Probably this speaks of the depth of the club with abundance of midfielders

Winning the league is more challenging than ever, even the clubs below top 6 are buying players that fit the club.
So just like a broken record, no easy team to beat and any of the lower team can spring a surprise or two.

With some teams getting stronger and with so many games, the strength or depth of the squad will be key to the long season ahead.

For us,in the first game of the season it is good sign seeing players coming off the bench and contributing to the team.
Competiting for 1st team football as usual is a gd recipe for the team, everyone has to perform week in week out.
Best is assuring JM through their performances that he can rely on the existing squad and has no need to bring in new players.

The press are laughing at us now saying we got carried away with the scoreline.
They saying that it is only west ham that we have beaten and not any top 5 teams in the league.

Read that PSG is most likely to pip RM over the signing of Mbappe........makes a mockery out of FIFA's Fairplay.

Looks like the club is prepared to face a hefty fine.

Not refering to Neymar but Mbappe.
Read that Mbappe fees will be much higher than Neymar.
So if it happens then PSG's balance sheet will take a big hit. This will trigger UEFA to probe.

Yes....that was what i read and many reported the same. I was shocked too when I first came acrossed it.
The transfer mkt is getting crazier.

if eventually PSG is paying Mbappe more than Neymar, it is a big big risk even though the club is bankrolled by Qatar govt.

Here is one of the reports and just part of tge article..

https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/m...ymar-hql3m2d9t

Paris Saint-Germain have secured the *signature of Kylian Mbappe for a transfer fee that is set to exceed the record £200m they paid for Neymar less than a fortnight ago. According to sources familiar with the negotiations, the Qatar-owned club are to spend an initial £173m on buying Mbappe’s registration from AS Monaco. However, a series of performance-related bonuses secured by Monaco from their direct domestic rivals will push Mbappe’s fee beyond the £200m release clause PSG deployed to extract Neymar from *Barcelona.
