I was in London this weekend. Had no need to talk about football with a bunch of rednecks.

Poppycock.

*second (own goals count as regular goals, sadly)
**match (didn't you just come from London?)

But thanks! When can we expect to see Tottenham actually put together a winning performance?

Inter is in some serious financial trouble. Could be looking at the beginning of a fire sale.

It must be nice to think that winning [cough cough cough] matches [cough] is secondary to scoring multiple goals.

It's a joke, because he said he was in London last weekend.

I wouldn't do it for anyone except my favorite Spurs fan.

Is he really that much of a team cancer?


I wouldn't say a cancer, in the sense that he seems well liked by the other players..

But from most accounts, he's still just immature and doesn't train seriously, etc. So, I think BR has had it with him... I like him and think he could come good, but I kinda have to side with our manager on this one..

I think that the girlfriend's model pose in the middle of a normal family photo is what's throwing me off

According to WAZ, a local paper in Wolfsburg, De Bruyne has told Wolfsburg that he wants to leave. Rumored that City's offer could exceed 50 mil pounds and wages of 16 mil per season, compared to 11 mil that Wolfsburg was willing to increase KDB's wages to.

Otamendi deal is supposed to be wrapped up in 24 hours apparently. Probably means it won't happen until next week lol.

Mateo Kovacic assured during his unveiling that he is most at home operating as an anchorman, but will gladly play wherever he is asked to.

Playing position: "I'm most comfortable as a defensive midfielder, but it's up to the coach to decide."

Modric, the key to his signing: "I'm sure that Luka has done a lot to bring me here. He's a great friend and a brilliant player. I'm delighted to be able to share a dressing room with him."

On Benítez: "I've spoken to him and he welcomed me. I know him from his time at Napoli and I'm happy to have such a great coach."

Ronaldo fan: "They're all phenomenal, but the player I'm most excited about playing with is Ronaldo. He's the best and scores the most goals."

How his transfer transpired: "It happened in three or four days; it all went so quickly. An offer came in and they reached an agreement. I didn't have to think about it. We're very happy."

GREAT place to be in late Spring and Summer. Good football fans, as well.

Very good place for him to develop.

Unless I missed something I think Inter is in pretty decent shape?

Their new owner Thohir is investing funds and changing the focus to buying lots of younger talent and expanding revenue streams.

What they do have is a lot of debt and that's why they have been penalized by FFP due to not reducing it in the quantity FFP demands.


However, that kind of shows how absurd FFP is:

Inter "reduce debt" by selling Kovacic and buying Kondogbia for the same price becuase they can claim the entire €35m on Kovacic this calendar year but stagger the payments for Kondogbia.

If they don't make CL this year they'll do the same next summer if FFP is still in place: sell an expensive younger player to a club that runs a tight financial ship like Real Madrid to buy the expensive players they need right away. Remember Kovacic wasn't even a regular starter for them.

I feel like Kovacic is making the worst possible career move. He's a talented young guy but like you said, he didn't even lock down a full time spot at Inter. I understand the allure of Real Madrid but I wish some of these guys would show restraint.
