Well, you do not need to carry your calculators yet, but if you will, do the math using the current exchange rate (in your local currency)and please, keep the figures to yourself...this is what modern football is...remember Paul Pogba? Gareth Bale has just hit another record, replacing Ronaldo as Real Madrid highest paid player ever!! with his new six year deal, worth £600,000 a week...yes a week!  and €1billion buy-out clause Bale will take home approximately £350,00-a-week after tax – more than Ronald’s current wage of £290,000. Toshack said: “I see a Real Madrid enjoying Bale at the top of his game for two or three years. I believe Bale will win the Ballon d’Or in his career. In a few years, he will become the leader.”

After series of poor games and dropping down bottom of the EPL table log to 8th, Manchester United manager, Jose Mourinho has thought it wise to call back his "outcast" Bastain Swhweinsteiger back to the first team. The red Devil are 8 points from the league leader and city rival, Manchester City, and 7points from the Top four. Given the red card suffered by Andre Herrera, and the difficulties the Manchester United's midfield  are facing, it is only wise to call back the experienced German international to fill in the gap, and give the team what is lacking.  He might be lacking in pace, but he sure knows how the game is played, and statistics shows is better compared to what United are currently using in the midfield.

Jamie Redknapp for me, has said it all, and i re member former Manchester United manager, Sir Alex, naming the former Leicester city Midfielder, N'Golo Kante as his best player for last season, for reasons United fans and board now sees...lol   The common thing Jose Mourinho and United board would have done, was to look at his performance last season, then sign him on to the team, after such a statement from the most successful coach in the English Premier league, if not the world. Kante cost Chelsea just £30million   from Leicester City after winning the league title with the Foxes, and thus far, i doubt if the Chelsea board are not happy,they made the move to sign the French man, who has given the club a new life, since coming in. According to media source, Kante revealed at the start of the season that he spoke with Mourinho about a move to Old Trafford before opting for west London, but did not give details of what went down, and why he did not sign for Mourinho...

Reports from France suggest that PSG play-maker, Verratti, is keen at taking a go at the Premier League, if things does not change at his present club PSG.

After a poor start to his return to Manchester United, Paul Pogba could be converted to a central defender by his manager, Jose Mourinho. Jose Mourinho who came heavily on his players after their defeat at Chelsea, has come to the defence of his  player, Pogba saying the problem with the star is not position and he could be ‘phenomenal central defender’ if converted...Jose Mourinho said: ‘He’s a top player and I think he could be a phenomenal central defender,’ he continued: ‘With the quality of his pass, with his aerial game, with his agility in such a big body, for his defensive side of the game, coming from the back with the ball, he would be a phenomenal central defender, too.

The troops are to station at the Estonia border with Russia, alongside thousands of NATO troops already deployed to other surrounding borders with Russia.

This announcement which is heavily backed by NATO could hinder Russia’s bombing campaign in Syria Aleppo. Speaking on this, the Defence Secretary, Sir Michael Fallon said ‘we would be extremely concerned if a NATO member should consider assisting a Russian carrier group that might end up bombing Syria’.
