I am both in disbelief and relief that we signed Bale and Reguilon. That delayed announcement had me worried for a bit after the whole Dybala fiasco from last year and the nightmare flashbacks of Willian.
Can't wait to see Bale, Son and Kane starting, that is a filthy front three that can rival any front three in world football. So freaking excited for the season after that absolute wreck of a season opener vs Everton.
Plus we are going after a back up striker, center midfielder and even a center back as well. So it seems we are far from done strengthening the squad.
Also the EPL looks like its is going to be a bonkers season, becoming even more competitive with a extra dose of upsets.

Evra seems like he’s too busy loving this game to be concerned with such trivial matters as rules

It’s gonna be a long season

But skysports will not let him do what he want going forward.
Yeh I would imagine he will get a reminder from them to be careful with what he says.

As a Madrid fan, what’s your thoughts on Reguilon?
Dark Rider
Member
He has potential to be a top player but he need to polish his skills and improve his performance to be able to secure a place at Real Madrid so his time with Spurs should be the time he achieve both of these things and to impress us. I hope he does rise up to the task.

What are you thinking 4-2-3-1 Bale behind Kane or 4-3-3 bale on the right?
Who would have in midfield?

Can't wait to see him play, we haven't had an attacking left back in ages ever since Rose feel oof.I'm very interested to see how both play there. Of course I care more Reguilon performance
Idealy I would want a some sort of 433 with Lo Celso, Hojbjerg, and Ndombele in the middle and Bale, Kane, and Son up top. I would also like to see Kane play a false 9 with Son and Bale as wing forwards similarly to how Kane played today dropping deeper and playing balls in behind with the insane speed both Bale and Son posses, could make for an deadly counter attacking set up.
But today's game was ridiculous Kane with 4 assists and a goal and Son with 4 goals, what a turn around in the second half. I actually want to see some heading stats for the first half as there where so many stoppages and delays it with no rhythm to the game. We really needed this sort of game to lift the squad, Bale lifted the atmosphere around the last day or two but these sort of performances are gam changers when it comes to the players actual confidence.

Man I'm so happy to see Everton looking like they've finally got some teeth rather than being a perennial mid to upper-mid table team. It's a long season, but it's been a pretty long time since they looked like they had the potential to be dangerous.

Me too, I have a soft spot for Everton. I hope their performance and win vs Spurs will give them more confidence vs. Top 6 opposition something they have lacked for so long now.

I don't think it's unreasonable. They've got the horses imo. Of course, there are many moving parts with injuries and overall chemistry, but I think they should have that as a realistic goal.

We start with a draw
I agree, do you think James will make an impact? he has his favorite manager there so he has no excuse.

I think he's already making an impact and expect he will continue to do so - health allowing, of course.
Sure would be nice to have stadiums full of fans. As much as I love the sport (and others), it's really lacking the atmosphere that makes it special. Hopefully it won't take too long until we're past this.

There is a race for a vaccine/cure and once that is done the fans can return in full force, I hope it doesn't take long and forever alter the game.

The Sports Judge awarded the 3-0 victory to Hellas Verona for the match against Roma that finished 0-0. The Giallorossi were penalized for the error in compiling the list of 25 players, in which Diawara had been included as under 22 despite having already turned 23 years old.

"Everything went through the 29-year-old, he was head of quality control – so much so that he set a new record for the most successful passes in a 45 minute or less performance since records began in the Premier League in 2003, with 75.
He was surpassed by no other player on the field from either team across the entire 90 minutes, with Naby Keita (49) the closest for the Reds and Mateo Kovacic (64) for Chelsea. "
Thiago is such a fucking great player, he really commands the team to the point he almost feels like a QB from the other football lol.
Thiago debut offers early insight into invaluable influence on & off-field
A record-breaking cameo is to be only the start.

To be honest my real questions are why did he want to leave Bayern? and why did Bayern ultimately let him leave?
Also why there wasn't a bigger fight to sign him from other clubs?

Imagine if he did his next PR appearance in Italian
But would you fetch the same transfer fees total?
Too convenient, sound like those statements that players use whenever they change clubs "always wanted to play for XXXXX since I was in the womb" and club badge kisses on the first day.
