Really down to the players themselves realizing they don't have it in them anymore and stepping aside. I cannot see any board being able to approach the likes of Busi, Pique, Suarez etc. and telling them they need to either leave or accept a bench role.

Makes sense. Messi will likely stay until 2022-2023 so he can play the winter 22' WC in Qatar. I am sure he'd like his mate Suarez by his side until then. Busquets' contract also runs until then. Shame, but the next board likely has to deal with the amigos for two seasons as well. Summer...

It is a valid excuse, but from all the matches I've watched of them this season I doubt they would be playing much different even if the title was still on the line. Going to be interesting to see what happens to Sarri after a half-fit Lyon knocks them out next week. He has a very weak squad...

Keeper should have that, but still a nice hit. Bad news for us though. Barto is the type of muppet that would increase his bid to 150m after watching one highlight despite him being shite for the previous dozen matches.

It is not in the club's best interest for that sort of information to go public regardless of potential wrongdoing. Lots of sensitive and confidential information is likely in such a report. It should be examined by a court and if there is enough indicting material then charges could be brought...

Pretty sure the board were cleared of those accusations by an external audit from PwC just a few weeks back. Maybe there are some damning bits in the full report, but the conclusion is still clear. Don't hope for the worst and believe everything you read just because it could harm the image of...

It only won't matter if he can go to Juve and start immediately putting on world class performances week in week out. That would make people forget about everything else very quickly, but it also is not likely to happen. Most players require some time to adapt to their new club. If Arthur finds...

No it was not. You have a contract, you must fulfill it. Simple as. He cannot simply "middle finger everyone" and "start his life in Turin." This stunt has already given Sarri and his future Juve teammates a terrible first impression. It will stick with him for the rest of his career. I'm sure...

Sure. Could have maybe gone for a younger player, but Pjanic's quality is not questionable. He is also never injured and is a model professional. Arthur is turning 24 soon. It was the right move to dump the lazy, entitled sod as soon as possible for the best offer. In this current economic...

This doesn't reflect poorly on the board at all regardless of what you thought about the deal itself. Swap was announced for the end of the season. Pjanic is still starting for Juventus and giving it his all to help the club he is still under contract with win titles. Meanwhile Arthur pissed...

He should not be starting in any big matches. Fine as a sub and can start matches against relegation fodder where his runs into the box and energy are valuable.

Another excellent performance. Bossed the midfield. Was everywhere. Bombing up the field in attack, contributing defensively, winning the ball back etc. Workhorse with great technical ability as well.

Missed penalty and tap-in in the final minutes. Poetic.

Just wait until it's announced Lenglet is recovering slower than expected. Then we get :umtiti: against Napoli and possibly Bayern.

If Serie A continues enforcing awarding penalties like they have been this season the Golden Boot winner will be coming out of Italy for some time to come. Even Penaldo (12) has two fewer penalty goals than Immobile (14). :lol: I'm sure he's fuming though. :crbust:

Ballon D'or stolen by the pandemic, Golden Boot stolen by a guy who scored 14 penalties. Feel kind of bad for the bloke to be honest.

Another penalty. :lol: Hat-trick, 2 pens. 34 goals. Lewa is toast.

Standard of the PL apart from Liverpool has dropped massively this season. United are going to finish 3rd with 66 points. Back in the 13/14 season with Moyes they had 64 points but finished 7th. Yet this season will be hailed as a big success and called United's "return," whereas two points...

Bartomeu: "Suarez has a contract that, depending on the number of games he plays, automatically renews for the 2021-22 season." Next board will also have to deal with him. #Suarez2022
