So I haven't been paying too much attention but apparently England are in the Women's Euro finals. The 3rd goal against Sweden looked pretty nice. Germany vs France on the other side for the final. Would be funny if the women are the first team to win silverware over the men.


Other news of note- Aaron Ramsey has been released by Juve. Was looking like that was going to happen after he didn't have a squad number and was left out of the preseason tour. Other's left out are Chiesa (hurt probably), de Sciglio, Kaio Jorge, Arthur Melo, Marko Pjaca, and Adrien Rabio.
Luis Suarez is almost signed for his boyhood club Nacional in Uruguay. Looks like thats where he will finish his career
Scammaca looks like he is signing a 5 year deal with West Ham

Rumor time
Jules Kounde might be on his way to Barca as the club with no future might be stealing another defender from Chelsea. Chelsea might have back up options which, thinking about it, Chelsea might actually be going for one of them and just making Kounde rumors be a thing. It would benefit both camps to think Chelsea are interested. Kounde gets a higher contract and other clubs don't go after the defenders that are Chelsea's real targets. Along with that, they might be using him to get a higher price for Azpilicueta and Alonso. Both of them are on Barca's radar and heavily linked but you gotta make sure you get paid from this club up front or you will never get paid
Charles de Ketelaere of Club Brugge is being linked with both AC Milan and Leeds. No idea what to make of this. Milan are also interested in Ziyech from Chelsea
Depay is probably out of Barca. Rumors of Xavi telling him to look for a new club are probably true considering they signed Lewandowski and Raphina. Would also free up some cap space to spend more money
And finally, Alexis Sanches might be signing for Marseille after being out of contract

As for why they would do this, again, they don't think they will be around in 5 years

I always hear this shit but I highly doubt Barcelona themselves don't think they'll be around in 5 years time. They're one of the most supported teams across the whole middle east and you can bet your life that some Arab sheik will absolutely spend billions to buy them as an advertising venture if the worst case scenario happens.

Barcelona have ALWAYS pushed shit along so that the next President has to deal with their issues. I fully expect the next Barcelona president to threaten legal action against the current one and try and tear up those contracts that sell off percentages of future revenue. The De Jong contract is a perfect example of that, the past president reaps the rewards of the deal and the current one has to deal with the shitstorm as his wages become completely impossible to maintain. They'll keep doing this until they can't do it anymore, but it wouldn't surprise me if they kept this hustle going for at least a decade before they actually have to assume responsibility for any of this shit.

The most frustrating thing about it is we have young Italian midfielders with a ton of potential like Fagioli, Miretti and Rovella. But Allegri is just going to pull Rabiot off the transfer list and start the same midfield as last year cause he only gives minutes to experienced players.

Arab money bailing out Barca would piss me off so much. I use to like Barca with their style of play being developed from their youth team and only buying certain players that they simply couldn't develop. This new Barca is a completely unsustainable mess that needs to result in something so drastic like bankruptcy so that Barca and other clubs realize that there is a consequence to running a club so poorly with the finances. Heck I will settle for the club going bankrupt and having some european bank run the club for a few years until they get their money back and release operations back to the voters. Something to wake them the fuck up and stop pushing problems to the next president. I thought losing Messi would have woken the club up but apparently it has to be way more dramatic than that

Makes me think Ramsey must have a career ending injury to not be playing. If you are playing Pogba and Rabiot, then Ramsey would be in the squad if he had 1 leg

I believe Ramsey's contract was terminated yesterday but I think he's completely healthy. It'll be interesting to see if he heads back to the EPL.

I'm not surprised Juve brought Pogba back cause the front office has been shit for the last 5 years but it made absolutely no sense. Locatelli is really good as an 8 but when Jogba is healthy (which probably won't be often) Loca is forced to play as a regista and a lot of his best qualities are wasted. I'm not expecting much from Juve this year. The only thing that gives me a little hope is how great Di Maria has looked so far. I was skeptical about signing him cause he's a kinda old and will be gone after a year but he's clearly our best player now.

I'm interested to see how far Roma can go in the league this year, especially if they can keep Zaniolo (who is linked with Spurs and Chelsea). Mourinho has been pretty active on the transfer market so far and I don't think he's done yet.

Ramsey's contract was terminated. Idk why Rangers haven't picked it up yet. Rangers and Juve have to know something we don't otherwise A. Juve would have tried to sell him, B. Rangers would have instantly signed him, or C. we would be hearing about a few EPL teams fighting for his signature

Locatelli is really good, Chiesa should be back, and Di Maria is still really good. I don't think you guys should be winning the title but easy top 4 should have been a realistic goal. But Jogba and Allegri might have different plans for you guys

Dybala, Celik, and I would say even Matic were a good bit of business. I am also interested to see how Kluivert works out coming back from his loan. Nice turned down his option to buy and he is still young but he was once a really highly rated winger. Might need a solid season there
 
It's funny that Ronaldo thought he could just go to Alteti and be accepted by the supporters like he was a random transfer. There's probably no place he's more hated.

He needs to accept that he's stuck in Manchester for now. What's even the point of leaving if you're not going to a team like Bayern?

Also Jogba update: he could miss the World Cup, lol. Meaning he's played his last game in 2022.

Depends. they paid a shit ton of money for a player who was unproductive and didn’t try really despite his immense talent. It is a very poor statement on their transfer and coaching department

Atletico was never the option. The offering of Griezmann to afford Ronaldo was the key to that deal. See who wanted griezmann then offer Ronaldo to them. Atletico fans ruining Ronaldo's plan is awesome though lol

Oh so it was Partey? Lmao

Yikes
I woke up to him slapping me in the face and forcing it in my mouth. I begged him to stop and told him I was going to throw up, he laughed and confined to force himself in my mouth as I cried and pushed him off. I passed out and woke up sore vaginally and the next day I bled

ETA
PSG are having a fire sale and will let 11 players go this summer, some big names in there as well with Georginio Wijnaldum, Ander Herrera, Leandro Paredes, Julian Draxler og Mauro Icardi among them.

PSG 'acting in an uncompromising way' to their ELEVEN 'undesirables'

Kehrer has spent the last four seasons at PSG after signing from Schalke for £31million in 2018 and started 16 matches in Ligue 1 last season. He has featured in pre-season under Christophe Galtier.

Remember lads, it's the Euro finals on Sunday.

I actually like how the British media has spent the past few months basically treating it as though it was the ACTUAL Euros, and not the Women's Euros. It just feels like an experiment to see if we'll start giving a shit about women's football so that when BBC inevitably bids for the rights to matches, they might be able to get away with advertising "Arsenal vs Villa" in the hope of catching out an actual football supporter.

Lol I could totally see a bidding war for the women's premier league and then trying to convince advertisers to sponsor because they advertise to the advertisers that its "Arsenal vs Chelsea" and then they find out its for the women's premier league. Then have a giant lawsuit in England
