It's every year the same speculation, but now it looks like CR7 is on his way to Juve for only 100m€. 'Only', at age 33...

Watching the WC, there's no-one that can fill his boots. Surely no Neymar. MBappe is the closest thing, but not yet on the same level.

Of course, getting back nearly what you invested 9 years ago is great business, but i feel that CR may have really 3-4 legendary years more in him.
That way, 100m is a bargain.

I think he is over, if he goes to Juve he will not get any close to his numbers with Real madrid.

[Blue_Nation]

It's official now, CR7 leaves Real Madrid.

[hari]

I've got a feeling that Real are going to sign Mauro Icardi for that money..

[deporik]

They'll probably be linked with Mbappe, Kane, Hazard etc.

I think Hazard is the most likely though

[Thai Depor]

2010 Ozil
2014 James
2018 .... reckon that it might be Hazard

[Filip]

yeah i think they'll go for Hazard. But Hazard is no way a substitution for CR, since he doesn't score often. Hazard would be an improvement on Isco, it wouldnt look good for Isco if he came.

Mbappe is a good bet on the long term, but on short term they'll be 30 goals missing a year.

30/Jul/2018: 13h27: Deportivo: Depor will face Real Zaragoza in the second round of Copa Del Rey (September 12). It's a one-leg series to be played at La Romareda.

Copa against Zaragoza at their stadium, I guess we can't expect a nice reception after the affaire with Natxo...

Something was wrong, and the draw will be repeated this afternoon. What a country...

No, I'm not. Don't know exactly why, but it wasn't valid, and there will be another draw this afternoon.

Anyway, I'm reading now that it doesn't affect us, only Segunda B and Tercera teams will have another draw. So for us, it remains Zaragoza v Deportivo.

Yesterday the new season kicked off in Spain with the super cup.
I'm afraid this is going to be similarly boring as it was last year, with barca being crowned champions after 5 matchdays...
Make that even more boring of course, now that depor isnt there any longer.

Top 3: barca - RM - Valencia

Atletico?
