Atletico are maximising use of a good player for lowest possible cost, while weakening a rival. Good on them!
Absolutely! Love what they are doing. And shoving one on Barca is always great.
Haaland will break every Premier League goal scoring record this season. There is no other way

The Griezmann contract was probably a forced hand from Barca's side, but I'm curious if this will make clubs rethink the contract clause activation triggers. Right now the situation is terrible for Barca, less than ideal for Griezmann and surely even Atletico would love to have a bit more freedom on how they use him.

It is a lose lose situation caused by Barca alone. If it were up to me, I would ban them from all international competition anyway and force them to the 3rd spanish league.

yeah if this were any other club but barca/rm, la liga or uefa would have stepped in by now.
the way theyre treating their players is basically like mafia.

If the decision was such a problem they shouldn't have taken him back. Atletico is just treating him poorly because they don't want to pay up. It's allowed but I'm not a fan of treating people poorly because they're 'a wanker'.
Some transfer drama from Ajax too. We agreed to buy Ocampos from Sevilla for 20 million but since we're a public company we also have a board. The board blocked the move because they thought it's too expensive for a 28 year old who won't be able to be sold again for a transfer fee. In the end we signed him with a loan for 4m + option to buy of 16m.

So the amount of diving in the eredivisie will likely double from now on.

As much as I wish we were genuine title contenders, I don't see how Man City finishes the season with less than 100 points
|
Well Crystal palace showed that City's weakness is their defense. You just need to try to outscore them. If you sit back and let them come and only do counters then you wont beat city

As much as people sneer at Liverpool only taking home the one league title in this period, I think this season we’ll see just what an achievement trading blows with City was. Or the folks who just love calling every other league a ‘farmers league’.
We’d have had a bunch of seasons of City absolutely caking the league, and they look very much capable of doing it again.
Chelsea can beat anyone on their day, but Tuchel as yet hasn’t converted them into a team that relentlessly wins almost every game. Spurs, and Arsenal on current evidence will take home plenty of points too, but enough?
City have raised the bar that to take home the league the threshold tends to be way up in the 90s, and only Liverpool thus far have shown they can live with that pace.
Hey I hope I’m wrong and we have a thrilling title race with multiple contenders, but I just don’t see it based on these first matchdays

Mourinho wasn't exactly kidding when he said finishing 2nd with MU as one of his crowning achievements.

Yeah. They've been two goals down in a few games already. If the attack slows down, they could be looking more average than City has been in years.
Of course knowing Guardiola, it's more likely that he'll fix the defensive holes too and then it's going to be rough for any competitors.

Will van der Beek ever start another game anywhere?
So many mysteries to be revealed with this squad.
I must confess I do get a little kick from Ronaldo not playing for the pain it causes his most irritating, inescapable fanboys. Nothing against the lad himself mind.

i reckon rodgers is on the hot seat after that loss - losing fofana as well but he's lucky tielemans stayed.

i wasnt actually following football at the time, but was just bored and browsing some sites, netflix recently released a figo documentary of his transfer from barca to madrid. damn that first game back at camp nou was something.
wonder if it would get that crazy these days, figo flip flopped so hard lol

I am really not a big fan of tuchel but its not his problem that both his centre backs left and kante is getting old so basicslly chelseas complete defensive structure has to be replaced
