Vesper

I thought it was Inter v Napoli that was mentioned, if not, my bad, I did not look at the schedule

In a semi perfect world (only one of these things takes magic to make true) Rudiger's injury would have just been a sprain, and he would have been 100% fit by early to mid July We would have sold Zouma for £35-40m or so to the desperate Everton who deffo woukd have splashed that cash We would have gotten £17-20m for Luiz from the even more desperate Arse (as he had just sign a new 2 year contract so we had leverage Leaving us at CB with Rudiger AC Tomori Ampadu (he is getting NO minutes at Leipzig on loan so a bad move by us yet again) even though I think his true future is in MF in a Tonali/Jorginho type role and/or (as we had an extra roster spot) Marc Guehi (just blood the lad as needed, he certainly looked good enough in pre season to be a 4th or 5th CB) And we will have even more CB cover with Reece when he is 100% healthy So all those options at CB, plus around £50m more in the bank I would be over the moon if that had happened, even taking away the 2 month earlier recovery of Rudiger, although that would have NAILED it all

23 (just for historical accuracy) unless another one was added via a post game update

I wish I could make a potential £300m (and there are more on top of that in just the past 3 years) series of errors and keep my placement. Marina and the board must be a witches under charm protection.

sorry I was late we were out

CIES Football Observatoryn°267 - 16/09/2019 Performance Champions League: like it short (Ajax) or long (Liverpool)? https://football-observatory.com/IMG/sites/b5wp/2019/wp267/en/ Issue number 267 of the CIES Football Observatory Weekly Post analyses the exclusive data produced by our partners InStat by ranking Champions League teams according to the average length of the passes achieved in domestic league games so far this season. Past edition semi-finalists Ajax have the lowest figure (15.96 meters), ahead of Paris St-Germain (16.17) and Barcelona (16.56). At the opposite end of the table are Czech champions Slavia Praha with an average length of 19.82 meters (+24% compared to Ajax). Title holder Liverpool has so far achieved the fourth longest passes among group stage participants: 19.45 meters on average. This figure is significantly higher than for their main Premier League rivals Manchester City (17.39). The majority of high-profile teams are among those making the shortest passes. Apart from Liverpool, the only recent Champions League finalist with an average length of passes greater than 18 meters is Atlético Madrid. Diego Simeone’s team achieved the third lowest number of passes per game (379), while Lucien Favre’s Borussia Dortmund made the most (735). Average length of passes Domestic League matches played between 01/07/2019 and 12/07/2019. Data: InStat.

Look at it from a pure monetary standpoint. For £16m (and a shit tonne lower salary overall in the long term) more than Higs we could have outright owned Piatek. THAT would have let us sell Bats, which would have covered the cost of Piatek basically completely. Giroud is basically shit other than as a change-up now, and Tammy, the way he is playing would have made Piatek the backup (or pair them is a front two). IF we were unhappy with Piatek, sell him on (more than likely for a BIG profit) I would have so little issues with Tammy and Piatek as our two strikers for years to come. Odds are high they both would get a shedload of playing time, due to the massive amount of games we play and also (dog forbid) an injury to one or the other. So, all in all, I think we cocked-it up badly, from pretty much every angle. It is always good to buy expensive players (youngish ones at that) for a low price, as you can sell them on for a profit. Think of it as the ANTI-DRINKWATER ET.AL. model. IF Willian walks on a free,and if we simply cannot sell Drinkwater and even have a hard time loaning him out again, just those two cunts will have cost us well over £125m in lost potential revenue/pissed away fees/salary combined. THAT is seriously fucked up fiduciary malfeasance. Add in the combined loss of potential sale rev on Cuntois and Eden (due to non timely sales/HORRID contractual management) of at least £90-100m combined (and that can skyrocket to well over £125m plus IF Eden's add-on targets are not met) and you are talking around a QUARTER OF A BILLION QUID in less monies we have from pure cock-ups with just those four players. That is NOT even counting the Higs vis-a-vis Piatek fiscal part. Add that in plus the £30m or less Alisson would have cost in 2017 versus the £71m a 2018 Kepa cost and you are now WELL over £300m shit away. Bad fiduciary management adds up FAST.

a scouser nation of the shittiest type of chavs imaginable the utter worst of England

