Apparently Rennes president was fired over not informing ownership he had talks with RM over Camavinga last summer. I don’t really get how as president of a selling club you don’t inform your owner about Real Madrid negotiating with you over what’ll be your record transfer. If you apply that analogy to non-sports life it puts into perspective how bad of a look that is for him.

Either way the more links we have to being serious about Camavinga the happier I am. Flo trying to play FIFA career mode with the prospects.

How are you guys even gonna slot Camavinga in when Odegaard is coming back and y'all just scooped up Reinier? Y'all leave a creative mid for us? :lol

I heard that Sociedad plans on keeping him for the full duration of the loan agreement.

That makes sense, dude has been supplying Isak with pure finesse this season. I know people rate Camavinga as a DM but I truly believe he's better in the attack

He's quite versatile. He will get playing time as long as Zidane is there.

Ultimately Odegaard is the only one who decides. I think if Modric is out to Miami, Real will be insistent he comes back though. As far as Camavinga goes, if we do get him I wouldn’t be surprised if Real loans him for a year or two since he’s still extremely young and Casemiro is very durable. Then again as Tom alluded to, Zidane has found playing time for other teenagers.

I’m just hoping we get him, Real seem to be the most aggressive in trying to. I’m expecting tough competition from PSG though. But it should be a good selling point for Real that unlike the Chelsea of past who was trying to monopolize young talent, both Real’s academy grads and purchased talent have been succeeding at home and on loans abroad. It’s also a really exciting and promising project to be a part of.

I hope you guys are right and he can become best as a box to box. Because the thought of him, Casemiro, and Valverde behind Odegaard would be a nightmare :lol:

need Inter to show up tomorrow with Juventus dropping points today

I need them to win the league this season then idc what happens next year

I know it won’t happen but it’d be cool if Ronnie F’s around and gets himself a BL before he hangs them up and becomes a champion in all top 4 leagues. Might as well then collect a free Ligue 1 with PSG too at that point :lol:

I wouldn’t be surprised if the latter happens at some point. Can’t ever imagine Ron playing/living in Germany though.

I really hope Lukaku gets a trophy, good to see him flourishing under Conte. Maybe that'll help get the idea out of his head that he'll retire from our national team after the Euros. Genuinely baffled that he has yet to walk back his stated desire to do so. As far as I'm concerned he has already cemented himself as an all-time great for our country but at his age he can still perform for us for years to come.

Bayern vs Leipzig is gonna be

tomorrow morning. If we win, the league title is a wrap imo. If we draw/lose I don't think we'll be champions this year. Huge match with big implications for the long term future of the club. Probably influences who our future manager will be also (stick with Flick or go hard after Ten Hag). Can't wait to see what happens

Belgium · Feb 8, 2020

There’d be a meltdown in Germany if Leipzig ends up winning the title race :lol:

If there’s one thing that unites the supporters of all the other clubs, it’s hatred for RB Leipzig.

My girl is traveling in Portugal with her friend at the moment, and she texted me this morning saying "I like Porto more than Lisboa" :smh:

told her as long as she doesn't root for the team, I can live with that statement :lol:

. Objectively Porto is a lot more scenic than Lisboa, a city where half the sights are ruins, so it makes sense...but it's still hard as hell to admit in person :lol
