Vesper

no no well, yes about that bastard Collymore

just sick of these nonsensical rumours I did a little backgrounding on the CB, Lucas Verissimo my main question is why he is basically 25yo (in 22 days) and still playing is the shit Brasil league? he is good in the air, decent size Léo Santos from Corinthians looks decent too

lol, Ma chérie tu es jolie avec un corps impoli Les hommes sont sans pitié, interdit de les approcher Avec le temps, tu embellis T'es mieux que l'ex à Balotelli M'en veux pas d'me méfier Homme-femme y'a pas d'amitié Si je t'aime, je suis jaloux Quand j'aime, je suis jaloux Si je t'aime, je suis jaloux Évidemment que je suis jaloux roflmaooooooooooooooo

hej hej welcome and I completed the survey cheers

Gerson was meh at Roma, loaned out to Fiorentina, meh again, fobbed off at a 5m euro loss back to Brasil for 11m euro, and now they want 35m or 40m euros??????? they can go FUCK themselves Vai se foder!

FUCK THAT CUNT COLLYMORE fucking pyscho he is HATED still here in Sweden for punching and kicking Ulrika Jonsson in the head at the 1998 WC in Paris I hope he chokes on a bag of scouser dicks, with few extra rammed up his batty

Aouar is a completely different type of player. He has 3 goals and 3 assist in 2000 league minutes this season he is a linkage player, superb in the middle of the pitch but is not a pure scorer nor pure assist man (yet) Havertz was THE FIRST EVER teenager to score 20 goals as a MFer in European history of major football. He also became the first player in history to score 35 Bundesliga goals before the age of 21 He has been on an absolute tear since the Bundesliga came back from winter break 17 games all comps 12 goals, 7 assists 7 goals in his last 6 games at CF (at the age of 20) as a teen last year 20 goals, 7 assists on a meh team that finished 20 points off Bayern, 18 off Dortmund and had five other teams clipping at their heels, all within 3 to 7 points (and he played zero games at CF) if you watch him play and do not see insane native talent and drive, then I cannot help you

Ralph Hasenhüttl would BOTH his jacobs to have Werner walk onto to the St Mary's pitch in red and white come home game week one

I must say I am dismayed at how much Werner dislike (cant say hate yet) there is and the lad hasn't even kicked a fucking ball for us. FFS, we got a WC striker for only around £49m to £53m and some act like the damn sky is falling. I am fucking over the moon baby!! OVER THE FUCKING MOON!!! SMDH

not many teams do Brasilians are usually either superstars or frustrating busts or meh players, with some solid ones who normally are never the massively hyped ones there are only 10 superstar ones on the planet atm, and 2 of the ten are GK'ers (Alisson and Ederson) I am not counting Coutinho, and Arthur and Gabriel Jesus are reaches and TBH, only the top 5 are going to be unanimous (some may put in Coutinho at 11 or higher and call him WC, I might, but the Barca move fucked him up for some bizarre reason, still shocked he did not tear it up there) Neymar Alisson Roberto Firmino Casemiro Marquinhos Fabinho Richarlison Ederson Arthur Gabriel Jesus

Romagnoli, Skriniar ,Jiminez, Marquinhos, Varane (only if you use Kante as bait) are all absolutely stellar WC, CBs, none will ever be cheaper until they are near or over 30, and then the truly WC but 29yo Kalidou Koulibaly and the near (number 11 in the world for me, with top 10 being WC) WC but 28yo Stefan de Vrij (who would be 20m less than Skriniar due to age) and the near WC Rúben Dias and Caglar Söyüncü (too expensive for what Leicester will demand but he is damn near WC, end EPL-proven. I would take him all day all night over Harry Maguire (I am sure the English only crowd will have an explosion on that) and there is wild card de Ligt (Jorginho plus Emerson plus 15m euros for de Ligt and Alex Sandro? <<<<< I like Jorginho, just tossing that out there) point being you have to do serious negations and also sell off one or 2 of ours (Zouma and/or AC) its all super fluid and up in the air, but no one can say there are not WC centre backs out there who can be prised out with max effort and tonne of cash these are the only 10 CBs who are truly WC atm and only 2 are utterly impossible to buy (VVD and Lucas, Verane could be had for Kante plus who knows what, ALTHOUGH this is probably the last year I would say BUY at a crazy price, as he turns 28 in Spring, and only getting one full sub 30yo year (which is the case if we bought him in summer 2021) is a non-no for me at that price (look at KK, for sure and now de Virj who is basically a year older than Verane) Raphaël Varane (27 and I still would take hi over VVD, I now I am in super small minority, and until last season, I think KK was better too, maybe even better than Varane for a brief period, but probably not, but those 3 have been FAR and away the top 3 CB's in the world for years as Chiellini, etc are just too old, prime Chiellini is their equal) Virgil van Dijk (29 in 4 weeks) Kalidou Koulibaly (29 and I so so hope doesnt end up at Manure) Aymeric Laporte Milan Skriniar José Giménez Marquinhos (crazy thing is he is now also a top 5 DMF, along with Kimmich who also switched to DMF this season) Alessio Romagnoli Lucas Hernández (top 5 LB too) Matthijs de Ligt (I think he did better at Juve the 2nd half and so would not remotely say he is a bust at all, that is madness and I have not changed my mind on rating him WC still, just dropped him down a couple places atm)

