HAZARD SCORED...

I guess **kanye shrug**

La Liga is once again back in the hands of Atletico. It’s theirs to lose and i honestly don’t want to hear any of our players coming out to talk about how we can ‘theoretically, mathematically, superstitiously, expeditiously’ still win La Liga. Its that time of the year where El Capitan or one of our players usually comes out and says stuff like that. I’m not losing hope though on la liga.

LUKA JOVIC NEWS

There’s all sorts of shady rumors about Luka Jovic ending up in a swap deal for Frankfurt’s Andre Silva or he could end up at Inter Milan as we seem to have contacted Lautaro Martinez/Inter. Hopefully we can try to get him for free like Inter tried to do us with Modric. Inter Milan are one of many clubs struggling to pay players their wages. To make matters worse, they just won the Seria A league title, meaning that they have to fork out extra money in stipulated bonuses to the players. Money they don’t have...

BRAHIM UPDATE:

Brahim scored the opener for AC Milan yesterday, as they went on to beat Juventus 3-0. As it stands, Juventus are on the verge of Europa league or rather missing out all together if they don’t get their act right. I definitely don’t want to see Ronaldo playing Europa League football.

HAKIMI

Bayern are interested in hakimi but hakimi has confirmed that we have the right of first refusal for him.

ICYMI:

We’re still pushing hard for the super league despite UEFA’s death threats. The immediate reactions from yesterday’s draw.
