I also think that they are going to have problems with the financial Fairplay.
Spending so much money on a single player would be a huge mistake. They will have to sell a lot of players to gather the same amount that will be spent on Neymar.

Neymar's saga continues.

Reported from Onefootball "the negotiation with Barca and PSG are not over according to Neymar Senior, at Barca he was happy"

Also, Javier Bordas, (dirigent at Barca) is not closing the door for the comeback.

"Everything is possible but Neymar is different, is an extraordinary player he wanted to come to Barcelona and going to PSG was a mistake, he said it".

They talk to a possible transfer for January but I can't see how.

The new financial year will start in July and if Barca did not have the money in August he could hardly have in January, in the middle of the fiscal year.

I'm of the opinion that even with a relatively good result Man Utd most likely would still part ways with Solksjaer, That's inline with what tomahawk highlighted that an average result (qualifying for second round of CL and maybe a top 4 finish) could secure Lampard till the start of another season, I doubt finishing 4th in the EPL would be enough for Solkjaer.

^  You can't rule out how fickle the mad Russian is tho.  The United board on the other hand is more willing to stick with their manager as shown with Mou.  And it's not in United's cuture to change managers on a whim.  Chelsea has found some success by doing it under Abramovich's ownership.

Solksjaer is getting the sack before the end of the season, I’m sure of it. He has no experience of winning stuff in management. The advantage Lampard has is that he’s only just gone there. Solksjaer has been drunk at the wheel since last season & it’s not getting any better. I dunno how long the Man Utd board will accept his mediocrity.

He handed in his resignation following the defeat to Armenia but the board didn't approve it. Yesterday the official announcement came that he remains the team manager of Bosnia so nothing changes. From what I could read the main problem of the Bosnian FA is of financial nature. The monthly salary of the team manager is so low no respected coach will accept such conditions.

It's hard to say, especially right now when both teams have had terrible starts, but towards the end of the year, if things don't improve, I can see Lampard getting the sack first. I think the fact that Chelsea are competing in the Champions League will be play a huge role if he can't get the team to play the way he wants and get good results in both competitions.

If you couldn't win against Leicester and Sheffield United, and you barely won against a recently promoted team like Norwich, how the hell are you supposed to beat Lille, Valencia, and Ajax? Chelsea's next 3 games are vs: Wolves, Valencia, Liverpool. I think we can all agree that this current Chelsea could struggle A LOT against these 3 teams, i could be wrong because this is football and anything can happen, but 3 straight lossess there and i could see Abramovich starting to lose his patience. Sure, the transfer ban was a huge blow, but you brought Lampard thinking he could get you good results (fighting for the top 4 and advancing to the next round in the CL) despite not being able to sign new players...At least that's what i want to believe.

About Solskjaer, I think the Man Utd board will be less "harsh" on him if things don't work out in the short-term. They didn't spend much money in the last transfer window even though they let two great players go (Alexis and Lukaku), Solskjaer and his boys will be playing only once a week so plenty of time to keep working on the tactics and whatnot. Plus, I rate Solskjaer higher in terms of quality as a manager (my own opinion so you can discard this item lol)

Yup.  Should be good to anticipate (got a bet vs DeathAngel).

Anyway, with everything as they are right now, who do you think is gonna get the sack first...  Lampard or Solksjaer?

Agree here, Bosnia/Herzegovina one of the (negative) surprises alongside Scotland, Portugal, Greece and Serbia. "It´s ain´t over before the fat lady sings" but the results so far give a hint on how they won´t participate or may struggle qualifying for Euro next year.

And once again a hard battle between Iceland and Turkey for a ticket.

Bosnia is in a similar situation like Greece.
They have a lot of skilled players but they seem inefficient to handle the matches.
I wonder in which team will Prosinecki going to sign now. He will probably wait till the start of the winter transfer window.

Bosnia and Herzegovina team manager Robert Prosinecki (ex Croatian International) has resigned as coach of Bosnia following the teams 4:2 loss to Armenia a few nights ago. Looking at the table Bosnia will find it hard to qualify as they are currently at the 4th place after Italy, Finland and Armenia with 11 points behind the 1st placed Italians.

Yeah just enjoy the gameplay LFC, don’t get offended by your teams players ratings. Besides you just won the biggest trophy in European club football (for real - Not on a console).

Well, that is the issue. There is no instant success.


Don't let rankings bother you that much, especially if it's just a result of polling and something like that.

Just enjoy the football.

Yeah I’ve seen the rankings, why the hell is Firmino’s ranking that low? He’s a brilliant player but has the same rating as Dries fucking Mertens?

in my opinion, although the league has only been running for a few weeks with MU squad at this time should be able to compete at the top of the league,
MU Fans and Management really want instant success with a fairly large investment for players today to support OGS play Scheme.
OGS must find a way to push  MU game to the next level if it does not want to be sacked and of course OGS position will be very difficult if in the next few weeks do not get full points,

FIFA (the game) just released their latest rankings and I was a bit surprised to see Messi is still the #1 player, and Ronaldo is #2. Ranked top is 94 points. Just for the record, last year they were both tied at #1.

I thought it was for sure time for another to rise but I guess that is not how it works in the game world;)

He should be on MU at least for two full seasons. Any manager would need time to get the players he needs and make sure they can perform as best as they can in every match. Sir Alex Fergusson did not instantly win a lot of titles, and he needs time, especially if he needs to fix a lot of problems. Four years is probably the standard.

If Solkjaer got sacked in the middle of the season, who would replace him? Maybe another manager who would get sacked in the next season.

Solkjaer could be the EPL next manager to be out of a job, at least I'm sure he'll get sacked before Lampard. Meanwhile I'm still positive on Lampard seeing out the season as Chelsea's manager.

Is Emre can really angry? Many mentioned that it was the right thing.

Related to him not being included in the troops at UCL, it is certainly unfortunate. Emre was very instrumental in the Juventus midfield.

After his statements that he is angry and furious about Sarri's decision I don't think that he is going to have a place in the list.
It was absolutely Sarri's fault, he made similar mistakes at Chelsea and as a result he lost the respect of his players early in the season.
