Totally agree. Just based on a quick glance, I would take Reus over at least a half-dozen comparable players (position-wise) who are rated more highly than he is. Jordon Ibe especially jumps out ... I know that Ibe is only 20, so I assume that his potential to develop is part of it, but it's a...

Great, great signing for City, if he can stay healthy. That's just the player they need in the center of the park.

I have to agree. The guy is a lethal finisher from anywhere inside 35 yards. As he gets older he may not be as dynamic and may need more dynamic teammates, but I have no doubt that Zlatan can produce at United. Getting Zlatan would be great for Memphis DePay's career, imo. Having a top...

Nor would I, but he's got to go somewhere. I don't understand why he is pretending otherwise. Obviously Liverpool doesn't need him ... Mario Balotelli poised for a return to Liverpool from AC Milan | Football News | Sky Sports

Bayern Munich urge Mario Gotze to leave amid Liverpool speculation - ESPN FC This is really weird. It makes absolutely no sense for Gotze to stay at Bayern under these circumstances.

I like your 4-3-3, but I would use Pogba, matuidi and Kante in the middle and go Payet, martial, griezman across the top. Payet is absolutely deadly on the left wing. That front 6 would be fearsome.

Would love that for all parties, if he can't stay at LFC. Allen is a hard worker and a really neat and tidy midfield operator. His long passing leaves a bit to be desired and he's not the type of visionary or dynamic player who creates a lot of chances, but he is a really solid, hard-working...

I agree, way harder to find the right attacking player to fit that system than to find a midfield engine. Imo, Rodgers is a good tactical coach in terms of figuring out what an opposing team's weaknesses are. Where he struggles is in judging which players will fit his tactics, and in which...

Would be a huge pickup for them. That's just the type of player they need, imo. I've been hoping since last summer that LFC would pick him up, but apparently no one who mattered had the same idea. Never heard any serious, credible rumors, although there were tabloid rumblings that were...

Yeah, the Goetze rumors seem to be credible, I think there is serious interest, although I haven't heard anything concrete that might suggest that it's even close to a done deal or anything like that. It makes sense, reuniting with Klopp and all that. Lewa and Reus do not make sense ... why...

Ugh, I have to say, I'm still smarting from that Reds loss. As a LFC fan, I feel like we are experiencing a worse version of what Spurs fans are going through. Spurs fans probably didn't necessarily expect to win the league this year, but to get SO CLOSE and then fall short had to suck (but at...

Europa League final today. YNWA. Win it for the 96, lads.

Interesting. How do you watch Serie A? I get the beIn network as part of my cable subscription but Serie A competes with La Liga and Ligue 1 (PSG) for airtime. I would love some better coverage. Is there any other option? Yeah Chelsea has that policy of only offering 1 year deals to...

Isn't it fascinating?? And I have to say, I much prefer the European model. It is so frustrating as a fan to get attached to a player and then see him sent elsewhere for no apparent reason. You howl on the message boards, and the only answer you get is, "salary cap constraints." It really...

Damn. I liked him on the Crew, but wasn't there beef between Kamara and Higuain? Not sure if maybe the club had to make a choice between them. Wow. Hummels is my favorite CB in the world. What a pickup. Persistent rumors of Gotze to reunite with Klopp at Liverpool picking up steam ...

It seems logical but I have heard no serious rumors to that effect. FWIW, the Guardian thinks that would be a bad move for MLS because Terry doesn't have much left in the tank and he is famous for being an asshole.

Oh yeah, I gotta figure he will have a lot of options. He has slowed down in his old age but it seemed to me that Chelsea were much better with him than without him. His positioning and his ability to keep the midfielders lined up properly in front of him are key. Matic always seemed all over...

Shame we don't get to see Miazga make his Chelsea debut tonight. I thought maybe this would be his chance, with Chelsea having injury/suspension issues in the back 4 and nothing really to play for other than pride. Weird to use Mikel at CB under those circumstances. If it were a big game, I...

Yep, I'd probably take that trade.

It's funny, I used to think the same thing, but Coutinho was kind of a non-factor last night. He's not really built for gegenpressing the way Firmino and Lallana are. Don't get me wrong, he's a great, great player, but it's kind of like Sterling for me at this point: if LFC can get an...
