Also, why isn't Monaco big enough to keep guys like Silva, Mbappe, Lemar, etc? That team was fun to watch last year and would have been a fun core to watch grow over the years.

Last year a record 64 amateur teams entered the US Open Cup qualifying.  This year that number has skyrocketed up to 108.

Nothing like a Cinderella story(Maryland's Christos FC) to make every one want to be the bell of the ball...

My Sunday league team actually has 3-4 teams under its banner.  Im on the old man over 35 team.  But we do have two younger teams that are pretty good.  For the 2nd year in a row their draw is with Wynalda's team.  Last year they lost 2-1 on a BS PK/red card just after the half.  Hopefully this year they have a better time of it.

Its a mystery, but they seem to be doing something right on the player transaction side in the past few years with one incredible deal after another.  As a young player, it would be hard to turn down an offer to live in Monaco and play at the Stade Louis for a year or two, just to have experienced it.

Let's all calm down, 'Shaaambles' was a nickname used as a joke for the ox sometimes around the training ground. #personaljoke

His stats for Barcelona are pretty appalling.  He was a huge prospect and purchase for them not that long ago though.  What happened?

I think a lot is a fit problem.  He is slow and not very decisive.  He has not been able to pass the ball forward with success at Barcelona.  Either because of confidence or skill.  Often passes back to defenders instead of looking up field.

That is not going to make Spurs supporters happy...

"The information I'm receiving is that Ross Barkley has turned down a move to Chelsea" - @bbcsport_david

He has said he only wanted Spurs for a while - but Spurs have not met Everton's valuation.  I would guess he will sign an extension with Everton then - his hamstring injury came at a really bad time for everyone.  Spurs not willing to pay an inflated price for a player who could be out until November.  

I still kind of hope Spurs get this one done - but it looks like they are deciding between Barkley, at a price Spurs will pay, or Gomes which will be a loan, with an option to buy.

 
So, I get that a player might not be available, it takes two, etc.  If Soton aren't selling, you can't buy.

But HTF does a club with money NOT SIGN ANY DEFENDERS given the state of the defense and a year to prepare?  Can't believe I'm mad about something so trivial, but no Plan B is just that stupid.

talking about Virgil... what happened with him? Saints just didn't want to sell? not even to liverpool?

 
El Floppo said:
is he hurt too? or has he been playing? didn't he put in a transfer request.. like all those other guys?

Hurt last Jan I believe.  Yes, transfer request, and has been training on his own for a few weeks now IIRC.

Liverpool couldn't make a formal approach because they got busted breaking the rules early in the saga, so Southampton would have needed to invite a bid.  Which apparently never happened.

Don't care about that so much, but they really needed a central partner for Matip such that Lovren would be the #3 and Klavan would be depth.  And probably a left back too.  Maybe Gomez develops some, but that's a lot of eggs in a flimsy basket given the excellent state of the rest of the team.

According to SkySports ticker, there are 6 deals pending approval, still to be announced. They are expecting them at 1am.

ETA: Edited to clarify, 6 Premier League deals.
