Aaron Ramsey on Khephren Thuram:

"Khéphren is another talented player here. I think he’s definitely got a big future ahead of him if he carries on the way he’s going at the minute. He’s very dangerous, very powerful, a very strong dribbler of the ball."

[Jean Girard]

Read as Calvin Ramsey at first. Did not compute.

Im in awe that Barca hung on to all those youngsters through all this

Lingard released by Nottingham Forest.

Reeks of Everton on deadline day, let's hope so

[farawayred]

Lingard released by Nottingham Forest.

Young Jesse, bright career ahead of him. Only Janusai (sp?) was better at United.

[JerseyKloppite]

Which is more likely?
a) he touches the ball
b) he doesnt touch the ball, and you are the only person among the zillion views to notice

Why so aggressive?

[Flaccido Dongingo]

He tore up La Liga with 12 goals in nearly 140 appearances, and he's now on loan in Turkey.

Chelsea going for Caicedo and Ugarte.  Selling Mount and Kovacic to help fund some of it.  I know it's hard to praise anything they've done recently but that seems like decent business if they get it done.

What exactly is the plan, though? Chelsea doesn’t score goals and Urgate and Caicedo smacks of another Harvetz and Werner, and before then Salah, just so that Liverpool and another rival doesn’t get them.

[Iska]

I happened to look him up recently among a bunch of name prospects I’d forgotten all about - he’s 28 and he’s scored 33 career goals, and he’s done way more than a lot of others.  It’s remarkable how little some of them end up producing.

I'm guessing some PL club would be stupid enough to give a big contract to Hazard now

[Caps4444]

Ugarte to Chelsea appears to be done at 60m Euros

I was about to ask who Garter was but you changed it before I could get the chance.

Do these Portugese clubs make 100's of millions of dollars every summer from transfers, if so wtf do they do with it? Do they fuck up from transfers sometimes too?

Yeah because if their hit rate was incredible then they would challenge for more. Also they have a lot of 3rd party footballer ownership so they probably dont see a chunk of that cash.

I'm sure Mendes gets a large % of those fees

They don't have the commerical finance doping that PL teams have. They only get a small fraction of the broadcasting money compared.

As a league they get less than the MLS and only slightly more than the Football Leagues three leagues
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_domestic_football_league_broadcast_deals_by_country

The bigger teams have their own pay per view (which FSG want for us) but even those aren't very lucrative - and it's turning into a single central broadcasting fee in a few years anyway.

Tempted by the offer of 396,939,058 riyal per season.

RM should go in for the mouth breather.

[Jingle Bells Tepid Smells]

Being replaced by Havertz is the word….


Don’t laugh

Wish they'd just buy Haaland now ffs. Havertz would be very funny but I think rumours of Kane could drag on all summer.

Obviously off for the money but I suspected he'd stay as Madrid's number 9 until there was a significant drop off numbers wise. Not a good man by any means but his last few years he's been outstanding for them. Still grates me that his only Champions League final goal was that complete fluke in Kiev.

I fucking hope they sign Haaland. Id like to win a league pretty soon.

[kloppismydad]

What position do you play?

[Jingle Bells Tepid Smells]

Kane will go to Manchester United because he wants the PL scoring record.

Kane only cares about his own records, but winning stuff is second.

If he stays six years he may win a league cup

What will his brother do when Harry retires?, will he also retire?, or will he have to go and sign on?

[Tobelius]

Take his one client folder,shut off the laptop and the lights in the office/room and thank his brother every day for the rest of his life for not having to ever work again.

Reckon Bobby goes over there to tide them over for a year before they go all out for Haaland in 2024.

[Henry Kissinger]

Marco Asensio has decided to join PSG on a free. Turned down the chance to play for the Villa. Silly boy.

Madrid already signed a striker for the summer of 2024. Endrick

[Jingle Bells Tepid Smells]

Kane would be mad not to go to Real, but I suspect he won’t..

[Sheer Magnetism]

Why would anyone want to play for Aston Villa ahead of PSG?

Chelsea's bid to sign Manuel Ugarte includes buying a stake in Sporting CP. Player told by Sporting he can only join Chelsea, who have offered another 8-year contract. Ugarte had already agreed terms with PSG after £52m clause met.

Never heard of anything like that. How the fuck is it allowed?

How's that feasible? Does that mean Sporting start "buying" Chelsea players?

Horrendous really, bribing clubs and players.

[Gifted Right Foot]

What the actual fuck.  It's all gone to the pits hasn't it.  How are clubs trying to operate in the right way meant to succeed these days. 

[amir87]

Depends whether individual glory is more important to him than collective. Plus learning two languages at the same time is not easy at this age.
