    Levy will 10000% price Kane out of the market this summer, especially to an EPL team. Negotiations starting at $180 million. Even City won’t splash that much money after Covid devastated all of Europe’s pocketbooks. Kane has 3 years on his contract, too. I think it’s far more likely he grits it...

    I agree, it seems fun at first and might be for a couple years. But it's a blatant money grab that would ruin European football. Logistically, I don't see how clubs can manage a new 30-game league in combination with their domestic leagues. Are English clubs going to push towards 80 games per...

    I'm so torn. It does seem like he doesn't fit Mou's system that well, but I also think many Spurs fans underestimate Dele's positional flexibility. He's actually been really good over the past 2 years, he's just been hurt a lot. He played almost 6,000 minutes from 2016/17 and 2017-18 and only...

    I think that's right, I'm seeing 220K pounds per week which is about $300,000/week.

    Liverpool's wage bill is around $330-350 million, depending on the source. Salah leads the way making about $290,000 per week. Man U will likely be pushing closer to $400 million for their wage bill, although having Sanchez gone permanently will help.

    Both City and PSG have been accused of some pretty serious sponsorship fraud. I think PSG has been in trouble more and under investigation more for FFP issues. While Abu Dhabi isn’t perfect I think the human rights and workers treatment in Qatar is far worse. One club did spend $250 million for...

    All-time gut wrenching losses for PSG and Roma. VAR is the new overlord.

    So why watch Celtic when your criticism of Euro soccer is present in the Scottish league only much worse?

    MLS still cup-less in the CCL.

    Always felt like Spurs are more Notre Dame-y, but Liverpool does have some of that aspect too. Spurs were once the new kid on the block and rose to power as a little guy winning trophies outside of the good boys club. Haven't won a major trophy since 1991. Lots of money, but not enough in...

    1. 16 players from the 2017 All-Star team were 30 or older. The top 3 scorers and 6 out of the top 10 scorers were 30 or older. Things are looking better this year, though. Things may be changing slowly but it isn't Top 10 good yet in this department. 2. True, if you could prove a negative...

    Of course MLS is growing that is plainly obvious. I'm agnostic about the league so I don't really care either way. I'm just pointing out calling it a Top 10 league in the world really isn't based in any concrete evidence. But you're right, there are a few clickbait articles that say MLS is in...

    My list included the Argentinian Superliga. MLS is not close to Top 10. In the 15th to 18th range maybe if you favor entertainment over talent. A few games against Mexican teams don't prove that much. If that was THE measuring stick let's at least see an American team win a Champions League...

    Top 10? MLS is probably closer to 20th. La Liga EPL Bundesliga Serie A Ligue 1 Primeira Liga Eredivisie Russian Premier League Super Lig Swiss Super League Superliga Brasilerao Liga MX I'd put all of these leagues comfortably ahead while all of the Big 5 second-tier leagues ahead, as well.
