'The moral obligation to take in as many people from Africa and the Middle East as possible vs. protecting the European societies against it's downfall as a result'. Interesting indeed, especially with the population explosion in Africa in the next 40 years in mind.

I know nothing about Pellegrino and his track record doesn't say much but at least it's not Frank de Boer. Good luck Mauricio!

PSV Eindhoven en Sparta Rotterdam from the Netherlands.

Btw, I read in the dutch newspaper De Telegraaf that Southampton has recently paid a bonus of 3 million euro's to Feyenoord as Clasie has met the targets which were agreed when he was sold to Saints. The total fee is now 15 million euro's (13,2 million pounds). I know this is peanuts for a PL club with all the tv-money coming in but still, it's a lot of money for a player who is usually a substitute. I also wonder about the targets, it appears that starting as a substitute was enough. Not a bad deal for Feyenoord.

Quite right, besides Robben there is no world class attacker available at this moment. Too bad there's no world class midfielder or defender either as van Dijk usually sends a lookalike to the national team, someone who makes mistakes you won't see from the real van Dijk... And Clasie would be better with the right kind of players around him but alas, he's not the kind of player a manager would built his team on like he could do with a player like Ziyech. Though I'm not certain anymore if the latter could make it in the PL either.

I agree, Clasie must be hoping for a manager like Frank de Boer who might give him more chances than Puel but I don't believe that Jordy will make it in the end. Wether it's lack of stamina, the pace of the game in the PL or him being a small guy, it's not going to work out for him and it would be better for him and the Saints to move to another ccompetition. Remarkable how many dutch players can't make it in the PL these days. Vincent Jansen, Eljero Elia, van Wolfswinkel, Steven Berghuis, Jordy Clasie... I reckon Davy Klaassen from Ajax will be next at Everton.

Sounds fair GM but the Junckers of the EU might think otherwise... Anyhow, the negotiations are going to be a mess and therefore entertaining to watch. Hopefully you won't have to bleed too much!

It would surely be a step backwards from Tuchel. I guess de Boer will be on the list and if I had to put my money on someone it would be him though I hope not.

Agreed, but you'll need long term prosperity to pay your debts to the EU...

Agreed, there are some who went there not to fight but to help the civilians and got disillusioned by what they saw. Some went because they believed it's mandatory for muslims to settle themselves in a caliphate as soon as this is possible. But as I understand the French Special Forces are hunting down the ones who are actively fighting for ISIS and in my opinion that's a good thing.

Nope, I'm not saying you should be more like the French. But trying to prevent the idiots from ISIS coming back to your country could be done in a more proactively way. Or do you want them to come back?

Or do it the French way: https://www.wsj.com/articles/frances-special-forces-hunt-french-militants-fighting-for-islamic-state-1496090116

Sanchez was terrific this season for Ajax, in the final against ManUtd he played one of his lesser games... However, in case he leaves Ajax this summer it won't be for Saints as there are many clubs already after him. Traore had a very poor season and was often ridiculed in Amsterdam. To be fair I should mention that he had to play as a right winger most of the games and that's not his cup of tea. I wouldn't like to see him play for Saints though, imo he's not up for the PL.

The Dutch news had an item about Southampton a year after the vote for Brexit. Good to see the port doing well, too bad to see the Polish people not feeling safe and the small businesses struggling to survive. The clip gives the impression that the conservatives will win big as the majority believes they're the right ones to negotiate with the EU. Any comments on this? http://nos.nl/nieuwsuur/artikel/2175591-een-jaar-na-de-brexit-er-zijn-nog-steeds-veel-polen-in-southampton.html?title=een-jaar-na-brexit-er-zijn-nog-steeds-veel-polen-in-southampton

Too bad Clinton won't be jailed but you can't have it all. Now, let's see what kind of f*ck ups Trump will present. Newt Gingrich, Steven Mnuchin (Goldman Sachs) and Carl Icahn as candidates for his cabinet is a nice start.

So you prefer someone with a long history of being corrupt, who accepted 25 million dollars from the Saudi's while she knew those same people funded ISIS and oppress women and gay people? Someone who made a mess out of Libya so now this country is probably doomed forever? I guess you're in desperate need of some c*nt Whelk...

Good pieces in The Guardian on what's wrong with the American establishment and the elite liberal media. I reckon all the stuff Wikileaks has published will open the eyes of many voters in the USA who'll use Trump to give those elites the finger. But will there be enough of them? https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2016/oct/31/the-podesta-emails-show-who-runs-america-and-how-they-do-it https://www.theguardian.com/media/2016/oct/13/liberal-media-bias-working-class-americans

Just another hoax to some idiots. Oh no, it's the Russians!

You don't have to go back that far to ridicule Trumps attempts to demonise Clinton:

On the other hand, with more than 2 minutes even the witch can be funny...

When he's got more than 2 minutes he can get his points across. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VN7cLyyJgGY#t=1039

I guess we can agree also that the next POTUS won't be the vulgar dude but the crooked b*tch. What a bad appearance again from Trump. It shouldn't be that difficult to let Clinton make a fool of herself by asking her some questions she couldn't prepare for. Clinton is good in memorising her lines but can't improvise. Well, we know at least Europe will have to face more trouble in the Middle East with Clinton as the new CIC. Hopefully we will be better prepared for refugees seeking shelter...

Thanks LVSaint but when he doesn't say anything about job growth or how Trump will handle the racial tension, it doesn't mean that the things he does mention are ********. Of course you can doubt the way Trump wants to "revive the economy" and it won't be that difficult to find 10 economists who will state that it's the worst plan ever. It won't be that hard to find 10 more economists who'll say it's the best plan too as economists usually challenge each other. So it's hard to say if Bonevac is talking ********. According to this article Bonevac mentioned (https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/post-nation/wp/2016/05/14/we-have-a-problem-homicides-are-up-again-this-year-in-more-than-two-dozen-major-u-s-cities/?tid=a_inl&utm_term=.25e23d494d41), the FBI Director states violent crime is up in the last 18 months. Why do you say this is ********? The destabilisation in the middle east and ISIS had nothing to do with the way Obama & Clinton operated? I'm sorry but that really is ********. Remarkably Bonevac didn't say anything about the Clinton Foundation. What do you think about the fact that the Clintons accepted 25 million from Saudi Arabia for this foundation while Hillary knew that the Saudi's were funding ISIS as the emails from Wikileaks showed? Shouldn't that be enough reason to say she's not the right person? Just for the sake of it: I'm no fan of Trump, I regard him as a vulgar and vain creature and I expect racial tension will increase with him at the helm. I find it appaling that Trump and Clinton are the candidates for the presidency, to me it shows the deplorable state of USA politics.

No, no, no, it's all a hoax, why don't you get it? You're quoting the wrong media!

This guy supports Trump so of course there has to be an awful lot of ******** in what he says. Would you care to point out which part is ******** according to you?
