Euro Football (Soccer) trasnfer market talk

[jterrell]

Wanted a thread for us to decide moves.

Ronaldo from Real to Juve was the biggie.
Jorginho from Napoli to Chelsea
Mahrez from Leicester to Man City

Juve sucks. They're leaving all their stars home on their US tour. Looks like its going to be the MLS all-stars vs Juve's hash squad.

not unusual in WC year but yea strange for Italian sides given they missed the WC.
LA Galaxy beat them like 3 or 4 to 1 a few years back so you can tell they could care less about making American inroads.

Barca play Roma here in Dallas.
It'll be 10000 degrees,

Many star players on top European teams are not playing preseason games as they are being rested following the World Cup. Some teams e.g. Liverpool have even said some players will miss some early season league games.

I'm just hoping that my Cherries can manage to get a few players like Milan Badelj of Croatia, Mark Milligan of Australia, or Josh Risdon of Australia.

Like Dybala who played like 15 minutes in the WC? I just think these soccer behemoths don't want to risk their better players. They are foolish b/c the American market is the largest in the world and barely tapped. Juve' could sell a million Ronaldo jerseys in a few weeks. This country is so starved for soccer that even a starless team like Atlanta United draws between 50-75k a game. In fact, Atlanta United ranked 5th in the world last year in attendance.
