Nah Cavani's PSG contract ran out in the summer and he's been a free agent since. I'd say he looks like a good addition to the attack, still has a lot of goals to him and I think he's just a clean upgrade from Ighalo as a rotation striker. Different player type from Rashford/Martial/Greendwood which is very important to have.

I'm quite surprised the only CBs are still Maguire, Bailly and Lindelof + Tuanzebe and Fosu-Mensah whenever they're fit. And Romero was not loaned or sold out to anywhere.

E: Regarding the CB still, I honestly thought Smalling would have had something to give to this team, but I guess if he isn't a guaranteed starter it is not hard to see Rome as a preferred destination.
I play children's card games and watch a lot of dota, CS and HS

Cavani is a low risk reasonable reward signing. I can't really imaging him dominating the league, but he's a smart, solid player, and I'm sure the young strikers can benefit from playing with him. They desperately need a CB though, no question about that.

I wouldn't. Imo Lindelöf is the one who has to go, Maguire is fine (but needs a really solid defender as a partner, his perhaps biggest strength is being able to bring the ball forward.)

Defensively, the 2019-2020 season was a huge improvement over 2018-19 anyway.. (33% fewer goals conceded. )

yeah i dont disagree about lindelof also, but maguire hasnt exactly been utds van dijk by any means. since the restart of the season maguires probably made the most individual mistakes that led directly to goals.
i dont see why we cant be complaining about both cbs instead of just one.

I think Maguire was good last season (not as good as van dijk, but definitely good enough to keep) and I think it's very understandable that some players are having a shitty start of the season, especially taking the exceptionally short pre-season into consideration.

I haven't seen enough games to really have a strong say, but I don't envy anyone playing in Lindelof's position. Maguire has been a bit error prone and obviously isn't the quickest player around. Then you've got players like Wan-Bissaka who is super fast, but really inconsistent with positioning and so on. De Gea hasn't been stellar on recent seasons anymore either.

I'd imagine multiple players with such glaring inconsistencies and weaknesses make the defensive duty super stressful. It just doesn't seem like a balanced package where you can focus on sorting out your own play when you''re a bit off and weak on confidence.

Maybe there's someone who can fill the position better than Lindelof, but I imagine it requires a complete player with good mental strength to shine in such circumstances.

Polish referee assigned for a game of Hungary. UEFA corruption has the status of scientific law at this point.

I got something like:

What's wrong with you? What's wrong with you? I respect you!!!

Because you're Hugo Lloris, because you're Hugo Lloris!

Then Mourinho pulled Son away...

Wow, That's pretty intense. Mourinho coming across as a pretty good leader in that little clip.

I'm back from Inner Mongolia and no internet for a week. What the hell is going on in the Premier League? Crazy results. Especially the Liverpool game, really surprising to me out of any sort of context. Yanited have been looking bad all season that's less surprising and I hear there was a red card.

I actually quite like Liverpool losing a game because with City struggling if they had continued in the vain of last season it would be a very uninteresting title race. But getting thrashed not just losing to Villa is pretty shocking. I'll get on MOTD whenever I can.

Oh, of course. I have no doubt in my mind, that all UEFA and FIFA international referees are great(or as you put it "world class") professionals.
