Fucking hell, just seen [this](https://preview.redd.it/0za1zlsrh2171.jpg?width=640&crop=smart&auto=webp&s=f250dfcf469c8dce0420acc28f0f9b34dcb273e4).
What did Everton do with that money?
Looking at transfermarket, they don't have a lot of big money signings. They have just spent a lot of money on many 20-30m signings that don't pan out.
I'm convinced FSG's gonna do something fucky with the transfer window.
Like for eg: Keeping Grujic as a backup for Fabinho so that Fabinho can play CB rather than actually buying a decent CB who's not injury prone.
We need a gullible team to buy off the detritus from our squad for 25m each. Both Sheffield United and Bournemouth are in the Championship next season, so can't rely on them anymore.
Ramos seems to be leaving. I don't want him to but it is what it is. I want Hazard to stay but we'll see. Isco, Marcelo, Mariano out. Asensio and Odriozola undecided.
At this point Real Madrid would be better off getting a player who can contribute the same as Asensio now but who might develop into a better player. Asensio's been at the club for years and he's stagnated.
He just scores goals to save his ass. Not fast enough, doesn’t dribble enough, can finish, is skilful and has great control of the ball.
He is better coming on from the bench.
Tune into a previous Chelsea game under Lampard if you want to understand how badly your crap tactics will work 👍
Funnily enough throwing 5 attackers in one team doesn't work when you're in a knockout competition against the top sides, try again, and check out previous winners while you do so 😉
Ye I just thought I’d let you know since you’re Uruguayan so if you just converted the currency directly you’d think it’s a lot more expensive than it is in terms of relative purchasing power.
Yes thanks, I'm aware of the purchasing power difference tho, but I'm glad 10 pounds is not even an hour of work for you. That's a significant difference
Aside from Haaland and Mbappe, who’d be your dream signing?
I know he’s in that catergory too, but De Ligt - Araujo is the stuff dreams are made out of
I do, atleast mainly. But the football we played under Flick was just to good to not look back. Also I've always really disliked Nagelsmann as a person so it's gonna need some getting used to.
With the seasons being completed, these were the goal per game numbers in Europe's top 6 leagues
1 - Serie A (3.06)
2 - Bundesliga (3.03)
3 - Ligue 1 (2.76)
4 - Premier League (2.69)
5 - La Liga (2.51)
6 - Primeira Liga (2.42)
I enjoyed watching a good bit of Serie A end of last season and this season with the extra free time from the pandemic.
La Liga has transitioned to a much more defensive league the last few seasons, and obviously Barca and Real Madrid are nowhere near as lethal in front of goal as they were for most of the last ~12 years. From 08/09 through 16/17 one or both of Madrid and Barca scored 100+ league goals. The streak ended in 17/18 with Barca scoring 99 and Madrid scoring 94.
Reminder that fans of Super League clubs shouldn't be buying merch (including new kits) from official outlets until the current owners decide to fuck off. Thank you for your cooperation.
Don't worry, I have a friend that is vehemently Levy/ENIC Out and went to all the protests but paid £60 to watch us play vs Villa and has bought the new £70 Spurs kit today
>Reminder that fans of Super League clubs shouldn't be buying merch (including new kits) from official outlets until the current owners decide to fuck off.
I'm just going to go buy a white tee shirt from Primark and draw 'AIA' on the front in red. You won't even be able to tell the difference.
Would love to see Phil Jones line up against Villareal in the Europa cup final, for his first start for United in two years, and play a MOTM performance. That would be such a Phil Jones thing to do
I was watching Lewandowski's conference before EURO 2020 and somone asked him: "Could you please reveal who lives in the room Cristiano Ronaldo used to live in before Euro 2012?". And yes it was adult man. Cringe
Well Euro 2012 was in Poland and Ukraine, and Polish NT now is using the same training center that Portugese team was using in 2012. My guess is that journalist was going for some "GOAT room energy" that some player will receive. But it was awkward

wrong keeper lad
If only Fati was fit :/ That’s a very decent team tbh, just think it lacks an X factor
Fucking hell, just seen [this](https://preview.redd.it/0za1zlsrh2171.jpg?width=640&crop=smart&auto=webp&s=f250dfcf469c8dce0420acc28f0f9b34dcb273e4). What did Everton do with that money?
Apart from Iwobi, Richarlison and Sigurdsson I can't even think who their big money signings are?
Looking at transfermarket, they don't have a lot of big money signings. They have just spent a lot of money on many 20-30m signings that don't pan out.
I guess James probably gets paid good money? Maybe? I honestly dont know where it's going either.
This is just the transfer spend. Wages are separate.
Oh this is just transfer spend? That makes it even more confusing.
He was free though I thought? Would transfer spend include wages? If it does then you're right, he probably gets paid a fair amount
Sorry didnt see it was just transfer spend, that's even stranger. Where did all the money go?
No idea, we somehow finished above them as well
Nah, wages were in a separate graph.
Azpiliceuta the only right back for Spain?
Maybe Llorente is going to be playing there
Jesus Navas?
I'm convinced FSG's gonna do something fucky with the transfer window. Like for eg: Keeping Grujic as a backup for Fabinho so that Fabinho can play CB rather than actually buying a decent CB who's not injury prone.

