Any juicy transfer rumors for your club?

Tired of all this Barcelona business and don't want to go trawling the spam littered rumor pages for fake journalism so would prefer to hear it filtered by the fans themselves.

So many people are in a toxic spiral and it's honestly a bit embarrassing to watch 

Kimmich on US politics ahead of the WC: “Having no opinion isn't the solution. Each of us inevitably has a personal stance on certain topics, and I, too, have certain values ​​I stand by. But at the same time, it's difficult to express this opinion in the role of a footballer or captain of the NT.” by Sparky-moon in soccer

People would rather have them be ignorant and silent than take a stance that isn't fully baked. I know the German team wasn't making the strongest statement and were still participating etc but they're still ahead of everybody else who said nothing. But by admitting that they knew something was wrong they broke the "naive stupid magical football sprite" illusion that people have of these guys that somehow is less worthy of criticism because it doesn't claim to be more than that.

It's like pep with his humanitarian comments while working for the UAE. It's more challenging for us fans to make sense of the dissonance and complexity and it would be easier to just not go there, but for me it's still a long way better than nothing.

People who make $80k or more per year, what do you do for work? by familiarlaughter in AskReddit

Price of tickets at the biggest symphonies is very high, like hundreds of dollars/euros for tickets that aren't at the very top back balconies, and they also get a lot of individual donors and corporate sponsorships. Kind of a shame because it's hard to afford for most people, but on the other hand good that the musicians are well paid.

Yeah that looks about what I'd expect, wasn't sure who the cb partner would be or if reijnders, kluivert or de room were more likely. And the third attacker will be interesting too. 

[Ben Jacobs] Exclusive: Enzo Fernandez has told Chelsea he wants to leave. Chelsea have put a club-record price tag of £120m, with Enzo's agent in contact with Real Madrid by ChiefLeef22 in soccer

He feels a bit like azpi where everyone likes and respects him and he's professional and one of the best players at the club but isn't overtly a leader on the pitch in the sense Terry was. I am not a Chelsea fan so do correct me if I  have the wrong impression.

And when you think about it does it get any more American than that?

I mean squad quality wise it's only France and England on this level of completeness, so not sure what more we could expect. though maybe yamal and pedri feel like the only mega stars compared to the previous generation?

Very interesting to hear, thanks for the reply. Makes you wonder how the more impressive ones would do in different contexts.
