Isn't Real about to get the same ban Barca got?

Maybe but it wouldn't be this summer.

@BVB Borussia Dortmund and midfielders @Guendogan8 will not work through the 30 June 2016.

 

[eiddyfouw]

^ what does that even mean?

 

[d3si]

Suppose it means Gundogan will not extend his contract. I guess Gundogan to United next year.

So glad Adidas is no longer with the NBA, they ruined the leagues jerseys. On the contrary, I'm usually a fan of what they do on soccer jerseys, surpassing Nike and Puma ones several teams

 

[chiva1908]

Nike > ______

 

[gil23]

Nike does have a more premium feel to it especially on match jerseys

My son's team gear is all under armour & it is nice durable stuff.

I'll always only wear Nike shoes & socks but I converted over to wearing all UA gear for when I work out.

They do make solid gear.

At least its not Cricket or Metro PCS, hell it could be a Chevy logo...

This. Started wearing them a few years back before they sponsored Spurs, their compression gear is better than Nike's imo.

Nige apologizes...

 

[youngin33]

Wish Chelsea gear was made by Nike.

What's this I keep seeing about a £100m bid for Bale being on the cards?

 

[User 37837]

PSG and pool have more ahead of Utd in the race for Depay...

 

[rolaholic]

I honestly believe that PSV is letting all this info out in a bid to bump up his price and squeeze every last penny out of us. This feels like an open auction . Would Memphis really want to go from playing CL footy to having none at 'Pool?

*found this whereisdepay.com

 

[User 37837]

Omg that site

Business tactics and logic was telling me that. Bale is a game changer but I feel he doesn't really wanna leave RM. Failing to get Bale and miss out on Memphis would be horrible

 

[rolaholic]

If £100m is offered then I'd like to think they'd be forced to rethink. I believe that they wouldn't care especially if they have a transfer ban is looming and still want Reus.

Bale has publicly said he & his wife love living in Madrid. As I've said before, whether he goes or stays depends on whether or not Perez loves him... He would certainly be a nice make weight player to bring DdG to the Bernabeu though. How 'bout Memphis coming to Madrid if Bale leaves? Daaaaaaaaaamn!!!!!!!!!!

In looking at their youth ranks, Madrid & Atleti are defiantly in violation of fifa laws as are many other clubs throughout Europe. Looks like the ban will be coming. Kinda ironic given Barca got reported by a Madrid official who sits on the youth committee.

There are Prem & Bundesliga clubs in violation too. I know several African, Japanese, & US players in the youth ranks on Prem teams. Same with Bundesliga. Hershey, PA teen Christian Pulisic who was 16 when he joined Dortmund's youth academy last year certainly violates the fifa law... There are actually a number of US kids playing in the youth academies in Bundesliga...

This should be very big in terms of the number of clubs that violate fifa laws. I said this in last year's thread.

I understand fifa wants to protect the youth from being "thrown away" if they don't work out for the clubs but many of these clubs don't do that most notably Barca. I think what they need to do is set up a certification process where fifa audits these clubs to see if they are set up to make sure kids are getting a good education outside of footballing & aren't exploited.

The rule as it exists is very very outdated. I wish I could work with fifa to change this & create the certification process...

Pulisic still violets fifa laws if he has a european passport?

The Memphis bidding war is slowly shaping up to be reminiscent of the Hazard saga 

. I'm expecting a restless summer during the transfer window with all the transfer bans coming 

Apparently Levy wants a world record transfer sum for Lloris,go figure
