Can't wait to send Sevilla straight into Europa so they can go haunt Spurs and Arsenal.

btw why is Mignolet starter at Liverpool? Karius can't be that bad, because what I've seen from Mignolet this season is REALLY bad.
Transfer was probably a bit too early for Karius - I liked his performance at Mainz a lot, but apparently he should have stayed there at least one season more.

Cmon Lash, take my bait. One of these days I will get you to call me a bad person.
Nah, it was my bad there for being a smartass tbh

As bad as Mignolet can be at times....he is still better than Karius.

Migs is a strange one. Makes saved in clutch you'd never expect. Lets in the simple stuff, not helped by the defense.
Policy on him is the same as usual, he works better under competition so we have Ward and Marius, but we're kinda hoping one of them will be able to surpass the guy.

I guess it just baffles me how german Goalies are so much better in Germany than abroad. There were some transfers in the last couple of years, like Ter Stegen, Trapp and Karius and neither of them is very convincing and two of them are even on the bench quite often/most of the time.

Lashley laying down the law. Could be the strong center half GAF-FC up in Scotland need.
So he would be our Ramos?

I was more thinking a constantly drunk John Stones. Can't afford any of the players being good enough for Barca to tap up eh? Might wreck the property market where we're based.

I'm really hoping the Journey ups a notch in cheese next year. Maybe give Hunter a girlfriend and moral choices based on that, it'd be hilarious.
Really good chance for all the Spanish clubs to make it through.
Both Manchester clubs got incredibly lucky with their groups imo.
Why do they use such a weird trophy for this award?
What is Red Bull Leipzig?

I guess some players just struggle to adapt to a new league. Different climate, different language, different manager etc. The reasons would be different for each but it is always a gamble when buying from another league/country
This is why it is sometimes advantageous to purchase players that are proven in the same league

Aye it's is
I just get FIFA for clubs - my friends hate PES "because it's too slow"

It's FIFA 17.5
I think Ward should get a shot, played a huge role in getting Huddersfield promoted and was great in pre-season. Has by far the most potential out of the 3 and is far better than a reserve keeper.
I do like Migs though, and thought he was fantastic towards the end of last season and hasn't really been too at fault for anything this season yet.

They do know Coutinho will be playing in Midfield from now on for us right?

Karius wasn't convincing when he was starting last season, but he needs to play games to make himself stable in Klopp's eyes.
Mignolet has always been error prone, even if he's in good form. Ward is still too young and needs to go out on loan once more.
Since we have so many games now, hopefully both Ward and Karius can bump Mignolet off his perch. I still don't trust him, just like Lovren and Moreno.
Best wishes.

People really haven't been paying attention to Klopp transitioning Phil in to midfield have they? It's clearly his best position.
Word was he's had a "take it or leave it" contract offer since January. As much as I like him as a person, based on current performances I would be very disappointed if we offered him a new contract on wages significantly higher than Ozil's.

Nah. This one is on barca really
U guys should target Perin or at least Meret. Young talented italian keeper too. Also damn cheap.

In pretty much here really. Having Fifa on switch would be excellent but wish we could get a good PES version. I used to love those on PSP and it was so easy to get kits and roster updates
i still use PES controls when playing fifa
If that deal is true...second biggest transfer of all time.
I consider myself as someone who doesn't ever really get surprised by crazy transfer fees, but this one is just beyond me. Nonsense.
Wish pool could have managed to get pulisic last summer. Now they're going to have no chance next summer.

Thank god we bought Pogba two years ago.
He is extremely talented and might become one of the best in a couple of years but all this insanity could as well lead to a Anderson, Robinho or Pato story. For that money it's a massive gamble.
It's not bad at all, but Ralf Rangnick said Dembele and Mbappe are right now the only talents he thinks of regarding a Ballon d'Or in the future and as I think very highly of Rangnick's evaluations I'm not that happy with this.
Let's say he has an even greater year than before. It's not like his price will go down and we would actually have him around another year. Watzke probably just wants to avoid any unfavourable headlines by the media or any reaction from the fans, which would weaken Dembele mentally.

I'm more worried about Keita next year tbh, he has a release clause of 48m and all of the big clubs will be sniffing around him at that price.
Barca are a fucking shambles.
Watzke said in German TV that they only thought about selling Dembele because Barca had just recieved 222m and wanted a huge share of that money. They have Reus, Pulisic, Schürrle, Mor, Phillip and even Aubameyang who could play Dembele's position.
He was not irreplacebale and Watzke even admitted that under normal conditions they would have kept him or sold him at a price around 60-80m, which is still ridculously excessive for a 20year old.
Watzke could be happy with it, but I view it as some kind of curse because we inherited now the tough negotiation position Barca was in before (and still is). I'm pretty sure Dortmund wants a replacement for Dembele, as they still plan to sell Mor. Reus is just very injury prone (and tbh not that good anymore because of that).
