Joe Allen to Stoke FC- Juventus tell United to add another €10m to their €120m bid for Paul Pogba This is getting ridic. They obviously don't want to sell, and the player isn't worth that amount of money
- Arsenal can’t stop taking L’s over Serie A transfer targets#banter
- Arsenal Goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny to Re-Join Serie A Side Roma on Season-Long Loan likes Rome
- Southampton to complete summer spending with £5m bid for Tottenham full-back !!!
- Distraught Liverpool star Nathaniel Clyne calls in police after sex tape is leaked on the internet You think footballers would have learnt by now...Why would you let someone tape you whilst having sex- if it's not your profession?
- Varane plans Madrid stay Lovely city, good club, assured of winning trophies... why leave?
- James Rodriguez hoping for more game time at Real Madrid This might be a problem during the season, tbh. Zizou isn't sold, to the point where (allegedly) Ronaldo intervened to make him stay. Flo Po knows that James is popular in South America due to his pretty, but for Zizou, James is surplus to requirements. This isn't over by a long shot
- At a meeting in CT, Corinthians Agrees to Sell Alexandre Pato Villarreal Pato's European adventure continues
Pictures
Balotelli is still at LFC, training with the reserves, whilst his agent shops around for a new club. Oh, and he's taking pictures at weddings, too!
One of the nicer bridesmaids' dresses I've seen, tbh. Interesting neckline, a colour and shape that suits all the bridesmaids- praise to the bride! May your marriage be long, filled with laugher and always in the sun!
After enough elbows in his side, Harry Kane is about to be a dad. He's said that his gf wanted children (before he went off to the Euros). At twenty two though, what's the rush? But then I remember footballers are different to all of us. They already have financial independence and shelter, so children are just a formality. Still... damn, homie!
Preseason preparations (some pictures and gossip)
For the past two years running, Barcelona have been doing preseason training at St George's park in Stafforshire. With the English summers being mild or non existent, it's ideal for the Spanish players. It's ironic that a LOT of foreign teams do use the property, while Roy Hodgson HATED the place, and preferred to train at Watford or Spurs's training centre instead
Mamadou Sakkou's future at LFC is in doubt, because he seems 'unsettled'
I don't think I'll ever be a Foxes fan, although Ranieri is all right
England NT
Big Sam is England manager, and it's been interesting, the reactions to his appointment. The Daily Mail talked up Roy Hodgson even in the first match of the Euros when everyone had concerns about the set up, but with Big Sam, they're equating him to Graham Taylor (crap English NT manager), the DM is always out to make mischief, it's one of the reasons why Britain is now out of the EU and no one has a clue where we are. Anyway! The Independent was no less scathing, saying the Toilet Duck would have been a better choice. SMH. Klinsmann is not all that as a coach and I'm GLAD the FA didn't get him.
If Allardyce can coax Nike to design a better kit - wtf is this? Word has it that the England Nike kit bombed, and I say, thank G*d.
His first press conference - he seemed pleased! It's well known that he's wanted the job since 2006, when he famously rocked up with power point presentation only for the FA not to have the equipment. T_T. So far, so encouraging in that Rooney isn't nailed on to be NT captain (himself, Cahill, Milner, Lallana and Hart should be moved on, tbh. Or with Hart, dropped so that Forester can have a chance to prove himself). Make me believe, Big Sam! #iwanttobelieve
Football confessions
Why does Ronaldo give you chest aches?
Still SMH at Goetze going back to Dortmund.
I agree
I hear you, but right now, they're the only club who seem to be committed to bringing in British players through. Not even Soton are looking to do that anymore. For that alone, I do wish 'em success
Always room for fun football!
Draxler looks like a refined version of McNair, no?
I... guess.
OP: done! Cheers, jeers, corrections, commentary pushback and overlooked news, you know the drill!
