11 South American talents ready for the big European move | FourFourTwo

Admittedly, the only one I know of for sure and have seen play is Gabriel Barbosa. I could see him headed to Porto. Others I’ve heard and, of course, seen on FM. We’ll see how many do end up in Europe this summer on beyond.

La Liga Facing Crucial Summer with Tidal Wave of Cash Headed for Premier League | Bleacher Report

La Liga Facing Crucial Summer with Tidal Wave of Cash Headed for Premier League | Bleacher Report

Really great piece here. The smaller, or less financially secure, clubs in La Liga will certainly have their fingers crossed in hope this summer. If the players mentioned are enticed to move elsewhere then the league definitely faces the prospect of going back to being a two, now three-horse, league. It’s been great to see teams like Villarreal on the rise again. Hopefully that doesn’t change in the blink of an eye this summer.

Daniel Levy faces battle to control Tottenham wage bill this summer

Daniel Levy faces battle to control Tottenham wage bill this summer

I don’t think Levy would play hardball in negotiations with the players who’ve gotten them to this point. The likes of Batshuayi would be in line for pay in the £80,000 bracket even if the higher earners get an increase. He still has much to prove in his career for Levy to just offer him wages for the sake of adding much-needed depth. Tottenham’s wage bill will have to rise howeve Levy looks at it.

Has MLS been hurt by departures like Miazga Martins Nemeth – ESPN FC

Has MLS been hurt by departures like Miazga Martins Nemeth – ESPN FC

The MLS has grown so much that these moves don’t have a significant effect.

The Martins move isn’t particularly surprising considering he’s played for a number of teams.(I don’t agree that he’s off chasing his next payday). The league continues to attract well-known foreign talent so there won’t be too much worry there. The Miazga move was surprising as well but there will be more young American talent to come through so no biggie there either.
