RoddieJ Posted September 10, 2020 Posted September 10, 2020 1.. Italian players don't particularly like leaving Italy.. be it the culture, lifestyle, weather or just the passion for the sport in Italy that's keeps them home. 2. I also think it's is better for the National team development to stay home. In England you have so many foreigners that the young English players don't get to develop the same way they do in Italy/Spain/Germany. Any case I am happy they stay in Italy... would hate to see a young player like Tonali (20) not getting the time and space to develop. The football culture in England is also quite toxic at times and the fans and media seem to have no patience with young talent. As least at Milan he is part of their project..it's a very young team and it was the perfect move for him and where he is in his career. And that is good for him, Milan and National team. And it doesn't matter what some fans think..Players will always have a big desire to achieve with the National team.Absolutely agree with everything you mention - it was just an observation :thumbs: I suppose the EPL is suffering the side effects of its own success, in that the TV Networks are throwing so much money at the League and Clubs, that they have to find ways of spending it, to attract more money, to spend more, and so on...

Andrew Steer Posted September 14, 2020 Posted September 14, 2020 Interesting first week in the Prem...Leeds showed they will add a lot, glad to see that. Bielsa/Poch style very apparent and good to see!Other two promoted teams looked pretty poor if I'm honest - long seasons ahead.Nice to see Newcastle looking half decent too... Bruce doing solid work there and some good recruiting.Mourinho still stinking out the place at Spurs...How you can take a team with Harry Kane and Son and make them look so impotent is beyond me.If there were crowds in the stadiums, he probably would have been fired already.He's usually good in his second seasons with clubs, but the whining was already on full throttle yesterday... It's obviously early days, but less than ideal start.We were terrible with the ball, and Everton, although much improved, made us look very very poor.The players don't seem to know what the plan is and all look gatvol alreadyGet Poch Back

I also read Mourinho whined a lot .. he does what he does.[emoji2368]
Gen Posted September 16, 2020 Posted September 16, 2020 (edited) I always wondered how the Uefa Pro license worked. And seeing that I am always interested in the tactical part of football and it give me some idea of what we can expect. Pirlo's thesis.. BTW he passed. https://juvecanal.com/articles/my-football-by-andrea-pirlo/ Edited September 16, 2020 by Gen
Andrew Steer Posted September 17, 2020 Posted September 17, 2020 Bale to Spurs... flip I would love that. If it happens, I know we aren't paying over the odds because of who our chairman is, and it would be the massive pick me up our whole squad needs. Too many players cruising at the moment... and Bale still has quite a few good years ahead in my books. All this rest on the Real bench might have done him the world of good Front three of Kane, Son and Bale isn't half bad... and hopefully a re-invigorated Dele playing in just behind them. Also looks like we might nick the Sevilla (Real) left back who would give us much better balance down either flank...Then I want to see Mourinho complaining RoddieJ 1

Then I want to see Mourinho complaining The loan deal is almost done and dusted...think RM and Spurs are just ironing out details regarding his wages for the year. Gareth Bale to Tottenham, here we go! Last details to be sorted about salary [shared with Real Madrid] and Gareth will fly tomorrow to London. He’ll complete medicals and join #THFC - one year loan. Mourinho approved the deal. Reguilon expected for tomorrow too [100% done].

Andrew Steer Posted September 17, 2020 Posted September 17, 2020 A very very good buy.Yip... top top drawer, and a bit different to their current midfield options - will make them quite a lot stronger in my books Gen 1
Gen Posted September 17, 2020 Posted September 17, 2020 (edited) Okay so a bit of dealings in Italy ATM It seems Milik will accept the Roma offer which means Dzeko should move to Juve Suarez... eventhough he passed his Italian Language exam today the passport won't be issued before we have to Submit our CL team and I also think his wages will be a huge issue in any case, in La Liga he qualified as a European player under his wife's passport but it doesn't work like that in Italy.. however him getting his Italian passport will uncomplicate any move in Europe (outside La Liga) .
