Hmm yea selling Matic is good, getting Bakayoko may be an upgrade, but I'd like Chalobah to get more playing time. Guy has impressed me every time despite his limited minutes. I think Chalobah's ready, and we don't need another obstacle to him becoming first team material.
Reason i been watching him even closer in the Euros for England he is doing well there, but got injured in the last game and is a doubt vs Germany in the semi final tomorrow 
He defo should be used as one of the 4 CMs we go into next season with imo. Matic cost us 30million, we selling him to 40million and his replacement a 22 year old is coming in for 35 million. So good business all round i guess.

I hope Conte can turn Bakayoko in a top player for France, he still has some holes in his play, he's not bad with the ball but his decisions are sometimes lacklustre. He's a beast physically though, perfect for PL in that aspect.
Winnng some money while trading Matic for Bakayoko is a very good deal imo but you can't toally rule out a "Sissoko" turn of events. On the other hand, Conte's history of transfers for Juventus was mostly hits, so who am I to question him?

that headline feels like straight from the onion

Nice to see some upgrade from Pardiola and Big Sam.

Ouch, this stuff always feels embarassing: van Gaal, Koeman, and now this guy.
Hard to say what's going to happen though, de Boer isn't a great manager in my book, but he is practical and, in my opinion, doesn't always want to play beautiful football. But I'm afraid he might clash with one of the big ego players, which will turn people against him.

They seem to publish a bit every day. I won't link them but what is said so far:
-3 executive members of the FIFA who are/were entitled to vote for the WC location we're flown to Rio de Janeiro to a party by Qatar directly before the vote. Obviously Hotel and all other costs inclusive.
-Directly after the vote a FIFA executive member congratulated the Qataris and thanked them for the transfer of multiple 100,000€ to his bank account
-2,000,000€ landed on the bank account of the 10 year old child of a high ranking FIFA member. Origin unclear.
-one of Blatters closest underlings wooed the Qataris for a big job for the construction company of her husband
Honestly they are pretty vague so far. They basically confirmed today that they are going to publish bits every day.

"This club can grow further and further," he said. "They spend a lot of money and there is the possibility to do something well with that money.
This is the full quote. It's really not embarrassing. BBC just made it like that for the views.
Why isn't he a great manager in your book? He didn't really well at Ajax. 4 league wins in 6 seasons while we hadn't won the league for ages before that.

Facebook Inc. will stream more than a dozen matches from European soccer’s top tournament, the highest-profile event to join the small but growing lineup of live sports programming.
Starting in September, the social network will show live Champions League matches in the U.S. through a partnership with Fox Sports. The deal with the sports division of 21st Century Fox Inc. includes double-headers during the group stage, four Round of 16 games and four quarterfinal matches.
Neither company would disclose the financial terms of their agreement. The games are part of the Facebook’s strategy to entice advertisers to spend more money at a higher rate. It hasn’t sold advertising against the Champions League matches, but it could start by the time they begin.
Sports is particularly attractive because live, unscripted events draw large numbers of viewers who want to talk about the game on social media. Twitter Inc., which has aggressively pursued the rights to stream games of all kinds, has committed to live video programming 24 hours a day.
Facebook has been more deliberate. Soccer is already the most-followed sport on the social network. Last year 3.7 million users tuned in to watch a Wayne Rooney-sponsored charity match between Everton and Manchester United. As for the European professional tournament, 34 million people had 98 million interactions on Facebook related to the Champions League final in which Cristiano Ronaldo’s Real Madrid beat Juventus of Italy.
Earlier this year Facebook struck a deal with Univision Communications Inc. to broadcast live games from Mexico’s top soccer league. The company also reached a deal with Univision and Major League Soccer to stream live MLS games, as well as highlights and analysis programming around those games.
Fox Sports already produces original programming for Facebook, including a weekly soccer show. Some of the Champions’ League games that will stream online won’t air on on TV -- Fox has historically put them on its internet-connected apps -- but the network thinks this deal will give the games a wider audience.
“There are more matches in English and Spanish than we have networks to air them on,” David Nathanson, head of business operations at Fox Sports, said in an interview. “Facebook has one of the most social soccer audiences on the web, and this is going to expose the Champions’ League to fans who aren’t tuning into a game on TV.”
Facebook has been hosting video for a few years, and two years ago began sharing advertising revenue with some companies that uploaded clips. The success of that experiment persuaded Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg to adopt what he’s called a “video first” strategy.
“We’re excited to help Fox reach new audiences, people consuming content on digital, mobile and social,” said Dan Reed, Facebook’s head of global sports partnerships. “We’re bullish on soccer.”

everytime I see our U21 and Confed teams I'm annoyed. The fact that Löw was allowed to take like half of our U21 starting team to the Confed cup basically makes both teams mediocre. Gonna predict England to win it today.
Edit: Well that was lucky. Referees prove to be consistently bad in both tourneys.
Edit to the Edit: Huh real time and first angles made it look like a sure penalty for England. Different angle (from the front) made it look like Jung hit the ball first.

Poor Germans, their endless stream of talents can't fill two very good U21 sides :p
It should have been one penalty for each side so far, weird ref.

I think the confed cup is a better experience for your young players than this U21 tourney. good choice from Löw imo.
