Mid February is what was reported

Ter Stegen is the voted Captain, and letting another player lifting the trophy is his decision alone, rightfully so. There is nothing egotistical here, those players see each other on daily basis and see who does what and who suffers during certain times. The fact that Araujo left the trophy...

It was a nice gesture to let Araujo left it. Classy move by him.

Ok, that clears things. Again, I don't think Osimhen is coming, and I don't want him either. I personally made my peace with the idea that Torres will be starting next year. However, I think you are undermining talent and abilities, while looking at other factors a lot. We both know that...

Do you prefer Thuram in general, or as a cheaper option? Like of they both cost the same financially, which one would you take?

Thuram is far inferior to Osimhen and it isn't even close. And Osimhen celebrated his 27th birthday two weeks ago, he isn't 28. He is just entering his peak. You are selling him low, he is an amazing player. I mostly agree with your argument from Barca side of things. The big 3 strikers are...

Apparently, deal is currently stalled due to disagreements between the player's camp (both agent and his dad) and Ahly. Since it is a loan deal, and that he has a contract until 2027, Ahly wants him to renew it for another year (Initially they wanted 3 years) as a backup plan in case Barca...

I don't really see it with him, he doesn't look good enough to warrant being anything more than Villarreal striker. Maybe there is untapped potential I am not aware of, but I feel if we ever sign him it will be for backup role or something.

Only Messi when he played centrally. Otherwise I think Icardi is the best of the bunch, however he was far below Barca standards.

Osimhen has an argument of being the 4th best striker (Halaand, Mbappe and Kane are tier of their own) and this warrant his steep price. He is just a physical specimen who is also very talented. For that alone he is worth 80M+ easily. But not for us, because those are numbers we can't afford...

Great game from us, a little bit of silly mistakes on set pieces but otherwise perfect game. Marmoush had his best game with NT, while Salah is killing it in this right number 10 role. Emam finally stepped up for once. I am still not that much of a believer especially against Senegal, however...

Eusebio used him in midfield several times before he left to join Benfica. I genuinely thought he would end up there full time.

The AI answer lacks an important nuance 27 years are impressive and more difficult because you are earning loyalty from your own club. Mourinho and Ancelotti were never capable of earning such loyalty from their own clubs, and were kicked out several times. This is why longevity matters, you...

I don't see it with him. Far below our level while he could be a starter in La liga.

We are playing with a fighting spirit, but we are very limited and Ivory Coast has one of the best squads in the tournament. They are behind only Morocco, slightly ahead of Senegal and Nigeria. They lack experience in attack as it is fairly brand new one, albeit arguably the most talented...

Mali with another red card, this time against a true contender. Senegal should cruise with ease

R9, Carlos and even Cafu were past it, Robinho was never "him" anyway and Kaka wasn't at his peak yet. The team was still as good as anyone in terms of players but they were still flawed. Add ego to the mix and it was clear they were going out as soon as a serious team plays them. France for...

I am not sure Manu is built that different for a coach like Xavi. There is a reason Amorim was forced to try 433 later. They lack proper midfielders, and they knew that already under Amorim, Ten Hag but failed to address it. They will go big for those regardless of whom they hire. One of...

At most, there is a handful of wingers in the world who won't struggle against a healthy and in form Mendes or Alphonso Davies. Even Lamine had hard time against Mendes. That is an unfair bar to set. Especially for a 20 years old winger returning from ACL who just joined from the Danish league...

Last minute equaliser for Valancia
