    9 - Robert Lewandowski

    Espanyol at home, Atletico and Betis away, at the very least. Could be costly.

    Messi983, what happened yesterday between us and CD Tacon? Why is Olga Carmona from CD Tacon bitching about us?

    La Liga 2022/23

    Ahhh, I didn't know it, just saw a red card moniker next to Rayo. Why did he get sent off?

    La Liga 2022/23

    Didn't we lose to Osasuna last season or the one before in Pamplona, when the players were out taking a stroll before the game or something?

    Xavi Hernández

    EPL clubs will never ditch the EPL for the ESL, even if they wanted to. The ESL never aspired or claimed to replace the respective national leagues, just the European-wide competitions.

    Manchester City

    Like you mentioned, other clubs such as Bayern, also I'd add Madrid have been able to keep their wages reasonable despite having different managers. Pep will be gone from City one day, I don't think their wage bill will just skyrocket afterwards and they lose control. If the management does...

    Manchester City

    Certainly, but I don't think Pep or the manager is the main factor, the club management is. Ferran Soriano is a gem, runs a tight ship and deserves huge credit. Too bad he and Laporta hate each other. Perhaps he will be back under a Pique presidency? ;)

    Manchester City

    I seriously doubt it. While Pep is definitely a magnet in terms of attracting players, I don't think or believe for a second that City is paying their players lower than other clubs just because of Pep, or players are willing to take a lower salary just to play for Pep.

    Manchester City

    I share the sentiment, in general. Clubs like City and PSG can draw up fictitious sponsorship deals probably much more easily than others, without being caught. That said, at least with City, I think, as their sporting success is on the rise and with the help of star players like Haaland, it is...

    Manchester City

    Sporting-wise, we won't match City any time soon, that is a given. Also since they have a limit-less pocket/sugar daddy (CFG) which has a purchasing power that only a few can match, I wouldn't even dream of going there. I was talking about how they manage to keep the wage bill relatively low and...

    Manchester City

    City achieved a record-high profit of 48m (with a total revenue of 700m) for the 21/22 season, owing a big "thank you" to us for buying Ferran Torres. :facepalm: Its wage bill appeared to be around 356 million last season (before the sales of 18 players such as Gabriel Jesus, Sterling and...

    Champions League 2022/2023

    Agreed. However it is hard to think they will be much different and all of sudden in a great form 3 months later. I think it is quite clear that Madrid is the clear favorite, without much suspense.

    Xavi Hernández

    Got it. I think Dortmund is a special case and a class of its own, as it is very good at scouting young players around Europe and perhaps many young players are attracted by Dortmund particularly, because of (1) the ample opportunities they give to young players (due to Dortmund constantly...

    Xavi Hernández

    Bundesliga hasn't really generated that many young talents, as far as I can think of. Bellingham and Musiala certainly won't count, neither would Haaland or any of those non-German, non-Bundesliga talents they acquired. The only one I can think of is Moukoko and to a lesser degree Adeyemi (I...

    Liverpool

    There won't be any shortage of buyers, from middle eastern tycoons to American businessmen and women. Not a bad thing for Liverpool, they might just find a sugar daddy that is willing to spend to keep up with the likes of City.

    Let's go Messi, Mbappe and Neymar, let's go PSG!

    You have it easy, the weakest Liverpool in a while.

    Xavi Hernández

    Xavi always finds something to complain about and blame, instead of trying to find the answer or solution.

    Xavi Hernández

    How will the ESL help us exactly? For the ESL to work and generate as much money as it promised, it would have to include the English clubs. And if they are in, they will receive as much money as us, Madrid and Juventus, and their EPL money won't dwindle, so in the end that disparity still exists.
