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 credible alternatives for Bayern. Is there better out...

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 on Sunday." Awww...that's nice. Feeling warm and...

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 would step away from a domestic league. Have you...

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 have just witnessed a tournament that didn't include...

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. It has a mixed standard with some teams stinking...

This had World’s Tallest Dwarf vibes.

I’m pretty sure kids can wear the No20 when they buy a kit with his name on as well. Adults can also do this. The players who Liverpool sign would - I would imagine - be very uncomfortable wearing No20 regardless if they were Portuguese or not. Who’d want that added burden? Given it was...

Excited to see the new place full on a proper match day.

This is just glib virtue signalling at a time when it’s not needed. Suffering happens everywhere and every day but that doesn’t disqualify outward demonstrations of sorrow and grief for public figures who were benignly forging a great career and respected by millions around the world. Your point...

I think Bellingham is a better player than Foden if we’re talking current ‘top talent’

I think Brentford, Bournemouth and Brighton are very well-run. Brighton's trading over the past few years has been incredible with massive profits that sees them able to spend big and finish top half. Bournemouth also have great recruitment and have sold well - about to sell Kerkez for good...

Seems like a good way to torch your reputation
