Leaks of ‘unrest’ over Rangnick’s methods at Man Utd says all you need to know about that squad. Someone comes in and asked them to work harder… and they don’t like it. Clearly, the players are the problem, not the managers they continue to throw under the bus 🤔

This is the inevitable consequence of FSG asking Jurgen Klopp to compete with the best teams in the world while breaking even on transfers every year. Eventually, the miracles run out.
The fans will turn against these owners sooner rather than later
#LFC
Pep Guardiola has now spent an estimated £385m JUST on defensive players since he arrived at Man City as his spending closes in on £700m after the Nathan Ake deal.
Meanwhile, Jürgen Klopp's net spend at Liverpool is around £75m. No comment needed

So Tammy Abraham is on his way to Roma in a €40million, as reported by

That will take Chelsea's income from sales this summer to around £100million this summer, putting their £97million outlay on Romelu Lukaku into some perspective

Rumours are growing that Sir Jim Ratcliffe is preparing to make the bid to buy Manchester United. Could the Glazers be gone from Old Trafford sooner than we expected? It seems possible now

The disallowed goals for Newcastle, West Han and Aston Villa today have highlighted the appalling standard of referring in the Premier League.
Best league in the world being damaged by woeful officials 🤷🏼♂️
This was brilliantly honest from

At this point in every transfer window, you are forced to ask: how on earth is this bloke still in charge of transfers at United? The joke needs to end

So it looks like Kai Havertz has set his heart on a move to Chelsea this summer.

Latest word from Chelsea suggests they are about to sign Kai Havertz AND Ben Chilwell...
Abramovich and Lampard see this is a summer when they have a big financial advantage over their rivals. Statement signings incoming 👀

The Kai Havertz update Chelsea fans have been waiting for...
Latest news from Germany (as reported by Bild) suggests Havertz is on his way to Chelsea and will become the most expensive German player of all-time. It’s on!

Jurgen Klopp talking to

here. He looks very down, understandably. Managers are always so relaxed with Jan and this interview is well worth a watch

Chelsea are in the ‘final stages’ of negotiations over a deal for Kai Havertz. Discussions are focusing on the structure of performance related payments.
It seems like this is a deal edging towards to a conclusion

Jadon Sancho is having his medical at Manchester United... if they could add Raphaël Varane in the coming days, this would be a great summer of transfer business

Frank Lampard responds to Jurgen Klopp’s comments on Chelsea’s spending: “I was less annoyed with it. I found it slightly amusing. There is no point in doing the maths. We all know Liverpool have spent at a high level. They have spent huge amounts.”

Manchester United given permission to approach Raphael Varane and are negotiating personal terms ahead of his move from Real Madrid. This looks like it will happen now. Big signing
#MUFC
Man City’s grand unveiling of Jack Grealish… it looks like around 200 people have turned up. Slightly embarrassing turn out if that’s it.
Maybe the big crowds are on their way shortly 🤷🏼♂️
Incredible to think UEFA banned Man City from THIS season’s Champions League after their financial fair play breaches… overturned on appeal.
Now they’ve won it. Many will question how they got to this point
#ChampionLeagueFinal
So how can Chelsea spend so much and stay within FFP guidelines?
Exits of Hazard, Morata and fringe players brought in around £185m and even after signing Werner and Ziyech, they still have more than £100m to spend from that initial pot.
A license to keep spending
#CFC
So... just to clarify:
VAR decided Harry Maguire’s choke hold on Cesar Azpilicueta wasn’t a penalty, but Fabinho winning a tackle outside the box was.

Man City are going to win the Treble and unless they are stopped for financial doping, this will become the norm.
Football will have a big problem if the team that don’t have enough fans to sell their FA Cup final ticket allocation are this dominant 🤷🏼♂️
Football clubs are desperate to stop their players talking to anyone these days but we need to see intelligent, articulate players like Virgil van Dijk speaking more. He’s very impressive here
#LFC
The reality for Liverpool is they have massively over-achieved given the money put in by FSG. They are mid-table spenders trying to compete with the game's biggest spenders.
These owners have taken the club as far as they can
#LFC
A Man City fan losing his argument badly here. If City are innocent of the charges against them, it will be easy for them to win their case. I suspect they will struggle
So Luis Diaz is a Liverpool player… all the medicals have been completed on South America and the visa application is in process.

