Raphinha is a good starting winger. The main issue is that he is more in the mold of Giuly & Pedro while the club lacks wingers or no 9 who are Elite world class, and playmaking from midfield needs some working But that isn't on Raphinha to blame tbh

Don't see how teams like Milan or Inter had better attack than ours when they made it to CL SF. Squad is good enough for current standards of teams outside City. There is a lot of space for improvement for sure especially on the bench. What we need is more dynamic attack, but that is on the...

I don't get this logic. Laporta didn't succeed in his first tenure because of club history or brand, but by hiring the right guys. His second tenure so far is a success, with the exception of European results in Basketball and Football sections. He knows money talks, and he is managing the club...

Because long term money needs legacy, and he won't have it. Look at Messi massive deals he was offered in both USA and KSA, more than he earned in Barca in the case of the later.

Collado is 24 years of age with 1831 minutes in Liga. He isn't exactly that young or that promising, tbh I am not even sure why Betis signed him

PSG would pay us to take Neymar, unless they found a Saudi team who wants him. His wages alone is massive, he is so injury prone, he is no longer a winger.

Mbappe and Harry Kane are the absolute legends of the modern eras of their clubs. Rate Dembele as high as you want, he is simply no where near their status, niether in the club or globally This is more like Bayern taking Sane from City, rather than Kane or Mbappe wanting out. The club was...

⁹ He is a weird case, looks like a future LW based on playing style, but always plays a RW.

Court deemed those taxes illegal few years ago

Abde has to create a productive chaos to have a role here. It won't be a starter role in such role, but both Torres and Fati rely more on positioning than creativity, and while they are different players they rarely provide a "spark" from the bench. Abde can provide that on paper even if he is...

Dembele will get 25M signing bonus as part of his buyout. Do you think he can get more next year? He is 26, has injury history. One bad injury next year and he will be giving up a lot of money tbf. From financial stand point, I think leaving now is best for him over becoming FA

PSG doesn't need to make unrest. News is from legit journalists afaik, and it seems PSG interest and preparation to trigger his release clause is real. Whether or not he accepts is another question, but the news probably means his agent ready for it. At the end the player will decide for himself

RW: Raphina & Torres LW: Fati & Abde CF: Lewandowski & Roque We will also use 4th midfielder a lot. Just hope we improve back up FB situation and 2nd GK if he leaves

Man,it is kind of annoying how many deals were announced as close and then no news. F.Diaz, Zambrano, Fresneda. Although last 2 popped again last 2 days.

That's rather optimistic, my guess is that he will be back in Brasil once his contract is over with Juve. I would say Arthur is a case of people valuing profile without being able to determine quality. Remember Jean Michaël Ser? The African Xavi? Club was close to get him before Arthur became...

Gotta admit, it is nice that media hype is now on Messi side rather than CR7, having American media behind him is massive. Way different than it was for many years.

So buy option rather than mandatory clause? Damn.

This happened when Bartomeu let Zubizarreta do his thing. It was marvellous in summer 2014. He rushed after few bad results mid-season and fired Zubi, and it was downhill from there. Bartomeu fell for a known psychological trick for leaders: when things go south, they think they should do more...

What do you think a fair value for Nico? I think 10M is about it tbh, 21 years old midfielder who was a rotation guy (mostly starting though) in Valancia, I don't think his price was really that high. He isn't a physical specimen with massive potential like Moriba was (and he was also 18) to...
