£58million we paid, with addons supposedly involved. I think it pretty good deal in this market though, not in previous markets for sure.

Also confirmed earlier the African Cup of nations is to change it's tournament date. From January causing grief in European leagues, to June/July time (it expands teams to 24 meaning longer tournament)

Good news for any teams with African players in Europe!

Lukaku and Rashford scored again against City Sweet pre-season

Now if we can score another signing on the midfield before the end of August that'd be awesome

Yeah nice work MLS getting video ref in. Was surprised myself when England are going to be so far behind on this one, not coming to us until 2018-19 season iirc.

Also a good source says Barcelona have bid £72million for Coutinho from Liverpool....Neymar replacement?

Coutinho would be wasted at Barça If they do sell Neymar, please spend the cash on players actually needed...

Meanwhile in Germany, Bayern, Dortmund and Leipzig have closed the transfer window.

We're heading towards some crazy 31st august panic buys at this rate.

agreed. he's good, but I don't see how he's a starter for barcelona. bad deal for both clubs and the player imo; barcelona splashes money on a squad rotation player, liverpool needs the player more than they need the money, and coutinho is gonna be frustrated on the bench. I guess I can see how playing 15 games per season for barcelona and maybe getting a top trophy is more attractive than being liverpool's star player, so maybe it's a good deal for him, but imo, it looks bad for both clubs.

Any idea who Real are after right now? Depending a little on how you look at their roster, Benzema is the only well established striker I can find. Even if he still has a good season in him, it's going to be very tricky with injuries and tight fixtures.

Who needs strikers when you have Sergio Ramos?
They have 5 in front: CR, Bale, Benzema, Asensio, Vasquez. Should be enough? Maybe they'll get a cheaper striker like they did with Adebayor/Chicharito, until they can sign Mbappe.

To be fair he doesnt really play like a striker either. Between Bale, Vasquez, Ronaldo and Benzema the line is pretty solid and could maybe use another up and comer as backup.

Yay fuck Costa and Morata, Spain should line up Azpi and Ramos upfront while Martinez holds the line with Pique.

Real signed a striker i thought? So Benzema and Ronaldo to step in. Think they don't need anyone really but they might get someone.
Midfield they signed Ceballos who is really high regarded.

Oh no i got confused with Junior xD

Yeah they signed that guy, but I don't think they expect him to perform this year.

Yes look at the shit that is pulled every year in this tournament, look at last year where one country had players fake an injury then start to be carried off only to jump off and try and get possession, let's not forget certain country where they were intentionally trying to injure players of the Mexico National team.

Ban them until they can prove they are more disciplined etc.

I agree the referees should be stricter but we can't ban half of the countries participating at the world cup. It's just how professional football works in many countries unfortunately.


Not talking about the World Cup, the Gold Cup, what chances do any of the countries of El Salvador, Honduras have of even qualifying for the World Cup.


Wow, now you sound very racist. I guess not surprising from the country who voted Trump as president...
You do know that Honduras was in the past WC?

Whether you agree or not, how is what he said racist exactly? Please try to keep your reactionary emotional responses and shitty politics to a minimum.

Hmm...

I thought Benzema and Morata were filling a certain center forward role for Real, but maybe they'll sort it out with existing roster. I still can't quite piece together how they'll play it if Benzema isn't available, but I guess we'll see it at some point.

Vinicius Junior is 16 and cannot be signed yet, he will move to Real in 2 years.
EDIT: He just turned 17 last week.
