Don't see there being any problem with Pep's treatment of Hart it happens all the time especially when a new manager takes the helm. Cudicini was an outstanding keeper yet was dropped for Cech. Hart hardly covered himself in glory at the Euro's did he ? besides I can't stand him he's an aloof, arrogant preening bellend

I was pretty disgusted at how City treated Joe but can't expect much from them they are one of the worst clubs who  constantly have to have a player and take them away from a good environment where maybe they are the star striker and then very quickly don't want them anymore and abandon them. It is sad for Joe as he is a decent guy and I thought he never quiet fit with the egomaniacs at City. I hope he does well at Torino. 

I think Utd did some very good business getting Zlatan for free, wish he had come here

Wonder what excuses José will come up with if they still lose to City

Chelsea > Seattle Seahawks
Taken over by a wealthy owner whose purchase brought with it an unheralded period of success. Loved by you, hated even more by everyone else you're in the mix for the title every year.

Roman Abramovich and Paul Allen have brought about supreme success since taking over

 

 

Manchester United > New England Patriots
You like winning. You like having the best manager. You like getting favourable decisions from match officials. You like that every TV pundit likes you. And you really like that everyone else doesn't like you.

The bulldozer's have moved in at West Ham's old ground and that's the exact pronunciation of a West Ham fan saying Wanked off.

Bulldozers moved in and caused thousands of pounds worth of improvements.

Premier League Set to Introduce Strict New Rules to Clamp Down on Clubs Tapping Up Youth Players

https://uk.sports.yahoo.com/news/premier-league-set-introduce-strict-134810409.html

 

The Premier League are planning on introducing tougher transfer regulations to Premier League clubs hoping to sign youth players aged between nine and sixteen, the Mirror reports.

The new rules stems around elite Premier League clubs illegally signing or tapping-up young players, which reportedly involves parents being incentivised with houses, money and cars.

 

The new regulations will demand families hand over their bank details and phone records in order to ascertain whether they have taken incentives from Premier League clubs hoping to sign a youth player.

 

Those families will have to sign contracts agreeing to hand over their details but reports suggest there are fears that some Premier League clubs will start paying youth players by cash in order to get around the new regulation.

 

The move, which will investigate every transfer involving a player aged between nine and sixteen and a category-one club, is designed to stop elite clubs poaching young stars, with the implementation of the new rules based on several complaints from other clubs.

 

It is understood category-one clubs, who undergo rigorous checks to achieve that status, have an unwritten rule between themselves, according to the Mirror, that they will not take their best players. But smaller Premier League clubs have complained that their best players have been poached by those elite clubs.

 

The youth players who are having their transfers probed are also stopped from going to school while the investigation into their transfer is carried out.
