Looks better than last season. Seems to have improved his first touch, spatial and teammate awareness and game intelligence. Gives the ball away a lot less. ( Although, he has come on to see games out so far ). Dribblng and passing are also improving nicely and are at a far higher level than...

You just have to take the rough with the smooth with him and accept that there is going to be a hell of a lot of rough like there was today. We simply don't have any other option. The moment you are desperate for him to be subbed, yet again, he sniffs out another goal ( this time ruled out...

No way can we rely on him as a back up for that left hand side. We have a defensive right back, so our left back has to be on the front foot and attack and Gerard Martin had a nightmare going forward and on the ball. May work as a defensive left back if Jules plays central and we play an...

Just wanted to give a shout-out to this guys attitude. He has been the best player in the first two games, playing centrally, and as soon as Olmo came in he was shunted out of position at left wing again. But he didn't complain, or feel sorry for himself, or throw his toys out of the pram like...

Such a shame, as this was the performance where you knew he would be a star. Up to now it's been " He is going to be good, but how good I'm not sure.". But today, I thought he was the best player on the pitch. The day another La Masia rabbit was confirmed to have been pulled out of the hat...

People here will forget about this by the end of the season and will be telling everyone how great Madrid are with their 'Monster Mentality'. Just like they did last season, even after the Almeria scandal and all the other robberies along the way. A league more corrupt and adulterated than...

This was such an unnecessary transfer ................... Unless he plays like that every other week ! Definitely the best 45 minute debut I've ever seen. He was magical with everything he did and carried the team on his shoulders. I will say this now, and people can quote me at the end...

Plot Twist : Former enemies Gerard ' The Chin ' Pique and Sammy ' La Pulga ' Gravano team up to take out Joan ' The Dapper Don ' Laporta.

Agree with the first part. Second part I'm not so sure. Koeman was a hell of a player and is massively underrated by Barca fans and the general footballing community. Koeman would easily be amongst the Top10 centre back of all time.

Wammy, word of advice. If you step in dogshit, it is best to throw away the shoe, rather than spending hours trying to clean it. Because the stain and stench ain't going away. Unfortunately, by saying money upfront isn't better than spreading it ( if no extra cost is involved ) you have not...

Has he consulted Dominos about this? :benitez:

That's exactly what I've said. You are the one who initially disagreed with that. They are 100 percent paying less. They are not stupid enough to pay up 150m Euros years early for no reason. How much they are saving would be interesting to know. I suspect as much around 5 percent. So...

Of course it is. Nike are not paying up 150m millions early, unless there is a significant incentive for them. And that incentive will be that the 150m is a smaller fee than would have been if spread over numerous years. Do you know how much money on interest alone you can make on 150m...

He is back in full training and with a new hairstyle. Ladies and gentlemen, I give you .... FRENKIE PING PONG.

Worse than what his injury did to his body, is what it did to his mind. He could have the talent of Maradona, but with his mindset, you would never get to see it. No drive, No bravery, Playing within himself, Scared to get injured. He needs to come to that realisation that he needs to...

2nd week of Thiago Motta masterclass in a row. Making relatively average, unknown players play as a top team. As well as Flick has started, there is still a part of me that regrets Motta not being our new manager.

Everyone has weaknesses. Nobody is perfect. Don Pique brings a hell of a lot to the table, though. The connections. The business acumen. ( Kings League ) An alpha mindset. We keep getting cucked over in transfer negotiations and player contracts. This ends with Don Pique. Corruption or...

The year before they bought Bell, they spent 120m on Tchou, yet you say they were quite conservative. They also had the highest net spend in Europe the year before COVID ( Hazard, Vini, Militao plus more ). Strong and 'healthy' way going in to the biggest pandemic of our lives. You say that...

Explain this to me. How can Real Madrid have a higher net spend than every other non EPL club, bar PSG, post COVID, almost put together ? The austerity seen by clubs all around Europe has been unprecedented, included by all clubs with ' healthy ' finances. Bayern, (as well run as any club...
