They have Messi and some charity volunteers to give him the ball.

 

Fati - Griezmann - Messi
De Jong - Busquets - Pjanic
Alba - Lenglet - Pique - Roberto
ter Stegen

Still a good XI but very little depth

 

Sounding like City has moved on from Koulibaly (why the club continues to try and negoitiate with Napoli on players I don't understand?), and are now in for Kounde from Sevilla. Two different type of center backs but Kounde is younger. I have seen RM fans/pundits say they were hoping Kounde would replace Ramos.

 

I wanted Kounde to replace Pique

 

So Atletico have agreed personal terms with Torreira but can't afford him until they sell.

So they plan to sell Hector Herrera, then use that money to buy Torreira, and Arsenal will then use that money to get Partey.

Does anybody else think this is the most mental shit ever.

 

switching to a 4-2-3-1 apparently.

MatS; Alba, Lenglet, Pique, Robert; De Jong, Busquets; Coutinho, Messi, Fati; Griezmann is the rumored preferred XI.

Pjanic and Busquets rotating,
Fati and Dembele rotating.

 

This is an article about my hometown football club, but I think it’s quite an interesting look at how the entire season at non league level may be cancelled, and also offers a good insight into how clubs further down the English pyramid are coping.

Poppies could weather the storm, says owner Jeune

 

Judging by the fact Richarlison and DCL are both starting tonight, I think Ancelotti really wants this cup.

 

Solid 5-2 win. Richarlison and fringe players like Bernard and Iwobi shone. Nkoukou looks like a gem of a find from Marseille. The negative, you guessed it, Jordan Pickford. He could of prevented both of their goals. If we signed someone like Romero, I'd be a very happy man.

 

Spurs have finally been awarded the win.

Chelsea win 6-0.

London Derby next Tuesday.

 

So how good is Skriniar? From the few games I’ve seen him in and scouting reports I’ve read I’m excited. But random people on the internet scare me with their criticism lol

 

The thing I read online is basically he's world class in a back 4 but a liability in a back 3. So he's being shipped because he doesn't fit the system, rather than the fact he's past it.

Granted I don't think I've ever seen him play, but that's what I've seen Inter fans saying.

 

I remember watching him a few times a couple of seasons ago and being blown away by how good he was 1v1, although not so hot in the air. I barely watched Inter last season though so I don't know if he's regressed/what his performances were like.

 

Random news of the day -

Ryan Reynolds: Hollywood star in Wrexham takeover bid

 

Skriniar is extremely promising and Inter would be fools to get rid. I don't know why Conte is always so intent on bringing in shite players and letting good ones go.

 

Sounds like Jose could mold him into an top CB in the PL. The guy is a tank which is what Mourinho likes.

 

Suarez and Costa on the same team is too much haha

 

Rob, one of the main actors, writers and creators of It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia is also part of this group. Pretty mad.

 

The most Simeone strike force you could imagine.

 

There's a part of me that will always feel like I wish it hadn't been Suarez, especially coming out of the 2014 World Cup. I wanted Aguero. But man, what an honor it has been to watch him play for my team (as a player, and thankfully as a person he's seemed to have calmed down, but even still, his past remains checkered and his reputation will always reflect that). That first MSN season was pure electric, fluid, beautiful attacking football. There is no better player on the planet at producing an absolute worldie in the middle of the most shit-tastic performance. He will be missed and letting him go to Atletico is a tragedy. He's already better than their entire strike force, potentially combined, and he's "past his prime." This is big mistake.

 

man I'm so excited lol

 

suarez is, what, 34? how much of a difference is this gonna make haha

 

A lot. He may be 33 but he's still lethal. 21 goals in 36 appearances last season is still pretty great considering Barcelona were a mess and he had injuries.

I think he's going to be great at Atleti and I'm pretty excited.
