now
• Liverpool signed Ekitike. • Arsenal signed Gyökeres. • Chelsea signed Joao Pedro. • Man City already have Haaland. Man Utd are looking for a striker. 👀
Do you know what, you have to respect Brentford’s hardball stance over Mbeumo and Wissa. Losing both this summer likely means they’re gonna struggle to stay in the league; so why wouldn’t they demand every penny for them?
🚨 More on exclusive Yoane Wissa story.🐝 - #NUFC told door closed unless they pay £50m+ - Verbal pact broken allowing £26m exit after Ivan Toney left last summer - Wissa refusing to train. Views #NUFC as once-in-career chance to play UCL talksport.com/football/34163…
Wonder why Palace would need a new striker…
🚨 Exclusive: Crystal Palace are closing in on a deal for Nice striker Evann Guessand. The 24-year-old, who delivered 21 goal contributions in Ligue 1 last season, is wanted by multiple clubs. Palace now in pole position and confident of getting it done. #CPFC

👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇 Those who know me well enough know I had a fairly decent source for United stuff, the Attacking Football boys can definitely corroborate the legitimacy of that source. Everything Paddy has said below here is true, it’s IMPOSSIBLE to get information now.
INEOS have absolutely locked down any major news since they've come in. I'm not gonna be first, neither is a random account. We'll know if there is interest, but bids being lodged, it ain't us.

Is there a record for most number of player rejections for a football club in a single window? Newcastle are a month and a half away from putting bids in for retired players. Shearer up front aged 55 in 2025 anyone?
🚨🔵 EXCLUSIVE: Manchester City agree deal to sign James Trafford as new goalkeeper, here we go! Deal in place with Burnley under value of £40m buy back clause. Trafford said yes to Man City as Pep Guardiola wanted him. Newcastle are also informed about Trafford’s decision.
1st of 1573863582972793636373 this season then
🇵🇹🎙️| Rúben Amorim will hold his first press conference of the new season tomorrow at 14:00 BST. #MUFC
Its mad to think we've gone out and spent £130m on two of the top 5 best attacking players in the league last season and we're still gonna end the window further behind than when we started🙃
Liverpool - Ekitike & Isak Chelsea - Delap & Pedro Arsenal - Gyokeres Newcastle - Sesko We are legit gonna struggle for top 8 without a PROPER striker signed this summer.
In the last 24 hours we have been ruled out of moves for Sesko Isak Jackson Watkins Who the fuck is left? 😂
I give it 12 hours before Sesko becomes the 35th player to reject Newcastle this summer
🚨 Newcastle United exploring move for Benjamin Sesko of RB Leipzig in case Alexander Isak leaves. 22yo #RBLeipzig forward subject of long-standing #NUFC interest + a top target should Isak depart. Deal challenging from financial perspective @TheAthleticFC nytimes.com/athletic/60663…
Gonna go to bed tonight DREAMING of a front three of Isak, Mbeumo and Cunha But that's all it will ever be sadly. A beautiful dream
Newcastle are legit gonna be playing fans in GW1
🚨 Exclusive: Al-Ettifaq are exploring a move for Callum Wilson. Nothing advanced yet, but the Newcastle striker firmly on Ettifaq's radar. Ettifaq prioritising a striker. An offer of $2m-net has been made to Luuk de Jong on a one-year contract. This has been rejected. Ettifaq…
If Liverpool get Isak this summer, just dont bother with betting odds for any competition for the next 5 years. They'll win everything.
🚨💣 Understand Alexander Isak remains a target for Liverpool even after signing Ekitike… but depends on Newcastle. If Newcastle open doors to an exit and #LFC sell Diaz, they can bid after direct contact made 10 days ago. Isak, 𝐧𝐨𝐭 in concrete talks with Al Hilal so far.
NO-ONE CAN AFFORD HIM WHERE DOES HE GOOOOOO?!!!!!!
🚨💣 BREAKING: Alexander Isak has informed Newcastle of his desire to explore a move this summer. Club aware of player’s plans and will now decide how to move, as @CraigHope_DM reports. Newcastle have already re-started exploring a move for a top striker in the market. 👀
