Looking for gems from lesser covered leagues and clubs. I wouldn't object to something along the lines of Jordan Ayew's wondergoal vs West Ham which would have been a goal of the season contender and had documentaries made about it had he been wearing a Manchester United shirt.

This is one of mines.

If you showed someone who didn't know any better a 144p version of this with washed out colors and film grain they'd probably mistake it for a bit of magic from Zidane. Incredible.

Holy shit Yohan Gourcuff. What a throwback.

Personally my favorite goal was Henry vs United with the flick up volley since that was insane and got me hooked on the game.


My personal favorites come from Argentina though. How can you not like the passion


Kun Aguero's goal in their rivalry game against Racing was amazing too
 
This is the best overhead kick, and therefore best goal, ever scored


Conversely, this is clearly the best own goal ever scored, the skill and technique is phenomenal


Both are from the period of time before football became shit, can't pinpoint exactly when, but can ballpark it at around the time that Figo and Nedved retired.

I take that and raise you this beauty right here vvvvvvv


Doesn't touch the ground once. Pure class.

But seeing as we're talking about the best goals ever, nothing comes close to Di Canio's volley for West Ham.


I respect all your opinions. You just need to understand that it's okay to be wrong sometimes.

Laurent Giuly’s scissor kick for Monaco is a favourite of mine
 
Clasico's don't have the same draw power at the moment it once had. Nevertheless, funny to see that Real will still find a way to receive a thumping at home no matter what shape either club might be in.

And as fate would have it, it was Arsenal, one of Barca's favorite clubs to poach, that sent their deadwood to ironically become a spearhead in the revolution when things were looking dire.

Aw shit. The summer window is already going to be incredible to follow with all of the big names leaving on a free, is Dybala going to be added to that list?

What's the feeling around Juve with this situation at the moment @Hüftpriester @Topgallant ?

Personally I don't think Dybala goes, he did well last game coming back from a long series of injuries and he makes a good partner for Vlahovic, he's generally well liked by the fans too. Though the wages he's asking for are high I think it'd be a mistake to let him go.

That said, I also didn't think Juve would go out to Villarreal so take whatever I say with a pinch of salt 😄

Dybala will wind up in the premier league next year. Really great player but has trouble staying on the field. Juve is fed up with him and especially his agent. If your team signs him, go in to it expecting him to be on the field for 30% of the season. Anything above that is a bonus. But he has a lot of quality and is a difference maker when he’s out there.

Edit: While we're on the topic of great goals and Dybala, here's one that shows how deadly he can be with the left foot.

I have to go with Peter Crouch's goal against Man City when he was playing for Stoke:
The touch and the volley were both pretty much perfect, could watch it over and over again.

Looks like Juve will be looking to sign Raspadori then. Shame to let Dybala go, but its not the end of the world and it will be nice to have a few more Italians on the team again.

Raspadori seems like a natural replacement for Dybala. I'm not very familiar with him but he 's more of a central player than a winger, right? Since it looks like we're keeping Allegri but firing the rest of his coaching staff :story: I think Zaniolo will be the more ideal replacement to fit his preferred 4-3-3 formation. He's had bad injuries but is still only 22 and has looked good this year. I'd like to see a Chiesa-Vlahovic-Zaniolo front 3 next year.

It's looking like we're gonna bring in Jorginho as well. So the midfield will be Locatelli-Jorghinho-????. I hope we don't break the bank for Pogba, I'd rather see a youth player step into the first team. Fagioli has the potential to be a big time player and apparently has done well on loan this year. Miretti could also be an option. The most important thing is to retain De Ligt for a least a few more seasons. He is by far the best player in Serie A.
