Costa getting loaned to Everton :ehh:

If Arsenal ain't careful Everton will pass them. They already got a better manager.

BTW all 3 of the most expensive African footballers are Liverpool players. Mane, Salah, and now Keita.

If that was the standard all these street/futsal footballers would be a norm in high professional level football. He is NOT better than Neymar right now but has the potential. Even with that transfer fee it's unfair for people to expect him to be Neymar in year 1.
juggling like those dudes on the basketball courts with dribbling tricks or trick dunker it looks good but in an organized game useless

How many dudes from the And1 circuit made it to the NBA? (Only one I can think of is Raefer Alston). Dembele dribbles to eliminate defenders so it is effective he doesn't do it just to do it

Gabigol to Benfica imminently

Inter forward Gabriel ‘Gabigol’ Barbosa is heading to Benfica on loan with the Portuguese club paying all of his wages.

The Brazilian was signed from Santos a year ago for €29.5m, but didn’t make a single Serie A start.

He was in advanced negotiations for a loan to Sporting CP, but they wanted Inter to shoulder his salary, paying only for his car and accommodation.

According to Sky Sport Italia, a deal has been reached between Inter and Benfica to loan Gabigol for one season.

Benfica will pay the full salary during his stay in Lisbon and there is no option to buy.

Benfica stepped in with the last minute swerve :whew:
