Lukaku over Morata any day. Great signing for United.

Huddersfield have bought well. Be happy with 17th this season though!



                            

20 year old Ajax midfielder Abdelhak Nouri has just collapsed out of nowhere in a friendly against Werder Bremen. 2 ambulances, screens around him so people can't see him and apparently he's being reanimated with a heart massage and a defibrillator.
Hopefully he'll be ok.

Update: Cardiac arrhythmia, he's stable and has a heartbeat but is being kept asleep. On his way to the hospital with a trauma helicopter.

Scary shit. Just goes to show anything can happen to anyone.

Update: He's on a respiratory machine (sorry if that isn't the proper name in English, it's one of those machines with tubes down your throat). Still being kept asleep.

Update on Nouri:

  • Still being kept asleep
  • He underwent a full medical exam just a week and a half ago, no problems were found
  • The first results from the heart exams are looking good
  • Awaiting neurological test, family will be informed first, then the club


It's these kind of medical conditions that really do end careers now. Tear your cruciate knee ligament? Don't worry, we'll fix you. Have a heart condition whereby you could collapse for being healthy and doing exercise, end of career. Very sad, hope me makes a good recovery.





Hmm, pie.

Lukaku to Utd and Rooney to Everton is official now.

Kinda surprised actually. Lukaku to Utd kinda came out of nowhere. He's been linked with a return to Chelsea for what, the past year? And then a couple days ago Utd are just like "ya know, we want him now!"

Lukaku is 24, he's already above 100 goals in the prem and the last 2 seasons he scored a good 20 goals both seasons. Man U have probably been keeping tabs on him all that time, waiting for the contract to move a bit so they can get him when he's ready and they are ready to pay. I mean they need someone like him, look at their strikers since Van Persie.

Chelsea buying him back would have been funnier mind you. Especially if they paid over twice what they sold him for.



Hmm, pie.

James Rodriguez to Bayern, 2 year loan with option to buy. Fee is reportedly €5million for each year while he's on loan (€10mil total) + €35.2million if they wanna buy him permanently, so €45.2million total. IMO cheap as hell for a 25y old as good as him.

Doesn't have that Premier League premium. It's a lot more expensive for english teams to buy players because they know the clubs have the money to pay it. 

James costing Bayern 45 million whereas it would cost a team like City 70 million+.
