I think lowkey Firmino is a world class player. Real Madrid are gonna be knocking on the door for him in the next two years when Benzema gets too old. Hope Solanke is ready in time ;)

Think Pep would take him too because he seems like such a Pep player to be honest, presses from the front and keeps a cool head. If Jesus plays centrally for you he may not be looking, so I'm secretly hoping he has a good year. ;)

i really thought he'd flop in the EPL. he's good tho.

Been here before man, I'll believe he's ok when he's on the pitch scoring again
By n8 dogg Go To Postterrible opinion; rogue one is choppy, disjointed, terribly acted and then comes together for a pretty good last actNo n8, it is you who is wrong
I don't particularly care a great deal for either but Rogue One is definitely a better film than TFA
By GQman2121 Go To PostThe infatuation with playing youth online (specifically academy players) has to be videogames. It just has to be.Videogames? Nah. It's a point of pride, like Xavi, Messi and Iniesta for Barca, Class of 92 for United, and Harry Kane for Tottenham. Some of us (KidA, Cola, and me for example) update ourselves on their progress and is happy to see them getting into the team, even just as a squad player.
Internet idiots plug fetus after fetus into their starting line ups and see good results, so why can't they get a chance in real life?
It's the only thing that makes sense.
It's not like I'm using it for Football Manager either. Demetri Mitchell is a winger with dire stats for a leftback but is doing quite well. You wont see Tuanzebe managing to handle Sanchez as a rightback, Callum Gribbin has his determination stat at 1 point and Rashford couldnt cross to save his life.
The only one that is looking quite true to life is Fosu Mensah, who like in real life is a physically great, but poor technical abilities. Our new Welbeck.
the class of 92 was a fluke.
How old were you guys when they broke into the team? I suspect some of you weren't even fully formed semen in your dad's glands yet. Let go of that romantic notion and embrace your inner villains with Darth Mourinho

Southampton insist Virgil van Dijk will not be sold but the player still wants to leave amid Liverpool interest
Virgil van Dijk has continued his Saints stand-off as he tries to force his way out of the club.
Saints had hoped that the Dutch centre half would accept the club’s decision not to sell him this summer and re-join Mauricio Pellegrino’s squad having been forced to train alone while his teammates continued their pre-season preparations in France last week.
However, van Dijk is understood to have told Saints there is no change in his situation, leading the club to inform him that they are also standing firm.
It leaves van Dijk still ordered to train away from the rest of the squad just a week-and-a-half before the start of the Premier League season, and Pellegrino having to plan for facing Swansea without him.
The two sides do appear to have become even further entrenched in their views.
Van Dijk is still clear that he wants to leave, despite having five years remaining on his contract, with Liverpool reportedly keen to sign him.
Saints, on the other hand, have consistently maintained that he is not for sale and are staying strong in the hope the 26-year-old will relent.
At this stage neither side appears to be sure exactly how this will play out.
Having spurned this latest olive branch, it is hard to see van Dijk backing down before the close of the transfer window, and even then his position in the eyes of many supporters has become untenable.
Saints are desperate not to lose face having been so solid on this issue, and having been accused of giving in too easily to player demands in the past.
But the reality is they have an asset worth £60m or more, who is probably also the best player in the squad, effectively doing nothing of any constructive use to them, and all the while how it affects spirit in the dressing room remains a key concern for Pellegrino.
Liverpool are remaining quiet about van Dijk having been alleged of tapping-up by Saints earlier in the window, but media close to the club still report the Reds are keen to get a deal done.
However, reports suggest, they want Saints to indicate they are prepared to do sell before making any approach. That would in theory mean Saints getting so frustrated by the current stalemate that they decide to sell and be done with it.
Whatever happens it is difficult for Pellegrino, who is trying to establish himself at the club, while the fans will also remain concerned not only by van Dijk’s actions but by the fact it is overshadowing what should be an exciting build-up to the new campaign.
I guess it's just a matter of time til business sense wins out over pride.

