He's gonna start a lot of matches this season. I hope we'll be able to keep him for another two seasons at least. He's still young and seems like a sensible guy.
At least for Dembele I've heard from fairly credible sources that his agent confirmed Barca suggested he put some pressure on the club. Of course they wouldn't be dumb enough to directly ask him to skip training sessions but between him and Coutinho Barca's strategy is fairly obvious. I'm just...
Most of the 37m is a reselling bonus for Puma and his former club which we will still have to pay now. Even if it had been a "regular" bonus we could have afforded that.
It's a done deal if you read between the lines of what HJW said to the press yesterday. You'll get a great player, ballon...
Dembele's suspension will continue. On some level I'm content we're not giving in to Barca's dirty tricks. But if they won't make a proper offer this whole process will hurt both Dembele and us.
My W&H NMDs came in today and I like their look in hand. Tthe PK is fairly thin and stretchy which probably makes them a great shoe for summer but also look weird because my toes push out a little when they move... I expected the PK to be less flexible like on my NMD 1s.
Still, glad I bought them.
I've stopped caring about Yeezys a long time ago but it's the same for most other releases. Always makes me wonder, why companies don't try to adapt to that.
I'll definitely consider them when they're on sale. I had the black Stampd Clyde in hand some weeks ago when I was at Solebox and the execution seems quite nice.
It's weird what hype does. I see why people like the AFEWs for their design but I think there were lots of better Diadora collabs so far that sat or even went on sale. Producing 2000 pairs also isn't that limited by Diadora standards. Still, AFEW managed to make these seem as extremely hard to...
Well, so much for our CL campaign. I think Tuchel summed it up quite well in his post match interview. The team did well in their CL matches and given the circumstances you couldn't really expect to advance. I just hope we'll be able to keep most of the players next season and have a chance to...
I think the whole Messi vs Ronaldo argument is somewhat ridiculous. They're clearly both among the best there ever were.
When I saw Messi play for the first time, it was probably the biggest talent I had ever seen since the early days of Ronaldo (the real one). That he was able to maintain...
I think that ship has sailed for us when we lost the first leg. Monaco seems far too strong at home for us to beat them by two goals, even with Reus back. Given all the circumstances around last week it's okay for me if we go out at this stage. But of course there's still hope.
Tough game. Tuchel basically said UEFA forced us to play today and a number of players confessed they would have preferred not to. Post game many still seemed shaken with tears in their eyes. Sahin sais as much in his interview.
It's going to be really tough to come back from this result but...
The bombs went off when the bus was about to leave from the team's hotel, afaik.
My dad was at the stadium and they only found out because of the announcements. So it's not really related to security rules around the match itself.
But they already screwed a tournament up because some of their best players harassed some teammates. Benzema was involved in a similar incident. They're clearly trainy to avoid another experience like that.