Barkley needs to go and IF we could get what CIES has just now rated Mount at bye bye Mason it is insane

this is fucked every club in the world can take a run at Werner for the next 2 months now unless we get the damn thing finished

in springtime next season they will be a combined 70 years old! Arse needs to sign Dani Alves and the trio will be 108 then Buffon for backup keeper 151 years for the quartet roflmaoooooooooooooooooooooo

n°299 - 08/06/2020 Weekly Post Values Biannual CIES Football Observatory transfer value list The 299th edition of the Weekly Post presents the 100 big-5 league players with the highest estimated transfer values according to the CIES Football Observatory algorithm. Kylian Mbappé tops the list ahead of four Englishmen: Raheem Sterling, Jadon Sancho, Trent Alexander-Arnold and Marcus Rashford. The young Bayern Munich prodigy Alphonso Davies enters the top 10. Despite the COVID-19 crisis, the estimated transfer value of Kylian Mbappé remains very high: €259.2 million. The French striker is still very young and his contract with Paris St-Germain only ends in 2023. With just one year of contract remaining and almost 33 years of age, Lionel Messi (€100.1 M) only ranks 21st. Cristiano Ronaldo (€62.8 M, 70th) is the oldest player in the top 100 list. In total, 22 big-5 league footballers have an estimated value of more than €100 million. Alphonso Davies (9th, €133.5 M) is the youngest footballer in the top 20 ahead of Erling Haland (15th, €107.3 M). The most expensive players per position are Ederson Moraes (€86.8 M) for goalkeepers, Matthijs de Ligt (€104.7 M) for centre backs, Trent Alexander-Arnold (€171.1 M) for full backs, Frenkie de Jong (€102.1 M) for defensive midfielders, Bruno Fernandes (€104.9 M) for attacking midfielders and Kylian Mbappé (€259.2 M) for forwards.

