Everyone that has stepped into a gym knows chest press...you guessed it, isolates chest and triceps secondarily. No one is saying he has to lift really heavy and look like Arnold. What I'm saying is chest pressing a barbell of 65lbs as a young, athletic early 20s male is laughable. It really is...

You are a sad, toxic little man. Projecting onto others aren't ya buddy.

It is to us.

Portuguese clubs don't sell cheap. But if they put him on the market, there will be a dozen suitors willing to pay 40-50mil. Not Barca, but half the EPL will be trying. Some strikers don't peak until their prime, some burn out by 23. I'd be wary of us signing someone only after 1 excellent...

He's turning 28 in a few weeks. 20-30mil for a 28 year old with one year left on his contract would be a disaster.

We aren't buying anyone for 100mil anytime soon. Hell, we aren't buying a player for 70mil either.

Who knows. Historically trainers have suggested high rep sets as preferable for endurance training and lower rep, heavier lifting for strength building. For a professional athlete who's job it is to eat healthy and train, he should be doing both with cardio as an obvious given. I wasn't trying...

Anyone watch a lot of Sporting? Lots of fellas at the Portuguese clubs here singing him praise. His stats this season were exceptional and it looks like was also good for Coventry as well. Interesting profile, modern forward that can dribble. Looks like Sporting broke their transfer fee record...

When I was that age I was benching 135lbs as a warmup set, was like air. My girl does 5kg plates now and we are in our 30s LOL

Yea, I agree. Even with the example you provided, Felix is an exceptionally gifted player but only shows it 1/5th of the time. He is also not a player who makes up for not showcasing his talent more via pressing, effort and grit. He either makes something happen with his talent or blends in with...

I mean, almost everything he said was mentioned with sound reasoning. Except him believing Eric might come back and not be trash. That aint happening. But everything else was kind of spot on.

I would play him hard during preseason and tell him this is where you earn to stay or not, show us what you got. If he doesn't shine, loan or sell if anyone wants him. Sounds unfair to the kid since our surgeons essentially fucked him, but it is what it is.

Just another reminder that Xavi requested this bum for 65mil vs all the other bright talents of his generation. Feels. Bad. Man.

We have an excellent team and have used more funds in the past 2 seasons than other teams in La Liga have spent in a decade. We have played unattractive and disorganized football, the worst in decades under Xavi. On top of it, we squeaked by last season on many close wins, frequenting 1-0, 2-1...

Like any company or social structure, good leadership starts at the top. Xavi has a lot of influence on the mentality of the players, especially the younger ones. You can't simply ignore that.

I agree. I've always liked Araujo but the temperament he displayed this season has been dreadful and embarrassing. It's like Xavi's whining and childish behavior rubbed off on the squad. He 100% had no one to blame but himself for his mistakes. A real man, and future captain especially, would...

I'd take 25mil and a bag of marbles and be overwhelmed with joy.

"Frimpong has pace, dribbling and balls. He can beat defenders and get into the box. We havent had that since early Alves. Meunier is already 30 and he's average going forward and not great defensively. Flushing money down the toilet. At least you get someone who is effective going forward...

This seems like a decent way to go about it. Araujo had an off year for sure, but unless Chadi has a lot of speed I'm unaware of, we'd be missing a CB with pace and that's the one thing Araujo gave us that is invaluable. He bailed us out a lot with that speed in the past, despite his poor form...

Brighton just confirmed that De Zerbi is leaving and is going to be a free agent. He's used to having a limited budget, developing youth and has an attacking philosophy. I remain hopeful that this why suddenly Xavi is in question in the media again.
