Vesper

Finally I have company!!!!!!!!!

Pedro is ambipedal

Down go France Netherlands 2 France nil de Ligt is a fucking terror at CB, we are insane if we dont try to at least bid on him, it is just unreal that a couple months ago he was still 18! he shut down Mbappe like a boss, as did the Dutch young RB, Dumfries Frenkie De Jong was immense at MF, along with de Roon,totally outplayed Kante, N'Zonzi, and Matuidi Kante was played at role similar to what Sarri is trying to do with him, and it just isnt working, not for club, not for country, he looks lost, and his challenges are tentative, plus he fouls a lot (got a yellow and realllly lucky to not see another) if not for Lloris it could have been 4, 5 nil Giroud looked terrible so did Pavard (worst I seen him play, Memphis constantly shredded him) and so did Varane, who seems to have went into a post WC slump for multiple months now, so he gets 'best CB in world" PULLED in my book, Umtiti is injured, so I gotta raise up Koulibaly to top CB in world atm followed by de Ligt, who outplays van Dijk (who was a beast as well) every time I see them after Lloris, best France player by far was a sub (and another MF I LOVE) Tanguy Ndombele, who looked explosive first loss for France in 18 months

right footed RWers Kylian Mbappé Raheem Sterling Federico Chiesa (was LW, but lately on right) Jesse Lingard Hirving Lozano Lucas Moura Ángel Correa Gelson Martins Iñaki Williams Wilfried Zaha Juan Cuadrado Lucas Vázquez Marcel Sabitzer José Callejón Antonio Candreva Willian (due to Hazard)

their only true AMF, James, is out till December, and goes back to Real Madrid in the summer (end of his 2 year loan) Overall their MF is decimated atm due to injures Thiago is also out for months, and Corentin Tolisso is likely out for the year or at least until spring

Bayern Munich confident they have won the race for Aaron Ramsey https://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/transfers/arsenal-transfer-news-aaron-ramsey-contract-free-bayern-munich-liverpool-chelsea-fc-a8634646.html Bayern Munich are confident they have won the race to sign Aaron Ramsey. The Arsenal midfielder is available on a lucrative free transfer this summer when his Arsenal contract expires. There has been plenty of interest in him from within the Premier League, especially from Liverpool and Chelsea, as well as from abroad. But German champions Bayern Munich believe that they have won the race to sign the Wales international. There has been a recent breakthrough in talks and now Ramsey is expected to sign a long-term contract at the Allianz Arena from the start of next season.

It wasn't the final Germany beat Argentina in the final 1 nil on Mario Götze's goal set up by our very own André Schürrle. Brasil went on to get crushed in the 3rd place game 3 nil by the Netherlands. It wasnt all on Luiz, never claimed that, but he was a huge FAIL.

Multiple points Learn the English idiom A false dawn is GOOD thing that you think is going to happen, and then doesn't. Lets deal with net worth I was called a fucking liar (literally) over something that was no big deal, and I instantly showed I was right. I was NOT the one who started that at all. Number 3, you can try and downplay things, but the following are true 1. There is a shitstorm in the world between the US/UK and NATO power blocs and Russia 2. Roman has been blocked from renewing his Visa here in the UK over this and is now blocked from doing any work in the UK whilst here on his newly minted Israeli passport 3. He has pulled the plug on the new stadium 4 He IS (and I am who calls bullshit on so much of the RUSSSSSSSSSSIAA!!! hysteria) incredibly linked to Putin, they are ultra connected and great friends. This makes him a huge target, rightly or wrongly. 5. You can call investigations whatever you want question their legitimacy (as do I) call them necessary(as do almost all of the newly empowered Democrats in the US House and Senate (they have a large majority in the House now and will go after Trump, Putin et all with a vengeance, as will the UK government due to Skripal shit, etc) BUT they are moving forward and people are going down, many Russians (oligarchs included) have or soon will. Another one's son (and soon him) just got nailed yesterday in Tel Aviv. Lev Leviev, who is really good friends with both Roman and Putin. https://www.haaretz.com/israel-news/business/.premium-leviev-s-relatives-among-those-arrested-in-diamond-smuggling-case-1.6630956 Roman and Leviev togther at Stamford Bridge: US 'Kremlin report' targets Russian billionaire art collectors Roman Abramovich, Alisher Usmanov and culture minister Vladimir Medinsky among those now on warning from US https://www.theartnewspaper.com/news/kremlin-report Fairly or not, Roman is in the cross-hairs of all this rot and has already suffered concrete setbacks. more here: I dont care if you want to ignore all these things, that is your right, but don't toss shade on me for bringing them up, I am not making up anything out of whole cloth.

