The Time Is Now Or Never For Isco
Often seen as part of La Roja’s midfield for the foreseeable future, Francisco Román Alarcón Suárez – also known as Isco – faces a crucial season ahead of him at Real Madrid. It is his third season at the Spanish giants after a €30 million move from Málaga in the summer of 2013. Fresh off winning…

The Gabonese Gas Pedal
It’s not a tragedy, but Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang had a long, two-part uphill battle to show he’s one of the best strikers in the world. First, the fact is Aubameyang is a very fast African player. His athletic greatness is something many of the world’s sports marvel at and demand more of. Yet there’s always been a snobby…

Ross Barkley isn’t Good at Football
It’s really easy to make fun of English prospects, so much so that it could simply be classified as low hanging fruit. The way the English media and fans hype their own talent way above their actual production level is borderline farcical. Saido Berahino was thought so highly of that Tottenham dedicated nearly a month…

Rigid Louie
Louis van Gaal’s second season at the helm at Manchester United hasn’t gotten off to the greatest of starts. After four weeks of play, United have won two, drawn one and lost one, which isn’t really a problem in and of itself. However, it is the manner in which United have come out that kinda…

Crystal Palace’s Impact
It was around this time I wrote a guest post about Crystal Palace and their outlook just a few weeks into the 2014-15 season. Palace’s first two seasons back in the Premier League were heart-attack inducing followed by infinite swooning. Much of Crystal Palace’s 2013-14 season consisted of an intensely bad start. Then manager Ian…

The Massive Implications from Nabil Fekir’s Knee Injury
So… this is awkward. We posted our feature piece on Nabil Fekir at 12:00 PM MST yesterday on just how exciting a player he is and projects to be (the words “next Lionel Messi” were used in a non laughing matter). Almost an one hour later, he tore his acl and is projected to be out…

Nabil Fekir: Lyon’s Crown Jewel
One of the greatest legacies that Lionel Messi will leave behind when he slowly fades away from our collective consciousness (you know, outside the usual “he’s the greatest ever”, “he was better than Ronaldo” mambo jumbo) is that he’s spawn off a bunch of copycats. Numerous amounts of players have been labelled in some form…

Anthony Martial, Alexis Sanchez, and the New Transfer Market Ineffeciency
The transfer dust has finally settled, and well, it was an interesting and active window. A certain Manchester club became Voltron and spat in FFP’s face, and the other became much maligned over a deal for an unproven French forward that hasn’t had his twentieth birthday. How did we get here though? United, while maybe taking a…

The Anthony Martial Saga and Another Detour in the Monaco Project
The Principality has been an awfully busy place this summer, but no deal Monaco have made is bigger than this one. At the time of this writing, Anthony Martial looks like he’ll be the most expensive French teenager in the history of football as he closes in on a move to Manchester United. There are conflicting…
