    Trent Alexander-Arnold

    I haven't watched him for a while, but I followed him when he was breaking through and at that time I did not rate him as a world class talent but simply a great one. I think he can be a great striker for a Europa League team or something in the future but I don't see him becoming a striker for...

    CL Semi Final: Inter - Barca 4-3

    Thuram is really fast but it doesn't look like it because he is big and gangly so he can lack grace. But in terms of sprints, very fast, and also strong. His top speed on UEFA is like 34kmh, and average sprint speed is like 32 point something.

    Trent Alexander-Arnold

    Thuram would be an interesting and appropriate target for their #9 role tbh. Can definitely play very well as a support 9 to open up space behind him for Bellingham, Mbappe and Vinicius, good aerial presence and back to goal play, unselfish and creative. It wouldn't surprise me to see Madrid...

    CL Semi Final: Inter - Barca 4-3

    About this - I think I read a similar post from you, but Inter show so well how simple football can kill when the defense is tired, they don't use their physicality or dribbling or star talent to punish you, they just pass and move so efficiently and creatively that you struggle to read them...

    CL Semi Final: Inter - Barca 4-3

    My feeling is that Lautaro struggles against very high lines, he lacks the burst and the stamina to force his way through them. With a lot of distance between him and the goal he struggles to show his quality, he is best when he can play in and around the box with his teammates ready to link up...

    CL Semi Final: Inter - Barca 4-3

    I thought they were better after Taremi came on tbh.

    Hector Fort (loaned to Elche)

    He would be happier if Xavi was still here. Truth.

    Ansu Fati (loaned to Monaco)

    Lenglet can still play at a good level, and we managed to loan him to Atletico at least, there is no chance of this happening with Ansu. There are no options to even loan him other than us paying 70 or 80% of the wages and then we have to work out which teams will even be interested in him that...

    Ansu Fati (loaned to Monaco)

    The best move here was to sell him after it became clear he was having serious injury problems. It is hard to do that, and Barca often don't sell players until their stock is low (unlike Madrid), but this is where we need clear eyed business sense, since his youth days it was obvious he is...

    Ansu Fati (loaned to Monaco)

    Seeing his physical condition in that game was upsetting. Only 22 years old. If this is the reality of what he is and its not rust then we should sell at any possible opportunity without playing him again because he will lose any buyers if he continues to play. At this point, it will be...

    CL Semi Final: Inter - Barca 4-3

    Sometimes having players who are not emotional, and just chilled, is more helpful than you think. Those types of players might not be ultra passionate or running around like crazy but they keep their head cool in key moments.

    They will offer at least 30m.

    16 - Fermín López

    We still need much more depth across the pitch, for any non key players we should be considering offers rationally. We are not desperate to sell, the smart move is just to always keep in mind improvements that could be made with money. 30-40m for Fermin would be a good deal. Maybe 20m with 50%...

    La Liga Round 34: Valladolid - Barca 1-2

    The squad transfer 'value' from Transfermarkt is based on much more than how good the players actually are. They are an estimate made by volunteers of what they think the players will sell for, it is based on hype, age, recent performances etc. A good example is that Lukaku is valued at 22m and...

    La Liga Round 34: Valladolid - Barca 1-2

    I don't think you know much about Serie A, it seems this is more driven by your dislike of Inzaghi than an actual analysis. Inter's squad on paper is nowhere near good enough to be competing for CL and yet they have been firmly in the mix now for 3 seasons. However, more fool us for getting...

    La Liga Round 34: Valladolid - Barca 1-2

    Even Napoli brought in some great players last window, but yeah, they are comparable squads, the difference is Inter is competing on three fronts and Napoli competes on one. Not sure it is some massive disaster as you claim.
