I think "observing" here means an internship. Many former players did the same thing at their former club to get a coaching license. On top of my head, Xabi Alonso (Madrid), Ignazio Abate (AC Milan), Christian Chivu (Inter), John Heitinga (Ajax), and Jack Wilshere (Arsenal) Clearly, you...

Not even City could get Kane. I honestly think Levy will only let him go to our club if we are willing to pay 200 million pounds, which is ridiculous.

While I agree with your statement, I hope we are not the kind of club that punishes players by throwing them on the reserve team. Not so long ago, he was our captain and played in every match available. I assumed he was a professional lad. For that reason alone, he deserves his place on the...

Because performance-wise, FDJ never been a problem for Barcelona. They just can't afford his salary due to mismanagement. On the other hand, we desperately need to get rid of Maguire because he's been a liability for us. I can understand if he wants to fight for his place and keep his income...

Yeah, but what's your point, though? A player doesn't "compete" with their teammates by boosting his assist numbers. Kevin De Bruyne is Man City's top goal provider because Pep allows him to play closer to the box instead of Gundogan's position. Liverpool has so many assists from their full back...

Are you being serious? The responsibility to create chances is distributed to all players on the right, left, and center, near or far from the final third, while scoring goals is mainly a forward's job in the penalty box.

It can be interpreted in many different ways. It is possible that football has developed in a way that strikers need to create their own chances. You would put Iniesta on a well-functioning attacking team. But if you need an extra ten to twenty goals in a season while having a not-so-great...

Because scoring goals is hard, and nobody has delivered the output with the same consistency as those two players. Really, we are not talking about 2 or 3 seasons, but one full decade and then some. It's unheard of. And now we have Mbappe and Haaland, who are in their early 20s and could...

Does anyone remember who was Case's deputy at Real Madrid? Or Pirlo's? Or Busquet's? You don't need to have a backup player with the exact profile and quality as your first team player. It is unrealistic in many cases. Amrabat, Erikssen, McTominay, and Mainoo, are more than enough.

Kane

I hope he has an elite fitness coach at the level of Antonio Pintus or Giuseppe Ventrone. Our physicality has been one of our unsolved problems in recent years.

We overpaid for players because we were always hell-bent on one particular player, as if there was no other acceptable solution available. This happened because our board always tried to please our new manager, and our new manager only wanted a player that suited his strategy. It is not really...

Cristiano Ronaldo without a doubt. Raul may not be well-known to those who did not follow Real Madrid in the 1990s or the early 2000s. Although most people think of Raul as the RM captain when they hear his name, Raul was not RM captain in any of the three UCL championships he won. After...

I'm tempted to give the armband to Rashford (as part of his new contract) and Luke Shaw as vice captains based on the fact that they are two of our club's longest-serving members. I like how Real Madrid and Barcelona operate this way. Less hassle and as a way to appreciate players loyalty.

He missed half the season because of injuries. He ended the season with 14/7 G/A contributions from 37 appearances, slightly better than Edin Dzeko, who had 14/7 G/A contributions from 52 appearances. He is not a world beater, but a player with a 200+ goal record always has a place in top-level...
