Inter with Nainngolan, Vidal and Modric in the midfield would be scary as fuck

I mean it would be scary because Vidal and Nainngolan are scary.. But it also seems like a recipe for dudes hustling into each others way, and even though Modric is a god, you need slightly better ball play.


Ofc depends on how the team plays or shapes up so but I am not convinced how effective the midfield would be .. but yes I would be scared.. just not of losing.

Sounds like disaster to me. Don't see the synergy.

The best league in England starts on Friday, its also the beginning of Frank Lampard's managerial career. Reading take on The Sheep.
Another wide open. unpredictable year in the Championship?

One thing you ALWAYS know in football, YOU CANNOT PREDICT THE CHAMPIONSHIP lol.

I mean today Stoke are about to sign Ashley Williams, that is a HUGE signing.

Wasn't Milan already breaching the financial fair play stuff? Signing Higuain doesn't seem helpful there.

Also, interesting to see how Hudson-Odoi fares in Chelsea. The highlights against Arsenal seem very mature play for a 17-year-old.

Edit: Apparently the Higuain Transfer is a loan with some 18 million loan fee involved. I wonder how that works out, especially with the contract running out at 2019 anyway. Is this some standard practice?

yes, loans with mandatory buying at the end of the loan period are common to get around ffp regulations
see mbappe and monaco-psg.

didnt hear anything but i assume milan sold bonucci back to juve (and not a loan) so they probably made money?

For less than 20 million to boot, quite a steal.

yea I think he fits in well, brings a lot of experience.
Curious how Meyer's gonna do. There was some drama surrounding bis expiring contract but he's quite the talent I think.

I had vidal and higuain in fifa mobile and they were crushing, glad to see gonzalo has found a home in milan a most beautiful city. best wishes to these players and their families as they move overseas and in to new countries. of course they have money to afford a nice home wherever they choose but when you have kids and are married that can still be difficult. Is vidal signed to barc official?

A stop gap till Rabiot, will probably fit the team for at least 2 years till Barcelona search for the long term solution... Which was supposedly to be Rabiot (or Pogba?)

I think for half the price you sold Paulinho, you take it, proven player, with a lot of talent/skill and a high work rate "leader mentality" player this Barcelona has been lacking lately

Ah yeah. I didn't recognize it from the way transfermarkt had listed it, but that definitely makes sense now.
