Did la Liga make some rule that they have to play a center forward instead of 10 midfielders or something?

Supposedly the first domino that has to fall is Morata to Atleti, which is supposed to happen tomorrow. Then Gonz to Chelsea can happen, and then Piatek to Milan can happen.

They signed him on the four goal come back against Lecce a thousand years ago imo.

Boateng is still really good. He's gonna merk some weak rear end la liga shites.

The Piatek deal is supposed to happen tomorrow. Neither played in today's match, so it's pretty obvious it's going down.

Cardiff's record signing Emiliano Sala may have been on a plane that disappeared on the way from Nantes to Cardiff

https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/breaking-emiliano-sala-missing-plane-13890171

Aside from the obvious tragedy of this if the plane did crash, would Cardiff be able to get their money back? Or is this going to be the worst signing of the season

I think they'd have insurance on the value of his contract at least.

quote:

Fifteen current Premier League clubs have broken their transfer record at least five times since Newcastle last set theirs. Of the other five, Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester United have broken theirs four times, while Fulham have spent more than £16m on four different players, including one from Newcastle.

Manchester United’s transfer record is the second-longest standing, a full 3,996 days after Newcastle signed Michael Owen.

Yeah I'm not that bothered just lol that every other team have broken their records multiple times. I did like this though

quote:

Andriy Shevchenko – £30.8m (AC Milan, May 2006)

Fernando Torres – £50m (Liverpool, January 2011)

Alvaro Morata – £58m (Real Madrid, July 2017)

The three strikers on this list scored 45 goals between them – £3.08m per goal.