You should check him out sometime in some Hertha games. The Bundesliga is a blast to watch if you like action packed footie. He and Junior Firpo (LB) are my two favourite young fullbacks who are remotely available. Achraf Hakimi (RB, mentioned above) is a beast too, but zero chance Real Madrid sell him unless they truly are going to go with 22yo Álvaro Odriozola as their future, which they might. They just paid almost 30m quid for Odriozola this summer) Stanley N'Soki (LB, PSG), Marcelo Saracchi (LB, RB Leipzig) Borna Sosa (LB, Stuttgart) Hamza Mendyl (LB, Schalke) Nordi Mukiele (RB, RB Leipzig) Pol Lirola (RB, Sassuolo) Benjamin Henrichs (RB, Monaco) Pablo Maffeo (RB Stuttgart) Aaron Wan-Bissaka (RB, Palace) are all 21yo and under fullbacks worth watching here are 2 links to find Hertha (and other) games at live https://www.vipleague.cc/football-schedule-streaming-links taped https://www.fullmatchesandshows.com/

You obviously dont follow much news or study geo-political developments. You are simply dead wrong on all what you say here. I have covered in in great detail elsewhere. The onus is not on me to continuously correct false narratives like you push (or the normacy bias and head-in-the-sand denialism) Abramovich IS in dire straights, he cant even get his visa renewed, is blocked from conducting any business in THE UK whilst here, and has been named as one of the top oligarchs that is under investigation. To deny that (and I have posted on all this multiple times) is deny cold hard reality. I understand if you dont follow geo-politics. I do though. To a far vaster degree than I follow CFC. As to the prospective owners wealth, I was RIGHT. So that shot goes in the bin. I will become even more pronounced as the price of petrol continues to plummet, thus reducing Roman's wealth further. As your your FIFA loan rule posturing, it is WELL more advanced that you make out. I have no idea how this slipped under the radar. The FIFA Council a week ago fully endorsed a reform package that includes a maximum of only SIX players allowed out on loan (originally back a month plus ago some articles said it was eight, so it is even worse.) From what I gather, it will be phased in over a 2 year period following final overall approval. Bye bye loan army. FIFA Council makes key decisions for the future of football development (FIFA.com) 26 Oct 2018 http://www.fifa.com/about-fifa/news/y=2018/m=10/news=fifa-council-makes-key-decisions-for-the-future-of-football-development.html snip Football governance The members of the FIFA Council endorsed the reform package of the transfer system recently agreed by the FIFA Football Stakeholders Committee. This document lays out the fundamental principles of what will eventually become a set of concrete regulations to be drafted by the Task Force Transfer System in consultation with representatives from clubs (ECA), leagues (the World Leagues Forum), players (FIFPro) as well as member associations, confederations and the FIFA administration. The task force will provide an update of its work at the next Football Stakeholders Committee meeting in February 2019. Snip Here is the original reporting a month and a half ago FIFA's new loan rules could be disastrous for Chelsea with plans to stop clubs sending out more than eight players… Blues currently have FORTY scattered around the world Fifa to introduce new loan rules to prevent clubs like Chelsea stockpiling young talent as agent reforms fall flat https://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/transfers/transfers-fifa-best-loans-chelsea-new-rules-agent-a8554976.html Fifa have suggested that clubs can only send six players on loan. Clearing up the transfer system has been high of Fifa president Gianni Infantino’s to-do list for some time and an end to clubs sending an unlimited number of players out on loan could be coming soon. Fifa have proposed that clubs can send a maximum of six players on loan to prevent sides stockpiling young talent. Snip The reform package will be delivered to the Fifa Council on 26 October during its next meeting and it is hoped that the new regulations are phased in over the next two years. “We have brought everyone to the table and all key actors of the industry have understood that we need to take action, leading today to this reform proposal,” said Infantino. Snip look before you take swipes next time

