I am both in disbelief and relief that we signed Bale and Reguilon. That delayed announcement had me worried for a bit after the whole Dybala fiasco from last year and the nightmare flashbacks of Willian.

Can't wait to see Bale, Son and Kane starting, that is a filthy front three that can rival any front three in world football. So freaking excited for the season after that absolute wreck of a season opener vs Everton.

Plus we are going after a back up striker, center midfielder and even a center back as well. So it seems we are far from done strengthening the squad.

Also the EPL looks like its is going to be a bonkers season, becoming even more competitive with a extra dose of upsets.

As a Madrid fan, what’s your thoughts on Reguilon?
Click to expand...

He has potential to be a top player but he need to polish his skills and improve his performance to be able to secure a place at Real Madrid so his time with Spurs should be the time he achieve both of these things and to impress us. I hope he does rise up to the task.

Torres, on Liverpool's exit: They stab me, they betray me. The sales of Masche, Rafa and Alonso weakened the team more and more. The sports director did not care if I left, he only talked about my departure, how much, where ... And in the press the next day that they were looking for a culprit"

What are you thinking 4-2-3-1 Bale behind Kane or 4-3-3 bale on the right?

Who would have in midfield?

Idealy I would want a some sort of 433 with Lo Celso, Hojbjerg, and Ndombele in the middle and Bale, Kane, and Son up top. I would also like to see Kane play a false 9 with Son and Bale as wing forwards similarly to how Kane played today dropping deeper and playing balls in behind with the insane speed both Bale and Son posses, could make for an deadly counter attacking set up.

But today's game was ridiculous Kane with 4 assists and a goal and Son with 4 goals, what a turn around in the second half. I actually want to see some heading stats for the first half as there where so many stoppages and delays it with no rhythm to the game. We really needed this sort of game to lift the squad, Bale lifted the atmosphere around the last day or two but these sort of performances are gam changers when it comes to the players actual confidence.

Man I'm so happy to see Everton looking like they've finally got some teeth rather than being a perennial mid to upper-mid table team. It's a long season, but it's been a pretty long time since they looked like they had the potential to be dangerous.

Me too, I have a soft spot for Everton. I hope their performance and win vs Spurs will give them more confidence vs. Top 6 opposition something they have lacked for so long now.

We start with a draw :messenger_pensive:

I don't think it's unreasonable. They've got the horses imo. Of course, there are many moving parts with injuries and overall chemistry, but I think they should have that as a realistic goal.

I agree, do you think James will make an impact? he has his favorite manager there so he has no excuse.

I think he's already making an impact and expect he will continue to do so - health allowing, of course.

Sure would be nice to have stadiums full of fans. As much as I love the sport (and others), it's really lacking the atmosphere that makes it special. Hopefully it won't take too long until we're past this.

There is a race for a vaccine/cure and once that is done the fans can return in full force, I hope it doesn't take long and forever alter the game.

Toni Kroos: "When Ramos has an opinion, he uses it in the full interest of the team, without buckling. And that was a different level than what I've seen so far. That's why he's an absolute top captain for me. When it comes to captains, I haven't seen anyone better."

Kroos: "Cuando Ramos expresa una opinión es por el bien del equipo"

El alemán ha explicado en su podcast esa relación que mantiene con el capitán del Real Madrid y por qué es el mejor que siempre ha tenido.

Romero: Barça are in the hands of Jorge Mendes to activate the transfer market. He would take Semedo, represented by him, to the Wolves where he is part of the entity. Chinese owner Guo Guangchang of the Wolves owns 20% of Mendes' company.

Fabrizio Romano: Juventus are now in talks with Atlético Madrid to sign Álvaro Morata! €10m loan + €45m buy option offered to Atlético. Atléti are now seriously considering to sell Morata because Luis Suarez is close to be the new striker. He’s ready to leave FCB as a free agent

Sky TG24: Luis Suarez's Italian citizenship was obtained through a scam. An investigation done by Guardia di Finanza revealed that the arguments of the Italian language test held by the Uruguayan striker had been agreed upon earlier and the scores awarded before

Suarez, 'cittadinanza italiana ottenuta con truffa'

The Sports Judge awarded the 3-0 victory to Hellas Verona for the match against Roma that finished 0-0. The Giallorossi were penalized for the error in compiling the list of 25 players, in which Diawara had been included as under 22 despite having already turned 23 years old.

Roma, ufficiale il ko a tavolino per il caso Diawara

Ora è ufficiale: il Giudice Sportivo ha assegnato la vittoria per 3-0 a tavolino all’Hellas Verona per la sfida contro la Roma, finita in campo 0-0. Il club giallorosso è…

Pantaleo Longo (Roma) who is responsible for not putting Diawara in the proper category resulting in a 3-0 loss again Hellas Verona, will join Hella Verona..

A bit late, but:

Thiago debut offers early insight into invaluable influence on & off-field

A record-breaking cameo is to be only the start.
www.thisisanfield.com www.thisisanfield.com

"Everything went through the 29-year-old, he was head of quality control – so much so that he set a new record for the most successful passes in a 45 minute or less performance since records began in the Premier League in 2003, with 75.

He was surpassed by no other player on the field from either team across the entire 90 minutes, with Naby Keita (49) the closest for the Reds and Mateo Kovacic (64) for Chelsea. "

Thiago is such a fucking great player, he really commands the team to the point he almost feels like a QB from the other football lol.

To be honest my real questions are why did he want to leave Bayern? and why did Bayern ultimately let him leave?
Also why there wasn't a bigger fight to sign him from other clubs?

Shocked to hear Luis Suarez would do something ethically dubious.

Too convenient, sound like those statements that players use whenever they change clubs "always wanted to play for XXXXX since I was in the womb" and club badge kisses on the first day.
