Sad that some teams are having to provide at least some social media protection for their players. I wouldn't be surprised to see this type of application / service be used more widely...
Slags city, then proceeds to try and rally support from arl fellas in the Arkles. Zero response.
He's chanelling an undercurrent of racism and self-hate going from his videos. He's also on the ale a lot going by this.
Works security? Couldn't...
Their entire image as a club now is built on the plucky underdog fighting the good fight against the evil, super rich clubs. Their collective ego rests on that vision. They simply can't tolerate any conversations about their spending, as the...
I had a beer with a couple of mates and one of them is a RS ST holder another armchair there as well.
In conversation I mentioned how they’d spent a few quid , Jesus the response ! The lad was like puma jumping on that one . How they had it to...
Cardozo upfront as well. The next summer half of them went to Chelsea and half went to Madrid.
We really did run into some top teams under Moyes:
Villareal containing Riquelme Cazorla Senna Forlan Sorin
That Benfica team
Sporting Lisbon with...
God I hope not. I hate that diving little rat. He's not even very good either. Praying he goes abroad so I don't have to look at his stupid horrible face again.
Besides that he'd be a decent option yeah why not
There is value in that older player market but we've tended to recruit the wrong ones over time. I'm not including Young in that because I think we got exactly what we paid the wages for with him.
Xhaka also isn't that old as well so it is a...
Yeah, that team they had was Champions League standard
Di Maria, Saviola, Ramires, Pablo Aimar, David Luiz, Javi Garcia who ended up at City I think, Luisao who played 40 odd times for Brazil, Fabio Coentrao who went on to play for Real Madrid -...
Possibly, mate.
He’s just about 33 now and he was playing in a deeper role than the previous seasons, so he didn’t look as prominent on the pitch. His positional play was excellent and he still dictated from deep.
Definitely at the stage where...
Probably just me, then. Like you've said, he was important during the invincible season. Maybe it's just my brain telling me that he had a drop off because Leverkusen weren't as good in general?
I thought he still looked good. He was an important player for them in the invincible season and only missed one game. He’s probably been brought in as back-up from what I’ve seen of our midfield so far in pre-season.
Personally think it’s a...
Yeah I assume this is pretty standard in a case like that where one player is going to get bums on seats. Probably even more so with Sociedad / Kubo because there’s no draw there whatsoever without him.
It's both. The revenue is obviously an issue in the longer term, but the regulations mean that you can't even speculate to accumulate in the short term, allowing your revenue stream to increase through CL qualification etc.
Money we spent was never the issue mate though really.
It was the wages we offered which like United are finding can massively wreck your club for years
