I guess as a Chelsea fan now I know how everyone else felt a decade ago when we were poaching the bests player on the market left and right lol :D the Italians went crazy with the transfer fees in the 90's, so really in the end they started it
I'm just happy we have stabilized as a top club in europe and or Mr. Mou is back where he belongs, especially the new club policy of bringing in talent when they are young and having them grow with the club, you can have your Cavani's and Falcao's.

Well yes and no.
Of course Chelsea went a bit "ham" at the start, HOWEVER, since the start of our tenure we have been growing our image so that we can get own stability in terms of revenue to out goings on transfers etcetc. Then 3-4 years ago FFP rules came in and we tried even harder to stick to the rules given to us and the rest of the footballing world, however now Platini seems to be squirming his way out of it as clubs he "likes" are going to be hit the most or have just been taken over etc. He was soon to jump on Man City to say they are going to "look" into the rulings of sponsorship deals from parent companies that own clubs. In other words your owners business can't sponsor your club and chuck in ridiculous money to balance the books. (What PSG are trying to do as well?)

If PSG Man City Monaco actually look like they want to do it properly then i have no problem, but at the moment none of the 3 teams are looking to just buy a lot of players for reasonable prices, they are buying few players for over exaggerated prices


Monaco has one of the best youth academys' in france, they have history and the previous season they built a balanced team to gain promotion, the only thing they don't have is a home fanbase and sponsors, and we all know that those are things which will likely change this coming season.

Were exactly do these fans of Monaco come from anyway? As far as I know Monte Carlo hasn't got that big of a population and most homeowners don't live there all year round, I know Italians go there because its the only place they can gamble, probably the same goes for the French but they already have big clubs around them in France.
Average home attendance in league 2 was somewhere around 4,5k, average attendance during the golden Champions League era was I think 11k

Watch a game involving Germany or America, they're really good.


Germany's been fucking awful so far, and I tried really, really hard to be as biased as possible in their favor while watching their games. Games like the last Women's World Cup show us that the women's game has come a long way, but it's still got a ways to go.

The Bundesliga will begin to require players to take blood tests after matches(?). My German isn't very good.

I'm kinda surprised that they didn't do this already.

And yet another spanish mid-tier team star player goes to the Premier money league xD Honestly I love the PL since always, it has always been the best afaik, but the brit guys who complain about the Liga being a thing of two teams need to realize that is a big reason for that.

Rough translation:
- Up until now they only had urin tests X times a year
- some of these tests are now going to be replaced by blood tests
- Overall number of tests is still X
- These tests are held during training sessions

Well Cavani is young and if you look at the list of players PSG bought you will see they buy very young too... Lucas, Veratti, Matuidi, Menez, Pastore, Sirigu. As they are a new team they needed some big names to start their marketing operation I guess, that's why they got Ibra, T Silva, Motta, Lavezzi and Beckhma. But their plan is to get young players + maybe one or two older players to contain them. They are (probably) not following the rules of the FFP and I don't like teams built like this but you don't have a lot of options to create a good team in a short time...

Pretty sure Germany are ranked #2 in the world?

In any case, they're definitely up there

Japan actually has better technical skills than the US, but US outclasses everyone in athleticism and offensive firepower by a lot. Also last world cup France looked to have a very promising team with good technical skills too.

Also I would be probably be checking out the Copa Libertadores final but can't find it on TV here.
Yeah, well, you know, that's just like, your opinion man

FRISCO, Texas – FC Dallas has signed Argentine midfielder Mauro Díaz, pending receipt of his International Transfer Certificate, the club announced today. Per league and team policy, terms of the agreement will not be disclosed.

“Mauro Diaz is a young prospect who fits the profile FC Dallas was looking to add,” said FC Dallas technical director Fernando Clavijo. “We’re excited to see how he will complement an already very talented offensive lineup as we head into the second half of the season with the goal of winning the MLS Cup.”

Díaz made his debut for famed Argentine side River Plate as a 17-year-old on Sept. 21, 2008. The attacking midfielder scored three goals in 53 appearances for the Argentine first division team before being loaned to Chilean first division side Unión Española for the 2012 season.

so I guess FFP is a joke. Man Utd hasn't bought anyone who will make the squad better next season. Strootman was taken by Roma for a more than fair price of 18 mil euros or something. Moyes and the new director seem to be out of their depth, no Thiago, Strootman, and probably no Cesc either. Not to mention the backline needs strengthening too.

why does their backline need strengthening? i wouldnt call our backline "weak" compared to most other teams. ferdinand is getting old but we have jones and evans. vidic can still play well for a couple more years assuming he stays clear of injuries. we have a solid right back and some decent young players lined up to replace evra too.

If no one gets injured then sure it's not so bad but that never happens. Smalling is a major question mark. Buttner not that good. Phil Jones is regressing. Rafael improved a lot but still too temperamental.
