| It’s a good thing Spurs have 8 of their top 11 not playing today. Because they look like shit.*

| Romano says Marmoush to Spurs agreed on a loan deal with 50MM pounds option/obligation.
Posted by Carl Spackler
|
| Who are the 8?*
Posted by OB25
|
| It depends if you mean starting or out of the team completely
Posted by snipes824
|
| Yeah I may have taken some liberties with Marmoush and Savinho.

| It feels like they made a move to prevent the fan base from absolutely imploding

| you've got minnesota and austin for 2 of the next 3, so hopefully you'll stop the slide.

| Top 10. Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, City, Spurs, United, Villa, BHA, Everton, Brentford.
Posted by MC
|
| You are massively overrating Chelsea. I got them 5th. *
Posted by londoner

| Interested to see Liverpool’s innovative “all left wingers” offense
Posted by DT
|
| Fulham relegated*
Posted by Poldark "The only thing the DSA hates more than Republicans is Democrats."
|
| Nah they’ll fire Arebola in time to save it. The new teams are not good.
Posted by MC
|
| One thing Spurs have going for them is no Europe.
Posted by Carl Spackler
|
| Agreed. Big plus for Chelsea and Spurs. *
Posted by MC
|
| If Arsenal don’t win the league again something went terribly wrong.
Posted by MC
|
| Nah, they’re favorites but it’s not like they’re -300 to win it.
Posted by Carl Spackler
|
| Less about Arsenal and more that there’s not a single other first rate team
Posted by DT
|
| Exactly this. City losing Pep, Rodri, and Bernardo. That will be felt heavily.
Posted by MC
|
| They’re very quick to fire in the PL

| The Athletic: City has authorized a sale of Savinho and Marmoush to Tottenham if Spurs pay up.
Posted by ATL
|
| Savinho to Spurs for £75MM + add ons. Spurs are paying just insane prices this window.
Posted by Carl Spackler
|
| Savinho needs to watch out for Omar*
Posted by VIV
|
| Omar comin!*
Posted by ISeeDeadHawkeyes
|
| no? nobody?*
Posted by VIV
|
| I got it but wasn't sure if you were also implying Marmoush would steal Savinho's minutes.*
Posted by Carl Spackler
|
| no, pure baltimore goodness*

| Seeing there may be some funny business here by City…

| Would be a hell of a window to close it out with that*
Posted by snipes824
|
| I may need to pick up one of these....
Posted by KingTalkyTiki
|
| Spurs sell Djed Spence for 27MM pounds, Cuti Romero for 34MM pounds.
Posted by Carl Spackler
|
| European clubs outside England are poor unfortunately
Posted by snipes824
|
| Then sell them to English clubs for better prices. Including Arsenal.
Posted by Carl Spackler
|
| I think they’d sell him to any club in England other than the scum
Posted by ATL
|
| Spence is an interesting case. I rate him and think he could have been great under Dezerbi

Posted by SurfTheBoneyard “Surf is just a national treasure.” — Jackie

| I have accepted that Trump will likely never get what's coming to him
Posted by Sounder
|
| But FIFA is denying it so who to believe?!?!
Posted by ATL
|
| Doesn’t matter anyway.

| He could always guarantee another World Cup in 2038*
Posted by Sounder

| Trump doesn’t care. He won’t be around for it.*

Posted by ATL
|
| Wow, definitely thought there was slim chance on him staying.
Posted by Carl Spackler
|
| Same. Thought there was no chance. Pretty great outcome for us*
Posted by snipes824

Posted by Sounder
|
| Think he likes the money.*
Posted by Carl Spackler

|
| Nice espn.com piece on why Infantino's plan made no sense
Posted by Potomac
|
| I think it's pretty clear that Infantino considers people like Trump, Putin, and various Arab Sheiks
Posted by ATL
|
| The Qatar and Saudi awards must have benefited him personally
Posted by Potomac
|
| Guardian reporting that Infantino was already in trouble due to the Balugon incident
Posted by ATL
|
| There was nothing more predictable than the balogun thing being terrible for everyone involved
Posted by snipes824
|
| Except Trump.
Posted by SurfTheBoneyard “Surf is just a national treasure.” — Jackie
|
| Spurs beat Chelsea with only 10 men in a very important match
Posted by ATL
|
| Infantino proposal dead. His tenure as head of FIFA might be dead next.*
Posted by SurfTheBoneyard “Surf is just a national treasure.” — Jackie
|
| So was the proposed sale just a pure corruption play?
Posted by DT
|
| Times reporting he was to get a $30m salary plus bonuses from the venture.
Posted by SurfTheBoneyard “Surf is just a national treasure.” — Jackie
|
| Overplayed his hand for sure*

| Cozying up to Trump can't help him now.*

Posted by CWR10
|
| Based on recent performance, my guess is Europe*
Posted by ATL
|
| UEFA votes unanimously to boycott FIFA competitions over Private Equity plan *
Posted by ATL
|
| CONCACAF also rejects unanimously but stops short of boycott.*
Posted by SurfTheBoneyard “Surf is just a national treasure.” — Jackie
|
| Add in Asia's (AFC's) rejection on Friday, and that's a majority*

| USMNT trying to retain Poch
Posted by ATL A deal between U.S. Soccer and Mauricio Pochettino to continue as U.S. men’s national team head coach is “close” but not quite done, as talks between the two parties have continued and progressed, multiple sources tell The Athletic.

| IFAB: Embolo red card should not have been given (the Athletic)
