Summer Football and Transfer Thread 2017

We invented the sport though. Without us, there would be no such thing as Football in it's current state.
So yeah. Suck it.

[Sughs]

It would still exist, it would simply be slightly different. And isn't it even worse to invent something and not be good at it?

[draykorinee]

Must be a troll comment.
Willing to take an infraction for it.

Thanks for taking that one otherwise it would have been me.

Everyone slates English players including the English.

Again, so sad. The hate for Portugal and portuguese in this thread (an the last one) is enormous... you don't see us saying England or english players suck, and yet you guys...

Woosh!

Seriously though, England have always had good young players. It's just that they never get a good run in the 1st team. Go out on loan to a Championship team or whatever then their development goes down the fucking tubes.

Fixed that for you. There have been some great individuals, but no one actually cares about the England team.

That or they take up a cushy benchwarmer job at big clubs so they neither have to play or perform, and just get paid to make up quotas.

That is happening right now in Spain.

Yup. Seeing Ceballos go to Real Madrid had me completely confused. Their midfield is already dominated in such a way that Isco doesn't even start every game.

Sky Sports reporting Mourinho wants to give Zlatan another contract as last season didn't end well for Zlatan. I don't know how much I believe of it tbh, usually Sky Sports are semi reliable though (or am I majorly wrong here?).

Edit: Seems Zlatan rejected a deal with LA Galaxy.

Also Romero signs a new contract with United. I like the guy so I'm glad.

As long as his game time sticks to the EFL and FA cup.

There was nothing bad about his post though, it was just banter.

I sometimes wonder how sterile the other sports threads must be if those last few posts are considered off topic.

Apparently the Portuguese under 19's team aren't a bunch of nobodies. I'm surprised nobody got upset at me calling it kids' football.

Let's not discuss it here, if you have questions or comments feel free to PM me, a sports mod or xskarma.

If De Gea goes, which seems unlikely but you never know, I wouldn't mind seeing Romero being #1 and played in the PL.

[Cairhiin]

I would love to see him in the premier league, watching Sneijder play almost every weekend would make my life better. He is one of my favourites of all time and one of the first football players I started to follow. Would benefit the national team aswell.

Sneijder has also been linked with the MLS, and Ajax. Right now, there seem to be more rumours than anything substantial. He is pretty close with Mourinho so I guess ManU is a real option. To be honest I'd love to see him come back to Ajax but I think it is still too early. Both Huntelaar and Sneijder in Ajax would be nice.

Heard the news on french outlets this morning and its getting picked up by the rest of the media.

Neymar to PSG for 200 million happening.
Holy shit. I hate PSG so much it defies description.

Neymar wants to win the Ballon d'or.

So he goes to PSG.
When was the last time a player from somewhere else than Spain won the fecking thing?

I'm sure the 30 million a year has nothing to do with it.

Before Ronaldo and Messi were there.

Voycheck Cheznee confirmed to Juve. Didn't play for us for 2 yrs but I'm gonna miss him. He improved a lot at Roma.

[Tommy T]

New contract for The Don.

Best manager in the league.

[sheffield]

i hope this means Ospina is staying.. would be a disaster if Martinez was the 2nd keeper
