It is a headscratcher why they turned away from Pulisic unless Dortmund just flat out won't sell. And I agree about the difference in money on one and not the other. But comparing both is like comparing apples to oranges, isn't it? Two completely different type of players in different positions.

Well, they are both midfielders. Keita is more box to box, and Pulisic more attacking. Dortmund plays Pulisic more on the wing, but he moves inside easily, and will be the USA #10 for the next decade, at least.

No action over Southampton's van Dijk complaint. 

Shocker! *Eye roll. 

Now hopefully Chelsea or someone puts a bid in and this can get back up and running.

 

Hail.




 

 

I'd suspect Liverpool already have the deal sat waiting. Probably includes a nice discreet sweetener for Southampton.

watching some slo mo messi adidas commercial that was posted on reddit. 
 
Messi's playing, early morning sun—sprinkler is on in the background. In some shots, it looks like pools of standing water have formed (haha). Then I look really closely and it looks like he's playing on artificial turf. They're watering artificial grass. Gotta love advertising.

La Massia have been raided recently following the 2015 FIFA ban: Eric Garcia, Kays Ruiz (PSG), Lee Seung Woo (wants to leave to get playing time, €3 mil clause), Jordi Mboula (Monaco).

Out of the 21 players of Barça B, only 12 are eligible for a U21 national selection and two are over 25 years old.

Here we go again with another headcase !

Kingsley Coman placed in custody for domestic violence

 

Definitely stupid..  What's sad is winger is a major need so his stupid actions become stupider as the club really could use him.  Bayern had constantly been connected with midfielders. Really weird. Honestly sign a winger with a back up striker and the club is good. Our board just confuses me. They act like they will do what's necessary to win every trophy possible but they don't put up the money to back it up. As if the fans don't know that. Bayern is owned by the fans and the board would be good to remember that.

England U-21s making Germany work for it.

 

Thought it was a thoroughly deserved win fo Germany overall. England, bizarrely given their record at them not least against the Germans, played for pens and paid the ultimate price. Again. 

Much more quality on show the U-17's and U-20's the Euro's and mini-WC respectively this summer than the U-21's.

In fairness, a lot of England's U21 talent is already on the senior team.

Unluckily for them, The Man, The Myth, The Living LEG-END Joe MF Gomez! decided to withdraw himself and continue his road to be fully healthy for pre-season. 

 

Sure they'd of swept all before them if he'd been available. -_- .

What is it with high-profile Fench players being absolute pricks?

 

Hail. 

Coming from the hood with their codes of behavior, having little education despite the tutoring from the educators and sport trainers.

They're coming from poor families and when they get their first big paycheck they're loosing their minds. They get way too much money for playing a game.

Some of them keep on seeing their childhood buddies, who are wrongdoers, former convicts, drug dealers (Benzema). Some of them need boot camps !

I believe the parents do have their share of responsabilities too. They don't respect the jersey, are lazy, weak-willed, arrogants who don't sing the national anthem. The fans have changed also, they don't only hail or shout,  now they insult the players. The only former trainer who never had a problem with them was Guy Roux, because he was tough as nails and real mean when necessary. Even Cantona never tried to screw up with him.

To be fair, the older he gets, the less pace he has, the better finisher he's become

Why are Cincinnati fans marching to the Lucas Leiva song? I mean aside from the fact that Lucas is boss in any language like!
