Congrats man, that's great news.
Hopefully the specialists figure out soon what the exact underlying cause is and more importantly the best treatment.

Steven Gerrard on Busquets “Having played against him, in the end you stop pressing him because it’s just so frustrating,” "He’s an absolute nightmare to play against. He didn’t break sweat. It almost looks like he’s in second gear.”

Bernard is really good. He would do damage in Napoli's system, would fit like a glove

Next year's Copa America is gonna be lit

I wonder how many UEFA and AFC teams are gonna attend.

Man keep us updated for real if you can. On your good health before anything else.

You a thread-star now, but I know many have checked and appreciated every football headline you posted over the years.

I’m scared as **** and they could get him on a free transfer. Napoli sure is making the right moves. Still think they are in route to dominate Serie A for a little before being big dogs in the CL.

What a keeper-error.

 

[nomadicsole21]

Man all these English GKs are having a horrible season or two. Hart, Butland, Pickford.

Butland just let in a YouTube GK Fail Compilation type goal.

 

[champcruthik]

To expound on my Arsenal post from after the NLD, Alban Lafont is a name I'm seeing circulated in our thread recently and rightfully so. Keeper is a need for Gunners. Cech is 35 and Ospina isn't a true #1. If LFC were priced out for Alisson, it's unlikely Arsenal will pony up for his services. Which brings us to Lafont. He was the youngest-ever GK in Ligue 1 history and since debuting in '15, he's been a regular starting fixture for Toulouse. For whatever reason, "Gigio" Donnarumma receives more of the global attention and exposure. Lafont has prototypical height and is an imposing figure in net. He's already got around 25 clean sheets in league play. Lafont has honestly outgrown his current club and is ready for a move with new challenges, whether that be with Gunners or otherwise. With Lloris and Mandanda aging, Lafont and Areola will both have bright opportunities to factor for country in Euro 2020.

 

[nomadicsole21]

After these few weeks of Champions League matches I dont even know why I'm watching Stoke and Heggsy FC ping ponging the ball back and forth. Just rooting for Iheanacho basically.

Thankfully Bayerns about to play.

[champcruthik]

While on the subject of keeper play and future talents, let us discuss Wuilker Farinez. Already entrenched as Venezuela's number one at just 20 years of age. First caught my eye at the U20 WC. His distribution is a joy to watch, perfect for a managerial style that promotes counter-attacking. Doesn't have the height that Lafont or "Gigio" offer but Farinez's reflexes are top-notch and he's very quick off his line. What Farinez lacks in height, he makes up for with mobility and agility. Also good at stopping PKs, as Alexis once experienced.

 

[tomdiginson]

These United players are really idiots. Man's like Martial should have been looking for a way out especially if he isn't getting regular playing time. Would gladly take him at Liverpool

 

[nomadicsole21]

Thats always been a Mourinho thing, especially with Chelsea. Young proven talent not being favored for managerial reasons.

Went from debuting at ST/CF to LM then long stretches of being benched to now being pushed to RM.

Dude needs to get his spot back. I know a couple of United fans didnt want Sanchez for the same reason I didn't want him at City. I still think it was a desperation signing that hasn't really panned out so far.

 

[rolaholic]

Alienating the clubs most popular players with the fans is surely gonna end well for Mou...

I guy the Tone reports a lot more than the Pog wanting out stuff given that RMC actually have legit contacts with his camp. He's been on the bench for big games or moved out right when he plays ever since Alexis arrived when he should only ever see the bench at the start of games if he's hurt with the season he's had

This last month has made me wonder how much credence those Makelele comments regarding Mou and jealousy over stars had...

He loves to big up and boost the likes of Fro, Mike and McTominay but gives the most popular guys a hard time constantly

In match news,Moyes is giving Uncle Pat a trial by fire for his first start for West Ham against that 'Pool attack ,RIP

 

[ootherocoo]

Not sure why Mou doesn't play Martial on the left, Sanchez on the right...smh
