Player value is a tricky thing to pitch accurately. Often it's length of contract. Diaz has two or three years left so his value remains pretty high. I suspect he goes for north of £60m - might be crazy money but it's partly driven by few...

Do Barca have any money? I know the big Spanish Two always seem to have dough but I think Barca aren't in the best position.

"US president Donald Trump has claimed that the Club World Cup trophy that has featured prominently in the Oval Office will stay there, and that Fifa made a copy of the trophy that was awarded to Chelsea after their win in the tournament’s final...

Why? The PL is a cash cow that provides member clubs with significant financial rewards. Plus, this is always the daft response when their misconception is pointed out to them - pretending that they knew all along. It's illogical that a club...

You want a back up who is dependable and can fill in for stints - Travers isn't half bad.

The Super League would not have seen any team leave the PL - this is a persistent misconception that is always put forward. It would have replaced the CL. Domestic football's pyramid wouldn't have been materially altered.

Maresca gets sacked if they fail to properly compete in the PL and Guardiola only considers first as acceptable. This tournament undermines these managers.

So not the champions of England (nor 2nd place), Spain or Italy (nor second place) - 3 of the top 5 leagues in the world. Surely that undermines the tournament's actual quality. If the CL is undermined by the fact non-champions participate, we...

It'll be interesting how these big sides do come the winter and spring when matches come thick and fast. Preseason starts now and Chelsea and PSG just finished last season.

It's all revenue for the coffers but I think this stuff should be free given how it's basically a glorified training session - goodwill gesture, etc. Seems like a bit of an unnecessary money grab.

7 years ago...wowo...the managers since: Divorced Beheaded Died Divorced Beheaded Survived (for now...)

The Premier League is an invite too - mostly to teams who didn't get relegated plus teams who were promoted. That competition gave up on legitimate competitors decades ago with it now being the plaything of oil states and venture capitalists...

This had World’s Tallest Dwarf vibes.

Not really the point though is it. Lad died in tragic circumstances while still a current player, recently having had the year of his life. It's a fitting tribute to his memory. Not a big deal in the grand scheme of things.
