  1. Wateru saying - he is at the endo his usefulness?
  2. He appears to have misunderstood what Gag order means.
  3. Did you say "You look taller on TV?"
  4. This was today: World football's governing body FIFA should lose a European Union court dispute over player transfer rules, a legal adviser to the EU's top court said Tuesday. Advocate General Maciej Szpunar said that FIFA's rules – which make it harder for players to move to another team – may restrict players' EU right to move across the bloc. While judges don't have to follow the court aide's recommendations in their final ruling, they often do. Under FIFA's rules, players may have to pay football clubs compensation when their contracts are terminated without "just cause" and any team they sign with is also liable to pay up. The Court of Justice is ruling on a dispute from an unidentified professional player based in Paris whose contract at Russian football club Lokomotiv Moscow was terminated after one year over an alleged breach of its terms. The player challenged the decision in court in Belgium after a potential deal with Belgium's Sporting du Pays de Charleroi fell through because of the FIFA rules. He is seeking €6 million in damages and loss of income. The EU court must rule on points of EU law to advise Belgian judges who will handle the final decision. "There can be little doubt as to the restrictive nature" of FIFA's regulation on the status and transfer of players, Szpunar said in his opinion. "By their very nature, the contested provisions limit the possibility for players to switch clubs and, conversely, for (new) clubs to hire players, in a situation where a player has terminated his or her contract without just cause," he said. "The contested provisions, by limiting clubs’ ability to recruit players, necessarily affect competition between clubs on the market for the acquisition of professional players," he said.
  5. Good point this - it's multiplied by the fact that the top players we are looking for are invariably playing in the best sides in these leagues.
  6. Unfortunately the college protests have now veered into the territory that led to folks abandoning support for the BLM protests.
  7. Seems like the club got caught in two minds about how to approach play without Firmino. Ended up with a poor mans false nine and a rich mans bum nine.
  8. Ah, I just had a look at this season - he looks to have played there once - they got another fella at LB methinks.
  9. Out where - my 3 minute research shows this lad in the middle.
  10. That's way above my paygrade and would think alot will be down to his performances in any of those spots.
  11. I don't think we will see Trent as a RB next season. Imo if Mo stays and the team is going to be effective he moves infield.
  12. The stuff I've read / watched say he tucks both full backs in narrow and it's the two wingers who stay wide to get 1v1s with the full back. My 3 minute research confirms this. Is Henderson injured? Guy doesn't even make the bench for Ajax.
  13. Love me some Joe but maybe more like the player Gomez could have been without the injuries. Better going forward as well. Pretty short memories on the overall opinions of Gomez' quality and availability here tbh.
  14. Either way he has to fix up the defense.
