pussyklaat groups (meaning only one or zero (in bold) really class teams) GROUP C : Sporting CP (Portugal), Borussia Dortmund (Germany), Ajax (Netherlands), Besiktas (Turkey) and Dortmund, even with Håland, are hardly a great side GROUP F: Villarreal (Spain), Manchester United (England), Atalanta (Italy), Young Boys (Switzerland). << Mnaure are, as is almost always the case lucky fuckers GROUP G: Lille (France), Sevilla (Spain), FC Salzburg (Austria), Wolfsburg (Germany). <<< probably the weakest CL group I have ever seen, or damn close maybe Juve will have no CR7 when they face us at least GROUP H: Chelsea (England), Juventus (Italy), Zenit St. Petersburg (Russia), Malmö (Sweden). lol, back again to Sweden, whish it was in Stockholm

Midfielder spotted in London, has offer from Chelsea – Club ‘convinced’ player could join Blues http://sportwitness.co.uk/midfielder-spotted-london-offer-Chelsea-club-convinced-player-join-blues/ Chelsea are frequently named as a main contender to sign Ilaix Moriba. The midfielder turned down the Blues and other clubs in favour of signing a contract with Barcelona in 2019 and that decision paid off after Ronald Koeman gave him opportunities last season. With a contract expiring in 2022, the La Liga side have failed to find an agreement over a new deal. This has alerted the likes of the west London club and RB Leipzig, while he’s made to train with the reserves. On August 25th, Mundo Deportivo explained the 18-year-old was spotted in London at the weekend. Thursday’s edition of AS explains offers from the top European clubs are raining down for the Guinean, but they only name Thomas Tuchel’s side and Leipzig. They add Moriba is currently out of the dynamics of Barca’s first team. Real Madrid were credited with an interest, but a ‘confidential’ report from Sport says Los Blancos will not make an approach for the player due to the ‘non-aggression pact’ agreed between Joan Laporta and Florentino Pérez in recent months. The two Spanish giants, along with Juventus, have agreed not to make an approach for each other’s players, unless it’s a ‘beneficial operation’ for the clubs involved in the deal. Therefore, at the Camp Nou, they have ruled out Moriba joining Real Madrid. Sport add Barcelona are ‘convinced’ if Moriba doesn’t sign an extension, which seems impossible as of now, he will start an adventure abroad, either at Chelsea or Leipzig.

I never once had a go at that poster, nor they at me, so curious why they said that

Chelsea unveil Nike’s latest eyesore with the 2021-22 third kit https://weaintgotnohistory.sbnation.com/2021/8/26/22642496/Chelsea-unveil-nikes-latest-eyesore-with-the-2021-22-third-kit An over-designed home shirt with it’s clashing mish-mash of “kaleidoscopic” patterns, and a rather randomly black-hooped but otherwise comfortably yellow away shirt, have now been joined by a programming error of a third shirt, as unveiled officially by the club this morning. Nike supposedly “worked with individual Chelsea fans involved in the fashion industry to inform the kit design” but there’s probably a good reason said individuals have remained anonymous. The shirt is inspired by yet another Nike product line (ACG) and is also supposed to be “reflective of a modern era for the club, characterised by youthful energy and everything that represents” — which is a whole lot of words to say a whole lot of nothing. It’s a shirt possibly inspired by streetwear, but it might have turned out better if it were inspired by sportswear instead. In any case, should you choose to adorn yourself with this teal and black and reddish orange “crimson” monstrosity, you can spend way too much money on them in all the usual places.

