- Benfica, Celtic, Feyenoord, Ajax, Forest, Villa, Hamburg, Steaua Bucharest, Porto, PSV, Red Star Belgrade, Marseille & Dortmund have won 19 European Cups. Arsenal, Atletico Madrid, Man City and Spurs have won 0.
- Incredible gesture by Willian. He is tearing up his Arsenal contract. Saving Arsenal £20m. He has two years left on £240,000 a week deal but instead of just sitting back and taking the money or asking for a pay off off, he is walking away to sign for Corinthians on 70% less wages
- Bayern Munich starting eleven cost £80m
- Forget Cavani and Telles. Next Man United signing should be Edwin van der Sar from Ajax. Director of football.
- Pep Guardiola: “In the past [Manchester] United won a lot of titles because they spent more money than other clubs. You remember that?” Yes but it was money United generated themselves. Owners have never put £1 billion into United. Glazer ownership has cost United £1 billion.
- Manchester United's rivals have owners who put money into their clubs. United's ownership model means £1.5bn has been taken out. The money spent on transfers has come from supporters not owners. Supporters want their money spent on the club. Not interest, bank charges & dividends
- Arsenal on course to spend more than £100m this summer on a budget of £45m 😂
- Neil Warnock says UK will be much better after Brexit: “To hell with the rest of the world.” Warnock has players from 11 countries in his squad. Cardiff are owned by Malaysian billionaire & run by a Cypriot banker. Warnock in France last week trying to sign an Argentinian striker
- It’s taken Man United 15 months to replace €80m Romelu Lukaku. With a £200,000-a-week 33-year-old free agent who hasn’t played for 7 months. Goals last season: Lukaku 38 Cavani 7
- Barcelona ‘close’ to signing Neymar for £89m plus Umtiti, Dembele and Rakitic. And five golden rings, four calling birds, three french hens, two turtle doves and a partridge in a pear tree
- Owners beginning to sit up and take notice. Hearing one owner close to throwing the towel in and putting his club up for sale
- Bad day for Amazon boss Jeff Bezos. Pays out $38bn divorce settlement on same day I cancel my Amazon Prime free 7-day trial
- Chelsea could end up getting well over £100m from Real Madrid for Eden Hazard. Worth every penny. Best player in the Premier League since Cristiano Ronaldo
