Dude single-handedly killed is in the ‘18 Pokal final. Full on disappears for games at a time otherwise and is a genuine peach in the dressing room (sarcasm). Not sure how this will go but that Haaland money won’t spend itself.
First thing that pops in my head any time I see Götze is the pic (or maybe a video) from his first year at Bayern of him with his supermodel girlfriend at the time, and it legit looked like an eighth-grader that got a celeb to come to his school dance.
It was always assumed they’d be on their way out within the year but this appears to be moving faster than originally thought.
I’m not overly familiar with Boehly’s football background, but the swift transition to him handling everything has some Jerry Jones vibes to me. I’m sure SugarShaun will be blasting this take in 3 years.
Maybe but that’s not the way he’s operated the Dodgers. It’s likely that those two were just too close with Roman’s running of things (Marina was basically Roman’s assistant at Sibneft before moving to Chelsea to be his liaison about a decade ago and Buck was an American lawyer who had worked with Roman in Russia and then worked on the sale of the club in 2003). While Marina did the contract and transfer negotiations, she was not involved in the scouting operation.
Yeah it’s only concerning if he replaces them with amateurs. I’m surprised Granovskaia even tried to stick around.
He’s based in London (and became a Chelsea season ticket holder in the 90s) but worked at Skadden, Arps which is/was knee deep in the Russia/Oligarch world.
I’m assuming chelsea is paying the lukaku fee in installments so even if inter is paying a 10m loan fee that could still mean chelsea is paying inter like 15m net for him to play for inter oopsies
Last few huge money transfers haven’t worked that well but I’m sure liverpools club record signing from a league about as good as mls will be awesome
Newcastle is closing in on signing Nick Pope from Burnley. I imagine he will become the #1 over Dubravka
Tyler Adams being linked with Leeds again after Phil Hay retweeted he was on the short list of guys. Bring on the Leeds United States of America memes.
