The transfer window is over, the interlull has begun.<\/p>\n
Everyone is struggling, but The Sun are taking the p*ss, the Daily Express are inventing Liverpool problems, and the Daily Star are pretending Manchester United have a \u2018\u00a31m midfield solution\u2019.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s low tide in Football Content Bay, and the worry for us all must be that England\u2019s upcoming unconvincing 2-0 win over Andorra will do little to raise any boats.<\/p>\n
But plucky little Mediawatch isn\u2019t going to let a near total lack of anything actually happening at all stop it delivering. No sir.<\/p>\n
Lamm to the slaughter<\/p>\n
Manchester United didn\u2019t have a great end to the transfer window and haven\u2019t made a great start to the season<\/strong><\/a>, but now things have got even worse for the crisis-ridden club.<\/p>\n The Sun<\/strong> pick up this huge developing story, which \u2013 and Mediawatch cannot stress this enough \u2013 they consider to be the biggest football story on earth at this time.<\/p>\n LAMM-ENTABLE: Man Utd fans TERRIFIED after seeing first pic of Senne Lammens at Old Trafford \u2013 can you guess why?<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n We cannot. But it sure must be serious if the fans are TERRIFIED at the sight of their shiny new goalkeeper. Is he like five-foot-three or something?<\/p>\n Lammens has now been unveiled as a Red Devil but his photos at\u00a0Old Trafford\u00a0have caused alarm.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Can United ever catch a break? Even player unveilings are alarming now. This is terrible. We\u2019re on the very tenterest of hooks here.<\/p>\n Why are they TERRIFIED? Why such alarm?<\/p>\n That is because his agent bears a striking similarity to former manager\u00a0Erik ten Hag.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Oh f*ck off.<\/p>\n Four fans, just to round out the formalities. Four fans doing harmless throwaway jokes on Twitter about the fact Lammens does indeed possess a bald, bearded agent who could, we concede, in a weak enough field finish third or fourth in an Erik Ten Hag lookalike competition. None of them terrified, never mind TERRIFIED. None of them alarmed. None of this in any way a story, less still the biggest story in all of football.<\/p>\n We know the window\u2019s closed. We know it\u2019s international week. But come on.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Sak of sh*t<\/p>\n It\u2019s not just Man United where all is not rosy. These are deeply troubling times for Liverpool too, despite everything<\/strong><\/a>. To the Daily Express<\/strong>\u2026<\/p>\n Alexander Isak concerns raised at Liverpool after blockbuster record transfer<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Uh-oh. Bit of buyer\u2019s remorse, is it? Liverpool worried they\u2019ve overpaid? Is Isak actually, despite everything, in fact quite rubbish? Has Arne Slot changed his mind about absolutely everything he previously held dear?<\/p>\n Or has Alan Pardew gone on Sky Sports and guessed that Hugo Ekitike might be a bit miffed at the increased competition for places?<\/p>\n But we suppose \u2018Hugo Ekitike concerns raised inside Alan Pardew\u2019s head after blockbuster record transfer\u2019 might just be a slightly less clicky headline.<\/p>\n MAILBOX: Do Liverpool need \u2018bit of a d***\u2019 Isak? Newcastle fans say he was \u2018half-arsed\u2019<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Midfield of dreams<\/p>\n The Daily Star<\/strong> have also managed to find some good news for Manchester United amid their assorted calamities<\/strong><\/a>, so that\u2019s nice.<\/p>\n Man Utd have already found a solution to midfield problem in \u00a31m signing<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n In fairness to writers Cameron Winstanley and Steven Railston, they\u2019ve been stitched right up by that headline.<\/p>\n In a lengthy piece about why United might be just about okay despite failing to bolster their midfield options this summer, some very fair points are made.<\/p>\n\n
