in spain they are required to have release clauses, so all of them are outrageous. they don't mean anything, you negotiate and the player agrees to forgo the clause or something like that. i feel like i remember @Zoo 2.0 educating us on the matter at one point but i can't find the post. not sure if i got it right, feel free to correct/admonish me Zoo

Sweden is their bogey team, knocked them out of the last Olympics. We did manage to beat them in the World Cup, but for some reason in the Olympics we lose to them.

I wonder if it’s like baseball where due to weather they can play year round unlike up north here. Or the prevalence of Latino Americans who revere the game, probably both.

You’re right we blew 200m so we have that debt

Did well for west ham but that was with a manager he has a relationship with. I don’t see this being a good idea for us.

I know nothing about him but If he is the second coming of pienaar I’m all in, I loved Stevie. He was not fast, but he was excellent with the ball, his vision, link up play, and one often forgotten quality, his tactical fouls. He was excellent at knowing when to leave a little extra to stop an attack.

Very happy with this signing. Smart and quality for a backup.

We hire Rafa and have turned into Newcastle overnight FFS

Suburban babysitter wow lol. Texas seems to be where it’s at. They are consistently putting out top talent

Then he will be viewed as a success. I don’t like him and am not a fan but if he wins a cup or the league he will win me over. Very simple. It’s the same bar we measure every manager with.

Thanks good to know. My colleague had it, she had the moderna (I have that as well). Always curious to see what people’s experiences are.

Sarcasm?

Turns out the rich owner we all wished for brought us nothing different than what we already had. Moshiri will be a winner because of Bramley Moore, sadly he still has a ton of work to do on the pitch to be revered.

do you have the vaccine both doeses? with one if you do?

you're one of the best posters @Sibdane, you always just say it like it is and i appreciate that about you. always know where you stand. we are thankful to have you

Awful news. I actually like the guy as a player and was hoping he’d kick on under Rafa.

yerry mina looked a worldie in a summer tournament as well. cautiously optimistic but dutch players in the premier league don't have the greatest track record recently (van de beek, klaasen, etc). i would prefer aarons.

It was a massive miss, unforgivable, I’ll ban myself

wow how did i forget him lol. let me update my post then.

we got european football with 7th with koeman, i was pleased with that. with the additional european places top 7 is a target now.

looking at who is out of contract next summer, and it seems we are being skint this summer to go big next. look at this list of people who will leave summer 2022 James (have club option to extend by 1 year) Gylfi Bernard Kenny Tosun Coleman Delph Branthwaite Beni

rafa has used the 4231 everywhere he's gone, i read some tactical articles, he's used a 433 a little, and 343 a little at newcastle, but 4231 is his preferred. i would expect to see james in the 10 role behind DCL, with 2 wingers beside him. 2 wingers are the position battles i will be watching this summer and early season, i think that is where there will be the most competition and opportunity. i'm seeing it like this: Pickford New RB Keane Godfrey Digne Allan doucoure Winger James Winger DCL should be interesting to what happens with gomes/davies/gbamin/delph/gylfi.

You’ve had some good posts this morning, must be a new batch of coffee or something Spot on, we still have iwobi and Bernard in a depressed market where most teams don’t have a lot of money due to covid. Plus we have other dead wood. They might not replace anyone, I do wonder if that would change peoples opinion on them coming.

guessing not, transfermarkt showing that kyle butler left a 2nd division austrian club jan 1 2020 and has been without a club since. he's only 23 still so there is time. only articles i found said he played for u23 for jamaica so looks like no first team.

Anyone else doing a double take when they see Rogelio Funes Mori scoring goals for Mexico?
