If youth success was a guarantee for future international success, Naija will be the GOAT national team

Best example of youth integration into National team i remember was the Ghana 2010 WC squad. Took a lot of the 2009 u20 WC squad, and almost got to the semifinals

He's definitely gone if they sign Lo Celso.

Out
Xhaka

Cech
Elneny

Sorry to be the buzzkill, but it don't always work out like that.



Now the channels for these guys to get to Europe and develop further are better than 12 years ago, but U20 success is no quarantee of senior NT status.

Sidenote: I thought Szetela was gonna be a beast. He couldn't even survive in MLS.

If it was then Nigeria would have a couple world cup wins by now

That kid Luka jovic has some crazy goals. RM is going to be fun to watch.

 

[Ukbrotha]

PSG confirm Buffon is out after just one season.

Looks like they're coming hard for DDG.

If this happened I’d become a Man U super fan over night :titesmile:

While managers like Pep try to get rid of any bad influences when they take over. Maradona would be the bad influence. Dude would have Chong and those other young boys zooted before every game.

For the fukkery alone it would be fun to have him be the Man U coach, but what makes him think he'd bring them trophies? As a coach so far has he ever won anything? His win % as a coach is only 45.6%.



Now that I think of it lets get this man the job ASAP. All that money and press would be entertaining.

Ronaldo still got it. Still holding it down for the 85 babies.

Are Chelsea allowed to sign loan players during this transfer ban?

How would y'all feel about a Hazard for cash + Bale transfer?

I felt that the Swiss #9 leg clipped Semedo, instead of Semedo impeding his momentum.

 

[Lakerman0834]

soft PK. VAR is trash if the ref is trash

Klopp needs to make Shaqiri wear his Swiss kit underneath next season.

no loans allowed either, and any PL club would be insane to sign Bale with his injury issues.
