6 Expensive Signings Currently Rotting On The Bench

Big European clubs have a large war chest to use for summer and winter transfers (usually). This massive amount of money is used to either fill a void left by a player leaving, add players to complement the current team or to improve squad depth.

Clint Dempsey Quote

It is challenging but the more positions you start to play and develop in as a player, the better you get and the more adaptable a player you can be to more teams.

Eden Hazard Quote

How Does A 31-Year-Old Messi Compare To Other Legends At That Age?

The debate as to which footballer, at the height of their powers, reigned supreme will rage until the end of time. Pelé as a teenager? Diego Maradona at 26? O Fenômeno at 21? Take your pick and you’ll find more than enough evidence to support your claim.

But there’s never been anything like the consistent dominance of Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo into their 30s. Yesterday, Messi notched his 400th league goal for Barcelona, making him sole-member of the club for players that’ve reached that milestone for one club in Europe’s top five leagues.
