Rice didnt look 100 price tag on that final recently too

Man was trying his best to make himself affordable to Arsenal and the Hammers still ain't budge

[mastamind89]

Interesting…City had previously bid 90m, correct?

 

[Sinner]

Chelsea toy with Utd over Mount, then hijack Caicedo.

 

[Armada]

Figures. We’ve avoided bidding wars for a while now especially when it goes past whatever the valuation we had for the player was

I know my audience in here. I know there are guys currently watching MLS, Copa Libertadores, Brasileirao, Liga MX, etc.

I also know that no one in here is watching the Swedish league. Or any league in Scandinavia (unless they have a gambling problem).

That said, I revised the thread title just for you.

Was doing some googling, Italy's rigidity to new stadiums going up is really killing team's revenues, and unfortunately for the nostalgia people the San Siro probably has to go.

With the CVC deal in Spain (still not a good deal) but it has allowed just about every team to renovate or build something new

Betis is gonna build a new stadium
Atletico is building their sports city and a beach
The Basque teams already had nice buildings
Even regulation level teams Getafe, Celta are improving. Once the new Bernabeu & Camp Nou are fully functioning there's going to be major gap created there.

La liga people sup wit this guy

La liga people sup wit this guy

he's still rough around the edges but i like him a lot
he's kind of a winger/forward/attacking midfielder that has a great instinct for goals. to keep celta from being relegated on the final matchday, he dropped a brace on barca's head in spectacular fashion.
pep would turn him in to a good player with potential to be a great player. right now he's raw talent but one thing to note is he performed really well against the big teams in spain

i wouldn't spend anything crazy for him but seems other premier league clubs are interested too (the big ones)
i can see how his explosiveness attracts english teams

Another issue in Italy is that the clubs don’t own the stadiums, the cities do. Juve is one of the few exceptions.

I don't see the hype with declan rice for 100m. Hes a 55m player all day.
Many tell me about the tackling and interceptions but I thought about this.

If you're playing for a team that is 18th in the league for the entire season in possession, it's possible to be one of the leaders in those defensive counting statistics. What would impress me a heck of a lot more, is if your playing for a man city, Brighton, arsenal, man united who are top 6ish in possession and you still have those stats. West Ham are around 41% possession for the 2022/23 season.

[jape]

pretty wild transition but have to respect austin fc making a smart move

 

[DeadsetAce]

i hope we pull of out the declan rice chase too. i dont get why we're nutting over ourselves for him

I will never understand FFP.. Chelsea bout to drop another 100 mil on a midfielder and yet we only have 100 mil to spend in total.

shifting gears…
Just to add more context to the story.. apparently Antony posted this about his recent domestic situation.

Good. Last time they gave that bonehead $100M, he used all of it to sign Antony .
