I like a lot of people had never seen Bouaddi play before today but I think it’s pretty clear he’s an absolutely world class talent based on that performance alone
Personally think the World Cup would be better if the qualification process was changed so that teams from any continent can be in the same group. It would lead to more European countries qualifying, but that’s justified as they are just better at footy than Haiti, Curaçao etc
🚨💣 BREAKING: Éderson to Manchester United, here we go!
Deal done with Atalanta for €45m package with add-ons included, agreement now in place.
Medical and formal steps to follow but deal in place.
Éderson will sign a four year deal plus option, as @TheAthleticFC reports.
Guy deserves so, so much credit. Over the 120 mins it was a pretty average performance from him, but he was the only one of the 3 stars up front to last the 90 minutes (and 30 extra after that). Stepping up at 20 years old and slotting his pen away, fair play to him.
This could be a slightly closed minded take but should we not be concerned that this guy was getting benched by a 40 year old James Milner? All in all he had a very average season and no way is he a 100m player or even a 60m+ player
🚨 Man Utd were prepared to pay £75m for Carlos Baleba last summer, but Brighton held out for £100m+. United now have a relatively free run at the midfielder, but interest has cooled.
They are prioritising other targets and Baleba is no longer at the top of the shortlist.
Still an option, though Brighton remain notoriously difficult in negotiations.
The player would jump at the move, contract and salary demands would be no issue for either side, but his performances this season have been underwhelming and a big fee wouldn't currently represent strong value.

One of the best games you’ll see and the ref just has to step in with a really poor decision. Really getting sick of the lack of common sense when it comes to decisions like that
Feel like people might be choosing to ignore this decision because of how good the game has been. It’s an absolutely terrible call from both VAR and the ref
