Premier League 17-18

@WildInterista Not quite. Back on the old forums, the Champions' League Thread (I could swear it was for 15/16, but it might have been 14/15) was actually created in early June, just days after the final.
.............................................................
Fulham might be missing out on the party for what feels like the squillionth year in a row (even though it's only the fourth), but here's hoping the best for the teams that did make it to the Promised Land. Especially first-timers Brighton and Huddersfield.

Liverpool may have suffered a setback in their pursuit of RB Leipzig midfielder Naby Keita.

The Guinean is top of the Reds' midfield wanted list even with a possible price tag of up to 50m euros.

RB Leipzig finished runner-up to Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich last year but their place in the Champions League was in doubt because of Red Bull's ownership of Austrian champions Red Bull Salzburg.

It had been feared that UEFA regulations concerning dual ownership of clubs would force Leipzig out of the competition, with Salzburg taking priority as a league champion.

had been presumed that Keita would be more likely to leave the German club if they miss out on Europe's elite competition.

However UEFA has now deemed it acceptable for both clubs to enter the Champions League.

A statement said: "The adjudicatory chamber of the UEFA Club Financial Control Body (CFCB) has decided to accept the admission of both FC Salzburg and RB Leipzig to the UEFA Champions League 2017/18, having found that Article 5 (Integrity of the competition) of the competition regulations is not breached.

"Following a thorough investigation, and further to several important governance and structural changes made by the clubs (regarding corporate matters, financing, personnel, sponsorship arrangements, etc.), the CFCB deemed that no individual or legal entity had anymore a decisive influence over more than one club participating in a UEFA club competition.

"This decision may be appealed to the Court of Arbitration for Sport within 10 days...

@manager00092
I followed the news in the last weeks about Bradley and his great friend Defoe.
Defoe is a great guy ... he always been with Bradley.
I'm very sad to hear this.

@manager00092
Young Bradley will remain in our hearts for the rest of his life ;(. Now from heaven he will watch the matches of his favorite team ;(.

[Pizzi_77]

Yes, but they are playing with 10 men since 14'.

[maricja_NL]

@pizzi_77 True, but still 0-3 behind in the first half against Burnley.... It's not something I'd expect.

Frank de Boer's Crystal Palace will face a rough season playing like this. It's terrible to watch.

[Byku Duma Warmii]

From what I know Chelsea is the Englishman to lose goals in the round, but as for the game I think Cahill is hopeless, not suitable for such a player.

[PucheGol]

The best league of the world!!!

[Byku Duma Warmii]

What a wonderful match in United's cleansing. May have as many matches as possible, and the title this season will become very real. Matić and Lukaku so far the biggest shopping in this transfer window in England:flag_gb: for me. For this, Mikie's great game and a spectacular victory are ready.

@big-eug
With Griezmann our composition will look hellishly strong. It would be very cool to have a player like him in the squad.

[marjan2241]
