KARIM...(not benzema) ADEYEMI

We’re reportedly eyeing Karim Adeyemi, having already met with his representatives. The forward is having a decent season at Salzburg with 14 goals and 2 assists. but it’s best to let him keep developing some more.

GARETH BALE RETURNS TO TRAINING

NOBODY HAS ANSWERED MY QUESTION YET

Who lied and told the world that Mo Salah is the best player in the world??? i’m assuming its the Spinnazola Tax that’s kicking in, coupled with the hefty PL tax too. Anyways, lewandowski is expected to grab his first ballon d’or (should’ve been his second if france football didn’t cancel on him last year) and all this early season hype be done away with.

ICYMI:

Tracking the rise of Vinicius by Mehedi. Don’t forget our Mailbag with Kiyan. More stadium renovations to increase future revenue.
