Soccer Transfer Roundup #1

Ever since the transfer window opened, many players have been switching clubs and finding new homes for when their transfer request goes through. Few players actually stay at the same club for their entire career, so it is always exciting to see where players end up going, but not always for the best reasons, including money or fame. These are just some of my thoughts about what's recently going on and I would love to hear from you guys that are soccer fans about where you think certain players will leave and go or if some players should stay at their current club. Here's the latest:

1. N'Golo Kante to Chelsea

The fact that N'Golo Kante had a strong summer with his French National team side making it to the final, but was suspended in the quarter final leg against Iceland, which France thankfully triumphantly won without him 5 goals to a lesser 2 Iceland side. Pre-season and the International Champions Cup later this summer, beginning on July 27th for Chelsea against Liverpool in California, will only tell if Kante will be able to get in the very strong Chelsea first team squad for this 30 million Euros signing. A good way of telling if he will fit will be to watch this game and see if he rises to the occasion, which I think he will because of also his strong Leicester side that won the Barclays Premier League this past season.

2. Zlatan Ibrahimovic to Manchester United

Ibrahimovic has made big strides in the football world, especially at Paris Saint Germain, which was surprising when he left the strong French club for the British powerhouse of a club, Manchester United, which has seen Wayne Rooney struggling this past season. Zlatan Ibrahimovic has played for other powerhouse clubs and been successful, such as AC Milan, Inter Milan, FC Barcelona, and Juventus. I think with this signing, other players, such as Martial, Herrera and Rooney, will have to fight for a spot on the team lineup. There have been also reports of Juan Mata leaving because of the newly appointed manager Jose Mourino, not taking a liking to him ever since he was at Chelsea.

3. Sadio Mane to Liverpool

Mane had a strong season with Southampton, making it a pivotal side to be reckoned with, and definitely showed that against Liverpool this past season. The pacey center fielder really worked hard on and off the ball to score pivotal goals for his club. Jurgen Klopp formed a strong connection with him this past season, so it only makes sense that he would move to the historical Anfield, where hopefully he will earn a first team player spot with hard-work and dedication. As I said before, we will see if he plays at Liverpool's next preseason game against Chelsea in Pasadena, California.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
