Borussia Dortmund's Mario Götze ruled out of Champions League final …

Mario Götze: In the Bundesliga this season, Dortmund have won 65.2% of their matches with Götze starting, compared to just...



36.4% without him.

Former City and USA international midfielder Claudio Reyna has been announced as New York City FC director of football.

Isn't City sending some of their players off to New York on loan? Good way to get them off your wage books with FFP approaching.

If Moyesey is going to play Kagawa as a AML, then I'll welcome him at Spurs. :p

Bale --- Kagawa --- Lennon

Turns out there is a Supporter's Club in Dallas. Pretty decent turnout! Shame it's 3 hours away..[/QUOTE]

This is pretty cool. You should go for a final or the derby!

Unlikely. Each club can only have a few players making more than around $100k per year (let alone per week) and the highest salary in the MLS is about $3.5 million or so (Thierry Henry) which is still a pittance compared to fairly moderate EPL wages. The team will loan out some youth players from the EDS to get them experience.

Fuck these Tiago rumors. He needs to stay at Barca and keep Cesc out the team so we can get him back next season.
Don't think it matters. The way he's currently playing that will keep him out of the team. He's playing like he doesn't give a fuck and Barca will strengthen this summer making it harder for him. I want them to buy a world class striker please.

Fuck yeah, awesome decision. Fuck Götze. A half-assed Götze won't help us much.

36.4% without him.

I think Gündogan's rate is much higher. And that Götze statistic is flawed anyway considering most of the matches he missed were at the end of the season in which we didn't really care about the Bundesliga anymore.

Btw Dortmund and Chelsea-GAF.. no clue how true this is, just saw it in the comments section of an article:

Whoop whoop !! Romelu Lukaku just said to the German press he would like to join Dortmund with Kevin De Bruyne if Chelsea buy New Strikers. Nur der BVB echte liebe!!
 
They got Llorente too.

Llorente and Higuain are two pretty good strikers. Not RUMBO level okay - still a massive upgrade on what they have now though.

We "found agreement with Higuain" days if not weeks ago. It was always about Madrid.

They want 25-30 and we're only offering 22. Buying him *now* makes no sense considering we're still in for Tevez and Jovetic.

Badstuber is out for 10 months.

Will miss most, maybe even all, of next season. He missed most of this season too.
As I said before, I feel really sorry for him.

He was brilliant, too. If Kelly has a recurrence of his injury I'll be distraught.
