Nah, think I said before I took my sabbatical that there is something dodgy going on there. They're horrible - not only minority owned by a horrible company like INEOS (yet still have the stones to play the moral card over other clubs) but they are penny pinching with minimum wage staff and...

True Don't get me wrong, I do rate Diaz. But I would rather have a fit, available, fully motivated, prime Sane, even if he disappointed at times too. Feel the upside is higher. He could also play both sides. However, as you say, a fit and available and motivated Sane is a pipedream, so better...

Yeah. I don't like Newcastle's owners for obvious reasons, but I have said this for many years, and so have others: FFP and PSR and such are implemented to protect the legacy clubs (I would call them the cartel clubs). City just about got in on time before it really started and became strong...

Thanks Aye I did think about that, just was looking from the clubs' perspective. From a player's perspective it can make sense to move for their career and better money and contracts. And like you say that benefits the club if incoming player has more hunger than outgoing. I think in general a...

As for this, I often feel there's wastage in football and clubs and staff just buy for the sake of it. I don't know the full details of Sane's transfer, or if he wanted to leave. But he is actually more talented than Diaz, and only a year or two older. This seems like Bayern have spent a lot of...

Not taking a side in the debate, but to be fair with this English clubs and Liverpool do the same - they take players from other clubs lower down the food chain in England. Yes, Liverpool can't really take from Arsenal or Man City, but that's because of the financial strength of those clubs. The...

Only problem with that is the whole PSR thing. They need to earn more to spend, unless rules start to change. I am sure they will do more to make money and increase revenue anyway.

That's awful. I don't think I'd have the strength to go on. I used to really worry about something happening to my wee cousin, who is 22 years younger than me and I love effectively like my own son.

My voice is a lot deeper, lol.

He's so good he was playing for Argentina (despite being Portuguese) as a 1 year old in 1986, lol.

Fair enough. I am making a concerted effort to curb my Ronaldo hate boner anyway. So won't post much about him.

Losing a child must be every parent's worst fucking nightmare. I don't have kids and not having this fear is one massive plus of that. It's bad enough when the kid is an adult (my grandparents lost my aunt when she was 32). As a child or infant though? wow

It was just a joke. I was more meaning his lack of winning anything at Al Nassr anyway lol. Also, he scored goals/tap ins, it's hardly destroying. It's one moment in a game, lol. It's not like he ran the game, or ever has. But I get your point.

Thanks mate, will keep an eye on him if he breaks in this season.

Tremendous post. Fully agree. As you and someone else said he is finally trying to improve his link up tho. The boy should be commended for that.

They're definitely up to bad shenanigans

Just remember with the talk of transfers that sometimes hyped players fail and less hyped players succeed. You can make predictions but we won't truly know who's done the right thing until well into the season. The game is played on grass, not paper .sometimes the most hyped talked about...

Ronaldo should get used tou lose by now.

Getting old trafford before his time

Haven't seen a minute of him but is he better than palmer then potentially? Palmer is in my opinion the most talented English player of the current crop. Very early to draw any definitely conclusions. He's a child. But he looks promising on that video.
