Essential The Official Football (Soccer) Thread - We are SO back, the Premier League returns!

Spain need money, B. Basically it's for 1 of 2 reasons. They want to compete with the PL, so they want that Saudi money, to invest in the smaller teams. As they have absolutely no chance of owning Real or Barca.

Secondly, the cynic in me, wouldn't be surprised if Spanish Contractors (they already worked on multi billion dollar refineries out there) where to be awarded some contracts in the near future. Do the Saudi government a good turn and await the hand outs.

La Liga - Messi is currently 1st in goals scored (19), 1st in assists (9), 1st in dribbles (5.8), 2nd in key passes (2.9), has most MotM (15) and best rating (8.90).

Too good for Ballon d'Or unfortunately

I read a reddit post. Apparently, Jamaica is his only realistic option.

Was really hoping we’d bring him back as a veteran presence with Oliveira gone, but the potential negative backlash from his rape case scared a lot of clubs away. I doubt it’ll be as big of a deal for a mid-level Turkish club.

The official line they're both towing is because the Saudis want their players to gain experience in Europe for he World Cup.

Rafinha to Inter in a loan-to-buy deal
Mkhi to Arsenal
Alexis to United (£490K a week salary )

All official.

 

[BigMan]

Damn I used to like rafinha

But now he’s an opp

 

[phillycavsfan]

Hoping with Rafinha going to Inter Liverpool will hurry up and send Sturridge to Sevilla. Let my man get some minutes elsewhere so he can play this summer.

 

[dappadonna]

Tottenham need to go ahead and sign that Malcolm breh , for the culture...

..or we're not a serious club like that