I gotta think that the board is really wary of two major things CHO's legal situ and Tammy not signing a new contract we are seemingly going for very versatile wide players, like Werner and Ziyech Havertz is even more so he can play 8 positions LW, RW, CF, SS, AMF, CMF, LMF, RMF and 9 if you count a roaming No 10 (which I call an AMF) we (if true) just went up around 5m, to 75m I think 80-85m quid (90-96m euros)takes him for sure, despite Bayer saying 100m or bust at £80m he is around £50m cheaper than what I think Sancho would have went for pre-COVID Tonali turned down BARCA, he does not want to leave Italy at all (Barella 2.0) so he is off the table for me, unless we go for Partey (only because of his low release clause) there are not many other CMF or DMF out there who I am just like OMG! we have to grab them the ones who are are too expensive (Saul, Camavinga, Houssem Aouar, Declan Rice, and Ndidi mainly) I reallllllllllly hope we buy either Cakir or Predrag Rajkovic as a GK, I have been watching film on Kepa, and omg, is it depressing and worrying and let the LB chips fall where they may, IF Leicester wont budge off their insane price, then I would just stop gap it and swap Emerson for Alex Sandro and try later on for Chilwell or another (as Alex Sandro can become the backup when Alonso is eventually shipped out) Alex Sandro and Alonso are more than good enough for me at LB for the upcoming year given all the other massive deals we are trying to do, I think Theo Hernandez would be my overall pick, BUT IF we do Havertz, no chance as he will be at least £40m plus and even more so if we do a CB as well CB, I have ZERO clue what we are going to do, Lamps seems publicly to be happy with who he has now, the only really serious link of of the 10 or so targets has been Gabriel, but who the hell knows. I have wanted Romagnoli for 6 years now, since he had his breakout at Sampdoria on loan from Roma in 2014/15, and will still have him as my number one left-footed CB want until summer 2023 closes out, at which point (as he turns 29 in January 2024) he slides off my list due to age. If we get him now, we get 6 peak years out of him, maybe 7. Nathan Aké is just not to my level, sorry, nor is another left-footer, Abdou Diallo (PSG) only other CBs who interest me are insanely hard to get (impossible probably) Raphaël Varane, José Giménez , Kalidou Koulibaly (too old though, he turns 30 right after next season ends), Marquinhos, Milan Skriniar or others with a caveat Presnel Kimpembe (left footed, but not sure if he really is WC, and also very doubtful that PSG will sell him for a fair price, AND he may not want to leave as well) or are very young to pretty young with no big 5 experience (Dias) ................Edmond Tapsoba, Rúben Dias (most expensive of the 23yo and unders), Marash Kumbulla, Merih Demiral, Ozan Kabak, Pau Torres, Luiz Felipe, and Mohammed Salisu (only other left footer)

Inter Agree Terms With Sandro Tonali But Need To Find Agreement With Brescia https://sempreinter.com/2020/06/07/inter-ahead-in-race-to-sign-tonali-but-still-no-agreement-with-brescia/ Italian Media Highlights Inter’s Plan To Sign Sandro Tonali Under Juventus Noses https://sempreinter.com/2020/06/07/inter-have-a-plan-to-sign-juve-target-sandro-tonali/ 'Tonali is much more complete than me' - Pirlo thinks Brescia talent will become a star https://www.goal.com/en/news/tonali-is-much-more-complete-than-me-pirlo-thinks-brescia-talent-/1lbk3lk293yf81bai6mlbii4es Brescia president: Barcelona offered €65m plus two players for Tonali https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/brescia-president-barcelona-offered-euro-65m-plus-two-players-for-tonali/view/news/361889 "He has the quality to play for Inter Milan," Inter sporting director Piero Ausilio recently said in an interview about Sandro Tonali. "But the thing that is missing is the economic foundation to be signed by us," Ausilio added, indirectly complaining about Brescia Calcio's high demands for the player. Brescia Calcio president Massimo Cellino recently underlined his club's financial demands in an interview with Corriere dello Sport in which he spoke about a failed bid by Barcelona. "Nasser Ghanim Al-Khelaïfi would love to have him in Paris, he just wrote me today," Cellino said. "But Tonali will not go to France. Inter and Juventus are the clubs he prefers." Napoli and Fiorentina are two more Italian clubs interested in the 20-year-old midfielder. "[Napoli president] Aurelio de Laurentiis have offered €40 million. Fiorentina would also like to sign him." The most significant offer, however, arrived from Spain. "Before the coronavirus pandemic, Barcelona were willing to pay €65 million, plus two interesting players with a market value of €7.5 million—one of them a defensive player. The Catalans received an answer they didn't like, and it didn't come from Tonali." According to the Spanish paper, Mundo Deportivo, citing club sources, Barcelona have never made an offer. Celino's statements are just a vehicle to drive up Tonali's price. "Tonali's contract runs until 2021, Brescia are last and will likely be relegated," Jatin Dietl, Area Manager Italy said. "Even though the club has an option to renew his contract for one more year, Tonali will leave Brescia. As a result, the club is attempting to get the best possible price in what has been a difficult market."

