Football: A Game Of Two Halves & A Round Ball, It's A Funny Old Game

Could be another Ayden Heaven, young with potential. But Heaven was £1m not £50m.

But of a change from looking at Fernandes, Baleba and Anderson.

Wonder it Tchouameni is next...? Maybe he's the main signing still to arrive... Or Alex Scott.
 
Congratulations you got robbed. Meanwhile:

Huh, that came out of nowhere. But if he's got a release clause then that makes it a lot simpler. £35m for him seems like a good bit of business. I've always quite liked Tielemans and remember signing him in FM when he was still playing in Belgium.

It seems like the Ederson deal is off too. Sounds like something came up with his medical.

Apparently it might be back on depending on how other transfers go but not for the price/terms of the original agreement.

The Tielemans news came out of nowhere though, £35m is good business for him. He was a "wonderkid" at one stage. :messenger_tears_of_joy:

I guess they can keep that deal in their pocket for now while they see what else is out there.

With Tielemans, 29 is a little on the older side for the age profile and at this point he's played a lot of minutes. But I also think that it will be good to have some experience alongside Mainoo and Santos. If there wasn't a release clause I think he'd be going for much more so it seems like a great deal.

Welcome to FootballGAF! I'd seen some of your posts and you seem to know your shit. Which club do you support?

River Plate, Barcelona, Man City, PSG, Inter Miami (for Messi), Bayern Munich, Inter.

I would rank Barca at the top but I watch as many leagues as I can not just in Europe but in North and South America and Africa for the big nation battles. I have many means to watch practically any game at any time and when I'm around and I can, I DO.

Maybe no as much since Pep is gone. I'm fairly neutral in the PL. I was just as hyped for the race up top with Arsenal as I was for Tottenham almost going down.

It's all change next season, compared to the start of 25/26...

No Slot, no Pep, no Amorim, no countless Spurs managers & Alonso in at Chelsea .... but Lego Pep is still around.

I think Slot was prematurely canned. Amorim found more work LORD HELP HIM, Spurs shouldn't have as bad a season, Chelsea I will follow for Xabi Alonso (Liverpool fail for not signing him) and some of the lads, Man City I like Halaand mainly.

I heard this is a thing these days, people follow players or managers not clubs and therefore swap & change, I heard its more GenZ and younger, so i'm assuming you're under 23? Do you buy all the shirts for all these clubs?

I'm neutral on most of these, if you were to call me a more serious and biased fan then it would be for Barca. I probably follow at least 10 leagues. Even the Saudi league mainly when the top teams play and to see Ronaldo trip over his shoelaces.

I like the backend and business side and really move around almost like a kinda unbiased journalist. I'm over 40. I used to have hard allegiances but as I've aged I appreciate the overall game more even when a team I like loses

If you haven't seen it before, this documentary about the Superclasico from a few years back is a great watch.

I'm too much of a fan of the game overall. As I said, when I was younger I really cared more about some allegiance but I get over tough losses quicker and just appreciate the matches more.

I think the players are playing too many matches and they also think FIFA is a big greedy especially if they are thinking about expanding 64. I've always contested that it's great to have Nations come into the world cup that have never made it but the exclusivity of it all and having to work hard just to make it to the 32 was the sweet spot.

You have players that don't even play really serious ball as many times as some of the bigger teams so you're going to have people that are coming in much fresher and less prone to injury versus players that are weathered coming off a 70-game season. Those are the kind of things that really interest me in terms of the discussion.

That being said, even after the world cup you probably only have a few weeks of open time before the pre season starts so we won't be futbol deprived for too long.

Actually, you support City, the above gif still applies :messenger_tears_of_joy:
 
United have lost Casemiro & basically lost Ugarte for a large portion of the season. So they need more than 2 midfielders, especially considering the extra games with the UCL and the chance we won't get knocked out in the first fucking round of the domestic cup(s).
 
After tonight ... Cucurella what a signing for Real Madrid. Dude is a beast. Fuck here I am yet again hyped for the new season. Especially when I have a hard time to count WC MOTM awards for all our players so far.
It's all there, and I believe in Mourinho 100%, Carlo already did it when he returned to a top team from Everton, so can he!

They will, they are still looking for a DM, possibly Kone now he's out of the WC
 
Love me some United copium at this hour of the night. Real talk though, I like Tielemans and always rated him. Not sure about that lame Santos signing but Youri is a good one although he's 29
 
NOTIFICATION

I originally planned to keep this topic running season on season, but due to discussions in the World Cup topic and the amount of interest that topic has had with many others, I've decided to make a new 26/27 season topic. It'll sit in the OT for a period of time X weeks/months and then at an agreed time EviLore EviLore or another mod will move it over to here, in Communities. That way we can engage more people, it can be seen by more, favourited by more and essentially become a more populated thread with many new faces than what we've had through 25/26.

It won't be created until just before the 26/27 season begins, so that'll be around mid-August. I'll put a post in here with a link so you can all find it and favourite it.
