In this year's edition of reasons the Champions League draw is designed to ensure the group stage is a bore:


Porto/Roma and Vila/Monaco will be out, but thank fucking heavens we'll get Ludogorets/Plzen and Dundalk/Legia!

If you squander 85% of the sale price on an overweight, 29 year old Argentine striker who can't score for the life of him when it matters most I don't think they get to brag about any kind of "profit".

Unless that profit is pizza. Gonzalo will take some of that shit.

I think the Pogba price is absolutely insane (and I didn't think likewise about Ronaldo, Bale or Neymar's value because all three were worth what was paid for them) but that insanity is kinda tempered by the fact he's still young and might mature into the world's best midfielder and the money doesn't mean shit to Man United (I read one report that United will almost instantly make back 40 million euros just on initial marketing and sponsorships tied into Pogba).

The Higuain transfer is as if Florentino Perez went to a team that is worth a fraction of the value of Real Madrid and decided to spend like he did circa 2004-2006. Totally understanding that Juve is totally going for it, and I love that they are because I'll take anything that starts to break up the Real-Barca-Bayern hegemony in Europe, but a near world record fee for an ageing striker is always going to sound crazy to me regardless unless their names are Cristiano or Lionel. The fact he showed up to pre-season looking like Phil Kessel just a couple weeks after the transfer is even more concerning.

John Stones has signed on to be the 122nd Man City defensive flop since Arab Money took over in a 56 million euro transfer.

Looks like Joao Mario is moving to Inter on a 45 million euro transfer fee.

I like Joao, I think he's a decent midfielder with the potential to become very good, but on no fucking planet is he worth 45 million euros.
