Wonder how Ronaldo feels, stuck in the desert and hiker Messi is in Miami.

 

Ronaldo has all the money he needs, and Messi might get a load of extra US endorsements to close the financial gap anyway

Ronaldo might win the financial battle but Messi won the war in Qatar. For someone already richer than Croesus, the fact he’ll never have a World Cup must rankle with him, particularly with some of those Portugal teams in the mid-00s.

Anddddd that’s why you do it. 

 

Cba to check but also shows the global appeal of the NBA. I presume they have much higher follower counts than those other leagues.

I really like Rice, but there's nothing about him going to Arsenal that makes me think it'll hugely elevate them tbh, unless his game or their game changes.

 

Not sure there, think he's a massive upgrade on Partey and Xhaka. Might have pushed Man City a little bit closer with Rice particularly in the run-in when they were blowing leads.

If he takes the Xhaka role that's quite an upgrade. I know Xhaka had a good season but with Rice there you'd expect that kind of quality to be repeated year on year.

Think for us and Arsenal that 'overachieved' you probably have to spend that £150/200m in the summer just to not fall behind before even think about closing the gap. Think both could improve their squads quite a bit and it will still be a real challenge to match last season.

Canny wordy, mind. I'm a big fan of the Gordon song to Voulez Vous. 

 

If it hadn't already been used for Mane and Bernardo Silva maybe.

Genuinely can't see anything remarkable about Rice. I just don't get it.

 

He's clearly not shit, but I don't think he's anywhere near - not will be - at the elite level.

Mr Talbot seems to have got himself a source at Liverpool:

 

"Understand personal terms have been verbally agreed between Liverpool and OGC Nice midfielder Khephren Thuram.

 

The Frenchman, who has been on Liverpool’s radar since January, had been in advanced talks with the Premier League club over a proposed move, as we revealed, and now the two clubs have agreed a deal in principle, multiple sources tell us."

If they get Kone too, that's some haul of midfielders.

Zero ceiling there apparently. Unlike us who have been handicapped by a set of financial handcuffs imposed by the most privileged clubs of the last 40 years.

No reason to believe Talbot's reliable yet is there? Haven't seen anything that he's uniquely talked about end up happening 

Quite the opposite, he’s wrong about most things. (Probably be right about this because I don’t want him to be).
