I don't believe the reported 300m or whatever signing on fee for a second. Spanish papers have a way of exaggerating things when Madrid or Barca miss out on someone. The real figures will soon start circulating. But the "power to decide" reported by romano is absolutely idiotic from PSG. They...

They were absolutely convinced mbappe was coming and neglected the haaland deal. Haaland was waiting around and finally decided to join city.

Madrid really messed up. They lost haaland and now mbappe has done a complete U-turn to screw them over.

Messi didn't hold dembele back. His injuries and decision making held him back. Xavi seems to have fixed or at least improved both of these. We'll see if he goes to PSG, him and hakimi on the same flank would be fire.

He'd be a very poor mbappe replacement. Mbappe thrives by getting in behind and finishing chances. Dembele is mainly a creative player who does his damage by supplying crosses and dribbling to the byline. They'd actually compliment each other very well tbh. Talking about that I feel like...

Nah man. I'm a huge dembele fan, but mbappe is on a completely different planet. He's pure chaos.

He's not gonna struggle. He's gonna smash teams left, right and center. He's a very dynamic player unlike Ibra who likes to stay around the box. Haaland has so much to his arsenal. Its gonna take two CBS to stop him and that'll mean more space for all of city's creative players.

Pool losing the epl title could have significance here. I don't think they'll want to finish the season without a major trophy.

Appeal to authority is not a very good argument. I've laid down my reasons for thinking frenkie is not a DM. Being an ajax fan doesn't automatically make one's assessment right. For what it's worth I've been watching frenkie for nearly 4 years

Yeah let's all laugh at the EPL champions.

Annihilate? I can't remember the last time madrid beat Barca with a large score line.

You can't give a player a libero role unless it's under very specific circumstances. An incredibly hard working no 10 and a "babysitter" midfielder beside him are just the start. De Jong doesn't need to necessarily play in those conditions to thrive. Almost all the top teams play in a midfield...

Because de Jong is NOT A DM. a midfield three of dejong-rodri- KDB is absolutely perfect. Rodri shields the defence and does the dirty work. Dejong would break the lines and progress the play through his dribbling and passing and KDB would add that creative and goal scoring element. Not one...

Y'all need to relax. Pep might choke in the UCL, but he'll never let a league title slip away from his grasp this close to the finish line. Liverpool will probably win the FA cup. The UCL is a coin toss between them and city. But the league? The league is gone.

Mark my words real are gonna get slapped by city tomorrow. Both cancelo and walker are returning and if you lock down the left wing madrid are as good as dead. It's gonna be a spanking.
