And that is the crux of my point as they will not follow suit IMO.

Re: Season 2017/2018
UEFA want it to happen all across Europe, 17 out of the 18 Bundesliga clubs are in favour, the players union in France is pushing for it, Managers like Allegri at Juventus have been quite vocal in supporting it.
I reckon it's unlikely we'll be the only league doing it by the time next summer comes round.

Re: Season 2017/2018
Well we shall see but l am far from convinced that all the other leagues will follow.

It's a good idea imo if all the main nations go for it, however if we're the only ones it could backfire in that you could lose a player to a foreign team and not be able to replace them.

Re: Season 2017/2018
What's the problem?
A club only sells a player if they want to.
Given the amount of players leaving the prem for the continent I can't see why people are crying
And clearly the vast majority of prem sides agree that it's a good idea.

The level of naivety shown by Peter Coats earlier was astounding, his only answer seemed to be to tell clubs they're not doing business after a specific date, completely ignoring things like release fee clauses and certain Spanish clubs refusing to take no for an answer. The timing for it to start next season is ludicrous to, there's only going be a month after the world cup finishes to sign players as I doubt clubs will be doing business before hand in case the players have storming world cups. So imo in short this isn't going to solve the problems of players bring unsettled and may make exorbitant transfers fees go even higher. Also our clubs are putting ourselves at a massive disadvantage to, what if Madrid or PSG sign a world class player and put players up for sale to cover it in the last week of their window , our clubs can't bid for them. The play off winners are going to be disadvantaged as are the team that finishes fourth who won't know if they've qualified for the champions league by the time the window shuts

Definitely a red card for Mane, very dangerous.

Re: Season 2017/2018
I wasn't sure when it happened but when you watch the replays the keeper takes Mané's studs right in the face. I doubt he meant it but I agree, very dangerous.

Re: Season 2017/2018
According to the latest FIFA rule book he doesn't have to mean it.
Fifa's laws of the game for the 2017-18 season contains the following entry...
"Serious foul play - a tackle or challenge that endangers the safety of an opponent or uses excessive force or brutality must be sanctioned as serious foul play."

He did not mean it but as usual some on social media go OTT again.

Perhaps the one you has just seen is that pink one that fly's over every so often.

Re: Season 2017/2018
Draw a fair result, Stoke gave it a real go in the second half, Lukaku missed a sitter but De Gea pulled of a stunning save to even things up.

Well the title is certainly going to Manchester that is for sure.

Re: Season 2017/2018
Not so sure, Chelski have shaken off a dreadful start and look dangerous.
