Kolek planning to go pro
Oh, just hand them the trophy now and forget the rest of the matches then.
Arsenal hands Citeh the trophy.
Absolute shambles of a performance by the Owls in a massive game. We go again albeit a near impossible task. Brutal, damn.
I'll stick with my opinion on Gold. He'll be in foul trouble within the first eight minutes.
Let's hope that Balogun can be that missing no. 9 piece that the US has needed for some time. 19 league goals at only 21 years old. Will just be entering his prime during the next WC. Have to see where he ends up next season as I'm not sure the minutes will be there at Arsenal once his loan ends, but a major win for the US nonetheless.
Biggest dual nat signing ever for the US, IMO. This isn't an academy talent or someone who is tied to a big club but not playing, like Julian Green. This is a player from a top club on loan scoring in bunches in a top 5 league. Further, Reims is mid table and has only scored 42 goals in 35 league matches, which makes his 19 even more impressive. Its not like he was padding stats with a high scoring club.Agree that he likely doesn't end up at Arsenal, but he will have no shortage of high profile suitors. I'm buzzing this morning. He's gonna be a great backup for Jordan Morris.
Should they make Mason full time?
Going from Poch to Ryan Mason in several years is the most spurs move of all time
As much as my Spursy little heart loves Poch, it was time for him to move on. The problem wasn't parting ways with Poch, it's been all the catastrophic failures that followed.Mason should not be the permanent replacement. I'd much rather take my chances with Kompany or Alonso.
Kompany just signed a new contract and pretty clearly has eyes for one job and one job only. If he keeps Burnley up until Pep leaves (I believe his contract currently is up in 2025), he'll be the first name City call.
And if Burnley goes down, it probably wouldn't hurt him all that much. Staying there might be way better for his career then jumping to Spurs.
Counter...if you're a manager who's accomplished anything prior to White Hart Lane, relative failure managing Spurs doesn't negatively impact your career. Didn't for Poch, didn't for Jose, didn't for Villas-Boas, and I doubt it hurt Nuno (who I assume will be back to Spain/England within a year or two). Conte likely has a solid job by fall.
Nuno may eventually get a chance with a relegation-battling club in one of the top leagues, but I don't think he's ever getting another "big" job.Villas-Boas has had work, but I wouldn't call it top-tier.And then there's Harry Redknapp.
So the Championship playoff final will be between Luton (who were in the non-league fifth tier a decade ago) and Coventry (who were in League 2 five seasons ago.)
Winner gets 20th and relegation next year.
I wouldn't be so sure with Luton. Promoted from Non-League to League 2 and immediately were a mid-table top 10 club. Then a few years later promoted from L2 to L1 to Championship in back to back seasons, and then were always a few spots clear of relegation in the Championship. I wouldn't be shocked to see them end up 15-16 next year if they win it.
