Bonucci back to Juve seems to be happening. What the hell, haha.
I guess he just wanted to see what it feels like to be captain.

By Oddinho Go To PostSchurrle wasn’t even doing bad for Chelsea when he played. I think it was an attitude issue that initially caused him to lose the managers trust.
That is really not true. He went through long periods of contributing absolutely nothing whenever he was on the pitch. I liked him at first, but he quickly turned out to be a one trick pony that everyone could figure out easily. Seems to have done the exact same at Dortmund.
He seems like a nice cool guy, and could probably do decently at Fulham. But he really did not play well at Chelsea most of the time.

During his spell at Wolfsburg, he at least scored some games and had some assists, but it's pretty telling that Sancho almost had better numbers despite having his first professional season and only being used since winter.
Just entirely shit, horrible defending and just delievering nothing of note going forward.
And that was our freaking transfer record....
Only because of Tuchel, never ever the managment will give in to the pressure to satisfy a manager again, if they're not confident themselves.
By Wahabipapangus Go To PostHe went through long periods of contributing absolutely nothing whenever he was on the pitch.So does Ozil and he is still at Arsenal.

By Hitch Go To PostBonucci's power play against Allegri went well thenBonucci will force him out.
Welcome to Manchester Club, Allegri.
By Lego Go To PostWhat a weird transfer, I thought he moved for family reasons?No, far as everybody knows he moved entirely for selfish reasons.
He had a very public verbal fight with Allegri during a match. The club sided with Max and excluded Leo from the CL game with Porto as punishment.
He didn't take it well. Things went sort of back to normal after that ... and then something happened during the halftime of the CL final with Real. Nobody knows for sure. Bonucci allegedly went crazy on one of his teammates, supposedly Dybala. Possibly slapping him? Again, just rumors.
Fast-forward a couple of weeks, Bonucci gets sold overnight. The club wanted to sell him abroad and was allegedly infuriated when he put his foot down, wanted to stay in Italy. For family reasons. He then scored vs. Juve and was seemingly very happy to do so (but still lost).
And here we are. I'm not necessarily opposed to his return, I just don't understand how he could possibly get slotted back into the squad after the shit he's pulled. Either he's apologized to everyone involved, including Allegri, and everyone is somehow cool with it, or maybe things weren't half as bad as reported. We'll know soon enough, I guess.

You're gonna loose Caldara to us Zabo.
I got no idea why journos even keep making those rumors, not like we're looking for a CB and certainly not a costly one like him.

From Duncan Castles, Mourinho's cum guzzler. Think there's truth in it though. LVG had the same frustrations with Woodward.
Mourinho wanted five signings - Fullbacks, RW, CB and CM. He identified signings quite some time back.
Mourinho has given up on a new LB now, even though he does not want to go with just Young and Shaw . Targets are a CB and RW.
Mourinho wants an experienced RW in either Willian or Perisic. Board are not willing to chase either because of age and price tag. (Chelsea apparently rejected 60m bids for Willian) Alternatives are Sarr and some French U-21 kid. Malcom was apparently one of those identified as a RW target several months back, but board dithered.
Mourinho feels the board are not desperate to win the title and are happy with a top 4 spot. That's why he is so grumpy. He does not understand why Woodward has done nothing after signing Fred. He is also grumpy about injuries and not having his squad with him.
The ESPN interview was aimed as a challenge at Pogba and to his entourage. Mourinho feels Pogba is too distracted by his commercial entourage. Pogba did integrate better and had settled his differences at the end of the season, but Raiola is desperately trying to offer Pogba to other big clubs and the fat cunt is not on good terms with Mourinho.
Martial wants to leave and has made up his mind. He has concrete offers from both Bayern and Chelsea.

By Flutter Go To PostGoncalo Guedes turned down Arsenal because he wants to sign for Valencia.I am under the impression that he is extremely loyal.
Incredible.
He clearly wasn't happy to go to PSG back when Benfica sold him and Valencia has resurrected his career.