Leverkusen try to keep Wirtz’s feet on the ground after teenager makes history https://theathletic.com/1858054/2020/06/08/honigstein-florian-wirtz-leverkusen-bundesliga-bayern/ Florian Wirtz’s fourth Bundesliga appearance for Bayer Leverkusen earned some mixed reviews. His coach Peter Bosz, for starters, wasn’t overly impressed. He felt that the 17-year-old had been “taught the best lesson since he started playing football” in the 4-2 home defeat by Bayern Munich on Saturday. “He lost almost all of the first few balls he received, the pace was much higher than he’s used to,” the Dutchman said, not unreasonably. Up against the mercurial talents of Alphonso “Roadrunner” Davies, second-half substitute Wirtz was unwittingly cast in the Wile E Coyote role, a hapless assailant unable to lay a finger on his adversary. The youngster’s luck changed five minutes from the end, however. Bayern were leading 4-1. The game — and the league — were effectively won, so Hansi Flick gave another run-out to Lucas Hernandez on the left. The World Cup-winner had hardly been on the pitch a couple of minutes when Wirtz’s quick feet turned him inside out like a fine shrimp tempura roll, and he capped off the delicious move with a curled shot with his weaker left foot past Manuel Neuer. Bayer’s second goal amounted to little more than Ergebniskosmetik — result cosmetics, as the rather lovely German football cliche has it — but for Wirtz it was a historical achievement. At 17 years and 34 days, he became the youngest goalscorer in Bundesliga history. Bosz was right to say that Wirtz had struggled for most of his cameo but the verdict reflected pastoral care rather than an intention to throw the player under a metaphorical bus. The 56-year-old knew that the noise surrounding German football’s latest teenage sensation would only get louder after his goalscoring feat against the champions-elect, offering up an overtly harsh assessment to tone down the excitement and keep the player’s feet on the ground. However, he couldn’t resist a moment of praise, saying that Wirtz was “a friendly and intelligent player — and of course a huge talent”. That much has been obvious for a while. Born in Cologne, Wirtz had been part of the FC Koln youth set-up since the age of seven and developed into one of the most coveted young players in Europe in recent years. Bayern Munich, Porto and Liverpool all tried to lure him to their academies, but his parents wanted him to stay at home and finish his exams, which helped Leverkusen’s cause: they’re only 30 minutes away from Cologne. Leverkusen were able to offer more money than Koln as well as a proven track record of bringing through young players like Kai Havertz or Julian Brandt (now at Borussia Dortmund) at Champions League level. In addition, Wirtz’s older sister Juliane was already playing for the Leverkusen women’s team. The player’s ceiling was seen as so high that Leverkusen went against a 19-year-old mutual agreement with Koln and Borussia Monchengladbach that stipulated that the three Rhineland clubs should not target each other’s youngsters. Bayer director Rudi Voller justified Wirtz’s controversial move in January with the fact that he was out of contract this summer. “The player was on the market and willing to go. It would have been grossly negligent not to enter negotiations,” the former Germany international told sports magazine Kicker. Leverkusen also argued that they didn’t break the agreement, strictly speaking: they hadn’t signed Wirtz (16 at the time) for their academy but for the seniors. In light of his lightning-fast progress, it’s hard to disagree. Wirtz first trained with Bosz’s team before the Europa League game at Rangers in March and went straight into the starting XI for Leverkusen’s comeback from the COVID-19 break against Werder Bremen (4-1) last month. He has since played at least 45 minutes in all but one match (he was an unused substitute against Gladbach) despite top competition in the attacking midfield positions. “Footballing-wise, he’s incredibly advanced,” the Leverkusen defender Sven Bender said. Leverkusen are careful not to put too much pressure on his shoulders by way of public plaudits, but they also can’t help but feel proud about having such a hot prospect on their hands. Sporting director Simon Rolfes told The Athletic that Wirtz was “the biggest talent of his age group” in Germany, a player who “combines great technique and the ability to find space with a hard-working attitude”. German FA head youth coach Meikel Schonweitz has praised him as “a very fine footballer, a creative midfielder who anticipates situations before they arise. Thanks to his good orientation and his intelligence he can react quicker. He’s our great hope”. Comparisons with another Leverkusen superstar in the making are inevitable, Leverkusen youth coach Patrick Helmes agreed in an interview with Sport1: “Flo has abilities that cannot be learned, his movement in spaces, the solutions for pressurised situations. He has quite a few similarities with Kai Havertz.” Koln’s former head of the youth academy, Jorg Jakobs, believes Wirtz might actually surpass the 20-year-old Havertz. “He can do anything,” Jakobs said. “If he stays healthy, he’ll become a player of the Kai Havertz category — at a minimum.” Bosz and Leverkusen will have their work cut out dialling down the hype in the coming weeks. It’s not the worst problem to have.
