Hopefully the club has a good insurance on him for being injured all the time. He has never been able to play 5 matches succesfully without being injured.

The vote of Messi was either ridiculous as was Ronaldo's. What did CR7 do to been placed as second by Messi? de Ligt / de Jong are understandable from Ronaldo's point of view (he played them 3 times). Vote for Mbappe is crap, but somewhere understandable.

I would take a loss if that means Valverde get sacked, but as that will never happen and Barto will let the shitshow continue well into March'20 before firing him. So please give us a show, make sure the gap stays in reach for a title campaign in the end.

The FIFPro men's world XI is a joke with the season RM had; Marcelo was like horsesh*t last season, even lost his place in the starting eleven Sergio Ramos was definitely not one of the best in the world, and has a shit season with being eliminated in 1/8 Final. Pique, Vertonghen, Matip, Blind...

In possession maybe true, pressing without ball, hell no. This is the biggest difference, where we see Arthur & de Jong running and pressing, Rakitic would be running in slowmotion.

R.I.P.

Budgets too. 100m now won't be the same 100m in 3 years time...

I would like to see Ten Hag move to Barcelona, and Xavi to Ajax. It would be a far better test for Xavi's abilities to show his coaching talent on a young squad at Ajax. No coach will stay longer than 2-3 years at Barcelona, would be perfect timing for him.

Was playing more attacking yesterday on the Estonia - Netherlands game. Still dictated the pace, and had a good chemistry with Blind (Alba role).

Major part of the payroll increase is the extention of Messi's contract, in which a big sign fee was attached. Believe we will have a decrease of about 100-125m a year when Messi retires. So let's say we are now at 600m for the first squad on salary: Messi (100m), Suarez (40m), Busquets (20m)...

Just scored his first goal for Dutch National team. All praise to Valverde, playing him upfield :valverde:

Could not agree more. We have a gift in hands of a decent coach, but this slow turtle play we have to do is shit

PSG isn't at the top because this is showing the accumulated money spent since 1991. PSG only started spending madly in the past 5 years. Which you can still see in this graph because it shows up out of nowhere around 2014 and ends up close to the top. Post it again for net spending since QSI...

Dutch sources (most definitely 'Telegraaf') shouldn't be taken into account reading news about Ajax/Ten Hag. Their chief of sport is on a campaign against Ten Hag from the start, and will write nonsense just to get pressure on Ten Hag. Overmars, v.d Sar & senior squad members are all content...

Getting rid of Rakitic would mean a good deal. Let's just hope the loan of Dembele will be positive, because he can get back to a good level and increase his market value again. 125m is high, but I would welcome Ney back (against his mentioned 2017 pre-PSG salary) Next year we should sell...

500M on 5 years is nothing if you ask me for our club. We will always need to spend instead of earning on our transfer. We are the top of the pyramid, meaning expensive incoming transfers & low value outgoing. Our wage bill is more of a problem.

All the rest I agree

Agree on this. It's the perfect time to offload Dembele (and his wages) to PSG. The 3 forementioned guys did a good job against Betis, and they are perfect squad players. Why do we need to have 6# attackers on +15M wages, while 3# of them are not even having more impact than Rafinha or Perez...

He looked slugisch/tired in his movement to me. I think like 2-3 times in the game his direct opponent just turned away from him, in which he normally excels and takes over the ball. Not saying it was a bad game, because I believe he did a good job in covering empty spaces on the left side and...

Only Puig would be enough, as direct replacement of the FDJ role. Both of them have no place in the first 11, as Donny v.d. Beek & Daley Blind are secured of their role.
