IIRC wasn’t his problem he never could get a work permit in the UK ?
Yes, that was it. Germany is super liberal with immigration regulations (they even let me in!). I guess the irony is now that he's getting call-ups to the Super Eagles, he'd be more likely to get one. But he wouldn't get call-ups until he performed at the club level. Union got what seems an amazing deal (only 6.5 million euros for a guy that already has 11 goals this year in all competitions), but they probably had Liverpool a bit over a barrel too.

Sancho just rotting on the bench. Top level EPL clubs are like roach motels to kill promising young careers

I don’t even have a joke. That’s fucking shameful.
Keita has been kicked in the head and spiked in the ankle.

I love Lee trying to become a stats guy but can’t get it quite right.

there was an interesting article in the Athletic this week about defending those long cross field free kicks. Many teams (in Serie A) are abandoning the high line in favour of pulling everyone into the box. It has its advantages (defenders seeing and reacting to the ball first .. and it’s disadvantages .. exposing acres of space wide)

California. Duh.
They're really should be a few minutes of stoppage time, but it wouldn't surprise me if they just blow the whistle at 90.

EDIT: They added 3, which is less than there really should have been.

Ole's face was so devoid of colour in that last shot, he looked like he's just been dug up.

And now he's got to face the press.
