Wow. I mean, what the hell. La Liga refuses to accept PSG cash for Barcelona's Neymar - ESPN FC So La Liga refuses to accept PSG's check because they believe PSG is violating financial fair play regulations. I have to admit, I too wondered whether PSG can really afford to drop 222m euro on...

Yes, this. He doesn't have quite as much running power as Iniesta, but other than that, when he plays in midfield, Coutinho reminds me very much of Iniesta. Same smoothness and speed of thought.

Both good points. I have heard that part of Neymar's dissatisfaction with Barca was the absence of any other Brazilians; not sure Couts wants to slide into that same situation, with Neymar gone. And I too would expect Couts's long-term future at Barca to be in midfield, but would he replace...

It's true we don't need the money, but I hear conflicting things every day about whether Coutinho is interested in leaving. Coutinho to Barca always seemed illogical to me because I couldn't see how Coutinho would get into Barca's best 11 anyway. Neymar leaving changes that. So for me, it all...

Wow, so apparently Neymar to PSG is happening?? Messi saying his goodbyes on insta: <blockquote class="instagram-media" data-instgrm-captioned data-instgrm-version="7" style=" background:#FFF; border:0; border-radius:3px; box-shadow:0 0 1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.5),0 1px 10px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.15)...

For me, his most natural position is wingback in some sort of 3-4-3 or similar formation, a la Marcos Alonso at Chelsea. Klopp did experiment with a back 3 at times last year, and to the extent he intends to do more of that this year, there might be a genuine argument for keeping Moreno. But...

I could not agree more. He has been totally unreliable since he came to LFC but he is a guy I root hard for, for some reason. I honestly think it might be that clip of him trying to get Sturridge to teach him the wiggly-arms celebration. One way or another, I would really like to see...

Speaking of, who do you root for when Liverpool play Bayern? (as they are now, while I type this.) LFC looked awfully sharp in the first half. Mane and Salah on the wings with Firmino between them ... tasty. I am surprised Moreno started at left back. Does Klopp intend to hang on to him...

Ha. The manager also called him "Frank" Adu. omg. Freddy Adu's career is just the saddest. At what point do you just hang up the boots? Is he just trying to hang around long enough, or stay in the game till he is old enough, to be a credible coach? I'm not sure I get it.

Maybe, OMM, I don't know. I see what you are saying, but ... I don't know if you follow hockey, but when I first moved to Chicago I felt about the Blackhawks the same way you feel about Liverpool. I don't know much about hockey, but I would watch them occasionally and I was always saying...

Liverpool end pursuit to sign Naby Keita from RB Leipzig | Football News | Sky Sports Liverpool have accepted defeat in the Keita chase, apparently. I'd like to see them buy the Ox for depth this year and then spring Keita next year when his release clause kicks in. Get Ox and VVD, if...

Whoa. I hadn't heard either of those things but I hope they are true. Also reports that LFC are finally moving on Andy Robertson from Hull. Get those three players in and we can call it a summer.

Chelsea might yet come in for Lukaku, according to this: https://www.theguardian.com/football/2017/jul/06/manchester-united-romelu-lukaku-everton-agree-fee Interesting appraisal of Lukaku here...

Wow. Well played, Mourinho. Yeah I did not see that coming. I thought Mourinho didn't rate Lukaku? All I know is Lukaku is the most physically gifted striker in the league (the world, maybe?) and his goal-scoring record speaks for itself. Great signing for MUFC. As a Liverpool fan, I...

Goes without saying. The really amazing thing about Germany this summer is they also won the u21 Euros despite the fact that a number of the German u21s' best players, like Kimmich, Goretzka, and Werner, were in Russia with the senior side because the senior side left a number of its best...

And it sure was ... what a great game to watch. Chile will rue those missed chances. At least three absolute sitters blown. True, Germany could have scored more as well, but still, I'd say Chile were the better team overall. Sanchez and Vidal showed their quality throughout. They just...

Unbelievable for Claudio Bravo, after the poor season he had last year for Man City.

Man this really bums me out. On the other hand, I guess 49.99 for the whole season is pretty cheap. But I already pay so much for cable, any additional fee feels like gouging.

Oh mea culpa. I missed the bold and thought fightingirish was talking about Salah. Yeah buying Ox would be a risk. He has not proven himself. The hope is that he would prove to be a fit as a center midfielder under Klopp even though he might not really work there under other regimes, in...
