Transfer Rumour Douglas Luiz

[coollino]

He wouldn’t last ten minutes in the modern game Joey and you know it.

Knowing his record, he'd get injured doing the knee for the pre-game black lives matter respect

 

[blue to the bone]

Echo's Joe Thomas just knocked this pursuit on the head. Shame.

Link?

Would like an absolute slug compared to the elite these days.

Club have been playing it down for a couple of weeks now.

Sadly.

Id be surprised if he's someone we pursued, happy but surprised.

Yeah I’ve not been getting excited about this one. Just don’t see it.

Not sure most of the modern players would last in the matches back then to be honest, certainly not as tough as they used to be. Probably be complaining about a broken finger nail.

With all respect such comparisons are anachronistic and hopelessly futile.
A person can only thrive within the environment he exists.
While today’s players are undoubtedly more athletic, would they prosper or even survive in earlier times ?
Would they cope with the harder and more brutal ( by today’s standards) tackling ?
Would the sheer physicality of previous times negate their modern day abilities.
How would they fare in the days before substitutions , or even when only one substitute was allowed , when players had to play on carrying injuries that nowadays would warrant immediate withdrawal?
Ball excelled in the game , that is undeniable and to denigrate his standing by comparison to today’s game is not only foolish it’s deliberately disrespectful and devalues the game entirely.

I didn't read any of this but I've decided to disagree.

As today's players will no longer be considered fit for purpose in the future. In 30 years time some people will say Messi was not that good. The best footballers rise to the top in their own era. They are the greats of the game for a reason.

According to the journalist Balzarini we are " acting quite seriously " in our pursuit of Luiz.

As opposed to calling Juve, giggling down the phone and hanging up?
