Yeah, 16 teams would be better. That way the clubs would have to actually win the top competition for their continent to qualify, instead of just being handed a spot because of some coefficient ranking. For example the participants from Europe and South America would just be the four UCL and...

Yep, overall the prize money for the whole tournament is 2.5 billion euros.

The money is actually quite significant. Just participation is said to guarantee 50M€ per club and that figure will scale upwards based on performance with the tournament winner reportedly earning up to a 100M€. Because of the amount of money involved I've got a feeling most clubs, even the...

Rüdiger was not that great back in 2014 though. By then he'd only played one full season of Bundesliga football for a club that finished one place above the relegation zone. Maybe you were linked with him when he was at Roma, around the time he signed for Chelsea? You bought Lindelöf that summer.

It will run from June 15th to July 13th 2025. Basically it looks like players are expected to re-join their club squads for this tournament right after the international break in early June so there's probably not even going to be a one week break for them. I suppose it could be possible to...

I do wonder if some of our current players could have somewhat similar transformations under better management, especially Enzo Fernandez and Moises Caicedo. Poch has gotten lots of people honestly thinking these are bad players just like the likes of Jorginho, Rüdiger, Christensen etc. were...

Had to check but that's actually true. In fact since Christmas day we've won the 4th most points despite playing the least amount of games. Every other club in the league have played ranging 14-16 matches during that time but we've only played 13. That said, we're still 14 points behind City...

Is Xabi a Liverpool legend though? His playing career was pretty evenly spread out over Real Sociedad (4 years), Liverpool (5 years), Real Madrid (5 years) and Bayern (3 years). While he was very highly rated at all his clubs, did he actually do enough to be considered a legend at any of them?

To be fair Klopp was always a knobhead. Him being at Liverpool only elevated that to another level but it was always there.

I've got a feeling the club will be after a new striker, a LB and a CB in the summer window but nothing crazy like the 2023 transfer windows. Maybe a winger as well if we somewhow manage to feck Sterling off to the Saudi but that seems unlikely for at least another year or two. Anyway, fixing...

You must be thinking of the Mourinho season. The last time we won the title our back line included the likes of David Luiz, [Irrelevant point] and Victor Moses. ;)

I've never believed even for one second the club would even entertain the idea of selling James so whether his injury record will be a deterrant to potential buyers is irrelevant. Of all the academy lads everyone else seems to have a price and some of them the club are even actively trying to...

Disasi is 26.

Depends what you consider success, I guess? Are trophies needed or are vibes enough?
