So on the same day that Tuchel says we can't discuss Kane, the Bayern president decides to openly talk about...Kane.

Don't think this will help Bayern much tbh.

Normally I'm quite harsh on these things but there are extenuating circumstances here. UEFA were making changed to FFP during the middle of covid with no knowledge of exactly what the next few years would hold. Expecting clubs to keep up with unexpected changes when they might have front weighted their allowed FFP losses etc. is a challenge.

UEFA aren't perfect with FFP rule breaches but its not like they haven't attempted to ban many large clubs from Europe before.

Not only Leonardo Bonucci. Juventus also told Weston McKennie that he’s NOT part of the plans.

McKennie will not work together with the first team and won’t travel for the USA pre season tour.

Perhaps its partly a FFP thing for Man Utd. In addition to the owner issues, their inability to sell anyone at a decent price must affect their transfer budget too.

I think its just mainly the price. There's not many clubs who pay £80m+ and even less who have an opening in central midfield.

Arsenal tried in January but the price was too high, Real were focussed on Bellingham, PSG went with the Sporting guy and Man City dont need him, so its pretty much only Chelsea and Man Utd left who'd pay silly money (other than Saudi clubs).

Vid bot guy back again...

It might be best to switch it off for a week or so. It's difficult to troubleshoot any bot issues when it seems like lemmy.world and the API are having their own issues every day. I'll try to leave it running in a test community for longer and if it runs fine and then bring it back here.

@skipseagull@lemmy.world if its easier for you to make @Football_Vid_Bot@lemmy.world a mod then I should (hopefully) be able to make it sticky/unsticky itself automatically every day for each new highlights post.

Why do they only play for two and a half months a year?

He played very well for the Israeli national team the 2/3 times I've saw him.

Didn't watch much of him at Fulham though. Seems that he was decent there last season too.

Started watching The Diplomat on Netflix. I'm 4 episodes in and it's ok but why is everyone so useless other than the Americans?

It's quite off-putting.

Why would Norris go from being team leader to Marko's punching bag?

To win races and compete at the front of the grid. Being a team leader of an average and inconsistent McLaren team is unlikely to win him anything beyond a few odd podium trophies per season.

You can hide the numbers in the liftoff app (presumably other apps too). Hiding it for all users by default is obviously completely different though.

It might take a few days to get the goal bot working again btw.

Tried last night but it wasn't posting the links as comments. Unsure if lemmy.world going down had any effect on another issues that came up too.
