To Save La Liga, We Must All Board The Yellow Submarine
The hype for the 2017-18 La Liga season has been decidedly low-key, and for good reason. Is there really any stopping Real Madrid? The club’s loss of Alvaro Morata hasn’t exceptionally weakened them, and capturing Kylian Mbappe would mean that we’re about 20 years away from parity being restored to European competition.
Renato Sanchez Announces Desire To Leave Bayern
Personally, I'm not satisfied with my first year in Bayern. AC Milan is an interesting option, if the opportunity arises and the clubs can agree, I would like to see them. I'm young, I want and I have to play a lot. I think the chance to do so is greater in Milan than in Munich.

Lucas Leiva's Goodbye Liverpool Video Will Melt Your Heart And Break It At The Same Time
Lucas Leiva is gone from Liverpool, the club he called home for 10 years. The Brazilian defensive midfielder's move to Lazio was made official Tuesday, but it had been a done deal for quite a while — judging by the amount of farewell Lucas content Liverpool seemed to have at the ready, that is.
Included was an open letter to Liverpool fans, and this very heartfelt interview:
"Liverpool, as a club and as a city, is a unique place."
Arsene Wenger Convinced Alexis Will Stay
The decision has been made and we will stick to that. The decision is not to sell. I have not spoken to him (since the interview). But I can only reiterate what I have said before (he will not be sold).
Joe Hart Signs For West Ham
What Does Leonardo Bonucci's Move To AC Milan Mean For Serie A?
Say this aloud, very slowly: Juventus sold Leonardo Bonucci to AC Milan. Juventus (the biggest team in Italy and six-time defending champions) sold Leonardo Bonucci (one of the world’s best defenders and a future club captain) to AC Milan (a team rapidly shaping up to be a title rival in the coming season). Juventus. Sold Bonucci. To Milan. For €42 million. That would buy you roughly 70 percent of Kyle Walker. Say it aloud. Repeat it slowly. Juventus sold Bonucci to Milan. And still, it hardly makes any sense.
Manchester City Prove They Have More Money Than Sense With Kyle Walker Deal
Kyle Walker is the most expensive defender ever. Kyle Walker is the most expensive English player ever. Kyle Walker.
I'm sure Pep Guardiola knows what he's doing, really I am, but why on earth would he spend $65 million on English Alberto Moreno? Does Guardiola truly believe Walker is worth that price, or is he, like, trying to challenge himself?
