IIRC he said in an interview that he'll sign a contract extension when he turns 18. We'll know his decision soon enough.

April fool's in that case ... but yea it's an aggregator not bothered by quality.

Isn't his graduation day coming up soon?

Mueller isn't exactly a convential striker (he provided the 2nd most assists in the BuLi and that's why he got a mention) ... why don't you compare KDB to Junuzovic, the second-most creative BuLi player, with a pass success percentage that's even below 70%? For a Wolfsburg player KDB's pass success percentage is what you'd expect it to be ... if KDB was a Leverkusen player his pass success percentage would probably drop (e.g. Bellarabi 65% or Calhanoglu 67%) ... if he was a Bayern player, most likely it would go up. Next season we can judge KDB's performances in the Champions League ... I'm betting his pass success percentage will be over 80%. IMAO the solidity fetish is reaching perverse levels

Do you like forward thinking players or is it a safe back pass that makes you jump out of your seat? Among the top BuLi players for assists KDB comes off well ... Mueller (71%; a pass success percentage lower than that of KDB) isn't nearly as constructive as KDB while Bayern have the highest pass accuracy in the BuLi, Junuzovic's pass success percentage is even below 70%, etc. PS KDB's pass success percentage was over 80% in the EL and during the Brazil2014 campaign.

Any truth to this ... https://sports.vice.com/article/gun-wielding-teammate-has-two-of-turkeys-top-soccer-players-afraid-to-play-for-national-team

So far KDB has provided 26 assists ... according to kicker.de - 18 in 27 Bundesliga matches (and 9 goals) - 2 in 3 DFB-Pokal matches - 6 in 10 Europa League matches (and 5 goals) That's 40 (assists or goals) in 40 matches. Edit: Misimovic provided 20 assists in 33 Bundesliga matches ... almost there, Kevin

He was looking into a transfer to Juve ... now he's claiming that they can't afford Lukaku.

Reportedly Drogba will move to Anderlecht :confused: http://www.voetbalnieuws.be/news/175729/Drogba_op_weg_naar_Jupiler_Pro_League

OK then ... Courtois to win the Ballon d'Or ... 0 goals, 0 assists

This article is a decent read ... stats, like perception, aren't everything either ... still it was a nice surprise that Lukaku comes off well.

24 assists (after the Inter - VfL tie): - 16 in 25 Bundesliga matches (and 9 goals) - 2 in 3 DFB-Pokal matches - 5 in 10 Europa League matches (and 5 goals) ... and 1 in 3 EURO2016 Qs (and 2 goals)

I could keep adding more and more names ... Lukaku wouldn't be the only player on that list that's starved of service ... Everton’s form as a whole has given him a great disservice.

Bad control per game: Lukaku: 1.8 Aguero: 1.9 Kane: 1.9 Austin: 2.0 Sanchez: 2.2 Sterling: 2.2 Berahino: 2.3 Costa: 2.3 Perception is everything?

Bad control per game: Lukaku: 1.8 Sterling: 2.2 Costa: 2.3 Perception is everything?

Including Wolfsburg v Inter, it's 21 assists so far this season (and 13 goals): - 15 in 24 Bundesliga matches (and 8 goals) - 2 in 3 DFB-Pokal matches - 4 in 9 Europa League matches (and 5 goals) Did I miss any goals?

That's 20 assists so far this season: - 15 in 23 Bundesliga matches (and 8 goals) - 2 in 3 DFB-Pokal matches - 3 in 8 Europa League matches (and 3 goals)

"Souleymane S., racism victim, says Chelsea and PSG both have their responsability in what happened so he's going to sue them. He claims he had a conversation with the Chelsea fans that goes a bit like this : Chelsea fans pushing him S. :"Why do you push me?" Chelsea fans : "Listen you can't be here because you are black." S. : "I don't care if I'm black or not, I just want to go home." Chelsea fans pushing him again It's weird because he claimed in his first interviews that he doesn't speak a word of English. The reactions to this video are really bad for him, people say he's either being manipulated or just trying to take advantage of the situation. This of course doesn't take anything away of the pathetic attitude of the Chelsea fans. It just seems like the victim is discrediting himself with this interview and the clubs will probably easily deny his claim, the events being outside of their responsability." - Souleymane S., victim of racist Chelsea fans, is going to sue Chelsea FC AND PSG PS he should get in touch with Natasha Sivanandan

Yesterday it was announced that Indy Boonen (turned 16 last month) will move to Manchester United ... today Aston Villa are trying to convince 16yo striker Din Sula to sign ... Standard's academy could be facing an exodus this year ... according to the director of the academy the class of 1999 is an exceptionally talented one but they've already had to watch a couple of players leave the squad while others could soon follow, e.g. Adrien Bongiovanni (Tottenham, Roma, etc.) Zinho Vanheusden (Inter), Thibaud Verlinden (Liverpool), etc. ... there are plenty of upcoming Belgian prospects, yet the future of youth development in Belgium seems bleak.

Probably he'll sign a contract extension in a few months.

Yep that's correct and James had a passing percentage below 80%.
