It really does, but now we have yet another player with controversies behind him...

Not as controversial, but we've got Costa.

Oh, has he bitten other players three times and also been in trouble for racism?

Now it's official..

Dunno if I should be happy or not...

Neymar, Messi and Suarez sounds incredible.

I agree...
Having these 3 players in the same team is almost surreal to be honest.

Milan signed Menez & Alex...

I read about it yesterday.
I like Shaqiri... It'd be great if Roma make it happen.

I think letting Valdes and Xavi go was the best thing they've done tbh

Why?

Why?

Valdes doesn't deserve a club such as Barcelona. He's more of a "middle of the league club" type of goalkeeper.
Xavi is getting old, and he kinda lost his touch too.

Why?

They're old, they talk a lot and they think they're bigger than everything.

So basically like half of Real Madrid

There's no reason to be hurt, my Paki friend.

It was meant in a humoristic way with a serious undertone

[Francesco]

I think Suarez is gonna keep it calm for a while after he comes back.
The one good thing about him been controversial is that he only loses his cool during games unlike the ones like Balotelli who not only do that but fuck up the atmosphere in their own teams as well.

Bayern want Man City target Benatia
Manchester City have apparently given up on Mehdi Benatia, but the Roma defender is now close to Bayern Munich.
The Moroccan international has been training separately from his teammates in pre-season, as he was determined to push through a transfer to Manchester City.
According to today’s reports, the Citizens have veered off in another direction and look set to spend £30m (€38m) on Eliaquim Mangala from Porto instead.
However, Roma are still not out of the woods, as Calciomercato.com now claims Bayern Munich have dived in for Benatia.
Director Walter Sabatini set a deadline of July 21 for Benatia to find another club or commit to remaining with the Giallorossi.
His price-tag is believed to be around €35m (£30m).

Good for them, they surely do need someone like him.

Hopefully he'd be able to adapt to United's style. It's usually kinda hard for South American players to adapt to that style... Some great players like Veron, Forlan & Kleberson couldn't do it.
