La Liga Announce VAR. Catalonia Announce Secession - The Other Teams Thread[R]

That is what I thought as well.
Carlo basically said Flo made me play him on that game so that he could be the youngest starter or something.

 

We considered bringing Lunin back in winter, but Leganes has the power to decide. Also read no mid season option to bring back RDT. Won't be surprised if it's the same with Odegaard. Many were worried whether Vinicius would get enough minutes ahead of Bale, Asensio etc. Injuries and bad form have allowed him to have minutes. Lope didn't think Ode would get minutes with our midfield stacked already. No #10 position in the system and there were players like Ceballos, Llorente waiting for minutes in central midfield. Asensio and Vinicus as back up on the flanks too. Now we have a different coach who's giving minutes to Castilla players even due to the amount of injuries we have had.

 

Yeah I do worry for him (Diaz) and VJ, however compared to Odegaard they are way ahead in the game. They have a manager who likes them and is going to give them chances and there are zero in form players to block their path.

I just hope (for all the parties) that they don't see there chances at the club squandered while they are still only teenagers because there isn't enough stability around them.

 

Top clubs lined up for Vinicius and Rodrygo too. Barca were after Asensio. At least RM fans won't complain if they turn out to be good. Odegaard turned 20 only a month ago.

 

I'd get Ode back next season and get rid of stagnated role players like Lucas. ZZ managed to give minutes to a stack squad in 2016-17 so Ode should at least get the minutes Asensio got that season if we have a coach who trusts young players like Poch. If it's Mou.....

 

The Brazilian league is on par with the Dutch league, miles ahead of the Norwegian league and at 17 Vinicius was already competitive at that level.

The transfer market has also gone berserk and the Brazilian's cost 10X as much as Odegaard so club has greater "interest" in them.

 

James two months out due to a ligament tear in his knee comes in late in the game today and immediately delivers this brilliant pass to Muller who crosses it to Lewa for the goal.. James vision for the game is pure class. He needs to comeback.

Exactly.

We seem aimless just lunging about.

 

After scandalous refereeing in supercup final fans of serie A clubs are teaming up to boycot Juve games.

You might laugh but I think if this would actually happen and Juve had to play all of their away games on empty stadiums they would be out of business two years from now. Nothing would save them, nothing.

 

But they'd only be hurting their own clubs the most. Juve will still get their home stadium revenue and fixed TV money. This won't happen. They should force another Calciopoli type investigation since it's Juve involved and there might be something going on behind the scenes with refs again.

 

During Bielsa's stay in Marseille, Zidane visited the facilities and this moment of conversation between the Argentine and Zizou was captured.

I'm pretty sure the league would take action against the clubs. Relegation or points deductions, suspensions and fines. Italy is corrupt but that's not the right way to address it.

Manchester City have reached an agreement with Hajduk Split to sign the highly rated 18-year-old central midfielder Ante Palaversa for an initial £7m.

If he opened his mouth back then he would get fired.. he can’t be that dumb.

 

As per.

What signals do you want? He’s on loan. No advantage to recalling him. If he was a striker maybe. But he’s settled, let him complete his loan. Not sure what you mean by signals from the club. We gave no signal about Valverde - currently a weekly feature in our line up. You’re sounding like Seedorf.

Ignore the youth investment pattern since signing Ødegaard.

 

Kalidou Koulibaly received a 2 match ban for his "sarcastic applauding of the referee" in a game where he was racially abused from the first minute. Napoli say that this was a great missed opportunity to fight racism".

Italian football is shit and a joke.

 

Marca:

Barcelona winger Malcom has begun to contemplate a move away from the club and given Guangzhou Evergrande's interest, China could be a real possibility for the Brazilian.

 

Good point about Fede. He was on loan at Depor where he wasn't used properly in a team fighting relegation. Club still have him a chance this season. Ode's loan spell this season is going much better compared to that.
