OK, interesting analysis But 'Average age' is a highly misleading stat... All it takes is one very old fella like Lewa to skew the metric We better start looking at the 'median' age of the team as more indicative

Fina ball also. Look the 2nd graph

Hansi win idiot! He was the one who pushed for him, and convinced Fatporta and Leco to abandon other pursuits and wrap the deal up.

Only about Doku: When he can progress the ball like that AND CREATE right into the box, then I don't think he just 'flatters to deceive'... A top notch talent that can only become better...

And he was absent in the DECISIVE meeting. How fitting...

It is, I contribute my own pov on it. For instance, I don't consider Haaland anywhere close to WC. I do consider ALL of Allison, VVD, Salah, Wirtz and McAllister WC players Others might disagree It is what it is

Alright, Deco was not present in the decisive meeting that closed Rashford's transfer. Guy is a walking L

You haven't followed my posts in the Serie A thread the last 2 seasons. I had always been on the Reijnders train. Knew the guy already when he was at Alkmaar

True, my bad! Rodri (if he is his former self) - Reijnders is a truly WC duo deep As for the rest of the XI (all of them): Doku Savinho Marmoush are top (not yet WC), but all the rest are limited in different ways IMO. City at best have only 2 WC players, and another 3 elite players, in their...

Pep will not school anyone next season. He is currently far behind both Pool and ARsenal. On par with Chelsea IMO. No WC signing this summer, while losing WC players in KdB, and WC core of the past (Bernardo, Gundo) being old and dusted. Holes in defense and GK that are not filled Doku and...

'Hope' EXACTLY UTD can hope whatever they want. As we hoped to find buyers for Fati to cover his entire salary, or hoped the same for FDJ some time back, or NOW hoping the same for Stegen. We can only hope, as you say, but have no power or leverage in such situation. Same goes for UTD...

Maybe 50% is a stretch, but them playing 25% is bare minimum. Rich Aston Villa made UTD pay 25% last spring. Don't whitewash Deco's incompetence

Pool this summer: - Wirtz - Kerkez - Frimpong - Etikite done already with: - Guehi - Rodrygo - another attacker to follow soon. Of course they lost Jota, they lost Trent, they are selling Diaz and Nunez, and they might lost Konate to Madrid by the end of the window. But still an impressive...

They wanted him out on ANY conditions, as long as they could get rid of EVEN a fraction of his huge wages. You haven't followed the news at UTD the last year or so. No, we didn't try it, because we have a clueless softie as SD. If badass Allemany were still around, I could assure you he would...

You don't see the future, do you? We will exercise the option next summer, as he will kick some ass this season under Flick

Dude, BOTH the player AND the club wanted him out. Sends a message to whom?

Force UTD to cover at least 5m gross (if not more) of his wages. Force UTD to an even lower fee for the option to buy. That's ABC for an SD that has ALL the leverage in the negotiations, while his counterpart has 0 leverage

LMAOL, :lol: you have no clue right? Sending Rashford in the stands, while he still receives 19m gross, does nothing for them. You don't get foundational problem for them: They want to get rid of his wages... Stands is only a good tactic against players that neither want to leave nor to renew...

No, AGAIN: UTD have 0 cards in this case - Player up for sale, out of the plans ->depreciates his market value highly - Player on huge and 'out of the market' wages ->minimizes, if not eradicates, possible buyers - Player himself wanting to go - Player himself wanting to go ONLY to a specific...
