Not a malefactor just a lagomorph
Roma don't have CL football, I assume if he moved he'd want that?
I remember reading a while ago about the number of African immigrants into France and how many footballers for their national team could have played for African nations. Also about the sheer number of African boys trying to get to France for the chance just at being a footballer and how many find themselves living in really poor environments/on the streets when they don't make it.Who are these great African players he is talking about (who are playing for countries they are not from)?
I'm not sure about now, but Makalele was born in the Democratic Republic of Congo (previously Zaire), Vieira was born in Senegal, Desailly was born in Ghana.Who are these great African players he is talking about (who are playing for countries they are not from)?
If he's talking about "ancestry" then I massively disagree that the likes of Kante or Benzema not being allowed to play for France because of where their parents are from. That's a slippery slope to some very dodgy ideas about who is and isn't "French".I'm not sure about now, but Makalele was born in the Democratic Republic of Congo (previously Zaire), Vieira was born in Senegal, Desailly was born in Ghana.
Maybe he's also referring to players making a move such as Mejbri, 2nd generation immigrant, like Mbappe whose father is from Cameroon and mother from Algiers, or Benezema whose parents are from Algiers. But if you're born and bred in a country it seems more obvious you'd chose to represent it - still, fair play to Mejbri.
Looking at the top talent in Europe, loads of African ancestry there.
Yeah, I 100% agree that the choice should always be theirs, they are from the country they are born in or raised in, of course. But they also have a choice of a country to play for. I don't think FIFA should be involved at all, like he's suggesting.If he's talking about "ancestry" then I massively disagree that the likes of Kante or Benzema not being allowed to play for France because of where their parents are from.

Looks like a brit abroad, 6 pints already drunk at the beach bar and its not even 10am

They'll get another CB too before the window closes.
I love Mourinho ... so grateful he came to my club and changed our mentality from perpetual Ro16 CL losers living in Barca's shadow, to fighting for titles. Sad how it ended but the whole club went up a level, even if we fell short of CL titles. I have no doubt that Carlo & Zizou benefitted from this change in mentality across the team.Are you watching?
I don’t know why we don’t do common sense signings like that. Wijnaldum and Dybala would improve our first XI, belotti would add depth to our attack. All for free as well.Are you watching?

No. Of course not. Why any Manchester United fan could give even a fraction of a feck about this horrible twat and his new club will always be a mystery to me.Are you watching?

Probably still good enough to challenge for the Italian league these days.Wjnaldum - finished
Dybala - flaky
Matic - finished
Celik - average
Svilar - unproven
Zaniolo - knees made of chewing gum
Belotti - Italian Danny Ings
HahahaProbably still good enough to challenge for the Italian league these days.
Very impressive. I’m fairly confident they’ll get 4th and do well in the EL!Good summer for them it seems. Also they have Spinazzola back from long term injury I believe
The expectation must be a top 4 finish and a good EL run.
Those players don't want to play in England, especially Dybala and Belotti. Wijnaldum has already achieved what he did with Liverpool, then played/lived in Paris...now he gets the opportunity to play in Rome for Mourinho?I don’t know why we don’t do common sense signings like that. Wijnaldum and Dybala would improve our first XI, belotti would add depth to our attack. All for free as well.
And he's working within some budget and getting older, but mature players. Jose is a great manager, but he's not everybody's taste...and he does need specific players for his systems.They are allowing Mourinho to unabashedly form his own team and implement his own style.
He's bringing in players with his mentality.
Will win Europa this season and get some more marquee signings in.

Yes, and asked for lindelof during the the encounters for BaillyBelloti is coming too?
They are building a hell of a team that I think can shock many people if they get off too a good start.
Surely Zaniolo starts though ?
