If I were him, I’d avoid pre-season friendlies with English League Two teams. They tend to expose the level they’re really at.
Throw away CL football for Arsenal? If he goes it's only for money...you'd think the goons would have had enough of paying mega money and players putting their feet up
Genuine question: has Jamie Vardy not told Maddison that all he has to do is pretend he'll move to Arsenal and that guarantees Leicester will treble his wages overnight?

Okonkwo did make a mess of it, but yeah, the back pass from Cedric was horrible. It's not the first time he's done it for us, either. The game itself was very strange. A mix of experience, youth and fringe players. Dominated the ball, had a few good chances, but generally weren't particularly fluid or cohesive. I don't think it told us very much, though. A lot of the fringe players need to leave, the experienced players clearly just wanted to get their fitness up and it was a good experience for the youngsters. Still have so much to do and the season starts in just over a month.
So apparently one of Inter's nicknames is Il Biscione, after the blue viper on the coat of arms of the Duchy of Milan
Elseid Hysaj has upset the Nazio ultras after singing a famous anti-fascist song for his initiation. They've unveiled a banner reading, "Hysaj you worm, Lazio is fascist", which is lovely.
