BREAKING: Barcelona confirm Dani Alves will leave the club. [@FCBarcelona]
#mufc want José Mourinho to stay beyond his three year contract. The club want Mourinho to establish a dynasty while Mourinho himself wants to manage #mufc for the long term and has told Ed Woodward [guardian]
Before taking on the Uruguay job in 2006 (his first spell included the 1989 Copa America and 1990 World Cup), Tabarez spent some time brooding on the theme of globalisation and its effects on football in his country. He came to one clear conclusion: The demands of domestic Uruguayan football were no longer compatible with those of the top class international game.
The opening up of a global market in players had clearly made it impossible for such a small country to keep hold of its stars. The local league had some promising youngsters, some grizzled veterans, and little quality in between. This meant that those who stood out in the Uruguayan league were not necessarily good enough for the national team -- and that those good players who left at an early age ran the risk of losing a connection with the land of their birth.
The solution for this was to invest in the national youth sides. Tabarez and his team went looking to identify youngsters with the capacity to shine at a top level. Above all they were looking for speed: speed of movement, speed of thought, speed of technical execution. And once players with these attributes had been identified, they were given a crash course in the historical identity of the Uruguayan national team. In the future, if they were to be called back from their European club to represent that national team, they had to know all about the importance of that sky blue shirt.
The success of this project is plain to see. In recent years Uruguay have consistently done well at the Under-20 level. And more importantly, the Under-20 sides are producing a conveyor belt of talent that seamlessly graduates to the senior side.

We had him on loan at Galatasaray this season where he has done pretty well. They have played him at CB in games defensive mid and fullback so he is showing to be very versatile across the defense of a team. I believe he is ready to come into the squad now (because of the consistency of his play and versatility he has shown on loan) at least of the bench hopefully Pep feels the same.I forgot City had Belgian CB Jason Denayer... What's the word on him? I don't remember seeing him in the few City games I watched...
They shouldn't move either players until the managers get there and then have them make that decision to help build the team to their liking. They still have Deulofolu, Kleverly, Mirallas and most importantly Barkley.If Everton sell Lukaku & Stones, Unai Emery is stupid if he leaves Sevilla for Everton.
Even with it's new majority owner, selling off it's 2 best assets continues to make that club look like it's more interesting in maintain the status quo and/or a selling club.
Same thing for de Boer, I hope neither end up with this job. It just looks like a miserable job.
