Oh shit that actually did happen :lol:

On this forum, Serie A is considered a shit league because Smalling did well there. Bundesliga is considered a shit league because Sancho/Mkhitaryan did well there. Ligue 1 is considered a shit league because they are French. La Liga is considered a shit league with only 3 good teams, so any...

This is Amrabat's last year of his contract. If they loan him to us for 2m then that is all they are getting for him leaving. Completely different scenario. Cucurella will still go back to Chelsea after his loan so Chelsea can still try to offload him for some money, Fiorentina literally can't...

Shaw and Malacia. As of now we have 0 natural LBs in our first team squad. Personally I would use Lisandro there, but that would also mean that we are 1 CB injury away from having Maguire back in the starting lineup, and knowing Varane that will be happening pretty soon. Or we can just blindly...

He is top 3-5% percentile for defenders in almost every passing metrics available, so no idea why are you doubting his progressive ball playing skills. His pass completion, pass attempts, progressive passes, passes into final third, passes received, touches per game etc are all in the top 1%...

And there were people saying that negotiating with Levy will just be a walk in the park as Kane is in his last year of contract. :lol:

This place talks as if Caicedo is some combination of Yaya Toure + Makelele that will boss every midfield he comes across. After 1 good season in EPL without ever playing in Europe.

It seems like this place rates Caicedo, who had 1 good season and have never played in Europe, higher than Casemiro last season when we signed him, after winning 5 CLs. When Liverpool sign a player off 1 good season in EPL for €130m you lot are creaming yourself and praise Liverpool for their...

I am glad we signed Hojlund instead of going for Kane, or else we would have been stuck in this stupid merry go round with the possibility of heading into the new season without a striker. And I can see that he will be signing an extension with Spurs not long after this.

He did spend around half of his games playing as CB so that will drop his assist percentile down quite significantly I would assume.

Pavard's stats on FBRef is really quite amazing. Top percentile in almost every passing and possession category while being no slouch in defense, both as a CB or RB.

Osimhen left Wolfsburg at the age of 20 with 0 goals to his name after 14 league games before his breakthrough season in the Belgian League. Kane failed to impress on his Leicester loan when he was 20 and was not rated at all until he start banging goals for fun when he was 21. Dzeko had only...

Very true and a great post summarising the current market situation for good strikers. Actually after taking a look at all top clubs of the top 5 leagues, I realised that there is a severe lack of good center forwards in the game right now. You have covered Madrid, City, Liverpool and Arsenal...

Here is what you said in case you forgot, and you did not specify that they must be 27 yo or above so I put examples starting from 25 : Mahrez - Never played in top 5 clubs before he joined City and have been successful. No matter what you wanna say about Leicester, they are not a top 5 club...

Mahrez, Kante, Vardy, Drogba, Luca Toni, Klose, Raphinha, Van Dijk, Luis Diaz, Falcao, Wijnaldum, Senna, Ian Wright, Quagliarella, Milito, Julio Cesar, Fernandinho, Henrikh, Willian, Deco, Carvalho, Thiago Silva, Vidic, Ji Sung, RVN, even Bruno (go look at his transfer thread and you will see...
