As @Blue_Fox_ said, it's great to have him here a few days early so he can start working on building and molding his squad..

I think you mean 'wonderful'

Jokes on you. I'm not really fasting and I just had something that is 8765439913 times better than pizza

Fucks sake...WHO makes those decisions? Based on what?!

Shoarma? In Ramadan while I'm fasting?! You bastard!

That'll do!

Looks done with the medical happening right now. Know little of the guy, but if what I'm reading that he is a striker who can hold up play is true, then I'm all for it. PS: If this thread calls him the 'New Drogba' one more time he will most certainly flop, just like the new Kaka, the new Lampard and our answer to Messi... PS2: Someone come up with a nickname for him because I can't pronounce his last name.

Oh it was definitely a bit of both, mate, at least in my opinion. He was unlucky in the CL draw on one hand (not to mention THAT disgraceful match that should not have been against Galatasaray), but on the other he also failed to win the Coppa Italia in any of his 3 seasons at Juve despite being massive favorites for it in his last 2 seasons there. Yes, Juve had a sort of mental block for winning that 10th Coppa Italia since the late nineties, but Conte as well frustratingly refused to adapt his team according to the strengths of Napoli and Lazio. Imo, the matches against Belgium and Spain show a level of reading and understanding of opposition teams better than he ever showed at Juve which would suggest that he has evolved in that respect..

He was called a bad cup manager in Italy. Definitely proving people wrong in this tournament.

I don't think the question should be at all whether we should let him go. Simply, if he wants to stay prove that last season was a fluke he should of course be given the opportunity to but also if he wants to leave he should absolutely be allowed to as well.

Performance of the tournament so far?

I was enjoying his goal but then I quickly remembered that that would probably add about 10m to his price...

No thanks. He looks awful without a shirt...

If I see Cahill in a 3-man defense, I'm going to cry. And Azpi as a left wingback? He's already too defensive for a LB! If Conte goes with this (which he won't) it would be best if we just sack him after the first match of the season...

This has genuinely made my day. I absolutely adore Carlo. Really hope the rumors are true

Careful, you can't post the full fixture list. The EPL has the copy rights for it and could sue the site.

The scoreline could have been A LOT more embarrassing if it weren't for Thibaut in goal.

@SeBapproves this message!

Then maybe bring the section to the top of the homepage, no one can see it buried in the 'Community'. Do I have to keep pointing out the obvious even after I left the staff? EDIT: If that does not work you can always start a 'Euro 16 Babes' thread. That always does the trick...

That was quick! Well done Jayjay

@Jason @Spike @Special Juan @Jim Will there not be a section for the Euro 16 like usually is the case? The forum has been a bit dead lately and a section like we used to have for Euros and WCs could liven up the place.

Agreed, and it always gets on my nerves when some say that he was a 'flop' here. What Crespo where you watching?!

I guess we should welcome him to the 'familia' then

Yeah, basically this. The burden is on Matic to stay here and fight and clear his image after the horror season he had. But if he wants to run away, we should NOT even consider selling to a rival.
