    Matthijs de Ligt

    The guy that this thread is named after? If he wants out, Juve willing to do a swap type of deal, then we should be really after it

    Matthijs de Ligt

    Would say that a WC CB is no1 priority short term, then a striker and then a midfielder. Main issue with midfield is that we actually have a good young group, but Koemann lack of trust to Pjanic and Puig make it really thin and overuse our players. regarding attack I think we simply need a...

    Eden Hazard

    Not by much, Hazard cost them 100M (and some add-ons) while Coutinho came with 120 (and some major add-ons) and Bayern paid 20M for his loan. Coutinho is also the younger player, so he might end up being sold for few millions, Hazard is already over 30, doubt RM will be able to get anything...

    Matthijs de Ligt

    Not when his agent is Raiola, they will keep him happy and cash on his player, just to ensure they can keep the next generation of his client flowing their way.

    9 - Samuel Eto'o

    Sadly they weren't, they were actually closer to being overrated than underrated. All 3 are legends, but they barely played with each other while all being in form. Messi was injured 2nd half of 05/06 season, R10 barely played significant minutes in 2nd half of his last season. Overall, they...

    How old are you?

    True, forums are past it, although I would say specialized forums are still alive to some extent and would probably survive but on small scale. Each team usually has its own active (sort of) forum, you will find here and there forums that are active in certain sport (realgm in basketball for...

    Marc Cucurella

    He is the perfect LM for Liga clubs tbh. I prefer him over a guy like Miranda for example, but I won't pay anything to get him here.

    Emerson

    iirc they already repaid us the 6M of ours, and we will have to pay 12M for him, making total deal cost 12M at that point. And the 50% reported resale value is never the actual deal, it is the profit. so if we pay 12M for him, we split the profit in case we sold him. so if we get 30M Betis...

    No one is firing a coach in last 5 games tbh. Nothing to gain from it

    European Super League

    Liga has salary cap, and without player union approval it will never be legaly accepted to impose one or decrease it. The agent thing is important, in NA agent only gets fees from player, and it is almost exclusively 4% when it comes to salary. This needs to happen in football, but won't be...

    Their GDP is much higher than Qatar and UAE combined iirc.

    Yup, a teenage midfielder is what we need.

    Florentino Perez

    I don't know about that, NBA has tried to work with social media platforms like FB/Twitter etc to stream their games, and their request was actually declined as they cited the fact that their consumers are more interested on short clips rather than full games, so it won't be profitable for them...

    Florentino Perez

    And people rarely play football for sake of keeping fit anyway.

    European Super League

    tbh,I don't think English clubs are the problem for them. One of the goals was to actually be able to make things equal with EPL clubs and if they can do it without them, they will do it (it will still be highly competitive, and a true competition that EPL clubs will feel the pressure to join...

    Florentino Perez

    This. esports is coming to compete with regular sports. People are taking the game success for granted, since it was already popular and continued to grow b4 any of us were born. But numerous industries died with new ones replacing them , football are far from immune

    Joan Laporta

    ESL is needed for leverage in negotiations, it is clear that is what Laporta is doing. "Oh, we are sorry UEFA, forgive us please" isn't exactly a way to gain some leverage for the parties involved . Laporta seem to have a good relationship with Cerafin or whatever his name, he made it clear he...

    European Super League

    Only 8 are out, 1 saying we are sensitive to fans and another saying ESL can't be proceed atm. Wolfie had a nice article about it few posts ago from financial Times, basically the binding penalty will not be paid but the remaining clubs can go to court and extract some money from them, even...

    European Super League

    Nah, the safe spots is still based on merits and aren't arbitrary. Also, ESL had a problem of 15 out of 20 clubs guaranteed places for 23 years, leaving just 5 spots to fight for. This kills the turnover in the game tbh, if it was 5-8 founder clubs it would have been easier pill to swallow.

    European Super League

    Neither Milan nor Juve officially out of it, their statements were weird and didn't say it,unless the Italian statements are different from the English ones. Highly doubt the English clubs will get favourable deals from UEFA btw, that sounds like nonsense
