Rumor is Chelsea has agree to personal terms with him. And offered 40 million to Monaco.

I'd ask for more. Obviously PL teams can spend.


It's better than what Roma does tho. I swear we sell all our talent for 30 mill or lower. I don't get why.

Speaking of,Monchi is headed to Roma apparently to be their director of footy...

Kante and Bakayoko would be kinda nasty...:x

That Monchi rumor has been going around since Saba left. I wouldn't mind. The players that have gone to Sevilla because of him is impressive.

[lovehateself]

[Armada]

New kits

Looks the same as this years

 

Love it I didn't really like the slightly navy sleeves this year full sky blue is byke. simple and plain is the best way to do a City kit and most importantly back to the white shorts 

 and a maroon trim in the socks too 

 

 

[ROYGBiV]

Can someone explain why the hell city changed their crest to that?

It's what the older fans and a good number in general prefer the OG look before the eagle so they brought it back and modernized it a bit.

Still need to see Chelseas new nikes kits. I've see some mock ups on twitter. But I don't think these are real. View media item 2382465

White shorts are byke!!! Looks like a white stripe running down the side which isnt bad. Glad Nike didnt do too much with the collar either.

I didnt mind this years with the Navy sleeves, but I'm glad were going back to a more traditional and simpler look. Im just hoping we get a fire 3rd kit or go back to a Black and Red one.

City bringing byke the maroon/burgundy to the home kit in some form

I would love another red and black stripped away but rumors are it's not gonna be that this season hopefully season afte.

Would be dope

 

[sneaksoy]

All three Real kits are trash imo. A real shame after how nice this year's white and purple joints are.

City new kit is clean, and I still am a huge fan of their black/red away jersey this year. And I know everyone is up in arms about Nike recycling this years template but that Chelsea white/grey mockup is too fresh.

Reminds me of Everton's from last year, wish they were a non-English team and I would've copped a Lukaku joint.

WATCH: Teenagers Weston McKennie and Nick Taitague debut for Schalke’s first team
They aren’t called “Schalkemerica” for nothing.

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

As is customary for German clubs during international windows, Schalke partook in a friendly against second division side Hannover on Thursday. Called up to replace those players away on international duty were six of Schalke’s U19 players — including all three of the club’s 18-year-old American imports.
McKennie and Taitague both earned spots on manager Markus Weinzier’s match day roster but Haji Wright — who made his debut already during the winter break — was ultimately left out due to an unspecified injury.

McKennie, who is only seven months removed from his longtime home of FC Dallas, was involved from the start taking up his natural central midfield role as one half of their standard double-6 midfield. Taitague, who officially signed just last month, was brought on as an 82nd minute substitute, playing out wide on the left. In the end, the two would be the only U19 players used by Weinzier.
This was very much an archetypal performance from McKennie, putting on display all the qualities that have made him such a exciting prospect for Dallas, Schalke, and the U.S. youth set up; natural athleticism, crisp technique, and a cultured understanding of the game. As for Taitague, his coming on so late meant there was little involvement to note for the ex-FC Richmond prodigy.

Schalke uploaded the full match to youtube.


I'm intrigued by Taitague. Never watched him but DA scouts rave about his technical ability.

McKennie on the other hand is a known commodity. He will captain the USMNT senior team one day.

Fun fact about McKennie. At one point last summer he captained FC Dallas U18's on their run to the USSDA playoffs, he captained U.S. U19's, and he captained Schalke U19's, all in a one month span.

He was given the armband and captained Schalke's U19's in a preseason friendly a month before he officially signed with the club. I'd never seen that in my life.

He's captained them ever since. You just don't see a foreigner come in and immediately command that kind of respect at one of the top academies in the world.

Thanks for the link, thats very major. Speaks to volume what kind of player he is. At this rate, there's a good chance these 3 will get some time during the preseason matches. They seem to be there, if not, pretty close.

I've only seen highlights of Taitague, I remember hearing so much about him. I hope to see more America's move to Germany this summer.
