    Great to see, the way he is playing even if Schalke get relegated he will almost certainly get picked up by a Bundesliga side in the summer. The more options USMNT have as a number 9 moving forward can only be a good thing. Especially seeing for about 7-10 years all we had was Jozy (who fun...

    Manchester City has a much easier schedule on paper leading up to the rematch with Liverpool at Anfield as compared to Liverpool. MCI: Home vs. Brighton Home vs. Palace Home vs. Villa Away vs. West Brom Home vs. Sheffield Away vs. Burnley Liverpool has a home game vs Utd. coming up, and also...

    1. Same teams playing same teams every year. (I.E. Never seeing teams like Everton or Wolves make the champions league top 4.) It may seem great for the first few years, but it will get very old eventually. To my understanding, it will be the same teams every year. For example, Liverpool could...

    Agreed man, it is not talking $hit. Just more of stating the obvious. Eric Garcia has one eye out the door, and is moving to Barca in the coming days (allegedly). He looks a great prospect, but is too small and too slow to play week in and week out at one the best clubs in the world. Barca seem...

    Yes, they did. No other way to put it. Cannot drop three points at home when the title margins the last few years have been so thin. COVID/Injuries have not helped, but no excuse to give up five and three sure penalties at home. Hopefully Ruben Dias is the staunch right footed center back...

    Amazing to think that Liverpool got double the amount for Lovren (12m) who has been a bench player the last two years then Barca got for Suarez (5.5m) when they are both over the age of 30. I understand that Suarez is 33, but 5.5.m is way to low for a individual with over 400 career club goals...

    Really professional performance yesterday by City. Numerous big players out through injuries/COVID, and still went to one of hardest away grounds in England and got the three points. Schedule makers did them no favors with Leicester City on matchday 2 as well. They look to have got a real good...

    I would be very surprised if City and Messi find a way to do this for free. Mainly being, Pep still loves Barca more then all...and the last thing he would want to do as well as Txiki (Director of Football) & Soriano (CEO) is screw them over and ruin the relationship forever. In the scenario...

    Fair enough, and I have great respect for Klopp. Two things I will say. Liverpool have been very fortunate with injuries the past two seasons. You and other Liverpool fans know better then me, but I am not aware of many of their big time players missing any big chunks of the season other then...

    This is good for the sport though, in my opinion. In the early 10's City was chasing United and toppled them, and then got complacent in my opinion. Just look at the transfers they made the summer after that first title they won. Jack Rodwell 12m Scott Sinclair 6.2m Javi Garcia 17m They...

    The hypocrisy just bothers me. Liverpool's starting eleven in transfer fees last time they played city and lost 4-0. Disclaimer* Quick Wiki search gave me these figures, so I understand if I have some wrong numbers. Allison: 66.8m TAA: Free (Academy) Gomez: 3.5m Van Dijk: 75m Robertson: 8m...

    McKennie is going to need to develop his passing abilities greatly if he is going to break into the Juventus side, especially one managed by one of the best passing midfielders of the last 25 years in Pirlo. For reference, Weston's passing success rate this year according to whoscored was 80.9%...

    Why would Messi coming to city only be about money..... City play one of the best brands of football the club world has ever seen, with one of the most attacking mangers in the world. City have scored 106, 95, and 102 PL goals the last three seasons. What kind of attacking player would not...

    Manchester City. 1. CEO and Director of Football are both Barcelona men that Messi reportedly has/had good relationships with. 2. Pep is the manager who he played his best football with, and who he has always had a strong relationship with. 3. Aguero and Messi are close friends. It has been...

    Good article, thanks for sharing. It would be a big risk to pay a large sum for a 29 year old...but trying to get a CB that can play Pep's style is the hardest job Txiki Begiristain has had during his tenure. It is the most difficult position in the team with how aggressive and high up the...
