There are two players you can buy. Both for around the same price. Player A Averages 9 g/a per league season. Doesn't bring anything that the team is severely lacking. Is not good enough to currently get in our first Xi. Could potentially be fitted in by having to move our LW ( where he as...

Man walks in to a Porsche showroom. " Excuse me, how much for the latest Porsche Carrera 911? ". " Base price is 70,000 Euros and it can potentially go up to 100,000 Euros depending on add ons. ". " Okay, but how much will be the price if I throw in my 1996 Skoda Octavia ? ". " Security...

Madre Mia, he looks as sharp as a tack. He played brilliantly. Looked dangerous every time he had the ball. It doesn't help that he has a cripple playing up top with him, when he needs pace and movement around him to get on the end of his through balls. He was basically playing alone. So...

It's hilarious how people here make out Bilbao are some sort of Leganes level, ultra defensive team in order to explain away his frankly pathetic goal contribution numbers. The facts are that Bilbao are no different than any other upper 2nd tier club in La Liga. At home, against the vast...

They are probably not done with their buying yet. 100m pound player every season post COVID. Hazard, Tchouameni, Jude, Mbappe. Trent, Huijsen, Argentinian wonder kid, Budimir ........ 165m net spend and counting. Meanwhile, the team that spanked them, swept up all the trophies and...

130 league games in the past 4 seasons for Bilbao. 16 goals , 20 assists. So he averages 4 goals and 5 assists per season, for a perennial Top 4 chasing side in La Liga. That means he plays on the stronger side in around 80 percent of his games, so let's not talk about how he is struggling...

Look at the company my boy is in. 3 of the Top 4 greatest footballers in history ! And he has more assists than them ALL ! Madre Mia, Mahrez !

I have given up caring about our image, since nothing we do will change it in the eyes of other fanbases anyway. This season we have played the most attacking, entertaining football in Europe, fighting against monumental corruption on a domestic level, and all without spending any money and...

Because Chelsea under Mou was one of Liverpool's great rivals. Basically, Utd, Everton, then Chelsea. If Trent was to go to one of them clubs, they probably would threaten him. Trent is going abroad, and everyone seems to have bought the smoke he is selling that he is moving for his career...

Gerard is in and around the gangsters scene in Liverpool. Has been all his life. He knows many of them personally and grew up amongst them. Would have probably been in a gang himself if he wasn't a footballer. The gangsters in Liverpool have tremendous power, more than gangsters from other...

Yes, that is true. He wanted to leave to go to Mou's Chelsea but gangsters in Liverpool threatened to hurt him badly if he did. And it wasn't an idle threat. Gangsters in Liverpool are well known as the most hardcore in England.

Signing mercenaries never ends well. They don't play for the badge, they play for themselves. Trent will try to get away with doing the least defensive work possible without raising excessive criticism. If we'd offered him a huge signing on fee he would probably be here, for instance. But...

To be effective at 37 you need to have a great mentality and great technique and he has both in abundance. Some of the goals he has scored in the past few years have been of absolute outrageous quality. Could have the same sort of effect as his teammate Luuk did. I'm all for it, given the...

Yup. That's the problem. Best comparison for Cherki is Hatem Ben Arfa. Infact Ben Arfa was much more talented than Cherki. And that will be the level Cherki gets to in his career. Ben Arfa level. Never good enough for a top club. Always a tier below. ( Newcastle, Lille, Rennes, Nice etc ).

Exactly, bro. I think it's a difference in culture. North American fans are there to grab a popcorn and watch great athletes compete against each other. Over here in Europe, we see our football as almost going back to our caveman days. For 90 minutes we want to get our aggression out in a...

Dortmund are not doing anything differently than any other club in Germany. The Buli has low ticket prices across the board, so Dortmund aren't really a relevant example. They aren't even the kings of atmosphere in Germany anyway, it's Frankfurt and no better example of fan power effecting...

He will be a hit in the EPL, because let's face it, the EPL is pretty much a pub league and not much difficult to score in than the Buli is. But at 150m you expect a player to make the difference in Top end UCL fixtures against the likes of Real, Barca and PSG. Are we going to be watching...

Atmosphere in the stadium is worth a lot more than sentiment. If we had a vociferous stadium we would have beaten Inter and played a UCL final at least. How much would that have made us? This is what is so stupid about this whole situation. Real football people know that losing ticket...

I'd have R9 on my UFO as well, but no others than those 3. Would you not?

They should at least make a singing section with cheap tickets for local fans. It's pretty embarrassing if they don't, since this is what most clubs in Spain do, especially in the Basque region. Just to keep the atmosphere throughout the stadium going. PSG have some of the loudest fans in...
