What about this guy? Filipe Celikkaya. Worked under Amorim at Sporting. Was in charge of their B side where he helped develop Fatawu. Now wants to be a no.1. Probably be dirt cheap too. https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11095/13140221/filipe-celikkaya-interview-ruben-amorim-will-succeed-anywhere-says-sporting-b-coach-now-striking-out-on-his-own

https://www.leicestermercury.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/leicester-city-not-sign-ademola-8063986 Brendan Rodgers said after City’s first game of the season at home to Brentford, for which Barnes was injured: “I would have loved to have signed Ademola who was great here last season and got over 10 goals and assists. But we weren’t able to do that.” Asked last autumn if City would have been able to sign Lookman after the sale of Wesley Fofana, had he not already moved to Italy, the manager said: “We could never guarantee that. I think if we were getting in anyone it was only on loan, and then it didn’t happen. Unfortunately it was a deal we couldn’t do.”

Kept Cagliari up this season and their top goalscorer netted just 5 goals. The man is a managerial genius.

It's not like we've been a much better run club the last few years. I could see Enzo being tempted if Chelsea make an approach.

Maddison will only play, at best, a handful of minutes at the Euros, unless the 4/5 better players that are ahead of him in the pecking order eat a dodgy lasagne and are struck down with the two-bob-bits.

Probably not the best ever first goal. But still good, and at the Kop end, and to beat Derby...

Was pretty obvious about 6 months ago that the club were trying to avoid triggering the obligation-to-buy clause.

The most ironically funny ad on TV at the moment is the Hellmann's one with Grealish leaning over a garden fence telling someone to "raise your game".

Forget Reddit and Joe Rogan. This is the boxing debate to end all boxing debates...

F1 grand prix was crap. Final day of the PL was crap. So I'm hoping for a 6-way playoff in this to at least give some drama to the day.

Equalled that Derby team's PL record worst goal difference of -69.

And yet we still won't win because Mr Bean is managing them.

Poor Sky. All that hype and build up and the nation switches their TVs off at 4:05.

Think I'll watch up until Man City go 3-0 up after 25 minutes.

Didn't really do enough to impress at Stoke. Simple as that really. Very low save% at 61% and had a PSxG of -2.4. Could see maybe Preston coming back in for him as he still has a pretty good rep there.

Ramón Mierez. Argentinean striker, 27, top scorer in Croatian HNL with Osijek. Surname looks and sounds like Mahrez. What's not to like?

Tbf it must be new year in some ancient civilisation's calendar. Although the easiest explanation is that he has severe CTE.

Kramaric with a 19 minute hat-trick to help Hoffenheim come from 1-2 down to beat Bayern 4-2.

Absolute garbage. Can't even do the basics. Makes you wonder what they do in training all week. A once promising season fizzles out completely.

That leg is just ******. Even if he puts in one decent round, he just can't maintain it for 4 days.

“The best team of the four in the play-offs is West Brom," says Mark Lawrenson. "They went to Leicester and absolutely mullered them so I'm going for a real outsider and I think West Brom might nick it [promotion]. @Mark 'expert' Lawrenson

And both barely even looked like scoring.

Tiger with 2 triple bogeys in 3 holes. Time he retired I reckon.

This is dull.
