By bud - batong's buddy Go To Postto the lads whose countries didn't qualify for the world cup, who are you supporting?france. they got the most swag.

although i think brazil will win.
YES!!!! IT'S OFFICIAL NOW!!!! And we didn't had to pay anything for him to leave, what a glorious day.
By Zabojnik Go To PostBlanc to Chelsea done, then?Yes. The new director of operations, David Luiz, has confirmed it. Abramovich was surprised by this decision but is powerless to stop the Brazilian from accessing the necessary funds.
Sarri will be managing Milan come Christmas, I reckon.
By Perfect Blue Go To PostSometimes I forget Sterling is only 23.Only played 8 less PL games than Sturridge.
By FortuneFaded Go To PostOnly played 8 less PL games than Sturridge.
By Pele.gif Go To PostAll these Liverpool fans not supporting Brazil deserve to die
I’ll cheer for Brazil over the other big teams for sure. But who goes into a World Cup supporting one of the favorites?!
By ATTICUS H Go To PostGoddamn I'm slow. Just noticed Monaco paid 25m for Pellegri in January :lol How has he been?
Don't think he has played much.
Very big gamble both for him and the Monaco.
By domino Go To PostI know there's a united, Barca and Madrid one but no one ever reads them or pulls anything from it aside from the odd tactical analysisThere is a City one but I haven’t even looked at it in years. Spurs’ site is named Cartilage Free Captain which I always got a kick out of. The Sunderland one is quite good at least.
The FSU one (Tomahawk Nation) is exceptional and so is the Dodgers site (True Blue LA) but otherwise I don’t go to teams I follow’s pages.
By inky Go To PostMy country qualified but fuck it if I'm rooting for them. I only hope for a mostly embarrassment free exit (no era penal).Si se puede! Si se puede!
Other than that, I hope I can laugh at all the other failures. Would enjoy a Messi or maybe a Spanish win (for my grandpa).
By Lego Go To PostImagine how good Metal Gear Solid V could have been if it had an actual story.
Why are we still here?
Just to suffer?
Who is this De Ligt lad and why is he talking about Juve. Any good?
By Shanks D Zoro Go To PostDon't think he has played much.He fucked up his knee shortly before joining Monaco, I think? To be evaluated down the line. There was really nothing special about him beside his physique at such a young age.
Very big gamble both for him and the Monaco.

By all accounts the boy has a terrible attitude. He’ll never make it with Poch in charge, he seems to think he can starts matches based on talent alone, but you have to work.
Some more articles on Fred for the United bros. The Andy Mitten one is a bit skeptical on whether or not he's good enough to be a tip level player.
I wonder why City’s interest in Fred died down. You’d think he’d be a ready made replacement for Fernandinho. And considering he’s already been suspended once for doping, you’d think he’d be a natural fit for Guardiola’s methods.
I guess they probably saw Jorginho was on the market and chose to pursue him instead.

Are Ajax just open to selling off all of their young assets? They have a handful. Roma are in for Ziyech too.

ziyech wants to leave and was told that he could after a couple of years, and kluivert doesn't want to extend his contract unless he gets paid a lot of money.

He failed the Pep test

By etc Go To PostStill think Lingard is a bit brass tbh
Wouldn't stick out if he played for Watford or someone
By etc Go To PostStill think Lingard is a bit brass tbhProbably would. Like how Ashley Young did for Aston Villa and Zaha now for CP. Not really the best of players, but their quality is clear above the rest of their team.

Lingard is going to be one of England's best players in this World Cup. He'll be better than Alli will be, anyway.
But in a fluid system he's great because his movement and one touch play is outstanding. Better than anybody else at United, at least.
By FlutterPuffs Go To PostProbably would. Like how Ashley Young did for Aston Villa and Zaha now for CP. Not really the best of players, but their quality is clear above the rest of their team.I can see the argument why he wouldn't because he doesn't have the individual qualities of some other players. Isn't really fast and doesn't have a great shot etc.

Lingard is bang average, only stuck out this season because he hasn't been scared to attack in a team that is scared to attack
Lingard is an academy graduate therefore he is good by default. He will remain good until he is sold; at which point he will be deemed to have always been shit and never United quality.
By Shanks D Zoro Go To PostI like Lingard.
If he played for Liverpool, we would never hear the end of how good he is.
I wish he played for Liverpool so Ramos would have broken him instead of beautiful Mo :(

Liverpool are a good example because they're one of the best cases of where system > individual players. Lingard is a great system player.
Lingard is whatever as a player but I enjoy footballers who clearly seem to be enjoying their gift and opportunity. He's fun to watch.
