Don't act like Liverpool are paupers. They spend a fortune too.

Yeah that's probably fair. He is a very good coach though, I said that myself. Definitely too good to basically retire to Saudi Arabia for money at his age.

To be fair Onana and Bayindir make him look like the love child of Neuer and Yashin :lol:

Hahaha yeah I assumed they'd be like that. They're an angry lot many of them. Yeah sounds like they're in a bit of a purgatory where they wanna knock down and rebuild but cannot because of politics. Hope you're doing well, always good to see you online. Sucked about the CL for Villa but I know...

Yeah was looking at that the other month. I wonder if they'll go with stadia from the traditional big Italian clubs, or give the smaller cities a chance. A lot depends on transport links, politics, money of course, lol, etc. Be cool if places like Cagliari, Genoa and Bologna get to be hosts...

But I acknowledge that I am on record as saying I feel a footballer should retire before he turns 40 - unless a goalkeeper. So maybe it's just my bias against old players lol. He probably can still contribute a little in the league there.

I suppose the good news is they only need 5 stadiums as they're splitting 50/50 with Turkey. They do have a lot of useable stadia that meet the capacity demands, even if they're not in the best condition.

Never been to Italy but a lot of people say it's an extremely corrupt country.

True, good point. But still feel maybe it's the wrong approach from them. I am surprised Milan want him. Even with a leadership and experience role, it's another player slot and wage to fill (though there's ample room in matchdays squads in Serie A for him, and he won't get paid much in a...

Surely though 49 is too young for a talented coach to go to SA. Hopefully we see him back in Europe in 2-3 years.

Milan are an absolutely finished club it seems. I take no pleasure in saying that as they were so special on the park with Sacchi, the three Dutchmen, Maldini, Costacurta, Baresi etc when I was growing up. But they have been hit hardest by the decline of Serie A financially as well as...

Does anyone want him? Lol.

He's 40 at the start of next season, absolutely love him as a player but surely he knows the gig is 99.9 percent up.

Ronaldo raging as his chance of finally winning a trophy there decreases even further.

Yeah let's stop derailing the thread. Goodnight, rest well.

Lol good one. Thought that was forgotten for now. I'd rather play in AM btw than CF, lol.

I think for some more conservative coaches, if you have Cafu or Alves on the right, you may want a more defensive/balanced player at left back (like Maldini). Though of course plenty of teams play two flying full backs and do excellently.

Good team. I would take out Cristiano Ronaldo too if looking for balance.

Yeah he's definitely up there and in with a shout of that. Though I would still go Cruyff or Beckenbauer myself. I'd say he's the second-best CF ever year, after R9. With Puskas, Muller, Eusebio and Romario next.
