    Kylian Muppet

    I could see him surpassing Neymar in a year or two. Far more effective and relentless attacker for his age compared to Ney, easily the better IQ. He's in a position to be one of the best ever when it's all said and done. On pace to be amongst the top all time scorers in both CL and the World...

    Ivan Rakitić

    BBZ8800 I was careful in my wording there, because contrary to what you think, I do not believe Thiago is better defensively than Rakitic. I said more defensive actions than Rakitic (where he truly has been near Vidal at some points). Nor do I believe dribble completion is the 'tell all' of a...

    Paulinho

    Looking at the James deal, all recent reports says that he "hopes" to stay there (i.e hopes they exercise the option) and the Bayern execs essentially saying they will. So you were right that they had the choice to in this case. Whereas on the Mbappe deal, it doesn't seem like it was ever an...

    Paulinho

    If the wording/agreement is the same as the one Bayern made for James or PSG for Mbappe (who also had loans with 'purchase options' at the end IIRC) then it is essentially a purchase with the fee delayed by a year. You'd have to compare the details of the 3 cases (or similar ones) to know for...

    Ivan Rakitić

    Thiago was a starter for Spain until Hierro took over. Unprecedented circumstances and it was clear that Koke was a worse choice than Thiago every game. For Bayern he was the best player in the Sevilla series and easily the biggest reason they advanced, then the 3rd best player against RM...

    Ivan Rakitić

    Hahaha yeah after all I'm the one who called the best player in the Bundesliga in 16/17 "a bench player". That sentence alone speaks volumes about your opinion, and then you go hide behind "but coaches decisions" when you don't want to bring an argument of your own to the table. Not to mention...

    This entire post is a joke, right?

    Adrien Rabiot

    Where exactly did you get this belief that Thiago or Arthur lack energy and defensive hustle? Arthur has question marks because he still has to adapt to Europe but in the context of his play for Gremio that was one of the more notable parts of his game. And Modric is extremely mobile and has...

    Barca Transfers and Rumors

    Dybala and Higuain are overrated. This is a league where a 36 year old Luca Toni was top scorer a few years ago lmfao. Dybala/Higuain getting 20+ isn't eye-catching at all to me. I expect Ronaldo to score at a level akin to his prime years in the league at like 35-40+ goals going full blown...

    Should Messi retire from Argentina?

    Argentina is not gonna get their shit together by next year. They don't have the talent in the roster nor the foresight to do so. If Arthur becomes a very good player for us it's game over for anyone but Brazil in the Copa, only MAYBE Colombia could challenge them. Messi retiring now means he...

    Adrien Rabiot

    Rabiot would not be a good fit at all IMO. Static, not really standout in any skills we need. Seems like he'd be a better Gomes. I'd rather drop 40-50 for De Jong now than get Rabiot and waste time with him (and he could also get in the way of Arthur).

    Willian

    That doesn't mean they can't be well backed by evidence or completely baseless... I believe that there are thousands of invisible dragons flying around the world right now that no one knows about. Not incorrect cause it's my opinion right? And there is little to say that he's consistent or...

    Willian

    What is your basis for these opinions??? Lol. You're wrong about the age and Modric has aged wonderfully so far which doesn't often happen. You also claimed he is very consistent which is just flat out false. And then now you're calling him a "fan favorite"?? What could possibly suggest he'd be...

    Harry Kane

    He is a pen god that much is certain. What he's got going for him is he seems to find ways to succeed and excel in spit of his shortcomings. Not too fast, not that great 1v1, but still adapts to game situations enough to make his impact. And he holds the line like a real 9 most of the time very...

    Yerry Mina

    I say he should start in the Supercup early in the season. If he does great and shows improvement in the right areas, keep him and sell Paulinho. If he does ok, loan him for a year. If he is terrible and shows the same weak ground defending, sell him for the biggest sum we can get. We should...

    Neymar Jr. - v5

    All I know is if Mbappe becomes an option at some point in the future we better throw all the money in the world at him. And get Umtiti/Dembele working overtime in recruitment.

    Yerry Mina

    A couple of months of some bad performances from Umtiti and all of you turn on him? Even the best defenders like Godin/Thiago Silva/Boateng have entire seasons of them getting embarrassed in big games regularly. CB's do not tend to be flawlessly consistent and for Umtiti to have been as perfect...

    World Cup 2018

    Of course the winner of the league is gonna be from that country....? Do you expect Bayern to win the EPL or something?

    Yerry Mina

    Doesn't have anything to do with Mina, but Mathieu starting in a CL QF singlehandedly fucked us :lol: it was a terrible decision, can't be used to justify anything else.
