Fabinho had a better season than Countinho ever has just last season and is the same age. Can play RB, CDM, or even an advanced CM role at a high level. Would be excellent in practically any league; English, Spanish, whatever.
- Why are you comparing a CM to a winger? Anyhow, compared to class players, Sterling isn't anything special. Sane is far and away the better player of the two.
- Alli isn't anywhere close to being a great player. That, if anything, is rubbish.
- When compared to players of his age group with similar levels of hype: Lemar, Asensio, Guedes, Dembele, Sane, and Werner, for example, he comes away looking quite average.
- Have opinions on Sterling outside of England changed much?
Lemar, Fabinho, and Keita aren't the same type of players as Countinho so I don't understand the comparison. Fabinho, for example, is a top 5 player in the world at his role/position.
I think it's odd that some Barca supporters are going out of their way to rationalize why Mbappe would chose PSG over Madrid, even arguing against words from the boys own mouth, but whatever.
Monaco is backed by a billionaire and has one of the strongest academies in Europe. Their success since their current handlers took over speaks for itself(more success than every club in Italy not named Juventus). Inter & Milan share an old arena they don’t own, while the latter club is...
They come out on top in your head, but not in Europe or infrastructure(stadiums, academies). UEFA coifficents go back 5 years so using them to argue which league is stronger today is flawed. In reality, Lyon and Monaco have been stronger than every club in Italy except Juventus over the last few...
Your problem is you’re trying to degrade a league you don’t follow. Yes, Nice finished 3rd in Ligue 1 last season, but that doesn’t make them the 3rd strongest club in France anymore than Leicester City winning the EPL in 15/16 made them the strongest club in England. PSG, Monaco and Lyon were...
But Nice isn’t the 3rd strongest team in France, that would be Lyon. And that is clear to anyone with even a fundamental understanding of the competition. But then, I don’t really know where you’re going with your argument anymore. Lyon and Monaco were stronger in Europe than all but Juventus...
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.
