They will offer at least 30m.

We still need much more depth across the pitch, for any non key players we should be considering offers rationally. We are not desperate to sell, the smart move is just to always keep in mind improvements that could be made with money. 30-40m for Fermin would be a good deal. Maybe 20m with 50%...

The squad transfer 'value' from Transfermarkt is based on much more than how good the players actually are. They are an estimate made by volunteers of what they think the players will sell for, it is based on hype, age, recent performances etc. A good example is that Lukaku is valued at 22m and...

I don't think you know much about Serie A, it seems this is more driven by your dislike of Inzaghi than an actual analysis. Inter's squad on paper is nowhere near good enough to be competing for CL and yet they have been firmly in the mix now for 3 seasons. However, more fool us for getting...

Even Napoli brought in some great players last window, but yeah, they are comparable squads, the difference is Inter is competing on three fronts and Napoli competes on one. Not sure it is some massive disaster as you claim.

Inter were crumbling with financial difficulties when he took over. He made a squad out of scrap, practically, with old Prem rejects.

In fees paid, maybe, but I wouldn't swap Yamal for United's entire team. Sorry not sorry.

Its hard to argue that Hojlund will even get to the ball, he is far far away from it. Even if someone says that's a pen, leaving aside the handball already, to give a red card based on what is absolutely an opinion is shocking.

CL QF is bare minimum or underperforming, not a notable achievement, really.

Here it is, you said 'even CL QF is a notable achievement' instead of miracle :

The main thing is I trust Flick and I trust the leadership to back him. Although you are right about this, I think its worth adding that we worked out significant kinks in the system in the opening part of the season ; we were 10 pts behind Madrid at one point as we were working out our starting...

You said at that time that making the CL QF is a miracle by Xavi. Its ok to revise your opinion but claiming it is in line with your analysis all along is hilarious.

The best managers are innovators, they bring new ideas nobody else considered or dared to implement. This is the type of thing that distinguishes good managers from the great. He is coming with his own innovation and stomping Europe with it. Even if we don't win the treble, I am sure we are...

Stat padding? He scored many important goals.

I feel like a few guys here just base their opinion on whatever they think makes Xavi look better at the moment. What Serghei is saying about the squad being great anyway is correct, but coming from him, it seems like a 180 to respond to why Flick is doing much better with it.

I agree with most of what Serghei is saying, but unfortunately I find it impossible to reconcile his new position with what he was saying at the start of the season. He was claiming that making CL QF is a miracle and all praise be to Xavi for this miraculous achievement less than a season...

Our speed stats are fairly interesting, despite having quite a slow team by top speed we are running perhaps the most aggressive offensive and defensive system in world football with great success. Excluding GKs 1st - Raphinha (34.7km/h) 2nd - Gerard Martin (34km/h) 3rd - Cuenca [Barca B]...

Have you guys read the room? Its not exactly like he is benching Marcelo or something. People here are acting like he has a superstar fullback on the bench. It is Fort who at best is a little better than Martin but there is no significant difference between the two at this level. They are both...

His athleticism was frying us, he could have easily had a third towards the end too if he had just hit it first time instead of squaring it across goal when he was clean through.

And remarkable Madrid's change in fortune by gaining Mbappe. Great player, but comes with some strings attached.
