also could be hilarious opening weekend with a few games ending 9 v 9
I think they are going to ease into this rule. However, it would be awesome if they didn't!

I hope they enforce it too. I want to see soccer refs treated like Rugby refs and no more schmoozing the 4th official on the sidelines either.
Opening day is going to be a bloodbath.
I doubt it.

Ibrahimovic, Mkhitaryan and Pogba in one transfer window despite no CL football, holy ####. I guess Woodward was right - "We can do things in the transfer market that other clubs can only dream of."

Pogba's rumoured salary is £220,000 per week after tax, so his true base has to be somewhere close to £375,000 a week. All these stupid numbers just make me wonder what just Neymar would be worth, let alone Messi or Ronaldo.

And I think the 4th buy, plays the most games of the lot.
SAF treating Pogba like a reserve only ended up costing the club 130m
was his most expensive mistake for sure, yes.
personally I think it all evens out in the end. The Glazers saved a ton of money for many years because Ferguson was able to get out the very best of mediocre players and win titles without breaking the bank. Hell, there even was a summer where Ronaldo and Tevez were replaced by Owen, Obertan and Valencia.
obviously a great signing, although I think now United definitely need a shield in front of the back 4 because Pogba does look to stay forward a bit
the signings are done early too that while they won't have the advantage that Arsenal/Spurs have of squads that are very similar with each other already, they also wont be like City/Chelsea who are still probably looking at 3-4 signings each
I imagine over the next few years England, really any of the top 6 clubs, are going to start looking a lot stronger in the CL. Spanish cycle of dominance about to end IMO
