From Spanish´s bookie Luckia.

Odds on Suarez biting Pepe and/or Sergio Ramos next season 21/1, Ronaldo 51/1, any other player 18/1.

Start investing for retirement right now!

Why did Barca get into this mess on purpose. You guys need Laporta back ASAP.

I'm just wondering right now, sorry if it's a dumb question, what did Tottenham do with the Bale money?

Second question is: what is Liverpool doing with Suarez money?

Madrid is paying Spurs over numerous installments, the Bale transfer is part of their infamous debt amount. So Spurs don't have the money yet. Only parts.

Don't worry Bayern have already launched their Secret Operation "Lethargy and Complacency" against Real Madrid.

Bang on.

Too often players don't show the duty of care for their own careers when angling for big moves. It's alright saying you play for Real Madrid and taking home the big wage but ultimately your ability will stagnate and you'll be left behind.

Isco needed to spend last season playing every single match. If he doesn't do that next season he's really going to struggle.

Nedved's interview on Tuttosport is a good read

tutjul20_0.jpg


Regarding Conte

“Anyone who thinks Antonio Conte resigned due to the transfer strategy is wrong. Our plan is clear: we want to keep all our best players, including Vidal and Pogba.

Regarding Vidal

“We don’t want to sell anyone, especially not Vidal. Of course, if a particularly high offer arrived then we’d have to think about it, but we don’t want to sell our champions.

“We want to be competitive in the Champions League and the only sales will be players who are not part of our plans.”

And this one is REALLY surprising LOOOOL

Nedved surprisingly sided with Uruguay striker Suarez after his four-month ban for biting Italy and Juventus defender Giorgio Chiellini.

“I was very angry with Chiellini for his reaction, as he behaved like a child showing the bite mark to the referee.

“I talked about it with Beppe Marotta and I’ll discuss it with him directly. In any case, Giorgio showed intelligence over the next few days when he asked FIFA to reduce the ban.

“Suarez is a great player and I’d sign him straight away for Juventus. In fact, we were on the verge of getting him two years ago and I was fully in agreement. He’s a champion and that is all.

“I have played on the pitch, so I know what it’s like to have a little tantrum.”

apparently we were close to Suarez two years ago? Back in the RVP to Juve days IIRC.

P.S. Nedved is a board member.

I agree 100%

The problem is no player thinks he will be "that guy" who fails and ends up in Europa football tier. Isco would do wonders for his career by moving to Liverpool. I don't understand why he would just outright say no like he did right away. It's not like he would earn less, he would get a wage bump at Liverpool, and way more playtime.

I suppose he wanted the prestige of playing Real Madrid.

It's odd though, a player like Isco could still go to a massive club (Liverpool, United, Chelsea) and become a star there, rather than be a bit-part in a much bigger enterprise.

Reading The Sunday Times now, Duncan Castles says that United only said LVG didn't want Kroos to save face once the player had snubbed them.

The Kroos snub is old news at this stage afaik.

I still don't get why we got Kroos.

I guess he will be great, once Alonso retires and goes back to Real Sociedad, or the MLS in 2 years.

Sorry, Pulga died for Kroos. I hope he does good for us.

You're going to be in bits when our signings turn out to be good, aren't you?

I think Markovic will have a bigger impact than Lamela. I think Can will have a bigger impact that Paulinho. I think Lovren will have a bigger impact than Vlad. I think Remy will have a bigger impact than Soldado. I even think Lallana will have a bigger impact than Eriksen.

And crucially, crucially, we've got Brendan Rodgers.

Think I remember reading articles that seemed very dismissive of the notion that we didn't want Kroos. Didn't outright state that he said no to us, but it was heavily implied.

Apparently De Vrij has stated he's no longer interested in Lazio and is keen on a move to Manchester. So all it takes now is for United to offer the right amount of money and he's off to England.

De Vrij looks useful, but we already have enough young defenders. Need an experienced head to help us along. One who isn't Vlaar or Vermaelen.

After reading up on LvG's preferred tactics, quick passing and high pressing, I really can't see any place for Fellaini in the squad. Or for most of our midfield tbh. A fit Carrick would be OK because he conducts the play. From what little I've seen of Herrera he looks like he could fit that style too. The rest haven't a hope.
