It looks like Chelsea will get Baba back.
His injury takes longer than expected and as Schalke has no decent alternative with Kolasinac going, they might not extend the loan and instead look for an immediate option.
Enjoy him Wooden.

By Baconsaurus Go To PostYou can take Bosz, ok?Kicker said that Bosz and Stöger are the remaining options.
Gio is not happening.
Another news outlet even says that Bosz was the favorite from the start and Gio is just press bullshit.
1. I don't rate Mbappe. I don't see a player who is much beyond his speed. Spending the amount mentioned on him are just too big a gamble. Not that Arsenal are actually in for him. These bids are floated out there to at least show that we are interested in making noise, but then nothing ever happens.
2. Sell Ozil and Sanchez. These two are poison. Ozil doesn't work hard enough to warrant his wage demands and can be garbage when he doesn't feel like playing. Not once dis I ever see Totti phone in a game.
Sanchez is not good for the team. He makes the wrong decisions 90% of the time and costs the team more than he delivers. He sure does score a lot of pretty goals, but the balance of this Arsenal team is the worst I have ever seen.

By Pennywise Go To PostIt looks like Chelsea will get Baba back.Well yeah, the loan is over and he's done ligaments. I don't expect him to kick a meaningful ball in 2017.
Maybe he'll surprise though and turn up near the start of the season. There's been very little released on his recovery though.

Sometimes you are just wrong shanks.
You're making out like Sanchez level of decision making is Ross Barkley tier.
Then you simply havent watched Mbappe enough if you think theres not much to him beyond his speed.

I think you're very wrong here. His decision making is great, his runs are intelligent, his finishing potent, he's set up a fair few. The lad is 18. He's an extraordinary talent. Has already proven in his short career he's more than just speed.
By JuveFan Go To PostHaha they're priceyI live near a border so sometimes my phone just randomly changes to a different network.
Quite crazy just how pricey though

By GQman2121 Go To PostWell yeah, the loan is over and he's done ligaments. I don't expect him to kick a meaningful ball in 2017.Yeah they were supposedly in good talks with Chelsea to extend the loan, the ligament isn't the big issue though.

Additionally he got a big meniscus damage which extends his injury time, and they need a LB badly.

1. This Arsenal team is unbalanced. Sanchez feels like he has to do too much. He will pick up the ball in midfield skip past a defender and then ignore the obvious pass. Then he will keep going until he runs himself down an alley he can't get out of and loses possession, takes a shot he shouldn't(That can quite often be a fantastic goal), or finally makes the pass when all the attacking channels have been closed.
He was like that all those years ago at Udinese. He is a fantastic player to watch with his energy, but he costs the team with that selfish nature.
2. Maybe I am unfair on Mbappe, but I have seen him beat up on pretty poor defensive teams and a Dortmund side that had no right playing. The time he came up against a good side and he just looked like a speed merchant. f he had the intelligence and passing then he could have ripped Juve a new one with his finishing.

By Pennywise Go To PostYeah they were supposedly in good talks with Chelsea to extend the loan, the ligament isn't the big issue though.Yes, the meniscus injury also lowers the likelihood of regaining full functionality.
Additionally he got a big meniscus damage which extends his injury time, and they need a LB badly.
So most ACL injuries the doctor will project 90-95% which is practically a full recovery with no noticeable loss of mobility or use. But with the meniscus that drops down near 75-90% with no setbacks and all the sudden that doesn't sound so hot.
We tell dog owners that ligaments or meniscus are serious but not life altering. However, when you tear both or have to have the meniscus removed that changes things.
And just to show I am not just hating on Mbappe because he is French.
I actually thought last year that Morata was worth buying at 60 million, but this year would really struggle to make the same case for Belotti. Morata's overall game is much better and he is just as good a finisher.

Lindelöf himself - in a local newspaper in his hometown Västerås - has downplayed the rumours of him joining United. Says he's still very young and constantly evolving, feels great at Benfica + that's where his focus lies and that playing in Portugal gives him a lot. Also said the constant rumours don't affect him.
I am gonna echo what Flabber posted the other day.
I am really worried for Milan. I just don't know how much money the owners really have. With Inter, the owners showed they have the money and have backed it up, if not too intelligently. However, Milan just seems like the owners have borrowed hoping on making a splash and getting CL football next year. I can see Milan being in serious financial trouble in the next few years.
Fucking hell, they are gonna make Morata the highest paid player in the league.

Zero sympathy for a club like that, except for the fans. Allthough FlippedB would surely suck every chinese dick at Milan.
By GQman2121 Go To PostYes, the meniscus injury also lowers the likelihood of regaining full functionality.So he's gonna enjoy watching Conte and the boys.

I majorly doubt Lindelof because none of the English journos are even vaguely mentioning him. It's entirely driven by Portuguese press.

BBC have confirmed that Liverpool and Roma are holding talks over Salah. Initial £28 million bid turned down, but negotiations are ongoing.
£35-40 million is the asking price as reported elsewhere.
Welcome (back) to the PL.

There is a reason why goals in France are worth less in the eyes of UEFA ;p
By Freewheelin Go To PostI don't agree with Shanks D Zoro (does the D stand for deluded 🌞)
On what point, Sanchez?
The guy has exhibited the same traits for all three teams he has played for in Europe.
There is a reason why Barca didn't want him and why no serious bids will come for him.
A collective team is what is needed to win championships. Not individuals who feel they need to carry the team on their shoulders.
It is bad enough we have a manager who has no idea what he is doing, lets not have a star player who does the same half the time.
L’Equipe are claiming that Chelsea are looking to bow out of the transfer for Bakayoko due to growing frustrations dealing with so-called "intermediaries" and want to focus on Tolisso instead, who will be at half the price.

lol, you enjoy the Horncastle article, might as well change his name to Hornyforallegri.
Little bit worried reading Hig saying Juve deserve to win the CL. that is the stuff losers say. Arsenal didn't deserve to win the FA Cup, but they went out there and won it on the day. I really hope we don't have a mindset that we are the better team, so we should win. Still gotta play the 90 minutes.

By n8 dogg Go To PostMbappe not performing vs the best defence in the world is not an indictment of his quality.
I fucking said this would happen the moment Monaco drew Juve. Utterly predictable.
Also, he actually performed well and caused real problems.
