It does, Liga Adelante's scheduling is pretty terrible.

Zaragoza winning 3-1 in the first leg of the Liga Adelante playoff final. I have a few good friends in Zaragoza and they are a good historic Spanish team, I hope they get promoted.

You know, for once you can take solace in the fact there's no way Ashley would spend 10m on a player of that stature.

Argentina - Uruguay later tonight. Sucks that Suárez isn't gonna be there.

I love Lineker, he was my first footballing hero. I was devastated when Cruyff sold him and bought some Dane instead.

He only needs to prove he's worth more than €9m, at the end of the day.

According to our press we have a €9m buyback, which is really low if he fulfills his potential at Everton.

I'd probably do the same, but my lass would never have it

Has Ings actually signed for Liverpool though? They may just be considering their options. I can't see them signing both Ings and Austin. Better off pooling the money for a more established goalscorer.

Looks like we've agreed a contract extension with Neymar until 2020, to be signed after Copa América. Great news.

Refused to accept the MVP award from the Argentina - Perú game, which then fell on Nelson Valdez.

Bellerín's sporting a nice gut too.

It's essentially Lim buying players from himself. Don't think the football people at Valencia had much of a say.

All the headlines are painful to read "Don't take de Mick" FFS.

All season?

Van der Vaart signs for Betis. Was hoping he'd go to Cádiz, but I guess that was too much of a stepdown.

Gianelli Imbula on his way there too, no? No, they pulled out and signed Caio instead.

Why did they buy Negredo after him being pretty poor on loan? They were contractually obligated to buy Negredo if they qualified for the CL. All the other players are owned by Lim's and Mendes' investment fund. With FIFA's ban on third party ownership incoming, they had to offload them and Valencia will have to shoulder the price.

Add €30m for Negredo and Valencia are getting totally mugged.

Read something over the weekend saying it's a move to suit his investment group (co-owned by Peter Lim) as much as anything and the Valencia coach had never seen him. Valencia have also bought Rodrigo for €30m, Cancelo for €15m, and Gomes for €15m, who were owned by the same investment group. Shady? Nah.

This month, Valencia have bought Rodrigo, Negredo, Cancelo, André Gomes and Caio. €102,5m on players not even worth half that imho.

He was s*** for Sevilla tbf I think it's a pretty good bet. If they sort him out the upside is incredible.

Don't really want to infuriate you guys, but our press say that Juanmi's move to Southampton is almost finalised.

Deulofeu has had an awful season at Sevilla, and Emery has openly hinted that he really has to change his mentality and dedication. The guy has quite some talent, but he's running out of time.

According to one of our local rags, we have sold Deulofeu to Everton, €6m. We keep a buyback.
