When you look at some of the previous bans for the likes of Trippier, Barton etc he might be out for a very long time.

I suppose it depends what he was betting on etc but 232?

May also explain why this such in-form striker didn't move from Brentford in the summer. No doubt people in the game were aware of his alleged habits.

Experts have provided Harry Kane with pictorial evidence of how long he would need to stay at the club before he wins something.

Ogbonna would literally be a perfect footballer if he looked like that for real.

Ange reminds me of someone - is it Ruud Gullit or Carlos Valderrama?

That's what Jack Wilshere looked like when he stepped out of that washing machine.

On the transfer thread, I was told that Soyuncu's been woeful recently for Leicester. It made me wonder how Wout Faes was doing there? I liked him at Reims, but he was limited in the air at Ligue 1 level so I thought he was unsuited for the Premier League.

Actually, I would be curious to know what you think about players like Kamara, Doucouré or Onana who joined the league this summer.

reports have Messi to Inter Miami and become the highest paid MLS player EVER...

https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/fifa-w ... r-AA14BNs5

BUT...

Though Inter Miami may feel strongly about its chances to lure Messi stateside, the club will have competition. Guillem Balague reports that PSG is also confident that the star forward will re-sign once his current contract with the Ligue 1 club expires next summer.

A report from DirecTV Sports correspondent Álex Candal stated that Messi would be joining Inter Miami upon the expiration of his PSG contract with a deal that would also give him a 35% stake in the MLS club. However, a subsequent report from Le Parisien called the comments “completely false,” while team sources also denied any arrangement to the Miami Herald.



and to be fair, Gullem knows his stuff generally.....

How do you come back from a tournament overweight? Looks like we dodged a bullet with Phillips and this on top of his injury problems

^^^^ Prime development land in the middle of a housing estate. I can't see this ending well for Gillingham. Seems to be mixed emotions from my Gills colleagues.

Some are happy, expecting the new owners to chuck money in to the club, and hope they find a local brownfield site for a new ground, whilst others fear for the club's future now a property developer has bought it.
