He has coached Hoffenheim for over 5 years. But they were in lower divisions. As assistant coachhe stayed 8 years with NT

My understanding that this was during the negotiations that ended up with him renewing. It has very little effect on his future.

Lamine would be 33 by 2040, why would he retire at that age? :ROFLMAO:

Even if Chelsea don't get him (or buy and sell) I am not sure he will be a cheap option as much as folks think. You see people on reddit or X that ge will cost 40M or something around that, just because they bought him for half the price. The fact is that they will demand closer to 80M if he...

Surgeries comes with its own risks, there is a reason why it is avoided whenever possible. Choosing conservative treatment is the right approaches

It will be huge if we can get him as next manager. One of the few sure upgrades on what we have.

Anyone watched Said elMala? He is a LW who remind me a little with Abde, but playing with his heads up (from highlights).

Spalletti is a good coach. His main issue is that he was incapable of taking the final step to achieve titles, and he fixed that with Napoli

He also said Barca has good future because someone like Busquets is going to be a great coach.

He is my choice for RB, good, athletic and in his prime. I agree it seems weird that no one has gone for him. Against us, I also liked Pep Chavarria, their LB, he did well too and I felt we could use him over someone like Martin. But it is a small sample size. Stats this season looks solid...

Christensen can barely get minutes due to his health, and even when be played he wasn't that good tbh. He isn't reliable sadly. I would try Araujo Eric Kounde combination with one of them as RB, but it is likely to continue having some issues.

Pep was never just dependent on the midfield trio to control the game. A player like Dani Alves was equally important to our midfield dominance to our own midfielder, and his decline was massive part to the decline of our midfield. If you keep looking at the midfield trio, then you are simply...

He is niether weak or slow, at all. And running the most is one of the criterion to make ypu more physical players, fpr fact. And someone like Frenkie is more athletic than any PSG midfielder.

Then Pedri is also a physical player too. He is one who ran more than most, win duels more than most, and disposed less than most.

Christensen was always going to leave at the end of his contract, just the same way he joined us. I doubt he will get higher salary elsewhere with those injuries and he knows it. Most folks want him to start based on his form 2 years ago, and I get it. But he wasn't as good as before in the...

It isn't necessarily Hakimi and Mendes. Balde and Kounde from 2nd half of the past season would suffice, assuming health, which wasn't the case against Inter. Remember that Eric and Martin played as fullbacks in CL SF. I am not sure many managers would be glad to have that. Current version of...

This is hypothetical and we will never know. Flick achieved a lot in a short first team club career. This is essentially his 4th season, so it is tough to say what would happen. Lucho had the freedom to built a team of his own, essentially there is only 5 starters remaining before he joined...

PSG are smarter, and also vastly superior squad all around. I had them as favourites almost all of last season. But pressing or sitting deeper isn't my point here. It is simply that there are many alternatives to improve midfield, rather than signing a 3rd midfielder. Improving other areas will...

It is true regardless the game plan, you need ypur lines closer to each other. One element always affects the other. You press high, you must have a high line, otherwise you leave more space in midfield. You sit a bit deeper, you don't press higher. The main thing is to be compact as a team...
