    Matthijs de Ligt

    I am praying that the day will come when players can just come and say "I am here because you presented me with the best financial offer" I hate this part, no one believes it anymore and yet it is mandatory

    Tanguy Ndombele

    Better question, why would we buy him? We have just bought FDJ for this summer and already have Arthur (in addition to other few youngsters whom we are hopeful that one can make it here) As BBZ rightfully mentioned, Ndombele/Arthur/FDj midfield will lack needed attacking power that the team need.

    They aren't getting there till now. During past 14 years they have reached a further round than Barca only once (2017)

    Luis Enrique

    He has been very private about it. Not sure we will ever know

    Luis Enrique

    Yeah, LVG had success with NT (2nd time) and AZ and Bayern. But he wasn't recognized as good coach for next 7 years after he was fired in 1st time. Pep did well too. But I see the overall point Bojan is making

    André Gomes

    -Again, James cost over 70M, was good but failed to secure his place to be more than rotation player, left at the age of 26 when he was at his prime. Loaned for 2 year, and they still didn't sell him for 50M. and even then it is a loss for them for a star player. It is a bad deal when selling...

    André Gomes

    -James was bought for over 70M, even if they get "50M" for him they lose same amount of money we lost in Gomes. -Bayern surely low balled them, I am not sure how you can argue against that, a loan with an option to buy for a star caliber player like James is the worst possible deal, a 2 year...

    André Gomes

    Bayern lowballing him? They already did successfully Bayern got him on loan for 2 years on their own terms, and had an option to buy with 40M that they have declined because he isn't worth it. And not just him, they tried to get rid of Bale for years and failed, and many of their players...

    André Gomes

    RM also failed to get 40M for James after paying twice the price of Gomes while we sold Mina for 20M profit just after 6 months. The market is crazy tbh and tough to make those comparisons, 25 is just about the right value for Andre, at least it won't be another loan till his contract expires

    Jasper Cillessen

    Neto is very good GK, and we have been lucky to have a good back up GK for sometime and we have taken that for granted I like Pena, and would not have mind promoting him. But tbh it he is neither ready for 1st team football, nor it is the best move for his development.

    Jasper Cillessen

    How much do you think we can get for Jasper in the market? In past decade and half the most expensive GKs that was 27 or older was Samir Handanović who cost 19M, and after him Bravo (only one that over 30) with 18 Both of them were starting GKs. Jasper is a 30 years old GK, who player only in...

    Barca Transfers and Rumors

    Umtiti himself isn't old player, was 23 when EV took over Roberto abd Semedo is less than 2 yeara apart, doubt he is playing due to his age

    Jasper Cillessen

    Few years ago we seemed to have a strong relation with Spanish teams tbh, much stronger than they had with RM. But last couple of years it doesn't seem that way, we need to get that back. I don't mind helping them. Regarding Neto for Jasper, we are clearly in the losing end of it. That said...

    Lakers trades any future insurance with such trade. 2023 & 2025 unprotected right to swap picks, 2024 unprotected pick. 2021 protected top 8 and if not conveyed 2022 unprotected. In addition to their young core with exception of Kuzma If Davis turned into another DHoward they are screwed. OTOH...

    If Kawhi stays, only him has a contract past next year. There might be some good FA in 2020 too and most of their players (other than Siakem & Fred) will probably get less if they renewed. They have also been able to get some bargains. I think they will remain competitive though I think next...

    All luck GSW had during past years has hunted them in this series. Toronto are finally a champions.

    Tanguy Ndombele

    That is his point Do we need someone with his role? Or someone with those players profile

    Mavericky Puig

    Do you think Alena would start over either Ziyech or De Beek? May be if one of them leave Anyway, I think financially stable clubs who competes for trophies are bad choice for loaning talents. They have no interest in getting someone for a year with no financial or lobg term profit. Usually...

    Matthijs de Ligt

    Very few CBs ever reached that level. That is a safer bet actually. De Ligt doesn't have same physical qualities as VVD, which will make it difficult for him to reach that level regardless of his age. And many of those weren't happy with the way Umtiti handled his renewal either. And with...

    Arthur

    No, and this was pointed out before he signed. His forward passing was my biggest concern on him when we were interested. So, it is either he doesn't play them, which is a problem. Or he tries and fails, and it is a problem. Second one is clearly not on coach, 1st one might be. But he is even...
