What happened to Umtiti, same thing. The same thing also happened to Bale, I can guarantee to you that he'll be off first thing tomorrow if you pay him the remaining fee of his contract. It's all about the money, even Boateng would've refused to leave if we gave him a massive contract for 2...

I'm not even mad at Braithwaite cause he's only doing the sensible thing for himself, which is to collect the guaranteed money from the contract he signed. Who knows, he might've invested it in some business. At least this would teach Barca to do their homework before signing any player, cause...

Not every club sells successfully, Madrid couldn't sell Isco, Bale and they all left on free this season. PSG are struggling to sell their players (Neymar clearly refused to go and is now performing well) and would end up loaning some, so it's challenging to sell players when the other club...

That day won't come anytime soon, cause most contracts are currently playercentric the way business is customer centric so you gotta pay him out if you want him out before his contract expires, same thing applies when coaches are sacked.

I wouldn't really blame Mbappe for the penalty incident until we get more info, now if Mbappe is the assigned primary penalty taker, then Neymar is clearly at fault cause it's at the assigned primary penalty taker discretion to give the penalty out even if they missed a previous one. On the...

it's all connected, you need to offer elite-level players massive wages to sign them if you're no more a constant CL team. And if De Jong is willing to join them, then they should offer him whatever cause their midfield is currently in shambles.

Kessie wasn't able to pass the ball from midfield yesterday and kept on passing backwards, he was also easily dispossessed. If this repeats itself again next week, we'll have to move on

I just hope all plans to sell De Jong has now been destroyed, thank goodness for this reality check

He misses many for Bayern, but they create so many chances for him and understand him there. It'll take some time for the team to understand him here and I'm not sure we'll be creating as much chances for him as bayern did.

That passing has been pretty consistent since he started at Vitoria de Guitars in 2016 so don't expect it to change. It isn't that bad though as he tends to take risks with many of his long passes, and isn't one of those guys to get 80% pass conpleted

He's still better than the alternatives, and that's what matters, if we had better midfielders, then it would be a different conversation but he's better than Kessie and Gavi in any of those roles. Don't forget that Xavi made the same mistake of benching Frenkie against Frankfurt and you saw how...

he created 5 chances according to fotmob and whoscored, then Raphinha, Pedri plus De Jong created 2 chances each. I remember him creating a shooting chance for Fati, and Raphinha off the top of my head

Yeah, was the highest-rated forward for the game and created the most chances also, still a poor performance though. The news is that he was seen touching the back of his thigh, hopefully, it's nothing serious.

They also have to consider his footballing ability, can't leave us with Kessie. That would be horrible

But the other midfielders we have still facilitate play from midfield, but he was just giving back passes most times in midfield, but it's his first official game so I'll wait and see his performance in other games

Well Dembele created the most chances in this game, though he still had a poor performance.

He doesn't really facilitate play as a midfielder. he's more interested in getting into goal-scoring chances than doing his main work as a midfielder, just his first game though but clearly not the level of midfielder we want starting here

He should start the next game, no need to deceive ourselves cause it's evident that he's one of our best midfielders.

This is spot on, especially with the finishing, and buildup play.

Would be stupid to sell him and leave Kessie here, he's miles above Kessie and offers something unique. Far better than Gavi also
