In shit Premier League news for Americans, NBC is putting 130 or so matches and replays behind a paywall for $50 a year. Also at least 3 matches from each club will go behind the paywall too.

Can any Seria A followers tell me about Defrel? Apparently we are close to signing him.

He is, but not to the level that Azpi is. Either way, there's no reason to displace Azpi on the left who's been Chelsea's best defender this season.

Have UK FootyGAF seen the news that Sky are having a big shakeup of the sports channels?

RAther than Just SkySports 1-5 and SkySports F1, they will just have channels dedicated to sports. So there will be 2 for football, one for F1, one for golf and one for cricket with Sky Sports Arena covring the other stuff. You'll be able to just have the channels you want rather than also having shit you don't want. The cheapest sports package will be £18 a month.

https://sbcnews.co.uk/retail/2017/0...hanges-sports-subscriptions-content-strategy/

Ahead of the start of the 2017/18 English Premier League season (12 August), main broadcaster Sky will move to scrap its individual sports channels, with a view of streamlining its content and viewer paid subscription packages.

Seeking to boost its subscriptions, the broadcaster will retire its Sky Sports Channels (1,2.3, 4 & 5) creating new ‘sports-themed’ package options for customers. Sky’s new sports-themed packages are reported to include individual channels for football (2 dedicated channels), formula 1, cricket and golf.
In order to fulfil its broadcast obligations for other sports partners, Sky will launch a new channel ‘Sky Sports Arena’, which will host content for tennis, rugby, darts, etc…

TV insiders report that the new content strategy forms part of Sky governance’s ‘major shake-up’ as the broadcaster looks to combat falling sports subscriptions. Furthermore, the broadcaster has been forced to revamp its sports strategy having paid £4.2 billion to secure its latest English Premier League TV broadcast rights for 2016 – 2019.

Sky Sports will relaunch its services with a reported £18-per-month package for each individual dedicated sports channel. The broadcaster will also form a ‘bundle – all content’ subscription package reported to being priced at £49 per month.

Having been coerced into a bidding war for the English Premier League TV rights against competitor BT Sports, Sky management now faces a reported £10 million cost per EPL televised match. As well as offering dedicated sports channels, Sky will broaden its access to individual sports matches/events through its Sky Now service, charging non-subscribers a viewing fee for day passes or viewing ‘one-off’ content.

A reminder

Strict guidelines are now in force over what anyone - from news organisations to individuals using Twitter and Facebook - can write about the suspects.

WHAT HAS CHANGED?

In legal terms the proceedings against those charged are now “active”.

Under contempt laws this means nothing should be published that could cause a substantial risk of seriously prejudicing the legal process.

In essence, a process is now underway that could see those charged face a jury trial - and nothing should be done that could influence prospective jurors that someone is guilty.

This means social media posts - whether a profile has 10 or 10,000 followers - should not include comments that implies any suspect is guilty of the offence they have been accused of.

Doing so could provide a basis for a defendant to argue they can not get a fair hearing.

....

While you could not write, for instance, that it was the correct decision to charge a suspect and why, you could post that you disagree over the decision not to charge someone and explain your reasoning.

Time for Americans to jump on the Soccerstreams bandwagon. That's some bullshit from NBC.

Dani Ceballos is also on our radar, some reports even saying it's a done deal.

Wonder where that leaves Kylian Mbappe now that we've went for Sandro fucking Ramirez.



He is from Barcelona's academy too.

News that you denied it going around now? Weird that some have said it's a done deal.

Okay so a few updates from Florentino Perez in an interview:

- We are not currently negotiating with Manchester United in regards to Morata.

- He do not see a place for Mbappe. He asks, who would leave.

- He expect Marcos Llorente to stay with us but it is ultimately up to Zidane.

- The first business is to renew Zidane's contract.

- We are negotiating with Atletico for Theo Hernandez, and he expect it done soon.

- He would not directly comment on Ceballos but said we have a clear strategy when it comes to the young players.

- He haven't heard anything about a Sandro Ramirez deal.

So the Evening Standard are reporting Ake is flying home to secure his move to Bournemouth for £20m.

Apparently we're negotiating a buy back clause in the deal which is something.

They're also reporting that we're in talks to sell Van Ginkel to Eindhoven.

And both the Mail and Standard are reporting that we're looking to step in and sign Manolas from Roma before he signs for Zenit for £26m.

I do not understand why we would sell a kid with so much talent and ability, who has played in this league, and sign a guy (for more money than we'll get for Ake!) who has no experience of the league and was on his way to play in Russia...

Also we're expected to announce Bakayoko's signing this weekend.

Lame but not surprising. The only reason to subscribe to this would be if you're a huge fan of a smaller club that is not picked for the TV slots in the UK often. Most will be fine with just watching whatever game is on NBCSN for the UK Saturday 3 pm kickoff as it's usually one of the big clubs, or better yet watch the Bundesliga or La Liga during that time slot.

Everton report:

Everton in "advanced talks" with Michael Keane. Pretty sure he's ours. Ladbrokes suspend betting on him signing for us.

Young talent Henry Onyekuru signed for Everton, going to Anderlecht on a 1 year loan(can't get work permit yet) Stuffed PSG and West Ham. Kid is special.

Sandro announcement expected after the u21 tournament.

Trusted sources(ITK) say Barkley is signing a new deal.

Deulofeu rejected Barcelona. Roma and AC Milan after him. Might stay at Everton.

Everton heavily linked with Mauricio Lemos(CB) of Las Palmas.

Cuco Martina close to signing, viewed as a backup for RB.


Happy days.

Dude goes wondering way too much, why we got rid. We have Cedric and Pied so have no need for him this season.