Tiraspol is the capital of Transnistria (de facto), a breakaway state from Moldova (de jure), where it is the second largest city. Transnistria, officially the Pridnestrovian Moldavian Republic (PMR) is a breakaway state in the narrow strip of land between the river Dniester and the Ukrainian border that is internationally recognized as part of Moldova. Its capital and largest city is Tiraspol. Transnistria has been recognised by only three other mostly unrecognised breakaway states: Abkhazia, Artsakh, and South Ossetia. Meet the People of a Soviet Country That Doesn't Exist Transnistria is the country no one's ever heard of ... except for the 500,000 people that call it home. https://www.wired.com/2016/03/meet-people-transnistria-stuck-time-soviet-country-doesnt-exist/ TRANSNISTRIA IS A thin strip of land wedged between Moldova and Ukraine. It is home to more than 500,000 people and has a parliamentary government, a standing army, and its own currency. It has all the trappings of an independent nation---but isn't. Oh sure, it declared independence from Moldova in 1990 and fought a war two years later. And it's got a constitution and a flag and even a coat of arms. But you won't find it on many maps, and not a single member of the United Nations recognizes its existence. But the people of Transnistria do not care. They cling tenaciously to a claim of statehood and their love for all things Russian. “It’s quite tragic, really,” says Justin Barton, a British photographer who visited the countr.... er, autonomous territorial unit last year for his series The Transnistrian Patriot. “There are a lot of people who are very patriotic, but there are also a lot of other people just caught in the situation. And they’re amazingly isolated," he says. It all started in 1990, when Moldova broke away from the Soviet Union. Transnistria was home to many Russians and Russian speakers who felt political and cultural isolation in the new republic. They declared independence, hoping to establish a socialist republic and remain part of the Soviet Union. A war ensued, which ended in a ceasefire nearly two years later. The Soviet Union had crumbled by then, and the conflict never fully resolved even though Moldova granted Transnistria a measure of autonomy. To all outward appearances, Transnistria is a sovereign state, albeit one that skews Soviet. Its flag includes the hammer and sickle and often flies alongside Russian flags. The Transnistrian ruble bears the images of Russian figures like the Gen. Alexander Suvorov and Catherine the Great. An enormous statue of Lenin guards the entrance to the Supreme Soviet, its parliament building. Pictures of Stalin and Putin are almost as ubiquitous as those of Transnistrian president Yevgeny Shevchuk. In return, Russia provides free gas and supplements residents' pensions. It also provides more than 1,000 troops, to the consternation of those in Ukraine. Still, Russia has not formally recognized the breakaway state, and does not appear inclined to. Nor does Moldova. This does not bode well. “Despite Transnistria declaring its own independence, it will not achieve it, unless Moldova decides to recognize it—an unlikely scenario,” says Thomas de Waal, a British journalist and an expert on Eastern Europe. "The most likely future is either more of the same—an unrecognized status and shadowy semi-statehood, or a confederation agreement with Moldova.” Barton became interested in Transnistria in 2014 while working in Ukraine. He heard that Transnistria was producing new plastic currency with colorful coins in different shapes. His interest piqued, Barton read all he could about the topic and decided to visit Transnistria and photograph its residents. It required a month of pleading with the Transnistrian KGB, which runs security, before Barton was cleared to photograph top officials. It helped that his wife is Russian and he had an especially well-connected fixer. He spent a little more than two weeks there over the course of two trips. Many of the people Barton photographed were intensely patriotic, though he couldn't always parse their political views. In Tiraspol, he found Natalia Yefremova and her small trinket shop. It sells busts of Stalin and busts of Putin, and it wasn't clear whether she favored communist or capitalist Russia. Barton also photographed Igor Nebeygolova, a colonel in the KGB and commander of the Cossack regiment in Tiraspol. A huge flag from Russia's imperial era adorned the wall of his office, along with Soviet and Transnistrian flags. "His loyalties seemed deeply split," Barton says. "Everything he had was a symbol of one thing or another." Barton photographed some 20 people in all. He used a Nikon D810 and favored wider shots that emphasize the environment as much as the person. "You can find out a great deal about a place and, in particular, a mental space [that way]," he says. It's impossible to escape the sense of melancholy that pervades the series. It isn't easy being stateless, and not everyone is optimistic about Transnistria's future. Anastasia Spatar, who is 23 and has never traveled beyond Transnistria, showed great sadness when Barton asked her to think about her homeland. "[She said] she might burst into tears," he says. Barton found the experience as surreal as the country that isn't. He recalls a conversation he had with a local of Transnistria he met while exploring Tiraspol. "Welcome to nowhere," he told Barton.

needs to be an OBLIGATION to buy ffs, even if only 16, 17m euros or so he just turned 27yo 8 days ago, so is not at an age he is worthless at all, and he had a lot of good games for AC Milan, Napoli, and Monaco (on his return) he just is not up to the pace of EPL, but Serie A is his speed

I have watched the hell out of for over year, he is the real deal a cruncher with great technical skills, relentless motor, strong as a bull, pacey, with an eye for the killer pass that splits lines and creates overloads

not even a championship side m8 it was basically the Baggies U23's total market value (T-Markt) of the their starting XI was less than £7.5m (£2.5m of that was Reach, so subtract him the average MV was sub 500K quid) and if you remove Snodgrass, the median age was 19.5 yo their entire back 4's MV was around 1m quid (GK plus the 3 CBs)
