I get that but what is the point in the best German talent staying in the league if the majority of it is concentrated at a single club and they have a monopoly? Kane is a good point but he played for a side that is not even close to the biggest on the park or financially in the PL. Not to...

Yeah you find that when one team has an almost monopoly in an entire league, either on the park or financially. In the 90s and early 2000s United used to take the better players from their rivals/other sides too (Cantona, Cole, Rio, Rooney etc)

I'd say Liverpool are a better team than Bayern right now too, although both very good and either can win in a head to head game. Wirtz going there should in theory strengthen them even more, if he fulfils his potential.

Even though I played devil's advocate the other day, I feel more confident he can fulfil his potential going to a club like Liverpool rather than Arsenal or Chelsea or Man United (yes I know they weren't in for him really, but just making a general point). Liverpool generally are sensible and...

Yeah that is what I am getting at with my post too. There's varying ways to do it. I do feel Lamine Yamal needs more rest next season in less important matches that are winnable without him. You don't want him burning out by the time he's 23. Will he get it? Who knows. But a new LW would help...

That's why I am surprised Lamine didn't get more rest time (in less important games) because he is young and shouldn't be overused, and Raphinha can seemlessly slot in over there while someone else can fill in on LW. A player who can play both wings - cutting in on strong foot on one and being...

Good post. I would say Marmoush could take the next step to world-class LW. He can really play all along the front line, LW, number 10 and number 9. Think he could be really good for them coming in from the left in the long run. Overall though that's an interesting post. Many people say that...

On second paragraph, yeah it's a risk. Generally the player has to have the right ability and mentality himself. There needs to be a baseline. Coaches aren't miracle workers. They can improve players but they won't have averagely talented footballers playing like a world-class player, most of...

GK and striker are areas to strengthen too in my opinion. As I said in the priority transfer thread. I know some people are happy with Tek and Lewy (and Ferran as backup), but I wouldn't be so sure. Of course with finances as they are only so much can be done.

Lol fuck sake. That's a controversial post. Funny though.

Diaz could be fine as a rotation option, maybe he could do a Raphinha and improve his level, but that doesn't happen that often. With Flick's coaching as you say maybe he can get him playing better than ever. The overall point is this is why these guys are coaches or sporting directors and are...

'diehard' lol. Knows absolutely nothing about the club pre PL era. Probably more like pre 2005.

A lot more to football than stats. For example Rashford has very good stats, but what that doesn't tell you is how streaky he is and how he goes ages getting no stats then scores 10 goals in 10 games (see his best goalscoring season). And also how bad his general play is even when getting those...

Here's what I am sitting on for the last round. I am just not sure about plenty of them though

A genius. Shame he played for those cunts but nobody is perfect.

Norwich were the ultimate yo-yo club for a while, but they haven't been promoted for several years.

Just checked. Last weekend I only got 2/9 right (did say I suck when all games kick off at same time) and dropped 17 places in the world to 32nd I think it is. That's where I finished. I also lost the lead in the UK and lost by one point and finished second, I am sure I had a lead of about 5...

No point watching football anymore guys, just count up how many goals someone has at the end of the season and decide from there. Some people watch football on wikipedia, not at the stadium or on TV. (y)

Rassvet, Tempt was the one who got extremely upset over a harmless joke. He's very insecure about his Liverpool supporting and his alleged ethnicity. Also, you saw me extending an olive branch to him many times. He didn't wanna know Also I never intended to use Redcafe. I was a hit and run...

Bear in mind I have been reading this idiot's nonsense for years, as I lurked for several years before posting. Years before he knew I existed. And I only posted originally because he copy pasted a Ronaldo rant I wrote on Redcafe. The guy has ALWAYS been an obnoxious idiot. Long before I showed...
