You know dembele waited to become a free agent, and later signed a short contract with us. So I suspect he was waiting for a handsome offer and didn't get it, like I think he would've signed with them if they offered him the same contract as Sterling with nice bonus, but they were busy chasing...

I don't think Alonso is even better than Alba, Alba must've done something to piss them up with this Alonso potential signing

Neymar's number isn't padded, he's just that good. Take away his appearances and g/a in the Brazilian league and you'll see that he still has over 0.8 G + A. He has 8 g/a in 10 world cup appearances alone and he has actually been pretty consistent with his numbers and injuries.

Trans do, and I hope the media respects his personal life.

They actually need more quality forwards, which is why I don't get why they didn't go all in for Dembele (Man was free and basically waiting for bigger money, compared to Raphinha who had his full focus on Barca) as he would've greatly improved their squad, Auba would also be an improvement. I...

Dembele with his average at best IQ is currently starting games with the number of quality forwards we have around, he also had the league's highest assist last season and currently has the highest assist in top 5 leagues in 2022. But the players with the out-of-this-world IQ are being shipped...

Nah, it's Athletico robbing us, especially with the current inflation in transfer prices

His positioning would always be poor cause he overlaps as a wingback without getting support and it's not as if he's asked only to defend, watch how our wingers support the wingbacks now and it's night and day to what we had before. I bet that even Kyle Walker or Cancelo would've been caught out...

True, he was just unlucky that Di Maria got injured in 2014 world cup.

Didn't have a preseason so it'll take some time for him to get up to speed.

thing is Raphinha, Dembele and Lewandoski are Xavi's preferred front three but two of the three excel at rw so he may have to bench one of Dembele or Raphinha

He doesn't target birds with his shots anymore, though rw is the best wing for him and Raphinha

They make so much money in EPL now, so expect more crazy transfer fees. This is also why I said 80m for De Jong to the premier league is cheap. The 20th-placed team (Norwich) in EPL last season earned 100.3m as their prize money, which is close to what Ajax made last season even after finishing...

Turned out to be worse than Semedo, and I feel Semedo was judged harshly after being manhandled by Alphonso Davies who in all fairness manhandles rb on a norm (Semedo had it worse as he didn't really get any support in the rw)

Won't be surprised to later hear that it was another deferral next year.

Point is that Bayern is strong and has been firing on all front so far this season, they lost to Frankfurt last season and won them by a goal in the other leg.

Nah, Benzema plays a big role in this Madrid side. They definitely won't have overturn PSG without him

The same Bayern that recently trashed Frankfurt (6 -1 ). This same Frankfurt lost 2-0 to Madrid but were completely dominated by Bayern. Bayern game would be massive, and be a real test of our strengths. We'll need a quick and agile midfield against them

He probably saw the UCL draw and wants to escape :lol:, It's the toughest group and we'll need all the help we can get, so Frenkie has to stay. I hope Busquets doesn't get overrun against Bayern.

It actually doesn't really do anything, Kevin Boateng would've behaved in a similar way to Braithwaite if he had a long contract. The main party that needs to learn a lesson here is Barca, so they think critically before giving players contract cause they'll end up in the same situation if...
