We call this thing "black fast" in Romania - no food and water until the sun comes down. Young people don't do it, but old people do it during important events. I know it's a hard thing to do and that's why I'm asking the Egyptian guys - do you know for sure he is fasting? I mean, how can anyone train twice a day and not eat or drink water? Or play a football match at 19:30 local time in Austria w/o eating and drinking water all day?

Eder Alvarez Balanta to Inter Milano for €4m plus bonuses. Wow. Just wow. That's the definition of bargain.

Daily Mail had a bollocks article yesterday about the best young players in England. Guess what? Boga wasn't even mentioned lol Eisfeld, Toral, Sam McQueen where among those 20 tho....

Is Salah looking for a loan? He's been a mess this pre-season

And they put a €45m release clause in his contract too hahah

One against Burnley and a brace against Leicester. He will take the league by storm.

Worse than Tevez's

Hold your horses guys, everybody was quoting Sport.es on this story. There is no difference between Sport and Tribalfootball or Goal. Miserable journalists, a bunch of Barcelona ass lickers with sources like Tancredi Palmeri and some other bollocks websites like indiakiylla. Klopp denied the rumour today and even said something like - "Reus and Hummels will stay for another season, you know it's garbage (the news) when the rumoured price is €20m".

Is that Iniesta in disguise?!

Daniella Semaan made sure he gets no pussy while on the European tour haha

:heart:

Funny how every Liverpool target/signing is now labeled as world-class by the scousers. Lambert is a top, top striker, Lallana a world-class attacking midfielder, Markovic the new €100m man and Emre Can, the Bayern reject, one of the best holding midfielders in the world. Now that they are closing in on Remy and Lovren, those players are some of the best in their position.... I wonder how would they react if they would sign Diego Costa and Fabregas? Is there anything above world-class? Godlike players?

Yep, I'm a bit disappointed, too. Would have been a great squad player. I'm reading an article from Cadena Ser where they say that this transfer can't go through because of Chelsea, not because of Tiago's contract or something else. This "licensing issue" is Chelsea's problem it seems. Sin embargo, un problema de licencias del club londinense le impedirá (a Tiago) jugar en Stamford Bridge y su agente, Jorge Mendes le ha ofrecido al presidente del Valencia, Amadeo Salvo la posiblidad de firmar a Tiago con la carta de libertad.

Glad they discovered that heart tumour in time. Such a top talent he is.

Come on Jose accept that reduced figure for Christ's sake!!!

I'm listening to Al primer toque on Onda Cero and they just said that Tiago can't sign with Chelsea and Jorge Mendes offered him to Valencia. They said why Chelsea can't sign him, but I didn't understand what they were saying. Something about his contract, I don't know. Waiting for someone to pick up on this story and see what's all about.

I think it's Mauro Silva

I would take Isco over Oscar and Pirlo as a squad player at any time.

They are quoting Daily Rubbish... Según el ‘Daily Star’, Mourinho pretende al defensa del club rojiblanco. El Atlético no quiere negociar y se remite a su cláusula de rescisión de 30 ‘kilos’. El Chelsea sigue amenazando al Atlético. El Daily Star informó ayer que el club londinense está dispuesto a pujar por Miranda y habría ofrecido a la entidad del Manzanares 20 millones de libras (unos 25 millones de euros) por el defensa brasileño del conjunto rojiblanco.

Paul Breitner's word vs Mourinho's word haha. What if Dennis Rodman would tell you that the French basketball league is the best in the world? Would you quote him? Or Pete Rose would tell you that the Italian baseball league is the best in the world? Would you quote him, too?! Did you even read the whole article? Or did you stop after the title? Mourinho is talking about the competitiveness part of this league, a thing we've already discussed during the Champions leg against Paris. All you do is compare English teams' performance in Europe. EPL is the best league in the world because here you have at least four teams fighting for the title at the start of the season (Chelsea, City, United, Arsenal). Plus three other top teams in Liverpool, Tottenham and Everton. Arsenal, Liverpool, Tottenham not winning a title in ages does not make the EPL a two-horse race. La Liga = Madrid, Barcelona and Atletico in the last two or three years. Until then, it was a two-horse race. In France it was Lyon, now it's Paris. In Germany it was always Bayern de Munich and Borussia. Italy used to be a decent league, but now Juventus is winning titles for fun. As I said, Jose was talking about the competitiveness part of the league: 1) Almeria, Elche, Rayo, Granada will loose 99/100 matches against Madrid and Barcelona 2) Nice, Guingamp, Evian, Reims will always loose against Paris and Monaco. 3) Freiburg, Frankfurt, Hannover will loose 99/100 matches against Bayern de Munich and Borussia. 4) Italy? Is there any decent team to fight against Juventus? Sassuolo, Chievo, Cagliari would even get trashed by Everton and Newcastle. Now how about England? Teams like WBA, Villa, West Ham will always put up a fight against the big boys. None of this teams will loose 99/100 matches against Chelsea, City and United. That's why EPL is the best in the world and that's what Jose was talking about - it's not only about teams fighting for the title, it's about the other teams, too. You can go to Rayo and say Madrid will trash them, but you can't go to The Hawthorns and say Chelsea and City will be having a walk in the park. 2014/15 EPL - you have Chelsea, City, Arsenal with strong squads, Rodgers building a good team at Liverpool, United with Louis, Tottenham with a new coach, Everton with a decent squad. 2014/15 La Liga - Madrid and Barcelona with Football Manager squads and a weakened Atletico. 2014/15 Bundesliga - Bayern de Munich and Borussia. 2014/15 Serie A - Juventus and Roma (plus the chokers from Napoli). 2014/15 Ligue 1 - Paris. And Monaco? Will they put up a fight w/o James and Falcao? Now tell me, what's the best league in the world? The two-horse race leagues in Spain, Germany, Italy and France, or the EPL?!

They'll go straight to Austria and meet up with the rest of the team there.

What a rubbish article Benatia is available for £5m more. And three years younger. Reading Mirror, Daily Star etc. articles about Chelsea is as frustrating as reading Romanian newspapers making up stories about Chelsea wanting Tottenham's Chiriches, Steaua's left back and some other Romanian mugs. And that happens on a weekly basis.

Only to mentor Lukaku. And as a coach. Nothing more.

Madrid have not received any offer for him. Arsenal are not interested anymore because of his wages. Madrid will try to include him in the James deal. I know it's a news from yesterday, but the club have removed the No. 6 (Khedira) from their official shop in Madrid.