Liverpool's net spend in the transfer market this summer is about the same as Chelsea are paying to get Graham Potter out of Brighton... this highlights the challenge Jurgen Klopp faces working with the current Anfield owners
#LFC
Guardiola’s estimated spending at Man City - £963.3m (net after sales £580.1m)
Klopp’s transfer spend at Liverpool - £512.1m (net after sales £151.7m)
So around a third less every season, highlighting the remarkable job Klopp has done

Bayer Leverkusen CEO Fernando Carro confirms Kai Havertz has ‘voiced his desire to make the next step’ after talks in recent days.
He wants to join Chelsea, personal terms are in place and Leverkusen are looking to sell. This has to happen now

This tweet got a big reaction at this start of this week and there is an update (of sorts)...
Chelsea insiders have now confirmed they are increasingly confident of finding an agreement with Bayern Leverkusen to sign Kai Havertz. Personal terms will not be an issue

There are now suggestions that Kai Havertz’s move to Chelsea will be confirmed soon after Leverkusen’s Europa League campaign ends.
Personal terms were never going to be an issue and Havertz has set his heart on the move to Chelsea

"I will do what they want"
Sadio Mane says he will do what the people want when responding to an online poll in Senegal which said 60-70% of people want him to leave Liverpool.
David Coote was omitted from the Premier League's VAR list in February after missing Giovani Lo Celso's horror stamp on Cesar Azpilicueta... now he's missed the Pickford/Van Dijk incident.
For VAR to work, the right people need to be operting it. Coote not up to the job.
Kai Havertz: "It seems a bit unreal for me and my family that I am sitting here for a club like Chelsea. I was dreaming as a kid to play in the Premier League and for Chelsea. For me the dream came true very early. I'm just 21."

I’m told Fabio Carvalho will be a Liverpool player this summer… all parties relaxed about the situation and the player is keen to play for Klopp. Fulham want the deal done as well. To be continued…

So it seems Man Utd are about to break their transfer record to sign Jadon Sancho. €120m is a huge fee, even if it is broken down over a few years.
The deal highlights the huge financial power United have, even in these crazy times
#MUFC
Chelsea fans very concerned over the Kai Havertz talks but a massive deal like this takes time to finalise.
The player wants Chelsea, Leverkusen are ready to sell all parties appear to relaxed that a deal WILL be done. No panic needed

Liverpool repeatedly show Man Utd how to do transfers. No hype, just announce a deal.
Meanwhile, United spend months chasing a player, miss out on him and then pretend they didn’t want him anyway. Pathetic

Embarrassing that Pogba allows this guy to do his talking for him. He should have been removed from the club long ago

Man Utd are making efforts to sign Kai Havertz, but a familiar story could develop here... Mr Abramovich has dusted down his wallet and wants to bring him to Chelsea alongside Timo Werner.

Pochettino on the FA's Harry Kane tweet gaff: "It was embarrassing. It was a shame. Harry was very sad. We are helping him to move on."
Great player and all that, but Harry seems incredibly sensitive to any form of criticism 🙄
If Paris Saint-Germain sign Leo Messi, it would be impossible for them to stay within FFP rules as Neymar, Mbappe, Ramos, Donnarumma, Wijnaldum, Di Maria and more are all on massive wages.
The few mega rich clubs know UEFA can’t stop them now 🤷🏼♂️
Pretty clear now that there is only one club left in the running to sign Kai Havertz.... if Chelsea qualify for the Champions League, he will be joining Frank Lampard's squad for next season.
Huge statement of intent from Chelsea

Update… Fulham have given ‘final demands’ to Liverpool for the Fabio Carvalho deal. The player wants the move and the feeling is a deal can be done but clearly time is running out

This is not anti Klopp/Liverpool in any way, but he got a fine for a confrontation with referee Kevin Friend that was backed up with criticism in his press conference.
Mauricio Pochettino apologises publicly and gets a two game touchline ban.

For those seeking clarity here, Guardiola’s net spend at Man City is around £500m compared to Klopp’s £75m.
