I'm so happy we had 10 minutes of fucking extra time for no reason and he gets injured at the end of it. We legit have the worst luck with young players possible.

Tah is turning 29 in February. 20mil being quoted, we'd better hope he plays well in his 30s.

It's a tough call to make. Flick doesn't seem to trust Forte and Valle went on loan. There are only question marks regarding Martin. Then again our LW is Torres, and Fati if he can stay healthy. Chiesa may be an upgrade at LW, but I doubt whatever we can bring in at RB on loan will be much...

I think Flick for sure figured the wingers isolated out wide on both sides was ineffective, particularly with Raphinha. He's doing a good job so far playing the players to their strengths. I'm hoping he cooks up something good once all or most our players are healthy.

You're missing the point. I'm perfectly aware he was played out wide that season. My point is he was mostly ineffective WHEN out wide, and when actually securing us those points with key actions it was not from out wide- not from a wide dribble, not from winning a 1 vs 1 out wide etc It was...

When you recall many of his crucial plays that season, where were they done from? Towards the middle of the park and closer to goal, or out wide? He was not clutch from out wide and was mostly useless there. This is not debatable. Just because it says RW or LW on the line up sheet doesn't mean...

He will, but that's not where he's best utilized which is a waste.

Pointing out Xavi bought the wrong player to play as a wide winger, which he did, is different than saying he's a bad player or disliking him. I said he suits playing as an AM since he can't dribble or beat opponents wide 1 vs 1. His lungs are better utilized there too where he can press several...

To be fair, I was also saying this for a very, very long time haha

Good thing we just bought Olmo for 60 mil who is best in that position amIrite?!

Xavi would of parked the bus for the 1-0 win after we scored the first goal. Not even joking lol He did it several times last season and shifted the momentum by allowing them to inflict all the pressure.

Yup, better than 99% of games under Xavi for sure.

The bar is set so low, not being absolutely awful is considered "good" now.

Everyone freaking out now but as I said last season, he's very young and has done nothing to prove he deserves to be a starting CB for a top team. He had a few good performances but he was also shaky as the season went on. He is promising, but that is all he is. Don't crucify the kid when all...

The only positive would be that it forces out Torres, but knowing him he'd just stay again and say "I want to fight for my place" for the 3rd year in a row.

Considering Chelsea spent 230mil on Enzo and Caicedo to play similar roles, 32mil seems like a steal.

Coman will likely demand a much higher wage than Chiesa. I've always liked Chiesa, if he comes for 7-10mil and low wages I'm okay with it. He's young enough and Italian so we can always send him back to Italy for what we paid or a little profit. In an ideal world, we'd loan him and sign Nico...

Like I said earlier, you simply don't understand roles in a team. We won the CL that first year and Rakitic played a vital part in it. Not going to waste anymore time on you, bud. The way you write and express yourself tells me everything I need to know about your IQ.

The more I've watched Pedri over the past few seasons, limited as it may be due to injuries, the more I've been convinced he shouldn't be anywhere near an AM role. He's just not a very progressive player with the ball and Gavi even less so. Relying on one of them to be the creator with a pivot...

This is the best option for RIGHT NOW, I agree, but not for long term. If he has a stinker or gets injured at Betis, absolutely no one will want him. I think selling for 25mil and taking a 5mil-ish loss now is best for us long term. Even if he has a decent season in Betis, the buyers who'd be...