That Gary Cahill is ahead of him is madness .Literally. Cahill is a fucking spent force, who, if we have to rely on in a big game, is going to be roasted alive. He and AC together were a shambolic pairing. I cannot take much more of this 'old and shit slow but experienced' trumps youth with incredible talent rot.

Massively so. For some it is only about goals goals goals. They would probably trade Toni Kroos for Bas Dost cuz Kroos only scores 3 goals a year on average from Real over the last 5, 6 years, lolol

completely agree it is worrisome the CHO thing just boggles my mind 2 of our 3 other wingers (Eden and Pedro) have been on again off again injured and Willian has played so much he is getting worn down too yet on his arse, CHO sits I am so sorry, there is NOTHING magical about bottom half of table EPL teams Dortmund starts multiple teenagers (and wins) versus fucking BAYERN Sarri wont even play teens versus fucking BATE or the other League one level trash in our EL group

brilliant!

I'd rather Liverpool win the Premier League than Chelsea, admits Torres https://www.goal.com/en-us/news/id-rather-liverpool-win-the-premier-league-than-chelsea/ztj21v68mr12115butyhpzx4r

I guarantee almost every one of those Manc plonkers who are slating him now tried to troll us when Manure signed him. Most plastic fans in the world, outside of Barca/Real cling-ons (90% of their global fanbase knows fuckall about footie.)

By FAR the biggest game of the year so far! SMASH THOSE SPUD TWATS!!!!!!

That Arse cunt has balls of brass calling US cynical and desperate

10000% agree. Matthijs de Ligt <<< only one (other than Pavard and Upamecano) not on a huge team, it just comes down to if we will pay the insane money and IF he wants to come to us over Real, Barca, Man U, Bayern, PSG, Juve, etc Kalidou Koulibaly Milan Skriniar Marquinhos Benjamin Pavard (as I have said many times, he is perfect because he can play RB too and will give Azpi some legit competition) Dayot Upamecano I think he ends up at Barca, where he pairs up with Umtiti in a terrifyingly physical duo Alessio Romagnoli José Giménez Niklas Süle Thilo Kehrer Jonathan Tah Rúben Dias Malang Sarr Sarri loves Rugani, I am not 100% sold, and he certainly is not better than any listed above atm

I wouldn't say they were worse, but Azpi (pathetic going forward) Jorginho (one of his few bad games, probably his worst) Kante (regressed, one of his worst games in new position) Barkley (sub) little to no impact, shite passing (our biggest issue all game) Willian (probably worst, even more so than Morata) Pedro (sub) lots of running, little end product Hazard looks tired and beaten down physically, the thugball is taking a toll were all poor, some very poor (Willian, Azpi, Kante, Morata) Kepa, Luiz, Rudiger (MOTM), Alonso (unlucky to not score), Kovacic (our only MF with any sort of vertical thrust, especially in first half), and Cesc (sub) were oki

Just watched Julian Weigl in first half for Dortmund v Bayern. He got pulled at the start of the 2nd. He looked Bakayoko level bad. Just terrible. I would be shocked if Shitty make a move for him. Last 3 games I have seen him play he has been horrid. good article in German on his situation Julian Weigl und seine Situation unter BVB-Trainer Favre: Es flutscht nicht mehr https://www.goal.com/de/meldungen/julian-weigl-situation-bvb-trainer-favre-bundesliga/f1cqn4474mli1xt8jbtdo4m2d
