Sounds pretty much like Chalobah. Great potential, kinda wasted. Lets hope Forest sign him and can turn him around.
On good (and sad) news: If Bayern winns this years Bundesliga they will make more then 50 million € from the TV contracts, a record for Bundesliga. The second will most likely go above 50 too.
This is great seeing Bundesliga growing and really sad at the same time you realice Cardiff City (the least amount of money in PL) made 76,3 Million.
No wonder they are doing so good in european leagues right?
Casillas to Arsenal or Diego Lopez to Napoli? What will be? (I don't think both will leave)
btw, It is suspicious that the first "clasico" of La Liga will be the same day that Suarez prohibition ends. Super coincidence? or a really fixed draw?

I dont think so. These schedule arent easy to make and they are made months in advance, Suarez suspencion is only a couple of weeks old. Also Suarez will never have practiced with the team so if he plays that day it will be a big advantage for Real.
And even if i dont see whats wrong with it. The league makes the schedule and wants it stars to play. The Russian league is pretty extreme with fixing, they give teams weeks of rest before CL games.

Well we had 1 team in the Champions League semi final, we also had 1 team take Bayern really close even though they finished mid table in Premiership. So i wouldn't say that bad at all? I also raise you that no one cares about the Europa League due to its prize money in England. Like you just said finishing bottom gets you more than top place in Bundesliga, Europa league just causes havoc to your chances in premier league due to playing Thursday in Romania/Ukraine to then Sunday in England it just doesn't help anyone.
The prize money for Premier league is about to get EVEN BIGGER btw as we have stupid BT Sport going absolutely crazy in bidding war with Sky taking off games from them 2015 there will be 0, i repeat 0 champions league games on Sky sports as BT won the right with £867million deal with UEFA.....then they also are carving up some premier league games and will be taking more over the next few seasons. It is absolutely crazy.

Oh yeah probably passing level the same as Chalobah but no, not the same player as Nathaniel has the strength and physical prowess needed to make it. Josh, not so much xd

I can see that argument for clubs like ManUtd or Chelsea that they dont care much about Europa League but smaller clubs get exposition because of it. Like a team like Swanse City can benefit because i am pretty sure you avarage European viewer will not know players from there. Also personally for players or coaches you want to be upgradet to the big guns at some point and "semi final european league" is not quite bad.
I also see that the prizes in PL are heavily inflated but the thing you can do with 50 - 100 million more then the other ro16 EL clubs is just roster depth. I just dont quite understand were all this money goes or why the clubs dont make a stand there to stop the inflation of wages and transfer fews.
I dont argue that England should dominate EL but the past years there were countries lice swiss or the netherlands that did way better. Motivated or not teams with 500% the budget should do better in the long run.
Mourinho confirms Courtios (aka Artosis) will be at Chelsea next season;
My situation for the season is fantastic,’ continued Mourinho. ‘To have Petr Cech and Courtois is fantastic. I have the best young goalkeeper in the world. I have one of the top three, top five experienced goalkeepers in the world. For me and for Chelsea, the situation is perfect.
‘One will play, and Chelsea are in safe hands for because they are both very good players.’
I really hope courtois is our new number 1. I really like Cech, but it's about time he makes way for Courtois. He's still a top keeper, no doubt about that. Just not as sharp as he used to be.
Oh ty Beater i was just talking to Mensol about that.
He ladies and Gentleman is 17year old from France :D #SICKK Mini Hazard the way he plays, touch and always looks to beat his opponent, 17!! vs an Austrian team already into their domestic season and he did that xD

Clubs can't just make a stand. Football generates massive amounts of money because of players, so their wages need to reflect that. A majority of a teams proceeds should go toward wages. Transfer fees creep up for the same reason, as Football begins to bring in more money the players become worth more.
I don't really have a problem with it. If one team (PSG) just wants to screw the system (FFP) and spend massive amounts of cash on building a team far above the level of their league then let them. It's all taxable and helps fund things like roads, bridges, police and other infrastructure.
As for where all the money goes, most teams are in fairly sizable debt. A portion of that transfer fee is used to pay off debt, a large portion becomes the governments through taxes, the board puts some into the club and some into replacing the player sold. When it gets diluted down like that I can see why many teams aren't able to spend exactly what they receive in transfer fees.
Serbian media (citing Spanish media) reporting that the plane that fell in Mali killing over 110 people was property of Real Madrid from 2007 till 2009.
How is it more feasible to buy and privetly own such a large aircraft (including maintenance, fuel ect.) than to just strike a deal with an airline company and buy cheaper bulk tickets? Ok, I can understand buying a bus, but a DC-9?

I haven't watched much about that story but they said the Algerian airline company was renting it from A Swiss based company. It’s probably routine for airlines to rent extra planes when they think they are going be busier and it’s probably quite routine for big sporting clubs to rent them too. I'm not an expert on any of this but it doesn't sound surprising to me. -- I watched United against LA and it looked pretty comfortable for United I guess not a lot can really be drawn from pre season friendly’s as they are never quite going to have the passion of a proper match. Robby Keane got told off by the referee for a challenge that wasn’t even a foul but probably not in the spirit of a friendly. That sums up the difference.
I guess its more about getting the defence together for United than anything else at the moment. So much change at the back for them just need a few games of playing together to get used to each other. They probably could have done with a slightly more attacking LA team to test them a bit more really.
Also my team Exeter City are off in Brazil to play their pre seasons. Exeter City jetsetting around the world eih. Apparently the Brazil national teams first ever game was against us.
