News: Showing Us How It's Done - The Other Teams Thread [R]

Per Skysports, Real have completed the signing of Jovic for 52mil Pounds. Guessing that Hazard should be following in relatively short order.

 

I thought it meant something else

 

Word is that Vinicius Jr, David Neres and Lucas Moura are fighting for one spot in Brazil's Copa America squad. Honestly, don't think it's a straightforward answer either, with all 3 players (including Moura) having solid claims to be the guy.
Personally, it probably is coming down to Neres and Vinicius, just because they're the longer term prospects (with the experience being a positive for them in the long term).
Vinicius is the more ballyhooed name but I'm a Neres fan and think he'd be a good piece to the Brazilian squad. They do provide something Brazil didn't have in Russia (a lively wide threat from the left). Guessing that's a good problem for Tite to have but it's still not an easy choice at all.

 

Watching US v Mexico in the U17 CONCACAF Championship Final. Got me pumped for the U17 and U20 WC's.

Sidenote: Gio Reyna towers over kids his age. Really curious how things work out for him at Dortmund.

Matteo Bonetti from ESPN has been actively talking about that for weeks and also claims that Juve will go all in on Pep. The latter made me believe that it was all smoke. And while I believe that the possibility Pep could leave might seem remote (guessing he wants one more crack at least at the CL), those reports don't sound that crazy anymore. Where will Allegri end up next though?
The possibility of a European ban though for City, if it were to come down somehow, could possibly change everything as well.

 

Again, perhaps we should have waited until the end of the season...

 

Scenes when Mourinho signs for Juve.

 

They may go for Pocchetino.

 

Guys like Conte (or even possibly Deschamps) would seem more likely candidates than Mourinho in my estimation.

 

Both Jose and Conte are free. There are also rumors of allegri replacing sarri at Chelsea.Alternatively Pulls and big sam are also free[emoji6]

 

Rigid boring style.. Allegri at Juve was failure..

 

I'd gladly take that kind of 'failure' pretty much anytime...

 

Big Sam can win Serie A with Juve ..

Rumors that Everton are in for Mitrovic. IMO, he'd really improve a handful of PL clubs. Hes big, physical, decent goalscorer, and PL proven. Plus he wouldnt cost a fortune. Hes perfect for Everton as they sorely miss an actual 9 in the team.

That is some legit talent that Tite is leaving behind. Love the inclusion of Neres in the end, but it's still a surprise that Vinicius has been left off. I wonder if he's completely recovered from his injury. Neres is no slouch though and perhaps could put himself even more in the shop window.
Fabinho is another mild surprise, but as long as Casemiro is available, opportunities for any other DCM will be limited. Not to mention that Fernandinho has been solid as ever once again this season.
Looking forward to this tournament and hope that Brazil can win it all: I imagine that they are the favorites to win it (especially being at home), although Uruguay could be a legitimate threat.

 

RECORD: Kai Havertz is the first teenager in Bundesliga history to score 17 goals in a single season.

So much for hope for Dortmund (as Frankfurt equalized not long ago vs Bayern), Munich have retaken the lead from Alaba's rebound.
Dortmund still lead 0-1 at Gladbach (Sancho with 12th goal, plus 14 assists). Make that 2, with Reus finishing on Pulisic's cross.
Renato Sanches makes it 3-1 for Bayern: the title appears destined to remain in Bavaria for another season.

 

I would like to see this. [emoji6]
