    Ibrahima Konaté

    I did not watch the match as I wrote but Whoscored's rankings of Konaté and Upamecano are not too far apart so not sure if Konaté was "completely" outshined. https://www.whoscored.com/Matches/1294676/Live/Germany-Bundesliga-2018-2019-Bayern-Munich-RasenBallsport-Leipzig Moreover Whoscored have...

    17 - Jeison Murillo

    He reminds me a bit of his compatriot Iván Córdoba. If he can do just half as well as Córdoba did in Europe (Inter) for the reminder of the season, he will prove useful. One of his better games for Valencia. Will give people an idea what type of player that the club has just signed...

    17 - Jeison Murillo

    Footballer's who have appeared for their team during a CL-season are no longer cup-tied should they move to another team that participates in the CL during the same season. Yes, he should be ready to play in theory. He has only played in 3 games this season due to falling out with Marcelino and...

    Ibrahima Konaté

    I did not catch the Bayern-Leipzig game but apparently he did rather well. Upamecano was at fault for that rather unfortunate clearing judging from the highlights. I genuinely think that he is a very exciting prospect. There is not much talk about him let alone him being linked with Barça but I...

    17 - Jeison Murillo

    Venezuela next door disagrees about the women part. So do I. It's all about the Spanish/Iberian and Latin mixture anyway.:pique1: I highly doubt that the club will ever trigger such a buyout clause. Murillo is really nothing special. He will most likely do the job but nothing more than that. I...

    Lliga | Round 17: FC Barcelona - Celta 2-0

    Celta is usually a difficult opponent and they play some exciting and positive football. I don't think that it will be any different on Saturday. It's hard to dislike them. Aspas or no Aspas. Looking forward to watching Brais Méndez as well. I would like to see Coutinho play in the midfield for...

    Adrien Rabiot

    I think that you need to reread what you have quoted again. Notice the word "other". Is this some kind of bad joke? Rabiot offers plenty and it appears to me that you have watched him very few times if at all if you struggle to see what he offers. There will be no "lower" price as he will...

    10 - Lionel Messi - V6

    :worthy: should suffice. Resting Messi more regularly will likely be the difference maker this season. In particular before crucial CL games. Not only Messi but other members of the "old guard". There really should be no doubt about that and Valverde should grow some cojones and do his part. In...

    Barca draws Lyon in Round of 16 at Champions League

    Lyon it is. On paper one of the easier teams to face but it should be some interesting games without a doubt. Lyon is a respectable club with a great youth academy and quite a few promising talents at their disposal. It is also a club that we have good ties with and past games have almost always...

    17 - Jeison Murillo

    Not Murillo's biggest fan to be honest. I don't have any big expectations but I do expect him to do the minimum and step in when necessary. However I would take him on-loan for the reminder of the season all night long over the likes of Skrtel, Pepe (haha) and Ivanovic. Those 3 options, when...

    Adrien Rabiot

    Rabiot is by no means a bad player. Rather the contrary. Even less so when he can be signed for free other than the obligatory sign-on bonus. I don't really understand the displeasure with this likely signing. Rabiot will turn 24 this April. Should he fail completely at Barça, which I doubt...

    Europa League

    Milan.:lol: I guess Gattuso prefers to focus on CL qualification for the next season. Pathetic behavior from the Olympiakos fans but if you can't score on your chances you deserve to exit the Europa League. Not only Milan but Inter as well urgently need to reach their former heights for Italian...

    Who'd you like to face next in the Round of 16 at Champions League?

    Because Liverpool has had nothing to show for in the past 12 seasons other than a single League Cup (Mickey Mouse Cup) win 6 years ago where they barely defeated Cardiff on penalties. I know that this is the past and not really relevant to point out but we are not talking about RM, Atlético...

    Frenkie de Jong

    I personally don't hate a single football club, national team or player. Dislike at most. You are attaching WAY too high perceptions to QSG when you are yet to be even remotely relevant on the European scene outside of helping destroy the transfer market due to the Qatari gas that the...

    Frenkie de Jong

    False. The weekly trashing against the likes of Angiers, Guingamp, Caen, Angers etc. Amiens, Dijon, Reims etc. are always the highlight of the European football weekend. A pure spectacle. There can be no doubt about it. No wonder that they have little to talk about. Nobody gives a **** about...

    Europa League

    Good to see Sevilla and Villarreal winning their respective groups. Betis to follow suit later tonight. A shame that Valencia failed to qualify for the round of 16. They were better than Man Utd in their two direct meetings but messed up against Young Boys away from home and they were not as...

    Who'd you like to face next in the Round of 16 at Champions League?

    Associazione Sportiva Roma. In other words AS Roma. Nothing will ever correct that absolutely dreadful and disgusting night in Rome 8 months ago but drawing Roma and absolutely obliterating them (I have nothing against Roma otherwise) would certainly be a start. Not to say that they are a mess...

    Ernesto Valverde - V1

    It's a very strange discussion when it was and is painfully clear that neither Tata or Valverde (less so in my opinion at least and the results also support Valverde "winning" a direct comparison) were or are setting the world alight let alone being perfect or very good choices. Tata should...

    Samuel Umtiti

    According to MD both the club and Umtiti will wait another week before they make a decision about whether to undergo an operation or not. Afterwards, depending on the decision taken, the club will figure out whether it will be necessary or not to sign a new CB this January...
