EPL and British Football

[mhnessie]

I would not go as far as saying hes the best in the World, hes a good player but over-rated the money they payed to resign him is beyond crazy. The players at ManUre knew however at the time it was a mistake to let him leave, Sir Alex didn't always make the right call.

In fact it's a 120m mistake and shows how crazy this market has become. The EPL seems to be flooded with money at the moment but this bubble must burst one day. Fully agree that Pogba is by far overrated. If he's worth 120m, what are they going to pay for Messi ? 250m ?

I did hear that Graziano Pelle who played for Southampton last year and moved to a Chinese club is on a huge wage, similar to Messi's.

Well that would be your Scottish brethren. But I don't think he is a Rangers fan first and foremost (probably Chelski)... although I could be wrong.

Yeah, China is the place to go if you only have left a couple years to play and if you want to make some money despite of playing in a meaningless league.

Btw - Pitch

Higuaín the Argentine player was given the chance of a mega deal there but declined and chose Juve instead. Cant blame him he wanted to stay in a competitive league and its not as though he needs the extra money.

Almost everyone who goes to China to play football instantly regrets it.

Ask Drogba, Demba Ba, Papiss Cisse, Ujah.... and a host of others. Especially if they are Muslim, they won't like the food options over there. And that's not a racist comment, I just know how hard it is for Muslims to find appropriate food for them. I've spoke with someone who is Muslim about it.

Ujah just moved to China, don't know if he already regrets it but what I know is that he's only 25 and he obviously chose money instead of having a career and playing in a competitive league.
Regarding the food - isn't chicken O.K. for muslims ? I thought so ? There are so many Asian/Chinese dishes with chicken. And if they're playing in Shanghai or Bejing for example I assume they can get everything they want.
But regardless of finding appropriate food - to me China shouldn't be an option for a young and ambitious player.

Plenty of chicken there, that's not the problem. Chinese food is cooked with a lot stock (juice from pork, beef juices)... so the chicken could have some pork juice in it while cooking, creating a big problem.

I think Ujah will be running back to the Bundesliga in no time.

Scheisse Nessie. No streams?

I noticed that in Germany it's hard to watch English Football. No one shows it. At least in the USA we can watch many different leagues. EPL, Bundesliga, La Ligua, Serie A, and some French League games too.

Ja, grosser Mist. But Sky still wants the same money, ridiculous.
However - these guys have the rights now, but that would mean to pay another 10 Euros per month.

Heard about some new service called DAZN, supposed to be the netflix of sports. Tried that?

not sure if i'm quite allowed to say this, but buy an amazon firestick(or something similar) then download Kodi on it then sportsdevil, and you can get pretty much any game on that. i've done it, the quality isn't exactly HD or SD for that, but it's watchable

Might be worth a try
Really need so save some money that I'm spending for watching TV or sports.
I'm already paying for cable TV, Sky, Netflix and for the public service broadcasting.
That's too much.....

Yeah, not sure where this board stands on this, so if anything taboo is in this post, feel free to remove it. But, I use Kodi, and i use a paid addon (works out at £17 p/m), and it gives me all UK TV (sports, movies & PPV too), Some USA including NBCSN and NFL feeds. Also some other countries sports channels, Portuguese, Scandinavian etc.

Just putting it out there, if anyone wants more information, drop me a PM.

Just having a glass of red and chillin before the United vs Southampton match tonight. Pogba to start? Hope so. Excited for the first time since Sir Alex retired. Jose is the man ego should have replaced him back then, but he's here now. Just need to get rid of fat boy Rooney and get Rashford alongside Ibra and we will be unstoppable.
