Bonucci was offered 70, but he had to move to Britain which isn't an option due to the health conditions of his 3 yo child. |

Holy shit...guess Bonucci is really going to Milan. They are building a GREAT fucking squad, after signing Ricardo Rodríguez, Kessié, Musacchio and the promising André Silva. Juventus´s scudetto is not a sure thing (well, I say this every year, but they still win the damn thing) And Walker going to Man City: mother of god, the team they are building...if they get Benjamin Mendy and William Carvalho (Carvalho´s agent is Guardiola´s brother), god damn... |

What a fucking steal from Barça, fantastic signing. Still can´t believe he is going to Barcelona. I remember seeing this guy playing for Sintrense (a third division club from a small district, from where I´m from, in Portugal) - dude is a fucking legend, and he deserves it |

cherry68why the hell did you guys sell Bonucci to Milan of all teams?!

Did you see Lacaboss score his first goal for us the other day?
The first of many for sure.

@ Lubezki
Given Bonucci 's recent issues with Allegri and other team mates, he was destined to leave. Probably Milan was the team paying more among the ones who allowed him close to Turin hospital I guess.

The first of many for sure. He is one of the most promising right backs that´s for sure (but so are lots of players though). If Bellerín left for Barça, he would be a good choice I saw, and it got me pumped. Can´t fucking wait for this season to start. "The first of many"!!! |

so England won 2-1 against Portugal in the u-19 European final. It´s frustrating to see my country losing with that awful defensive mistake especially when they were playing so well..but well, efficiency is what truly matters. After winning the u-20 World Cup and the Toulon Tournamento, England has established itself very well (even more than before) in the young football paradigm, cause of great competence and a good investment

For a country that literally worships the game, we should be near the top all the time. Now if only our senior team can pull their finger out and not embarrass themselves at another major tournament, starting with next year's WC. |

Do you think Southgate is the right man at the moment for your country´s national team? |

Tough to say until I see some more matches and how he adapts to certain situations during an important game i.e tactics, formation changes etc. The advantage he has is that he's been with the England set up for a long time now, mostly with the U-21's, so the experience of working with the national side, which is a completely different environment to club football, is there. Only time will tell though. What do you think of the Portuguese national side right now? |

Only time will tell though. What do you think of the Portuguese national side right now? That makes sense and I think time has to be given to Southgate, of course. England has some (few) fine coaches at the moment though - Eddie Howe is very promising and Sam Allardyce is a good coach (yeah, we know what happened), but you´ve got nothing to lose with Southgate. Regarding the qualifying phase, since the 2010 World Cup, England has done well. Southgate is well integrated into the work of the different English national football teams, so that is useful for a renewal in the main national team, something that gradually needs to happen. I expect England to do a fine World Cup, at least much better than the last two editions. - they have some fantastic young players, above all. I think the Portuguese national side has a lot of quality in there (very promising and quality players), I think the future of our football is safe. It´s good to have someone like Cristiano to look up to. I respect our coach Fernando Santos for his integrity, as he is someone who genuinely cares about results and about winning, and for bringing new faces to our national side (because our former coach Paulo Bento was just awful, terrible "coach"). But I still hate the fact that we play like Euro 2004 Greece (it made us win a title against France though, god knows how). We have players for another style of play, we don´t have the same limitations as Greece had back in 2004, there was no need to play this conservative and defensive football. Our younger national teams have done pretty well, I think this deserves to be always mentioned. The creation of the B teams (especially Benfica, Porto and Sporting) in 2012 and the opportunities given to young talented players from the academies represented a very important change in our football - Quality players, whose majority is already part of the main team, started to appear in a more competitive environment: Bernardo Silva, André Gomes (I know), Gelson Martins, João Mário, João Cancelo, William Carvalho, Nélson Semedo, Ricardo Pereira, André Silva, Renato Sanches, Bruma, etc (and many others to come) - I am kinda worried about our center-backs, without Pepe we are kinda weak but I believe this will change. This new generation of portuguese players is fantastic, we are a small and modest country that loves football and for me that is very inspiring. |

Seems like PSG are going to cough up 200 odd million to sign Neymar.....200 million. Scored a nice goal tonight though. |

You might get van Dijk but you've had three bids rejected by Leipzig for Keita so they clearly don't want to sell. And fuck off if you think you're getting the Ox -- Chelsea can feck off too. We offload him to a club outside of the PL or don't sell him at all. The days of strengthening our direct rivals should be a thing of the past. |

The last time I checked Arsenal are still run by the same spineless cowards who wouldn't sack Wenger. |

Why does Liverpool need another box-to-box midfielder (Keita) though? Don´t they have enough midfielders? Are they giving in to those costly Klopp´s whims?

I'm guessing he's trying to strengthen Liverpool's counter attacking abilities and creativity. He's tailor made to provide lung busting runs from deep as well as take it upon himself to drive the team forward because his dribbling is fantastic and can open the opposition up. I really hope they don't get him.  |

If they needed someone from that team, it would be Timo Werner...but well, I´m just an Internet football coach BTW, we are set to sign Thomas Lemar, so I guess those are good news. And I also heard William is about to sign for us, possibly after the Champions League´s play-offs. |

Today I heard Monaco come out with a statement saying "Lemar and Fabinho are staying", but I think they just said that because we haven't come up with an acceptable bid yet (WTF ARE WE WAITING FOR?!?!) Man I hope Carvalho comes here, it's seriously an ideal signing. Where did you hear this? |

But like you said, we need to come up with a fucking acceptable bid. Monaco is gonna make a shit load of money, that´s for sure. Regarding William Carvalho: Given that I am Portuguese, I closely follow what is discussed in the sports newspapers of my country. Sporting will have a Champions League play-off to face, so they are making efforts to hold William Carvalho, or even their captain Adrien Silva, before these two matches. William wanted to leave the club for a long time (and the newspapers are saying that he will most likely join a Premier League club sooner or later, and the club would be Arsenal); besides, Sporting is also on the market looking for a replacement |
