Guess he can continue his role as assistant to Joyce if he wants. But we don't have the U19 CL this season so that might be a issue as he took charge there. Maybe we will enter other competitions like the Dallas cup before and he can take charge of that.

But if he is willing to take any role as he says, then he'll probably stay.

Is he good ? Haven't seen much but they first had a bid of 6.25 million rejected apparently.
 

AS: Atletico Madrid will sign Benfica goalkeeper Jan Oblak for a million less than his €16m release clause to avoid extra tax.

Completely serious, he is getting old and it was very apparent the last 1-2 seasons with Barcelona. To fit him into the team we would have to completely change the style and formation and I'm not sure we have the personnel to play in a system that would get the best out of Xavi. I am of the opinion that completely changing a team to get the max out of a player on the decline for two years or so is a mistake, I would rather build for the future.

I am not saying he is not good enough by any means, despite getting older. He is by far better than anything we have or anything in the league I just don't think it would be a great move for the team as a whole. Your post is condescending which is a bit odd as you probably don't know much about the Sounders or the system they play so to assume you would know better than someone that watches almost every one of their matches is ridiculous.

It would be akin to trying to stick a big powerful midfielder that is not very good technically in for Barcelona at the height of their tiki-taka football, it doesn't mean that player is not good enough it just means he is not a good fit for that system. Surely you can understand that?

It's Seattle fecking Sounders and Xavi. It was deliberately condescending.
 

L'Equipe: Lyon have joined Roma and Liverpool in the race to sign Seattle Sounders defender DeAndre Yedlin. Costs €2.5m.
 

Voetbal: Feyenoord have rejected an initial €6million bid from Newcastle for full-back Darryl Janmaat.
 

Ed Woodward and Beppe Marotta finalised Evra transfer through an email exchange yesterday. [GdS]
 
I am not even fully convinced about our interest in Di Maria tbh. And i see him being a Mendes client going to Monaco more than PSG possibly who would be waiting for FFP stuff.

This all is right now coming from Madrid's end who have decided that they are gonna sell him and buy the new shiny toy in James Rodriguez.


And Sky Italia except for Di Marzio make shit up.
 
I wont be posting anything from Metro again

There is nothing in Marca today about Di Maria agreeing terms with Manchester United. This is getting silly from the Metro now.

Yes, he will resume his normal role. Phil's future is up in the air.

What?! He's gonna be a Pilot or an Astronaut?? :eek:

Either way, his future wont be in commentary thats for sure. What an atrocious decision by the BBC to get him signed up. Never heard anything as boring as that lad in all my life. It doesnt bare thinkin about his coaching abilities & how he gets his message across in training.

Not to mention him insisting in being referred to as "Philip" instead of "Phil" to gain more respect. What a muppet :lol:
 
All of these newspapers are just as bad as eachother, maybe for the exception of The Guardian, The Independent and anything written by Ducker for The Times, Mitten for MEN or Ogden for The Telegraph.
 
Can't seem to get the tweet in here but interesting tease tweet from girl called Natasha Turk. Seems to know her stuff. Said this...

@natashaturk: Season in season out I get irrationally excited about player signings only to be crushingly disappointed for the most part....HOWEVER....

Some Journos in different papers are more reliable for different clubs.

Really Daily Star and Express are the most constant bullshitters without any such. Add in Metro.

I have no idea what the BBC's criteria is for a football pundit. It's like they've hand-picked the worst panel possible. The only one worth listening to during the WC was Martin O'Neill. The RTE panel is miles better, and that's saying sumthin'. At least they're amusing at the worst of times. Dumphy, however opposing his opinions are, is very intelligent.

O'Neill was on ITV. Rio, Seedorf and Henry were good. Gary Lineker is good, better than watching Adrian Chiles touching Fabio Cannavaro on the leg every five minutes.
