wtf? cardiac arrest from a youth? thats pretty rare isnt it?
did he have a heart condition beforehand

Very rare. My friend had it and I had to go to the hospital for it as well. The surgeon was like 'wtf you're not 50 wtf are you doing here'. Apparently he's stable now. Reanimating took like 10 minutes though so that doesn't look good at all. Nouri was insanely talented as well.

@Pande

I thought Chelski board was a major influence in Lukaku? They thought he was overrated for the price and Conte telling them to get him no matter what and all.

Well i doubt we will ever know 100% for sure unless conte releases a book or something.
Journalists have all said;
Conte wants him no matter the price
Conte didn't want him, it was Emanalo (our director of football (who is an idiot)) who wanted him and they never bid for him, which showed they backed Conte the manager

Then you have the, Chelsea board were told Lukaku wanted to join us and were so confident they might have been a bit slow on the negotiating / actioning side due to rumors were told them we are going to pay £60million for him only.

Add in that Lukaku told Drogba his idol who he supposedly talks to everyday that he wants to come to Chelsea that it was all done and dusted.

Conte supposedly not that too unhappy at Chelsea after he is just blaming Raiola and Lukaku for lying to him, but again i doubt we will ever know that truth.

Haha Belotti/Augamon/Morata seem like the options left in the market. Yesterday it was "all but done" with Sanchez joining Man City for £50million.

Personally in my opinion currently one of the most overrated players, especially of the German ones. But I won't deny he has the talent to become one of the best. Hyped for how Conte is gonna shape him

Edit: Why are non-German speakers typing ü=u, ö=o, ä=a even tho it doesn't sound anything like it, instead of ü=ue and so on?

It will be the 2nd leg of the round of 16 against PSG, you will lead 2-0 and have it in the bag, Rüdiger will lose his cool, bitch slap the linesman on a routine throw in and you will rue this day.
Guy is an overrated hot head wit h a talent for losing it in crucial situations.

Only seen his youtube highlights. Guy tackles hard, feels reckless at times. I think he can be good, but not really liking him...

Oh man Rooney back to Everton. Sad to see him go even though he wasn't really playing well, I felt there might still be a place for him in midfield. Gonna be weird seeing him in an Everton jersey again after spending most of his career at Old Trafford. All the best Rooney!!

If you wanted us to type ue, you should get rid of the tremas too and write ue too. It's the internet, people are not going to bother with punctuation marks. And frankly speaking, the whole idea of dots making letters different is crappy language design (not just your language, obviously).

On topic: i watched ruEdiger during Confed Cup, I think I agree with you. He has good raw potential, but he's definitely not at Chelsea level yet. I just hope he gets enough time on the pitch...

I suppose lukaku and kdb are good examples to youngsters who have whined and complained about lack of first team football. Prove yourself first in a middle team, and the offers and opportunities will come soon enough. Sometimes you may have to take a pay cut if necessary, but it is all for the long term good. Instead of crying about being frozen out, whether deservingly or unfairly, rebuild yourself and don't waste your development/prime years sulking.

Wouldn't have been a paycut either for those two you mention. Im sure the Everton deal he signed was more money than he was being paid at Chelsea as he was young then. So yeah don't sign for big clubs first just get proving yourself and then go to big clubs, or enjoy the loan experience if you coming to Chelsea xD

to be fair most of these young players do not have the maturity or experiences needed to make the right decision for their career so getting a good agent does play a big role in their career path ... more than often young players with somewhat potential are influenced by their agents to "demand" more from their teams to boost up their transfer value so that they can get a better cut ...

Yes. Raiola and his ilk are the scourge of the football business.

Interesting
Bayern Munich have gotten James Rodriguez from Real Madrid. 2 year loan deal with the option to buy at the end. Thought he was premiership bound!
