This is such a suicide move. Neither Bale, nor team nor coach want him to stay at Real. This will create such a bad atmosphere in the whole dressing room. If Bale stays Real will get another mediocre season

That also raises some questions about the relationship between Zidane and the board. He likely had some promised support for the transfer window, but looks like the board still has their own mind on certain things.

I guess it's possible that Zidane also agreed to try to work things out with Bale after the Asensio injury and all that, but the previous media talks certainly didn't seem to consider that as a backup option.

Looks to me like Gareth Bale will be at Real Madrid longer than Zidane at this rate.

Looks like the pepe signing is done, Arsenal rapidly looking like the big winner of this window

Only if we sign tierney and a centre back. At the moment i am not satisfied. Pepe is only a distraction. He will be a huge win if we sign some defenders

I'm not sure if we can get a good CB at this point, but I still have hope we can finish the deal for Tierney

Dybala swap deal with Lukaku is competely nuts, Pedulla is a top tier source when anything concerning Sarri is happening, he was the one who broke everytrhing regarding him coming to Chelsea last summer. He now says that swap deal is done and Lukaku has been left out of the Yanited trip to Norway for their last pre season games....Jesus lol

Mustafi did well in Italy before he joined Arsenal. Maybe some team there has the cash and suitable role.

Koscielny was rumored to go to Dortmund before they got Hummels back, so I guess Germany is an option. For example Leverkusen has a really young defensive line and UCL football coming up, maybe they could use an experienced defensive leader.

Both are almost blind guesses obviously, I really don't have any clue

man this might be even more exciting than the AWB signing if we get dybala, guy is a legit stud who'd immediately start anywhere for us in 3 positions (CF/RW/CAM).

Wow one of my favorite traditions has been taken away.
Every single year RB Salzburg walks the Austrian league, enters CL qualifying and either humiliate themselves massively or slowly gain hope though 2 rounds only to have their dreams crushed in the last minutes.

Not anymore tho, somehow Austria managed to crawl their way ahead of the Netherlands and the Swiss in the UEFA ranking and because both CL and EL were won by the PL they get the last direct group stage spot.
So fuck you pande and the dutch contingent on here, boooooo

Also sidenote @Drone, thats a rough draw for Rosenborg, even if 1-2 away in the first leg is probably a still acceptable result to build on.

Real Madrid's season seems so fubar right now.

Hazard should have stayed at Chelsea for another season.

He has been playing golf instead of playing football and/or associating with his teammates long before the criticism came.

People need to stop portraying Bale as a victim here. He instigated everything, he chose himself not to become part of the club/team/city/culture. He is not a victim

Pulisic dominating with the Blues is awesome to see. Hopefully he can teach the rest of the USMNT a thing or two. If he keeps that up, easy top 3 finish for Chelsea