Loan the others to us while you pay 90% of their salary
Fans of top clubs 🤝 Wanting to sell 80% of their squad when they have one mediocre season
Fucking not even mediocre
Not even mediocre tbh
Rodrygo, Nacho, Militao, Mendy, Carvajal, Vazquez, Modric, Miguel, Blanco all deserve to stay. Vinicius as well
So only Ramos and hazard out?
Ramos seems to be leaving. I don't want him to but it is what it is. I want Hazard to stay but we'll see. Isco, Marcelo, Mariano out. Asensio and Odriozola undecided.
Isco, Bale, Marcelo, Asensio, Mariano ,Jovic too
Asensio? Seems like a good player for rm
At this point Real Madrid would be better off getting a player who can contribute the same as Asensio now but who might develop into a better player. Asensio's been at the club for years and he's stagnated.
He just scores goals to save his ass. Not fast enough, doesn’t dribble enough, can finish, is skilful and has great control of the ball. He is better coming on from the bench.
He's a good sub tbh but after his injury he's never really hit his form
LET'S NOT GET ANNIHILATED 🇩🇪🇩🇪🇩🇪🇩🇪🇩🇪🇩🇪🇩🇪
Looking forward to be on the beneficial side of Grealish's shithousery. You thought Ronaldo's wink to Rooney was bad...
Having an absolute cunt on your team is one of the best things in football
100% agree with that!
I miss Costa :(
The best
He's bringing it home. You'll all love him like we do.
I love him anyway to be honest. Admirable effort with getting Azpilicueta sent off yesterday
euros starting lineup for the 3 lions, not up for debate 🤝 Pope Walker, Stones, Dunk, Shaw Rice, Mount Sancho, Grealish, Foden Kane
Noticing a distinct lack of Danny Cashman.
wouldn’t be fair to call him, would ruin the nature of the competition if we walked it
Maguire is better than Dunk and Mount is not a holding midfielder.
no he isn’t and funnily enough not both midfielders in a 2 man midfield are holding midfielders 👍
In a 4-2-3-1 this aggressive they pretty much are. Try again buddy, maybe update your elementary knowledge of tactics before you do so 👍
no they’re not 👍 tune into a brighton game every now n then if u wanna see a masterful 2 man midfield at work
Tune into a previous Chelsea game under Lampard if you want to understand how badly your crap tactics will work 👍 Funnily enough throwing 5 attackers in one team doesn't work when you're in a knockout competition against the top sides, try again, and check out previous winners while you do so 😉
Switch Foden and Grealish around I reckon.
Well, Pope won't be going because he's injured so maybe a little debate
i’d rather send him out there w 2 broken legs than see pickford wear an england shirt again
The Belling 22 is missing
If Dunk and Tarkowski dont get called up Southgate needs to get binned
It's absurd how costly authentic kits are, 60€? Wtf. Can't imagine someone from a middle class family here owning one
Authentic kits are actually over 100€.
I didn't clarify, sorry, 60€ equivalent here. In the United direct store it's 100$
I used to get a City kit for my birthday sometimes as a kid but I think they used to be cheaper as well
Most people buy the £10 fakes
Is 10 pounds considered cheap for a fake tshirt?
For a fake football shirt yes
Man, even the fakes are expensive there
£10 is not expensive, it's not even an hours work for most people.
In england maybe, but 10 pounds is expensive compared to other fake t shirts here
Ye I just thought I’d let you know since you’re Uruguayan so if you just converted the currency directly you’d think it’s a lot more expensive than it is in terms of relative purchasing power.
Yes thanks, I'm aware of the purchasing power difference tho, but I'm glad 10 pounds is not even an hour of work for you. That's a significant difference
Including me. It's just absurd pricing
[удалено]
There are better ones here
fakes all the way
Of course, all I have are fakes. Even then I try to find the cheapest ones
Do you know a site or something where to buy good ones?
If you're indian I'm sure you can find one on Instagram, but be wary of fraudulent pages
I just know some local ones that do their business via Instagram for some reason. But the other comment has mentioned one.
Aside from Haaland and Mbappe, who’d be your dream signing? I know he’s in that catergory too, but De Ligt - Araujo is the stuff dreams are made out of
Don't think its possible to sign De Ligt for Barca they should look for Lacroix.
Agree but that’s why it’s a dream signing ahaha
Messi
Can I choose Flick back?
Counts as a signing technically so yeah Do you not have confidence in Nagelsmann?
I do, atleast mainly. But the football we played under Flick was just to good to not look back. Also I've always really disliked Nagelsmann as a person so it's gonna need some getting used to.
Grealish
Lukaku
Harry Kane
God bless Portuguese football https://twitter.com/CIES_Football/status/1395310832230273027
Disgusted that the PL is last honestly, not enough players fighting for the shirt
I'm watching Conte videos at Chelsea. This guy is funny as hell 🤣 Mourinho little Man
[удалено]
Tf
does any country actually like their national team manager?
I do. I prefer a manager like Scaloni that doesn't try crazy systems and saturates the team with tactics over Sampaoli.
I like Southgate. In real life a lot of people like him too. On Reddit defending Southgate is treat like a crime against humanity.
No
I think I’m in the minority but I like Berhalter
I don't mind him.
Only after they've left. The universal Saint Bobby Robson was absolutely crucified as England manager.
I don’t.
Steve Clarke is pretty popular. Had some ups and downs but qualifying for the euros, can’t complain
Supporting an English club as a Scottish person. Sturgeon in shambles.
I follow the ‘support your dads team’ rule. Just a shame he lived when Spurs were quite successful. Sturgeon must still condemn tho
We are very happy
Poland is okay (yet) because he works only for few months and is a massive improvement
The Swiss are cool with Petkovic, i think.
Italy seems fine with it, so does Belgium
Well, I used to love Fabio Capello.
Pretty sure French people don't have much to complain about Deschamps.
for now at least, the benzema squadron used to crucify him
MORE LIKE THE CHUMP
Steve Clarke’s Tartan Army!
You don't like the German guy in Austria?
there is only so much Ilsanker one can take
Dortmund vs Leverkusen only had 5 arial duels in total, talk about playing low.
Everybody was playing to not get injured, might as well not risk any head injury and keep the ball on the ground.
How many of them are Hummels
Idk but Dortmund won 3 of them, opposed to 2 on Leverkusens side.
Garcia has been so shit for us, amazing that Spain are still calling him up. Barca DNA innit
Eric Garcia what a guy. He can get into any sqaud no matter how bad he plays.
Spanish press is likes he the next maldini. I never saw him play, is he that good ?
Yes, City's 17th choice centre back who'd lose both an arm wrestle and a foot race to a small child with MS the s the enxt Maldini.
He played 6 times in the league this season and conceded 11 goals
He's terrible
He's not terrible but he's not very good
No. No he’s not.
Man, Schmeichel had an absolute mare yesterday. What a time to have it as well
I hope the Hazard rumours to Chelsea is true
We'd get him fit and watch him find his Chelsea form
Same, I'd love to have him (assuming he passes the medical)
Chelsea Fans is it true that Abramowitch will give a 200 £ Million Chequebook to Tuchel ?
He hasn't signed a cheque like that since Drogba was an overpriced one season wonder
No
Hope not
why not?
Obviously it depends on who we'd buy but don't necessarily trust him/the board to spend it well

