Rafael could have played his last game for Manchester United after suffering three broken ribs in Under 21 clash with Leicester (Daily Mail)


I think that pretty much says we'll never see Rafa in a United jersey again. It's unfortunate how unlucky he is with injuries.

Hugo Lloris ready to leave Tottenham to fulfil Champions League dream (The Guardian)

Revealed: Tottenham set for £90m summer clear-out with nine players up for sale (Standard)

View media item 1502245

Also on the list are Younes Kaboul, who started the season as captain but has not started a Premier League match since November, and Emmanuel Adebayor, who still has a year left on his £100,000-a-week deal.

Vlad Chiriches, Younes Kaboul, Etienne Capoue, Paulinho, Mousa Dembele and Aaron Lennon are all surplus to requirements. The future of Benjamin Stambouli is also unclear, even though the French midfielder joined the club only last summer.

That's pretty cool to see Muller go up with the fans and chant into the megaphone

Thiago looks so damn happy



Translation:

What Müller sang was 'humba', which is a German chant thanking those who support the team at the crowd. It is traditional in the Bundesliga, where some teams have adopted (like BVB, Bayern Munich, FSV Mainz and Werder) as chant at the end of match, in case of victory, which began to be sung in the mid of 1990s. He pronounced and the crowd responds: "Give me a H, Give me an U, Give me a M, Give me a B, Give me an A. Humba Humba Humba"

Lloris wouldn't be a bad possible replacement for DDG...

Thomas Müller is now the German all time top scorer in the CL with 27 goals.

Let's not forget he's only 25 years old :x

 

[mr marcus]

Idk why I thought he was older

This is a great photo. The old guard showing the young buck how it's done. Verratti still has a lot to learn. It's amazing how easily Don Iniesta got by Verratti, Yohan Cabaye, & Luiz. It wasn't like he was doing a lot of step overs, stutter steps, etc either.

Bundesliga's YT channel is robust with content. Here's a great feature on Dortmund's new coach Thomas Tuchel. It's been fun watching Bundesliga via FuboTV. Can't wait till Fox gets Bundesliga. Aside from watching Bayern, the football has been great to watch.

:x Had no idea Cuauhtemoc Blanco was still playing... Why has he looked the same (kinda old) for like 15 years...

Only reason I knew is because I saw him in FIFA one day, caught me by surprise. I though he stopped playing after his send-off match with Mexico last summer. But seriously, dude has had the same face since 2006. As of last night, officially retired, and no better team to finish his career against than Chivas.

The problem with Lloris is Levy.

He will make sure that United send a fleet of Brinks trucks before Levy even considers selling to a rival ( not sure why he sees United as a rival, but I digress)

He's had ALOT of tattoo work done in 2015, I think he had new ones on his right arm... Can someone post pics? He never struck me as the type that would get "tatted up" (aside from the tats he had of his son) prolifically... Interesting...

 

[User 37837]

Seems like the entire Argentine NT is tatted

The problem with Lloris is Levy.

He will make sure that United send a fleet of Brinks trucks before Levy even considers selling to a rival ( not sure why he sees United as a rival, but I digress)

Levy is the worst to deal with. He won't make a deal unless he believes he is winning the deal.

Isn't this what everyone wants though

who walks into a deal trying to get screwed over? you wanna always get a good deal man...

his sales speak for themselves, so I assume the guy knows what he's doing.

Yeas and now. Levy won't even do a deal where both parties win. Look at Adebayor for example. QPR and Crystal Palace were both will to take him on loan for the rest of the season as long as Spurs paid a part of his wages. This deal would've worked out for both parties with QPR/CP getting a player to help them stay relegated n Spurs offloading 60-70k a week in wages which could be used to sign a player who would actually play. Instead Levy rather keep Ade on the Spurs book for next 2 season doing nothing.

I mean DDG is gonna go for a good amount anyway so they'd probably be able to afford him but like crown said,I keep hearing that Real's looking for alternatives such as Begovic so there's still a chance he stays put.
