There have been some years where Norway's u20 or whatever was really really good while our senior team has sucked balls and then people suddenly become very interested in the u20 and start watching that. I could see the same being the case for Korea.

Plus the u20 team isn't even the best one as the U17 euros was on last week and in a few weeks the u21 championships are also on. So it isn't even the best u20s in the country im sure lol.

Why is that absurd?

Have you ever seen Bernardo playing?

He's a potential Iniesta in the makings. He's really really good and would be perfect for Guardiola Play Style.

I really think it's the best solution for the player and the trainer.

He may be good, but 80k euros is still crazy..

wasn't his release clause something ludicrously low like 25m gbp or did they fix it up? i remember always snapping him up in my FM saves cause he was so fucking cheap for the talent you get.

re: why everyone is watching korean u-20 team - typical korean pride, also a lot of people (including NT members themselves) are grossly annoyed at uli stielike and want him out of the setup, presumably replaced by the u-20 manager shin tae-wook.



damn his english is good.

Two Korean friends have now asked me if I am watching the football. I had no idea what they where talking about. There is aparently a U-20's World Cup going on in Korea right now and England are playing Korea in front of 35,000 in Suwon. It's hard explaining to my Korean friends we don't give a shit about U-20's football and the game isn't even on the tely in England and if the game itself was in England there would only be about 500 people watching it. The England players must be wondering what the hells going on.

I am confused as to whether Korea just cares a lot more about youth football or maybe they just heard Korea vs England and don't realise it's not the actually the national teams. Anyway quite a big cultural difference. Maybe we should care more about youth football.

edit: I don't like the use of the word youth there. It sounds like I am talking about kids. Can't think of a better way to phrase it.

koreans have much more interest in national teams and i said this before, but players also seem to play with much more pride compared to european teams.
theres added interest this time though because of a couple rising stars who we are hoping can carry the senior team eventually. the korean barcelona players especially draw much attention

Reports of Manchester City closing in on Ederson Moraes for €40m. The man is a beast of a gk already at 23... am more excited about him than I was about Oblak.

I thought TheNewEra's horrendous experience deserved more comment or at least sympathy than it recieved. But I guess it's hard to add much more than sorry man, that's horrible.

Man City now have Bernardo Silva and David Silva to cause confusion to those not paying enough attention.

I was dissapointed Exeter didn't sell out St James Park for our Play off Semi final victory we got 7,000 in and usual attendance is normally between 3,000-4,000, So I guess that's pretty good. Blackpool couldn't quite get 4,000 people in for their biggest game of the season. WTF 4,000 weren't they in the Premier League?

edit: Oh Blackpool fans were boycotting the game. That makes semse.

Out of boredom today since I had to go to school but most of my lessons were cancelled I was looking at the WIki article about one club men. I guess they will become few and far between in the modern era. I actually didn't know Messi and Iniesta came through the youth academy and never played at any other club. That's pretty impressive. I was under the impression Madrid and Barcelona just bought the best players but I stand corrected.

I'm sure this fine will stop sketchy transfers in the future.

An agent having a substantial share of the players' rights isn't in itself a crime. That tweet also doesn't mention what the infraction was.

Agreed, although making 41m off an 89m transfer is a bit absurd for the middle man, and the rules need to be looked at. And Raiola is a despicable turd of a man. But the point is that there was apparently something wrong somewhere in the transfer financing... and as punishment they have to pay complete peanuts in comparison to the money they made.

True, but 60,000€ is less than peanuts at the level Juve and Raiola are operating at.

Raiola seems to have so much power. He represents an insane amount of players.

I don't agree we should get rid of them. They serve a useful purpose for players. Say about Raiola what you want but he's able to place nearly all his players at a club. It seems to me like they have too much power atm though.

You really think any of Raiola's players would have trouble finding a club without him? Maybe they'd get less money and maybe the transfers would be less expensive, but fucking hell, that would purely be a good thing. Less money in the sport, cheaper tickets, cheaper tv licenses, lower wages for every player and manager in the premier league and teams with comparable economy, that'd all be really positive imo.
