Buffon back to Juventus today.

He is doing medical stuff right now

Surely he won’t be the number one, he must be about 40 now. This move makes no sense to me unless it’s as a player/coach dual role or something.

lol what going on with juventus? did they haven't another choice for goalkeeper? or maybe Juventus want Buffon to retire there?
with this transfer i think juventus has been give up to bring in pogba from MU to turin.

Frank Lampard is the new Chelsea manager: https://twitter.com/ChelseaFC/status/1146697129328545792

I think he was the only manager willing to accept the job while not being to make any signings, so it's not like Chelsea had no other choice but to offer him a contract...IMO he won't last too long, looking forward to see who gets the sack first: him or Solskjaer.

This is going to be interesting. Lampard will be sacked first. MU board is a bit cold headed compared to Chelsea and let's not discount the experience gained by Ole last season.

My friend told me that Ronaldinho is coming out of retirement to play for Barcelona again. Did anyone else hear about this?

LOL!

That's the most hilarious thing I've read this week, Barcelona are not in a crisis and only a crisis would have warranted a player such has Ronaldinho come out of retirement to play for Barca.

Let's wait and see, I think Lampard will get lucky enough this season, he's not going to be sacked, As for Solskjaer, it's going to be a matter of the first 10 games, I think.

.IMO he won't last too long

With Chelsea's history in firing coaches, I don't actually also think he'll last long, he has barely been a coach for two years, with no experience whatsoever, throwing him into the job for me is not a good one for Chelsea, probably they're tryna do the guardiola(when he took over Barca)
Coaches this days are scared to take the Chelsea job, the body just hasn't got no chill, they want immediate success, they forget other top teams also come in fortified ready to compete.
sadly, I can see Chelsea going trophyless again.

He won't be sacked. The board knows that it is difficult to find another manager to fill his position.
Apart from that, I trust him and he will do great. He loves the club and he is the legend, thus he is going to be respected from all the players and coaches in the team.

Yes you're right it's a bit difficult to get a great coach to work on Chelsea with all the pressure. However, I wish we could place a bet somewhere.

I am almost 100% certain he would be fired and I wonder which position Chelsea is aiming for this coming season because they have Man city, Liverpool and totenham to contend with and maybe man utd. I ain't putting arsenal.

I'm not following your line.

They got Buffon for free for 1 year with a salary of about 1M €.

They will have 20m € from the second goalkeeper and 4m€ saved as salary.

Now if they are saving around 25 m € why they give up Pogba?

Buffon back to Juventus today.

Welcome back to Juventus, Buffon. I think he chose Juventus because he wanted to decide to retire at this club he is a living legend of Juventus.

They still have Higuain with a high salary and no one want them. Many people talk, Juventus always made a great deal and buy cheap and who cares almost 100mil for Higuain and nothing from them for the club. Now they don't know what to do with them and who will pay his salary next season.

I think Buffon leaves Juve and join to PSG only because of a bad relationship with the manager(Alegri), after this change, he comes back. Plus, why they need to play anymore? He proved quality and no need to exert oneself.

Yeah, "Higuain" is still a minor problem.

He has a high salary but was in lending for 1 year for around 20M€.

To be even, Juve needs to loan him or sell him for ~30M €.

Just remember, They sell (Juventus) Pogba to Man.Utd. for around 100mil. and spend this money on Higuain. Almost all, I think 90+million. So, two years later he wants to buy back Pogba (150+ mill.) and still do not have a solution for Higuain, it's only their burden.
I think they just want to make weaker Napoli and then have the easiest league win.

Yes but they sold Higuain only after the opportunity CR7.

If CR7 has not been to Juve than Higuain never left the past year.

Everyone after cr7 is a second choice.

Tbh Higuain @Juventus was a very great player, he lost his mind last year when cr7 came and he was replaced for the second time for him in his career.

Yeah, I think Solksjaer will get sacked first, possibly around Xmas/New Year. Lampard MIGHT get 1 season without being judged because they can’t sign anybody. If Lampard gets top 4 then I think Abramovich will accept that considering they lost Hazard & are unable to sign players.

Buffon back to Juventus today.

He is doing medical stuff right now

What i don't understand is why did he have leave in the first place?
Should of stayed and probably retired from Juventus or even become part of the coaching staff

He will become part of the management when his new contract expires at the end of the 2019/2020 season.

I can understand Buffon's decision last year. He is one of the best players in the world who have never won the CL. He played 3 CL finals and lost them all.
He went to PSG to try it one more time. He could have left Juventus so many times in the past if he was interested in money and fame but his dream was to win it with Juventus.

Nobody should question his motives and his love for the team. Lets not forget this is a man who as a World Champion with Italy in 2006 stayed with his team and played Serie B the next season!

Ajax seems to have rejected the first Juve offer for De Ligt according to some reports. I hope Juve doesn't mess that up and he goes elsewhere.  

[DeathAngel]

@Pmalek - Regarding De Ligt, it’s natural for a first bid to be rejected. Juve will be willing to go higher & Ajax will know that. If Juve want him badly enough they’ll get him.

Do either of you wanna make a fun bet on who gets the sack first?  I'll go with Lampard.  10 bucks.    And it should literally be who gets the sack first even if it lasts multiple seasons.

I think Lampard will go first given that Abramovich can sometimes be very impatient and unrealistic 
Solksjaer has now had some little experience on what it is like to be under pressure when handling a top club, i assume he will last a little longer than New year.
