The True Football (Not American)/Futbol/Soccer Thread: Part VI

Zlatan Ibrahimovic to the USA and LA Galaxy, is it official now?

Be prepared for one hell of a ride. Great for the entire league from a pr perspective, hopefully his cruciate ligament injury is healed now (unfortunately still a question mark...).


”The Galaxy offered him $3 million - combined - over two seasons. And he took it.”

If this is true (????) it's a great deal and he definately didn't sign for the money, which team wouldn't sign Zlatan for this kind of money?

L.A. Galaxy sign superstar Zlatan Ibrahimovic

I can't wait until he makes the news by fighting one of his teammates in practice. I give it two weeks at most...

Any European team.

Man, Zlatan, what can I say, a true living legend, good for him finishing an amazing career in Los Angeles.

This was an ok start...

And Roma drops Barcelona out of Champions League by winning their home game 3-0! Awesome news, some new blood as Liverpool and Roma qualifies and not the same teams always.

 

[Murzu]

What an ending to RM - Juventus game.. damn.

So I guess Bayern are sick of winning the BuLi

What are you referring here? Bayern has looked okay in the CL from what I've seen, their core is definitely aging and slowing down as Barca's is.

They've announced that their new coach is going to be...Nico Kovac

Read the soccer board managerial thread for some good conspiracies theories about it. Cause Kovac is astonishingly ill suited for a club like Bayern. This is like BVB hiring Stoger times a thousand

What's your opinion about Peter Bosz? Yeah he failed at BVB, but hard to see if he's at fault or if Superman "W" put his butterfingers on the club.

Watzke didn't prevent him from even trying to organize a backline or pressing scheme. He's basically Wenger, not the worst at structuring possession, but clueless at organizing his team against the ball.

Wasn't it Superman "W"'s fault for hiring a below-average manager in the first place? It seems that after Klopp left BVB didn't have a clue on who to hire or the where to take this club so all the moving pieces eventually drifted off. I am not complaining though, Auba wasn't needed, true, but he's a breath of freshair.

Tuchel was a great hiring, hell his BVB were better than Klopp's ever where that 1st season. It was when TT started falling out with Watzke & his cronies after they sold everybody despite promising Tuchel at most 1 key departure; then things went south for them.

 

[S E P H]

He did not go with a bang but with a whimper...

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

He still has a Europa if he can grab that then it's a solid send off.not banking on it tho

 

[Alex Jones]

Gratz Arsenal fans.

 

[JWK]

I was gonna joke about how Arsenal fans will think about getting Carlo, Allegri, Jardim, etc. but will probably get Niko Kovac and Kevin Prince-Boateng as their marquee signing but that’s too late for my joke

Have a feeling whoever they get will flop bad. They’re totally getting Eddie Howe aren’t they.

Hey @JWK , is Chang Hun Kwon good enough for Gladbach or would that just be a marketing signing?

He's probably the 2nd best Korean player (I don't follow the K-league that close so someone might be better there idk), got a pretty nice left foot.
