Chelsea are playing a dangerous game if they're actually trying to move him on. 70mil for Mount with 1 year left is absurd, nobody is paying that. And I don't see any benefit in him leaving on a free next year, it's not like Kane with Spurs where he's guaranteed to drag them up the table if he stays another year.

This is an interesting little rebuild, hope it works out. Both Messi and Busquets are absolutely still elite and could imo play in Europe if they wanted to, but they are also specifically lacking a bit in physicality, and I always hear how physical the MLS is.

Seems quite turbulent in Amsterdam

 
  • Steijn, 49, joins from Sparta Rotterdam after guiding them to a sixth-place finish in Eredivisie last season.

  • He replaces John Heitinga who leaves the club after six months in charge.

  • Heitinga replaced Erik ten Hag’s successor Alfred Schreuder in January but departs after only finishing third behind rivals PSV and champions Feyenoord.

I'm a Barcelona fan so it brings me no pleasure to say this, but Madrid really seem to be transitioning their midfield well, if they actually trust Tchouameni again and move Camavinga back where he belongs. Having the options of Cama, Tchou, Bellingham and Valverde to start and Modric and Kroos as bench players would be insane if managed right. I think he will be an important part of their new chapter.

As a salty Barca fan, I will mention Real Madrid have the second highest wage bill in Europe... Unfortunately, we have the third

Chelsea are in this funny position where they have to sell players but they're frustrated teams are trying to buy the only good ones

The final act of Disco Elysium fucked me up for a while

Ah that makes sense but it's very stubborn. Mbappe doesn't seem to want that

Why exactly are clubs so reluctant to let players leave on a free when they've been at the club this long? Surely a player like Mbappe has sort of "paid back" his transfer fee after all the time he's spent there?

I think Reddit will have a somewhat significant loss in users but it'll endure, at least for the time being. Social media sites die slower now. But I'm happy I found alternatives because I just can't see myself using their official app

I'm not actually a United fan so I don't know what Sabitzer's loan situation is. But I do watch a lot of them and Eriksen is definitely on his last legs. I think he becomes a bench player next season.

My take on their center midfield targets is that Mount is a good player and would be good for them but he still doesn't solve their problem of progressive carries and tight possession. They need a De Jong type player and Mount definitely isn't that. But the midfield is very weak so he's an upgrade on what they have at least
