Shame about Renato ancelloti hasn't really given him a chance now he is being loaned out. Why are they selling Douglas Costa? :sad: I believe after his 1st season with Bayern, Costa wanted a transfer to another big club I forget which one. Then when that didn't happen, he didn't have the best attit...

James Rodriguez (like Ozil) is a lazy player. As long as you have workhorses around him, he'll be reasonably effective else the dude sucks. He's just going to ride the bench unless his work rate improves drastically So in summary, he's a typical and traditional #10. No surprises and NBD then. I dis...

If Man City wrap up the signings of Walker (£50m) and Mendy (£40m), that'll be £267.6m spent on defenders and keepers alone since 2014/15. It is not only that they overpay for players, but also that the players are not that good. Otamendi, Mangala, Stone, Walker are almost 180m€ spent. How would yo...

Rooney, Tevez and Ronaldo were amazing in 2007/2008. Also he had a great Euro 2004.

You guys just like to shrine unnecessarily. So if USA beat these Germans you folks would come here to tell us how "this is team B" "this is team C" crap. 11 vs 11 anybody can win the game. :lol: :lol: ....in which competition? In WC competition. US have gone to Germany and beat ...

No evidence, but my Impression is that refs are supposed to be very cautious to send a Player Off in a final (both FIFA/uefa)

I know how a salary cap works in general, I asked for football specifics, Also you are addressing my main point, without redistribution of money, nothing will change. Yes. A fairer distribution of revenue will help but even without that a salary cap can still work. It'll only be more challenging an...

And how is this supposed to work? Bayern, Real and Chelsea subject to the same salary cap as Steaua Bukarest? I think that Bayern is spending more than twice as much on wages than Dortmund, I don't even want to mention the smaller teams (HSV roughly 1/5). Also what are clubs like Bayern supposed to...

Was inevitable really... Agreed. For me, two things were increasingly dangerous: 1. The gulf was clearly anti-competition almost creating a farm system for the extremely rich clubs. 2. Without action, clubs may go bankrupt (Several already in the red) as competition to pay bloated wages escalates u...

Wrong decision in my opinion. Tuchel is a very capable coach - he will find it easy to perform elsewhere (and guess what they will not call him a difficult person). It is quite obvious that Watzke is a very stubborn person. He doesn't like a coach with a strong opinion around him. How can you discr...

It was not only about Tuchel vs Watzke. Straight after the cup final, Marcel Schmelzer and Reus openly critizised Tuchel for leaving Sahin out of the squad. Schmelzer (BVB captain) said that they all (the players) were behind Sahin and they could not understand why Tuchel did not select him. Speaks ...

stumbled upon this article.. Should Gerd Müller Be In The Greatest Of All Time Discussion? ... When looking at the number of career club goals, it is immediately apparent that Müller’s record demands respect even when compared to the most prolific goalscorers in history. Indeed, he is second only to...

Also he walked off the pitch after the booking, so that the team had to continue with 10 men (a few minutes left)

In the CL, apart from 2 or 3 times, since we reached the final, Arsenal have consistently being knocked out by teams who have spent way more than us in wages and transfers. Bayern in the last 2 seasons outspent Arsenal considerably in wages alone. The fact remains, unless we get a lucky draw, getti...

But the money=success only applies to local football? Arsenal has been one of the richest teams in the CL for quite some time now, but when was the last time they qualified for the quarters (which would reflect their financial position in Europe)? Also why only look at money spent on transfers (whic...

And this is just the round of 32. Likely won't be a good night for La Liga in the tourney they've dominated for the past 3 years. An evidence of the balance of power that is shifting once again in Euro footie. Spain is no longer the dominant side that won 3 back to back major tourneys. Barca just g...

sure, not worthy of a yellow on its own, but still a foul.

Here is a copy of the text: How will the FA Cup affect teams? The winners of the FA Cup qualify for the 2016/17 Europa League group stage - unless they have already qualified for Europe through other means. That means that while Crystal Palace would take up that place if victorious at Wembley, Manc...

The difference between the Spanish giants and lots of other teams is that they do not complain and are satisfied with moral victory, but get on with their game. Bayern was gifted a penalty in the first leg (which Vidal happened to miss anyways), no one bats an eye. Bayern scores an offside goal (Le...
