If Malacia joins Man U there will be three left-backs at the club. I think it's high time Alex Telles is moved on. He has underwhelmed massively and never looked the attacking full-back we anticipated.

The news I've anticipated all summer finally arrived. I was very underwhelmed when Ronaldo was signed from Juventus last summer. He was undoubtedly a world class striker but definitely not the guy the team needed. Manchester United finished second behind City is 2020/2021 season. Despite the wide points gap to City what the team needed was glaring: a right-sided winger and a top central defender. In comes Sancho and Varane to solve those problems emphatically. As a Man U fan…
Sterling to Chelsea is nearly done as personal terms have been agreed. City won't scupper the deal and will accept a reasonable offer around £50M. If Sterling joins Chelsea I don't see them buying Ronaldo. Sterling is on £300,000 per week and will not lower his wages . Ronaldo is on £500,000 per week. Acquiring both players will cripple Chelsea's finances. That leaves PSG and Bayern as the two most likely destination for Ronaldo.
Manchester City are so confident to the point they are letting their fringe players join direct Premier League rivals. Gabriel Jesus joined Arsenal. Sterling and Ake are about to join Chelsea. Manchester City are so confident right now, strengthening their rivals. I hope they regret this.
Jack Wilshere appointed Arsenal U18 manager few days after officially retiring from playing football at the relatively young age of 30. I'm quite happy for him. His experience and technique should help forge a new set of midfielders who prioritize technical skills over the physical ones
The Ousmane Dembele soap opera finally reached an exciting conclusion. Phew! That was an interesting watch. Last January, Dembele was told to find himself another club or sign the contract offered. At that point, it looked like we were about to experience a full-blown, ugly battle involving Barca and one of its player yet again. For two games, Dembele was dropped from the squad. He was threatened and told he will be forced to train alone. The fans turned against him too in…
No team out there will be silly enough to pay £100M for Declan Rice. Kalvin Phillips just joined Man City for £45M, Rice is just a little bit ahead of him talentwise.
If your team just purchased five different players and they're telling you to leave so as to balance their books, you need no soothsayer to tell you are surplus to requirements. I guess Barcelona believes Pedri and Gavi are good enough for their midfield.
I have to admit I'm highly disappointed in Lingard's decision to play for a newly promoted side. With his experience he could've chosen far better sides home and abroad to represent. His decision to sign just a year contract with no extension clause is smart though. If Forests struggle and get engulfed in a relegation battle, or ultimately, relegate, Lingard will jump ship immediately.
Hello, here. Its been a while. How are the draft picks going so far? The earlier you started tweaking the better. GW1 is just three weeks away. #FPL
You learn more from defeats than wins. If Man U win all their matches in the preseason I would've been very sad. Those unimportant wins would've deceived everyone associated with the club. As ridiculous as it sounds, Calum Chambers last gasp equaliser against Man U may be the most important goal they will concede this season. The wins against Liverpool and Melbourne City would've given everyone a sense of security, building up belief which will in turn lead to unsurmountable…
Now that Atletico Madrid have finally ruled themselves out of signing Ronaldo, it looks like the dude has nowhere to go - except the rumoured Saudi Arabia link. I personally don't want him to stay. I never wanted him in the team last season because he was clearly not who Man U needed.
So, it's eight-time champions, Germany, versus England at the Women's European Championship Final on Sunday. The Lioness have a tough task on their hand as they try to defeat the record champions. Euro 2022 has been a very interesting, intriguing tournament so far.
Even though Sebastian Vettel has been quiet in recent seasons, he was once the dominant force in F1. I wish him the very best as he retires at the end of this season. #Respect #F1
Finally, I've got an account on Hive. The link to my first post over there discussing what looks inevitable is pasted here. Kindly check it out and follow. https://ecency.com/football/@mckane/women-euro-2022-final
80 points is definitely way too big to close, especially when the closest competitor is highly inconsistent. For supporters of Red Bull and Max, the season has been incredible. For me, the season has been average so far. Only a miraculous capitulation will deny Max his second title. And this time, it won't be controversial.
