Odds are you and most in here are talking out of your asses just because. I get it you lot have grown tired of the same starter at GK and think he should've done better in Europe(which I'm not even arguing against). But at the end of the day, he is one of the top GKs in the league and in the...
Would be the right time to sell, if we get a decent amount. At least 50M and upwards.
He is not a bum, but he is not a world class defender either. Can start somewhere else and Juve would surely suit him.
At the end of the day there were far more promising CBs that didn't deliver what was...
A team that reaches a CL final is not weak, regardless of the way it got there. But the best in the world for winning it? Not necessarily.
It's also the way a team approaches certain games. I'm pretty sure Madrid feels more pressure when playing at San Mames than when they play at the San...
You're exaggerating really. None of his saves were crucial. Go and rewatch the highlights and tell me which of his saves were unreal? Pretty standard stuff to parry for a top GK really.
Courtois ships 5 goals like a bum - he's underrated. Our GKs ship 5 and it's the end of the world.
Courtois...
No club prioritises CL over league really. Apart from maybe PSG because Qatar wants that aura. But it's not like they need to lose league form and focus on CL.
CL wins are dependant on too many variables and it's not usually the best team in Europe that wins it. A team can be at its absolute...
Laporta first two terms - Dani Alves, Yaya Toure, Keita, Deco, Ronaldinho, Etoo, Villa, Pique
Laporta current term - Eric Garcia, Ferran, semi-retired Lewandowski, Raphinha, Kounde, Olmo
Spot the difference.
It is relevant as he was the team's and league's best player that season. Courtois wasn't named as Madrid's or La Liga's best player of the season.
So yeah, his contribution was decisive in getting us that Liga.
And yes, I think most of the current footballers are overpaid bums.
Like it or not, he was the league's MVP and top performing GK that season in all top 5 leagues.
But yeah, keep telling yourself Xavi is a good manager.
In short: Site has been functioning great and chat add-on (which is also paid) is also holding up. No crashes in recent year.
Having said that, forum itself barely makes anything through adsense. 15USD per month is pathetic and not enough for up-keep.
And if we can cover the server ourselves I would best take ads altogether.
Price of the hosting company went up significantly and I would appreciate donations: It's time to cover the server for the next 6 months.
