  1. La Liga 2023/24: ¡Madrid campeón!

    The guideline here is, lets make it happen that Barca finishes at CL spots. Because honestly outside of some crazy scenario that Madrid goes full meltdown while Barca does 180, they are leaking simply to much goals while playing absolutely attrocious to finish top 3, and possibly even top 4 if...
  2. La Liga 2023/24: ¡Madrid campeón!

    Of course he does not know considering Yamal is behind him initially. Nobody is doing 360 look around in such situations to see where the players are considering you are in the box while ball is in the air. You are trying to make a clearance ASAP. Meanwhile the interesting part being Yamal is...
  3. La Liga 2023/24: ¡Madrid campeón!

    Considering Celta player was on the ball and Lamine went into his shot path with his back, seeking for contact, that for me is not a penalty. But the absurd thing being was the repeat. Half a second to early and less than half a meter from the line, because Lewandowski stopped his run just...
  4. Kylian Mbappe

    Considering Madrid is already thin upfront, buying Mbappe and selling Rodrygo would make no sense whatsoever. Let alone selling Vinny. Brahim / Arda will be obvious choices. Loan in case of Arda, while Brahim probably sold.
  5. La Liga 2023/24: ¡Madrid campeón!

    The issue is you are disregarding rotation of body. Basically when looking at situation in certain angle it looked like basically he played with hand like a tennis racket. In such case you provide enough force. Anyway it is 50-50 call. Big teams will get it, small usually not. The issue for me...
  6. Kylian Mbappe

    Mbappe was not born in the 60s +. His "judgement" should apply by today`s standards. The reality is, that club level has developed massively in last decades, and overrun NT level by a large margin. It is purely question of quality and scale. Nobody serious will consider adding Mbappe among the...

    Kane was probably never in the serious discussion considering his age and price, while Haaland was bound for City anyway. As for Mbappe. His actions with PSG show massive character issues which lead to him being completely unsustainable, financially and sporting wise. Perez sees that, i have...
  8. Kylian Mbappe

    Club football easily stomps NT football. No way Mbappe reaches Messi / CR7 level with NT success, while spending his prime years in PSG. To be honest, we are witnessing even bigger waste story in the making than Neymar leaving Barca for PSG.
  9. Is Pep the greatest manager of all time?

    We had two Italian teams in the semis. Club level in 22/23 was weak as frack.
  10. Is Pep the greatest manager of all time?

    Are you seriously comparing chunk of La Liga money with a State owning a club, artificially inflating clubs revenue, and pouring its assets into the club with window-dressing? Besides official figures, you should ask yourself how much additional assets have been invested in the dark. You don`t...
  11. Is Pep the greatest manager of all time?

    Sure, if not for the rhetoric of Pep being Jesus of football.
  12. Is Pep the greatest manager of all time?

    A club owned by filthy rich State which has been pouring tons of cash into the club with the usual window-dressing - tons of financial infractions, and they don`t have overwhelming advantage? Does SAF need to dust off his football boots and start actively competing to lay claim of being the...
  13. Is Pep the greatest manager of all time?

    The argument was that City has comparable squad with the rest of the Premiership. That is absolute non-sense. In terms of innovation / tactical capacity, Pep is not the greatest. In terms of results, he is not the greatest. In terms of resources at his disposal / results which forms expected...
  14. Kylian Mbappe

    There are to many variables to use term inevitable. First Qatar needs to be willing to sell. Which i doubt they will be. And if, fee will be substantial. Secondly, Mbappe needs to agree to RM`s terms and given his financial package at QSG, that will be highly demanding. Expensive as frack, time...
  15. Kylian Mbappe

    The only way i support his move to RM is in 2024 for free, with no signing bonus, 50% of image rights, normal wages and his mommy fracking off. Top tier litmus test for Mbappay. If not, good luck elsewhere. There are other and possibly better options to assemble top tier squad without drama...
