Crazy

Transfer fees are a bit on the hectic side of sanity in recent years...

Who would have thought a 19yo would command a fee of e126m, but then again, didn’t Mbappe cost PSG approx. e180m just 2 years ago...??

And meanwhile in the EPL you have a defender with a single season’s experience fetching BP50m... Wow! Who says BP75m for VvD to ‘Pool last year was a ridiculous fee? It seems pretty average already.

Can’t wait for all this to be over and let the games begin...

Yep and the ridiculous amount that is being thrown around for Maguire... Maguire beyond stupid.

Interesting move.

 

But "Head Coach" isn't necessarily "Manager", is it?

 

He will probably still answer to someone else who in turn reports to Abramovich

PL have started adopting the sane terminology what the rest of europe do..you have a coach and then you have sporting directors who handle transfers etc.. coach should coach and shouldn't be concerned about behind the scene stuff. Edited July 4, 2019 by Gen

Well, that’s his boss sitting next to him in the pic... Marina Granovskaia or something like that. She’s been calling the shots on behalf of The Russian.

Derby had the 6th most expensive squad in the Championship last season and Lampard took them from the 6th position the previous season to another 6th place finish.

 

Geez the mighty have fallen since the naughties - I pity the poor Chelsea supporters

Buffon:

 

"I would like to thank Tek and Giorgio who offered me the number one and the band(captain's armband) , but I'm not here to take anything away from someone, I'm here to give my contribution like I've always done for the team. Juve's goalkeeper must have one (Tek) and Chiello who is my brother, must be captain. I think I take the 77 that is in my history and in the history of Parma. "

Can the Dutch upset the storming USA

I didn’t give Bafana Bafana a snowball’s chance against Egypt. So I too, will be snacking on humble pie, with great pleasure I must say :praise:
