By Zabojnik Go To PostDefense: Spinazzola, Conti
Midfield: Tolisso, Dembele, Tielemans, Douglas Costa, Bernardeschi, Berardi (that's right)
Attack: Schick, Keita Balde
It's not that I think he's a bad player. He's definitely not as good as the hype surrounding him, but more importantly … I think we'll stick with 4-2-3-1 as our main formation for the foreseeable future and there's currently no free spot in it for Verratti. He could only play as Pjanic's backup, unless you see Pjanic - Verratti as a viable midfield. In which case I'll ask you to turn in your calcio connoisseur card at the counter. :)
Verratti has always played best in a two man midfield when he has another passer next to him. I would love to see Pjanic-Verratti. It would be amazing in Europe.
Not sure I want Keita. Always seemed a bit of a bad egg.

Juve lads and their #hottakes lmao. All so when an 18 year old gets shut out by the best defence in the world they can say "I was right Mbappe is a fraud". Truly disgusting behaviour.
Surely the biggest danger to Mbappe is that he gets some bad leg break or ACL and is never the same, as always seems to happen with the superstar teenage strikers
By DerZuhälter Go To PostMuntari banned for a match after his protest.
No mas.
What a shitshow.
Disgraceful.
At least Strootman got banned for two games for that hilarious dive.
By Kidjr Go To PostI expect Mbappe to tear into Juve tbh
Why?
Mbappe will definitely be the worst player ever if he doesn't score against the best defence in the world.
By Shanks D Zoro Go To PostSo we all agree Juve have the best defence in the world?
Job done ;p
Didnt know this was even a debate
By Shanks D Zoro Go To PostWhy?
His movement is stupendous

By Laboured Go To PostSin bins?
By Phlebas Go To PostSin bins?
Yes it's when a roided up Jesus pile drives you into a dumpster for transgressions against the Faith.
Took me three five a side games to actually ask one of my teammates what the meaning of the word sin bin was (knowing what the action meant), he just shrugged and walked away.
By Laboured Go To PostYes it's when a roided up Jesus pile drives you into a dumpster for transgressions against the Faith.It was a serious question.

By Phlebas Go To PostIt was a serious question.

We don't know how it would be operated yet but for certain fouls or breaking of certain rules the ref would make your player sit on the sidelines for 10 minutes while your team plays with a reduced number of men and that player can come back on once the 10 minutes have expired.
It's a solution to the problem of only being able to send people off or yellow card them.
It was thought that if Van Dijk did join that one of Christensen or Zouma would go in the opposite direction for a year or two on loan. But if the club want to send Zouma, and prefer Christensen stayed, that complicates things if Saints have no interest in Kurt.
Regardless, it's going to be a massively expensive deal and one of Zouma, Christensen or Ake are going to land somewhere else. :/

Zouma needs a chance to play as he hasn't been the same since that injury put him out of action for 9 months. He still has a great chance of making it though so a loan is sensible. Reckon selling him outright would end up coming back to bite us.
Chelsea's defensive options are going to be fantastic next season:
Van Dijk - Azpilicueta - Cahill - Luiz - Ake - Christensen - Alonso - Bonucci - Moses - Baba Rahman

I think it's really sad you guys keep forgetting about Michael Hector.
By Laboured Go To PostI think it's really sad you guys keep forgetting about Michael Hector.Who?
By Phlebas Go To PostWho?The poor man's Matt Miazga
By Laboured Go To PostI think it's really sad you guys keep forgetting about Michael Hector.There's also that American CB at Dutch Cup Champions Vitesse.
China please...
By Lupercal Go To PostMan U should jump on the Zouma train.Yes, they need another CB prone to injuries.
I'd like Zouma now that he's back from injury, there's been rumours of José being interested in him too. Though I doubt Chelsea would outright sell - or perhaps even loan - him to us.
This is the most fucked up GE ever, Theresa is clueless and I would Corbyn to negotiate his way out of a paper bag, FFS.

SerieASLAENT, how much do you recon Belotti would cost Milan? I would rather have him than Kalinic, Morata or Aubameyang (lol). I know players+cash only happen in FM, but Mihajlovic seems to want Kucka so maybe Kucka+€40m?
Monaco will turn into United's equivalent of Southampton➟Liverpool.
Please, lad. Look at the way your country is being run.

100 million plus.
I doubt Cairo will sell to another Serie A club, but there is a reason there is no Serie A release clause.
Best bet is to get him in 18 after he flops in England.
If only Clegg hadn't betrayed the youth, the Lib Dems could easily mobilise the young voters to overturn the baby boomer cunts who are looking to torch the field and salt the earth on their way out.

'Sin bins' to be trialled by English FA from next season
It's a start I guess.
'Sin bins' to be trialled by English FA from next season
The FA plans to introduce what it calls "temporary dismissals" in England's step seven - six tiers below the National League - and the leagues below.
They will only apply to yellow cards shown for dissent, and will see players leave the field for 10 minutes.
It will also be tested in Sunday League and male and female youth football.
It's a start I guess.
Leave the field for 10 minutes? What could possibly go wrong.
Spare us and invest (the money is there) in video technology instead.

By rossonero Go To PostI really haven't been keeping up with how Cairo is with selling to Serie A clubs.After the 2-year, €25m rigmarole for a useless, post-injury Maksimovic, I wouldn't trust Cairo to sell you a Kinder Bueno for less than €10m - and it'd be a melted mess.
