Mohamed Salah is the rising GOAT!

I'm not even a Liverpool fan but this Egyptian nikka is a fukking beast.

Earliest reference to Salah in this forum's history comes from yours truly I knew he would be a star all the way back to the 2012 Olympics.

Exactly. Perez the most insecure owner on the planet, brehs.

This nikka say Madrid can't afford Kane? nikka TOTTENHAM is the club that can't afford him. Dude is HELLA underpaid for his production rate. Madrid can come in and offer him that Pogba money and he's outa there. Especially with Benz, Bale and prolly Kroos out in the summer.

The 2nd richest club on Earth can't afford a mouth-breathing Englishman...FOH these cats is crazy.

Daniel Levy isn't going to cash in on Kane, when they about to go into a new Stadium unless stupid money is being offered. It's not the affording, it's what they willing to part with and making sure they can still rebuild the team. Real aren't going to spend that when they can get much cheap alternatives in Lewandowski and Icardi especially when there is a chance of them getting Neymar also.

Real have dealt with Levy enough to know, that trying to add players to the deal to get the cost down won't work nor will the unsettling tactics because the price won't be lower.

I think he will because he won't have a choice. Stadium builds are a huge resource strain on a club. This isn't so much about the team as it is about the shareholders, and Spurs have a history of letting absurdly talented players go. I think Kane will HAVE to leave at some point...and it'll be soon. And if not Kane, its Alli...if not Alli its Eriksen and so on.

And you take ANY of those players away from Spurs then they aren't a perennial UCL team IMO.

Take Eriksen away and Spurs aren't as good, everyone else barring Kane is replaceable.

I'm not saying Kane won't eventually move on, but Kane isn't being sold this Summer. I reckon Kane gives Spurs 2 more seasons and if they don't win or progress further he'll move on after that.

Everyone else in the squad is fair game, but you also got to realise that there is more prize and TV money now so Spurs aren't in a need to sell like Arsenal were. The prize money the 20th place team gets is like equal to what the Title winners got a decade ago, it may even be more. And Spurs will sell because that's how you run a profitable business and doing transfers turns Levy on.

Everyone knows that Alli and Eriksen will leave before Kane. Kane is the crown jewel of Spurs, he only leaves if he wants too.

any good?

Best keeper this season in Europe outside of maybe DDG.

Alisson probably going to Anfield.

He's said publicly if Madrid want him he's going there.

My gripe with NYCFC is that they have Man City colors and a plain ass team logo

I know they getting some kickbacks from Man City but I look at Atlanta United, or even LAFC and can't help to think NYCFC could've done much much better.

Matthew Wolff is the guy who designed the NYCFC logo. He also did the LAFC one. Designed Nigeria's World Cup collection and I believe he was involved with the new French collection. Man City's colors were heavily inspirational in the coloring of NYCFC. Funny though that his logo would inspired Man City to change theirs.

NEW YORK CITY FOOTBALL CLUB IS THE FIRST MAJOR LEAGUE SOCCER TEAM TO PLAY WITHIN THE FIVE BOROUGHS.
The club was born of the two global sporting giants, Manchester City FC and the New York Yankees, and began play in Major League Soccer in 2015. New York City FC made an instant impact in MLS, signing global superstars David Villa, Frank Lampard, and Andrea Pirlo in the inaugural season. The club plays at Yankee Stadium while searching the five boroughs for a permanent home.

In my two years as the only full-time designer at NYCFC, I was responsible for building the visual identity of this brand. Starting with the badge, I had a hand in just about everything the club produced.

Hoefler & Co, and based on vernacular signage of New York City (Gotham is also a nickname for New York City). The pentagons represent New York City’s five boroughs, and the orange is the exact shade found in the New York City flag.

Melbourne City FC and Manchester City FC.

INAUGURAL SEASON LOGO
The 2015 Inaugural Season logo is inspired by mosaics found throughout New York City’s subway stations. The logo’s primary use was as the jocktag of NYCFC home and away kits during the club’s first season. It also appeared on dozens of pieces of merchandise sold online and at Yankee Stadium.

CAPTAIN’S ARMBAND
The ‘C’ stands both for City and Captain. Colors were voted on by the season ticket holders. (I hoped orange would win).

FANWEAR & APPAREL
Working closely with Adidas, I designed dozens of graphics for apparel — from t-shirts and hoodies, to scarves and hats, to pins and patches. Some pieces were for specific events (such as the World Cup and the Andrea Pirlo signing), while others were for general merchandise.

SEASON TICKET PACKAGING
I had the pleasure of designing the season ticket holder box and all of its contents ahead of the club’s inaugural 2015 season.

The season ticket box opened to reveal a blueprint, suggesting that the founding member season ticket holders provided the plan and foundation for the club’s future. Also included in the box was a scarf with the names of 3,000 season ticket holders, a bracelet, sticker, lanyard, and – of course – the suiteticket books or seasoncards.

Does Monchi make Real pay a record transfer fee for a keeper as a little fukk you. Also Roma are a selling club, so he definitely gone in the summer for the right offer.

If you United you tell Madrid £100m+ for DDG unless there is a gentleman's agreement in place.

Makes zero sense to sell DDG for any amount.

'What the f***, I'm not the king, I'm god': What Zlatan Ibrahimovic told former Paris Saint-Germain team-mate Benjamin Stambouli

Zlatan Ibrahimovic was once hailed the 'king of Paris'. A title he rejected and demanded to be known as 'god'.

That's how highly the former Paris Saint-Germainforward holds himself, and it's a level of self-confidence and arrogance that comes as no surprise.

His larger-than-life personality has established him as one of football's true characters, with his stature both on and off the pitch idolised by supporters across the world.

Former team-mate Benjamin Stambouli has recalled his short spell with the 'crazy' Swedish forward during their time together at Paris Saint-Germain.

Stambouli only spent one season in Ligue 1 with Ibrahimovic before moving onto Schalke and the Bundesliga where he has remained since 2016, but their short time together still seems to have left a sizeable impression.

We were at physiotherapy and news was on TV,' the 27-year-old told Goal. 'Zlatan asked me to translate it because there was something about him on.

'So I explained that they said that Zlatan is the King of Paris. I thought he would be happy about it, because it's great that the people love him so much. But he was different. He was very angry and shouted at me: "What the f***? I'm not the king, I'm god". This guy is totally crazy.'

There’s nothing that could be said about Zlatan that I wouldn’t believe

They'll have no option if DDG wants to leave, which is what it will come down to. Why stay in what is starting to look like a toxic environment. He only stayed because Mourinho was coming in, now he's in, why should he stay, because winning the FA Cup isn't what DDG stayed there to do.
