How upset was your goalie at you for scoring on him?

You jest, but of my three goals this season, two are own-goals! The trials of playing center back with a non-communicative goalie.

Barcelona just signed Andre Gomes for €50 million plus addons.

If they plan on Arda Turan'ing him, his career is basically done. Can't imagine he beats either Rakitic or Iniesta out of a spot.

Rojo and Man U not looking so good this morning

Dortmund signed Schurrle today, too. One day after re-acquiring Gotze.

I might have to put some money on them winning the Champions League.

Meanwhile, Steve Bruce left Hull City today and is expected to take over Sunderland now that Sam Allardyce is expected to take over England.

My prediction: all three of those teams will be disasters.

I think Mourinho is underestimating just how much work United needs. Even with Martial, Zlatan, Schweiny etc. who aren't playing on this tour I just don't know what there is to fear about this squad atm.

Funny you mention Moyes because apparently he was told he'd be Sunderland boss yesterday? But Steve Bruce obviously quit Hull for a reason.

Pre-season drama!

Also on national team news, Julen Lopetegui, who was described by Pinto da Costa after firing him from Porto in January as "not having a fucking clue", is taking over Spain from Vicente del Bosque.

Hope Spanish folks like Cristian Tello and Alberto Bueno.

Since I know you Canuck footy lovers get hard for this stuff, Cyle Larin is rumoured to be going to Benfica.

mls quashed that one pretty quick ... probably cause they want a transfer fee lol

And it's done, and it's fucking insane:

Speaking of insane...

New Sunderland manager David Moyes wants Marouane Fellaini to join him at the Stadium of Light. Moyes signed Fellaini when he was Everton boss, and then took him to Old Trafford when he became United manager in 2013. A bid around the £13million mark could be enough to land the 28-year-old.

Well, at least he doesn't have to face international teams while playing for Juve.

/I'm still stunned at this transfer.