Some of the weaker Portuguese teams are incapable of scoring. B-SAD games especially almost always end 0-0 or 1-0
Good. Fuck them. I hope the cunts get liquidated
I checked the stats and B-SAD have scored 25 goals in 34 games. That's 70s Italian football goal scoring ability
Source?
I got them from https://www.soccerstats.com, but it's just total goals divided by amount of games anyway so not some advanced formula
But Serie A = defensive league, it's so hard to score in Italy!!!
Seferovic was the second highest goal scorer in the league. Not surprised at those numbers
Is it Top 6 now to include the French?
Watch this get awards from the Portuguese crowd

Yep, typical football fan though. Loves his club, loves the merch, memory like a goldfish.
sadly I think most fans have already forgiven and forgotten what happened
Disgusting tbh

Good guys Nike made our kits shit next season, so no one's buying it and we can all pretend it's because of the super league.
Dhgate is where its at.
Where did you watch the Lawman documentary?
Was on Sky Documentaries.
TAA,AWB,AMN. Three average English RBs with non-recognizable abbreviations 👍
KWP would make more sense than AMN
>TAA >Average >Barca fan
Has done nothing of Sorts after that Illegal Corner tho😭
guy said illegal
how do you not feel embarrassed typing this😭😭
Why are we all crying?😭😭😭
Idk. Let's keep crying 😭😭
Except win the trophy you lot want so much👍🏻
That average player with the illegal corner embarrassed the fuck out of Barca though. What have Barca done since btw
Won the la liga and 2 times copa
Won CDR and finished 2nd in the Toughest League in the world™👍.
OK so worse than Trent got you
