    @African-Monkey I think he did a couple of seasons at both AC Milan and Napoli. Lots of gigs as coach and only one Coppa Italia in terms of silverware.

    I remember he left Fiorentina before ever taking them for a game 😂

    I feel like this appointment will either go really well or be an absolute disaster.

    Feel for Wolves, Ait Nouri about to be at City, Cunha strong rumours at United, they will be hard to replace. Potentially good for teams coming up.

    Wolves looked fine when Cunha was suspended. And now they have a huge war chest to strengthen with 7 Portuguese wonderkids.

    That is the lot of the mid table club. If they buy well they will be fine

    Transfer news has gone quiet now that brief window for the Club World Cup has closed - other than the confirmation of well signaled signings (Wirtz & Kerkez to Liverpool). Bournemouth are sitting on a mound of cash now with the Kerkez & Huijsen money but I haven't heard any rumours of who they are after.

    we bought Truffert as a kerkez replacement, linked with a few others, especially a few wingers, but nothing signed

    likely will stick with the model of buying fit upcoming youngsters than any big names

    Who is likely to be sold by Brighton? Joao Pedro is the only name I have heard so far and I think they may be asking too much for him.

    Oh yeah Chelsea of course for over 50m - 7 year deal plus Chelsea are close to getting Jamie Gittens from Dortmund for 55m which seems a hell of a lot for someone with so little top level football but he is very young and has been playing for Dortmund since he was a kid.

    They always find ways to exploit loopholes in the rules, so I'm sure they'll find a way to pay for him off a different set of books.

    It's very sad, Diogo Jota sounds like a thoroughly decent man by all accounts and it's a tragedy for his family and of course his parents to lose both sons at once.

    Interesting to hear that nobody at Wolves had a bad thing to say about him which can't be said for every ex-player.

    I think what you meant to say was well done for smashing the 2025 juggernaut of PSG ...

    Am obviously very happy, but hard to tell where this ranks on the list of achievements. Behind the League & Champs League for sure.

    Chelsea squad have certainly earned their break this year.. First pre season is 8th August, so I imagine they'll only get two weeks, at most, off.

    Congratulations to Chelsea on winning a Mickey Mouse trophy.

    But I suspect there will be a significant cost for them in November, December and January to only having two weeks off pre-season.

    And Paris St-Germaine and their coach clearly lost their cool and decorum at the post-match trophy awarding ceremony. Maybe they should have gone back to their dressing room instead like the French National Rugby team?

    @MajorRage

    i think it ranks pretty high
    there were about 20 top class programs (and they were all trying) in the comp which is a lot better than any national league
    of the big Euro leagues, the EPL is the only one that is even remotely competitive
    the only comparable comp is the Euro Champions League, with about the same number of top class teams
    roll on the Euro Super League!
    haha

    what would I rather watch: chelsea v flamengo, or liverpool at stoke on a rainy afternoon in the middle of an english winter - no contest
