I thought so with every Clasico last season after we beat them badly and they kept getting drubbings :lol:
So far I don't think Real addressed their weaknesses well.
Disagree, price is steep but better than throwing away the season. Still haven't heard one viable alternative (and I am not a big fan of Rashford either).
Our La Masia output was pretty shit when we were in the 2nd division. Could be a coincidence as the sample size is just too small though.
Generally I have the feeling the level doesn't matter when developing players until age 18-20 or so. After that they are either already good enough to make...
Just watched some highlights and the goal he scored against us... fucking hell Stegen... this guy will haunt me for years to come :facepalm:
Not too comfortable with Birdy hyping Rashford to be honest :lol:
Pretty sensible to cut down the number of kids. We have pretty much our whole first team+signings available.... can't remember the last time this was the case.
I definitely rate him more than these two if that's any consolation for you, but I suspect you just chose to be miserable again. This transfer is hardly the end of the world and pretty much without alternative unfortuantely.
We are talking forward #4 or #5 here for now.
Also it hardly matters. The obvious transfers are done, Deco needs to uncover some gems now. I imagine we will sign 1 or 2 more low profile players.. maybe that Argentinean CB for example.
