What's 'wild' is thinking a guy who has been wank for two years (and most of his career before that outside his purple patches) is poor in tight spaces, needs space in behind, has a terrible attitude, has been frozen out at Man United, never won a league trophy or CL, and who is on a significant...

So I have just watched this full 3 minute video, and it's extremely underwhelming. He has a few good moments, like the assist and a few other bits. But you could cut out everything up to 1.49/the assist where he basically loses the ball or fucks it up every time. After the assist he has a few...

Just to be clear - I am not saying the above will 100 percent happen. I am not that arrogant that I think what I say is the truth. It's my - very strong - opinion. I acknowledge he could do well, too. But it's a clear possibility that this loan spell could be an absolute disaster - that cannot...

I mean if it wasn't for his attitude issues and his salary, it might make more sense. But at 14 million a year and with the attitude risks? I honestly think you might be better signing nobody than this guy. I mean people are saying they're happy with him contributing a little - what does Barca...

Something doesn't add up. 270 grand a week and I am being told by people here that he's just a rotation option, a bit-part player who will get a few minutes here and there and be one of the lower ranking members of the squad. A club like Barca can't afford to spend 14 million a year for a...

Very ironic considering he looks like a lesbian.

I am anti them too as Scottish guy but still rate some of their players, being objective lol. I am not a big fan of Rashford, but hope he does well at Barca also. My response was more about people just assuming Torres will keep up his 2025 form, as you discussed.

Run Marcus, run.

(sorry for omitting parts of your post but this is the part that interested me most). I agree. Torres has had a few good months but people are acting like he's now set for the rest of his career. It could prove to be a purple patch (like some of Rashford's) and he could easily go back to being...

Fair enough mate. I did think flaw 4 was a big part of it, and that positive 3 is a big IF. I think by age 27 (28 he will be in October) players are set in their ways. Hearing about his 'potential' is getting boring when he should be in the prime of his career. People will still be talking about...

That's the main plus I see in him for the season. He and Raphinha aren't world beaters on talent (they have an ok/ decent amount of it) but Flick's system seems to get attackers playing on steroids. We can debate though if this is because his system is imbalanced in favour of the attack and...

@Skalman what do you think of this post I made on page 92. Too generous to him? I won't talk about the financial aspects, just him as a player. Positives: 1) On form he can be a statistical monster, even if it is short bursts and purple patches. If he hits form he can really go through a...

Could call it Epstein Stadium.

Yeah I am far from convinced having watched him a lot, but trying to give a balanced view on him. It isn't easy though as there's stuff that can go wrong here.

St Jimmy's Park, just to spite them. But then they might think it's an ode to Savile.

They copied Benfica with that. Should have called it 'New Roker Park' or 'Mackem Alley'.

Truly much more money than sense in that league.

Sorry, the second graph didn't load for me first time. I admit, that is quite surprising based on my perceived eye test. I will pay close attention to him this season when I watch Man City. You could be right and he might explode soon.

Yeah I don't deny he is a great ball carrier, and can dribble and beat men, that is fair. It's just his final ball that needs work, and that is one of the hardest parts. It could be confirmation bias or listening to too many of his detractors, but feel like the eye test for me shows that he...

I tend to agree with that. Haaland scores many goals, but his all-round game is brutal (though looked better in the CWC). As you know, since the start I have said he scores goals but Man City function worse as a team. Though it isn't all his fault because some of their better players aged and...
