Just purge the entire administration system and replace it with ex-players, managers, and coaches that love the game itself and are willing to lead it out of this era. Enough with the career bureaucrats.

The DOJ has >90% conviction rate on white collar crime. No way they take on multiple executives of one of the world's highest profile organizations unless they believe it is a near-slam dunk. They accepted all of that bribe money, just to hand it over to high-profile lawyers that can't even keep them out of prison.

Lol I was thinking that, but how embarrassing would that be to essentially admit that Mangala was a flop of epic proportions.

City have already announced that they intend to sign a homegrown player to replace their outgoing ones. You'd have to think Sterling is at the top of their list.

Goal of the season for me was Ivanovic's off the Cahill flick from JT's cross. It was what I imagine watching the birth of a child is like.

Bale. Because he's homegrown, proven, and Jose can get the two-way player out of him. The guy can run for days and has experience as a defender, Jose would make him world class.

Godin wouldn't make sense. Buying a 30 year old at what is likely his peak value when we have a top young CB? No thanks.

Have a little faith, baby

The Blues are scheduled to play in NJ, North Carolina, and D.C. if anyone is interested.

Keepers get a different set of rules...as we saw when Courtois got the fk with little/no contact.

Yeah, I saw an interview with Didier where he said that his son wants to represent England as well. Must be fairly good for his age if that's even a discussion.

Honestly think Schuerrle was dealing with depression from all of Jose's tiptoeing around his form and illness. Probably best that we did what was best for his wellbeing, if that was the case. I still have faith that Cuadrado can get to Willian's level and provide some goals though.

I'm always confident that Chelsea will find a way. Even in Munich, I knew we would win. It just felt like destiny from the Napoli 2nd match. WC matches on the other hand, make me pace back and forth.

This. Every time Draxler gets brought up, I cringe. He is overrated and way overvalued. Has all of the same problems as Oscar, but without the high workrate. They both have the potential to be very good, but Oscar is better right now, fits our system, isn't injury-prone like Draxler, and is already signed to a long-term deal. Schalke is Draxler's level imo

If hot weather makes Oscar play better, then he'll score 10 goals if CFC comes to Dallas.
