oh, definitely, no objections to that. it's understandable though, I'm not that sure either I wouldn't be able to convince myself that there's good reasons for that, just like f.e. Mane probably convinced himself that it's ok to take money from the bad guys if he gives some of it to the poor.

this is just like Barcelona and their levers, we're just taking money away from the future of the club at a horrible rate.

Me personally I hope I'd have enough sense to not go money grabbing to a country like Saudi Arabia. But I can see the general appeal, 480m vs 80m gives you enough funds to become an owner of a football team yourself or to do whatever else you can't do with 80m :D

80m or 480m? I can see the point of wanting the extra 400m, that's a big difference, very few people ever arrive at the point of having "enough money".

I'd select him if I'm France. But of course at his age he'd be extremely unwilling to sit out a season, also due to the national team.

Given that we reached a plea regarding the sporting penalty for this specific thing in the exact same time period, I'd expect that the real law enforcement with the real investigators, prosecutors in real word courts might come after Agnelli, Cherubini or even order the club to pay a fine, but...

For sure, for sure. Agnelli kicked Beppster out, veto'd Conte, who went to Inter and it all blew up in his unibrow face spectacularly, turned out they're both far far better at the job than their replacements. Its just a bit ridiculous to credit Marotta for building a CL finalist quality team...

looked like an attempted pass to me :D

The greatest goalkeeper in the history of football, at his absolute prime, fresh from winning the WC in an impossibly good form went to Serie B, stayed when we were losing titles to Inter, stayed when we were 7th. All the while being a better keeper than any other person on the planet. What a...

Can you film yourself now and post a video? :p That first bit is not easy.

Allegri after next season: we must be ambitious when setting our targets, I knew all along a 4th place would be an achievement with this team.

If we do sign him I expect Inter fans to celebrate a bullet dodged and not give a crap.

this makes a lot more sense than Kessie. even if the transfer is more expensive, if we give him a reasonable salary, it'll still be cheaper than Kessie and a better investment in the future.

I'd consider giving both, the 2 kids I have feels enough and if I change my mind there's always the option to adopt.

he's been playing competitive pro-footie for 14 years, its bound to have it's effects. he played regularly for Anderlecht since he turned 16 and went to play regularly in EPL by age 19. age and conditioning is one thing, but career length is important too. Drogba retired when he was 40 or close...

definitely, Rooney, Fabregas, Raul, F.Torres and other teenage prodigies were all in the twilight of their careers even before they turned 30. however with Lukaku it's probably the wear and tear from playing professionally since he was 16 + lack of discipline. if you look at him under Conte...

this guy was a great player, played 3500+ minutes, scored 30 goals and gave 10 assists. current Lukaku looks to be at least 10kg heavier, consequently is available for only half the season and for 2 seasons straight hasn't broken the 20 goal barrier. I doubt even someone like Conte could lit a...

I think I can see his jaw, did he get thinner?

I think it's a cornerstone for a healthy cycle in a football club, you need to have flexibility and room for operations. you'll always have players that for whatever reasons will need to be moved on, either they're bored and lost the passion, have flopped / declined, are refusing to renew or...

Nah, he was good at first and then went sour. Like Darth Vader / Saruman or a little less hot version of Daenerys. if we're focusing on Harry Potter, I think the rat-man suits him.