I hope he's able to become mildly less of a twat, but I think there's a pretty good RB in there.
If PSG's money arrives in LaLiga to fullfill Neymar's buy-out clause will it be accepted?
Tebas: No, we won't accept the money from a club like PSG,that without belonging to LaLiga, wants to benefit from a right from our organization, and even more when the club is infringing UEFA's finantial fair play laws a Switzerland law of free competition, it would be senseless.

What, he has ability sure but fuck no is he anywhere consistent enough to be even remotely considered world class
I dont think Firminho was world class, looking at his performances last season, but who knows now.
Especially when it looks like Liverpool's attack is looking a step up from last season. Hope Klopp has some idea on how to combat fatigue though, the constant running that they make is insane.

Yes, the Class of 92 is a fluke that may never be replicated again and yes, there is a fixation or romanticism with youth in certain circles that is almost Japan levels of unrealistic and weird.
But I get it, especially in a league filled with mercenaries and international players with no local connection to the clubs they represent watching a local lad develop through the academy and break into the first team and onto the world stage ala Rashford has an RPG-like narrative that resonates with a lot of people.
Re: Aurier - I have a feeling that the Courts will screw us over for the second time this window - I spose we will have a fallback option in place.
Re: Liverpool, yes, their constant running will yield dividends until January, with no winter break and European football, the lack of depth in the squad will become too telling.

Yeah I agree, That class of 92, and Xavi, Iniesta and in a way Messi being in the same gen in La Masia is those once in a lifetime things.
I'm ok if 2, 3 youth players get into the squad, even if they exist just as backups.
Rashford is already there, and I think Tuanzebe and Andreas Pereira will follow.
Fosu Mensah like Cola said is a physical specimen, but I havent really been convinced from the games I've seen.
Demetri Mitchell looked good in the games I've seen, but it was against Crystal Palace and friendlies. Dont know really if he has what it takes against bigger clubs but I like his prospects.
For the future... Tahith Chong has had some injury problems, but has impressed in youth games. Angel Gomes still lacks physicality. He has the skills but he really needs to get taller, and bulk up. Callum Gribbin has motivational problems, and while it seems he has managed to settle that halfway last season, we will see if he continues to excel in the youth team.

By FlutterPuffs Go To PostThis is so weird and stupid. Can't imagine it to hold up in court or with FIFA/UEFA.
It's finally happening. Hope that we get official announcement today so we can start splashing that money.

Hopefully the PSG move for Neymar will be the final nail in FFP and give us free rein to spend spend spend.
Who's out at PSG now? They have quite a few intriguing players that might be attainable.
Krychowiak, Rabiot, Kurzawa, even Meunier.
Aurier sounds like he's definitely leaving.
There's nothing preventing that from happening now. Chelsea are well in the black and could spend another £200m. Player sales this calendar year alone have been more than that.
Krychowiak, Rabiot, Kurzawa, even Meunier.

So he did actually spend more time in Real Madrid locker room. What a spineless rat.
If we meet PSG in the CL this year, maybe it would be a good time to get our old good friend the pig's head on the field.

This might sound weird but I'm just sad for Messi.
A GOAT playing a club managed by imbeciles.
Two other bonafide stars, Iniesta and Suarez is 34 and 31 respectively.

Barcas failed transfers
Verratti
Herrera
Paulinho
Coutinho
Bought Deulofeu who was skeptical and only agreed after a low transfer clause was added next season.

Chelsea have been balancing the books for years to comply with FFP, making minimal losses or just about breaking even. Maybe we have some money to spend now, which we will spend, but I bet by the time the financial reports for the year come out we will either be breaking even or making small losses.
For some reason, I get the impression that Chelsea's spending power isn't reduced because of financial fair play, but because your owners are running the club as a proper business now.
Chelsea are out of their Russian billionaire/oil money phase, and are a real club now.
You have grown up.

League tv & champions bonus money; back in the Champions League; fucking Nike; two new shirt sponsorships two years ago; sleeve sponsor this year; plus all those revolving outgoing player sales.
Talk to me about net spend is a running joke but it's also accurately honest.
But they're also trying to build a billion dollar stadium within one of the most expensive postal codes on earth within the next five years too. I'm sure that is also a factor. By how much is anyone's guess.
