Liverpool spending big on another attacking player.

 

Don't sell us short, we're going to add two.

 

Good old Serie A. Inter beat Lazio, who were 2-1 up with ten minutes left before De Vrij, who's leaving Lazio for Inter, gave away a ridiculous penalty, 3-2.

 

I mean, who didn't see that happening haha?

 

Torres with a double on his final game for Atleti. I am so happy. Great second goal too.

 

:’(

 

Leicester locking up Pereira is a nice move

 

Nainggolan not on the roster is nonsense

 

Look at this shit. Imagine having to pick a midfield from those options - who would you leave out?!?!?!

 

How on earth has Chadli made the squad? He's played 5 times this season...

 

“Tactics”
- Martinez

 

Wonder what really happened here now.

 

Bumping all of these while I sit bored in the dentist parking lot.

 

Imagine not taking Radja. Martinez has no idea.

 

You could argue he was the main influence for the Roma turnaround against Barca. Mental.

 

It seems crazy that he keeps trying to argue that it's a tactical thing. It's so obviously personal. From what I've read, the guy is really versatile and also very good. Even if you can't play him in the system in his best position, surely he's some use as a utility player?

 

You could have a midfield of De Bruyne, Hazard, Nainggolan, Dembele...

 

He’s honestly a like for like switch with Casemiro, almost dirty style and all. That’s how good of a positional player he’s ignoring. Saw him play in person and he held his own against the Iniesta/Rakitic/Busquets midfield at its peak.

 

There's some weird comments about the forwards as well. I've seen a few people suggest that none of the Belgian forwards would get into the England squad. If Lukaku were English, he'd be in without a shadow of a doubt.

 

Mertens has been one of the best forwards in Serie A for like three seasons in a row now, too. I’d take him over Rashford or Welbeck in a hot second.

 

I won't hear a bad word against the Batsman.

 

There's been murmurs about Nainggolan having a bad attitude for a while now, and he's being linked with leaving to go to China. I wonder what's not being said in public.

 

I'll be honest, I've always thought he's someone I probably wouldn't want to meet. I definitely get the vibe he's a bit of a prick.
