MC Prussian Posted 6 June 2018 Share Posted 6 June 2018 Santi Cazorla returns home. About to enter pre-season with his youth club Villarreal - I do wish him well and that he recovers fully from that achilles tendon injury. Two, three more seasons in La Liga.

It's believed to be the reason yes but the Japanese domestic league is as strong as they come in Asia and their fans are pretty incredible.

MC Prussian Posted 6 June 2018 Share Posted 6 June 2018 KFC Uerdingen now officially promoted to the 3. Liga in Germany! The DFB has given the green light on Monday evening, even though the club had missed the official deadline to present the financial securities needed for a license. They'll have to play their home games in Duisburg, though. Also, their president and owner, Mikhail Ponomarev (white shirt, obviously), is a Russian millionaire with some shady business dealings - and an AFC Bournemouth connection: Nobody can really tell where the money's coming from. Hope all goes well for Uerdingen in the new division. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MC Prussian Posted 9 June 2018 Share Posted 9 June 2018 Troubles in sight for both Parma FC and Nîmes Olympique - both teams, each promoted to its country's top tier a few weeks ago, are accused of fixing matches. In the case of Parma, the eyes are on two of their players who were in contact with La Spezia opponents by SMS, instructing them to "lift their legs" for the decisive Serie B match that saw the club return to Italy's top flight. Nîmes representatives, meanwhile, face charges of corruption with regards to allegedly fixed matches in the 2013-2014 season, particularly a match between Caen and Nîmes that allowed the Normandy club to gain promotion and prevented Nîmes from being relegated from Ligue 2. The Crocos' upcoming League 1 campaign, the first in 25 years, should not be put in jeopardy by the ruling which is expected in mid-September, anyway.

MC Prussian Posted 13 June 2018 Share Posted 13 June 2018 (edited) PSG need to sell £60m worth of players this summer in order to meet FFP rules. https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/44474415 Who'll be the first to be forced to leave? And which player would serve us well (hypothetically)? Neymar Cavani Di Maria Rabiot Lo Celso Silva Marquinhos Dani Alves Meunier Kurzawa Trapp I'd take Di Maria and/or Lo Celso, plus Kurzawa. Surely it's all about Neymar leaving for Real for £££££££ and they'll be all good again. Edited 13 June 2018 by MC Prussian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StanSP Posted 13 June 2018 Share Posted 13 June 2018 Lo Celso is one of Argentina's up and coming stars. They won't sell him. Could expect Meunier, Kurzawa, Pastore and maybe Di Maria to go. They've still got Krychowiak & Ben Arfa on their books which can contribute to the £60m required... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finnegan Posted 14 June 2018 Share Posted 14 June 2018 (edited) Regards psg, they're a bit like Chelsea. Remember they can probably offload about 30 youngsters at a mil or two each to clubs like Nantes, Lille, Toulouse etc and make quite a lot back at short notice. The idea they'd need some vast asset stripping exercise is probably ott. They knew what they were getting in to with Mbappe and Neymar, I'm sure they've had lawyers and accountants looking at it all year working out a strategy.

They'd rather miss CL for a season. But it's also possibly not optional. Is the purchase mandatory? I thought it was already agreed, they WILL pay as opposed to they have an option to?
