Davies goes over in January right? It’s possible he gets there and one or more of their prominent attackers are injured and he’ll get time. Robben/ribery are getting up there. Idk how much Gnabry has progressed so I can’t speak on him.

Smh. Ibrahimovic really had no business wasting his prime in Paris. That man would've eaten the EPL for breakfast lunch dinner and a small snack :snoop:

Watching his highlights as a 34 yo in the EPL and I'm wondering why he went so late
Thats funny cus I was just thinking about when he was actually at his best since he has played at top level for so long and at so many different clubs. I would say he was at his peak at his last two seasons at Inter. Maybe not efficiency wise but he was crazy to watch

His peak imo was from Ac Milan to the end of his PSG run. Should've really moved to the EPL after A.C. Milan. Would've easily filled that number 3 spot until Neymar came

Authorities in Baghdad International Airport have detained twelve Iraqi U-17 players for attempting to travel with forged documents. The team was travelling to Jordan in order to participate in the U-17 WAFF Championship, of which Iraq are the defending champions. The move to detain players has sent shockwaves across the Iraqi sporting scene, and fans and journalists alike have been protesting the use of alleged overage players in the upcoming Asian Games in Indonesia.

ManU would be a tragic downgrade for him. Lets be reality, ManU name don't hold weight like it did when Fergie was around. Only teams I can see him going to are Madrid or Barca...and he ain't going to Barca.

If sir alex ain't the goat manager than idk who is. He won the league in his last season with players like Jonny evans, phil jones, cleverly, ashley young and welbeck as starters :wow:

There's so much criticism of Mourinho in the media that I don't think is warranted. You can't expect his side to topple Man City straight away, they were superior to Man United before he even took over. And no matter what you say about the money that's been spent since Mourinho's arrival, they still have terrible full backs. Can't win the league with Ashley Young as a starter unless you're Ferguson and you're playing him as a winger not a full back.

United and City finish with the same points the season before Pep and Mourinho took over though. City just had a better goal differential. Pep did what he had to do by buying the right players that suit his system. All Jose did was go for big names and tried to stick them all on the field. So not only does Pep have a clear idea of how he wants his team to play, he's better at observing talent and getting the best out of them. Martial in his debut season score 17 goals and 11 assists and was highly touted as one of the best new thing. It was Mourinho's responsibility to build on that.
