How do they calculate any of this? It sounds like bullshit. The same company that produced those shirt sales figures claimed that Real Madrid sold £20 mil of James shirts (345,000) in the two days after he signed for them....

United fans have it easy, I bet they haven't even tried watching a midfield with Felipe Melo, Sissoko and Jorge Martinez try to string a few passes together. You just know that type of fan will be waving the flag as much as anyone when their glory days return.

I know which I'd rather have.

Had to laugh when I saw the Montolivo links, purely for the backlash :D Beppe denied any approach for il capitano anyway. He'd be what, 7th or 8th choice here?

Drogba had a lot more opportunity than Toni, probably thanks to Luca peaking later (and the Van Gaal bust up ruined his best chance with a big team). I don't think its a significant gap either way, but Drogba did 'get away' with scoring a poor number of league goals for a few of years.

He's right about Drogba's goal scoring.

Ozil pulls off 90% of his own season's highlights within the space of 2-3 months or so before becoming so much more of a passenger, he's done this for about 3 seasons in a row for Arsenal. In terms of ability he's one of the best in that league, he should be achieving more than he is. Does...

Went and looked at the team Italy took to that u21 euro tournament in the summer in 2006, it isn't pretty :D Chiellini, Pepe, Biondini, Pazzini, Foggia, Montolivo, Palladino, Rosina all got caps for Italy. Easy to see which of those have had good careers.

That looks like an opportunistic move with a wide open gap to move into, and he hugged the inside of the kerb as well (indicating he didn't have too much speed going into it, he was under control). He wasn't jolting across Vettel, the gap was roughly 2 car widths.

Matic couldn't impose himself during many matches, not just against PSG. I've seen claims he has a "much higher" ceiling than the best Juve midfielder for a while now though, so I'm going to leave it here. Fucking christ.

I don't think he can be blamed for the incident at Shanghai, even Vettel afterwards accepted it was a racing incident. If this is a move to cement Max in the team then they've done the right thing though, and I don't blame them. Very rare talent he is.

I'm not counting Matic strolling about the pitch looking uninterested for almost the entire season as an "anomaly". Its a bad look if you've given up caring. You'd expect this tall, tough looking player to impose himself in games (especially against less physical players like Verratti, as an...

Grosjean was much worse at punting people off when he first started and he's developed into a good level F1 driver. Not saying Kvyat is as bad as Romain was, that is obviously shoddy driving for the first lap of a GP, but the Red Bull driver programme is ruthless if it is for that one mistake :D

Kvyat isn't even that bad, he's outperformed Ricciardo on a few occasions which is impressive. He even finished on the podium in China, Red Bull are fucking ruthless :D

Matic isn't the level Juventus should be after at all, overrated player. Almost every time he comes up against a higher level midfielder he goes missing, can think of numerous times it has happened even when that garbage Chelsea team won the Premier League last season.

Conte was part of the reason the club made a big push for him in the first place isn't he? Holding onto Cuadrado and signing Morata is going to make him popular. :D

I'd be so confused if any sort of offer like that arrived, does Zaza attract a lot of foreign hype?

Nothing the player, his agent or credible sources mention suggest he's looking to leave this summer. Why would he? He'll get more playing time next year IMO.
