...and Italian football wonders why it's been left behind. Premier League money attributed the blame, but what about decision making like this? "Nobody could see it coming. Mason was in good shape."
Forgive me if this next post tags weird or what have you, but this is significantly harder to do on my phone than on my work computer, haha.

Quite a few multiple H2H thread matchups in this round.
Vuskovic on the bench the last two games for Croatia. And Brighton have started targeting other CBs. Curious what ends up happening for him. Still hoping things settle down and we just loan him one more time before integrating him next year.
there are a ton of recent Polish immigrants here in Chicago as well as a ton of people with Polish heritage from earlier immigration decades ago this is going to be so cool
I like him but I really, really hope it's not 25m upfront. Hopefully the "deal" part means incentives. Great negotiating by Boro, though @AFoolsGlory End of the fiscal year is Wednesday btw so expect deals to really kick off.
Probably gonna be one of those where Boro will brief the full £25m and Everton will brief something like £15m + add ons, and everyone is happy. Really a deal where it's seems like everyone wins.
Leicester going from title winners to that kind of decline is still one of the strangest football arcs of the last decade.
100%. Remember, this is the club that stuck essentially a full squad of players on the "bomb squad", froze them out of first team operations, made them train with kids. Chelsea have absolutely no right to take the high ground here. If Maresca had lost 5 games in a row, they'd have sacked him in an instant. Loyalty can't just be a one way thing.
I read a piece, which I can't seem to find, describing how desperately unfortunate they were that Vichai died. The action/ownership responsibility is close to non-existent with his son and the club is in a worse position than ever.