I am much less stressed atm in terms of CF due to the phenomenal rise of Tammy so far this year. My number one target, Iñaki Williams, was basically taken off the board when he renewed for NINE years with Athletic Bilbao, with a crazy high €135m release clause. The last 10, 12 games I have seen Krzysztof Piątek play, he has scored one goal from open play, and just now a pen. Whilst buying him for £31m in January, instead of pissing away £15m on a 6 month loan (fee plus salary) for the wretched Higs would have been great business relatively speaking, I doubt that AC Milan will sell him for less than £60m or so, unless he completely collapses, at which point, why buy him for anything over that £30m or so anyway. IF Tammy puts in a great 25, 30 goal season, then I see no reason to go out and buy another striker UNLESS we sell Bats. Giroud is gone for sure this coming summer., so maybe we can buy a cheaper (far cheaper than say my top target, Moussa Dembele) 3rd option, IF we want to roll with 3 strikers, which Lamps seems to favour. Asking someone to come in as a 3rd option (IF Bats is not sold) is a tough pull, as most any decent striker will not want to ride the bench most of the time (ie. look at Giroud bitching now.) We probably would go for either a super young one (my preferred choice) or an older one, maybe a Giroud type of bigger target type for a change up. Sandro Wagner, maybe, IF he accepts a strictly backup role, but he also will probably not want to give up his massive Chinese salary. IF we also sell Bats, then Dembele would be my first choice to buy, as he flourishes in a front 2 set-up, and that gives us options galore to pair him with Tammy. I am very conscious of not wanting to block youth, which is why I see absolutely zero need to buy another AMF, even if we sell Barkley. The other reason for no AMF buy for me is that there really is only one who will be available who remotely interest me, Kai Havertz, and he will cost £100m more than likely, so is a no go. AMF (at least available ones) is also one of the weaker positions out there in terms of quantity players who are actually available, with the only other 2 I truly rate for a buy (IF we had to actually go and get one) are also going to be very expensive: Donny van de Beek (Ajax) and Nicolò Zaniolo (Roma) There is one final AMF option, who would cost by far the least of all I listed, Dani Olmo, a 21yo Spaniard (Barca Academy) from Dinamo Zagreb, who has had an explosive start to the year, with 4 goals and 4 assists in less than 5 full games worth of minutes, all but 1 and 1 of those coming in the Champions League, and in his one league game he also had a goal and an assist. I do NOT want to block any of our youth that are good enough. If Reece James comes good at RB, I see no need to go and try and prise away a Kimmich type. I advocate selling Azpi whilst we can still get a decent return and buying Timothy Castagne, a 23yo Belgian RB from Atalanta who would be a great backup and will not cost an arm and a leg. LB is not quite the same, with me advocating selling Alonso, and going for someone of equal or better quality to Emerson, say Alex Telles (next summer is the last summer I can recco buying him due to his age, he will be the same age as I am (27) in less than 3 months) or Jose Gaya or Alejandro Grimaldo (Chillwell will cost too much I fear, I see Leicester demanding at least £70m, maybe more.) For CB, unless we sell AC (and we simply MUST sell Zouma next summer, he is never going to be good enough) I have only one want, and it is now the most important need on the team, A TRULY WC CB. (with winger a close second, unless we also lose CHO, then it is panic mode there, even worse than CB.) I have posted my choices multiple times (Romagnoli, Konate, Skriniar, Giminez, Marquinhos, and maybe Dias) Koulibally is now too old to buy next summer (he turns 29yo in June). We simply must have 4 quality CB's if we are serious about being a top 10 in the world team, and other than Rudiger (who is top 20 or so but not top 10) we do not have that KILLER one now. Tomori may get there, but do we really want to roll with only him, Rudiger and AC? My answer is NO. IF one of those 3 goes down, we then have NO quality backup/rotational CB's. I do not (and here I am probably falling into your 'blocking youth' paradigm) rate Ampadu as a CB at the moment. He is getting zero minutes at RB Leipzig (a bad loan destination which I called as soon as I saw it) and I see his future in MF anyway. I think of all the positions, my predictive track record for all teams in terms of their CB's is rather good. I alone or close to alone (from what I have seen) predicted the nightmare for Shitty they now face, and that was PRE Laporte injury. Losing him for 6 or 8 months really is going to fuck them hard. I said the same for Arse and Manure as well, and well... Luiz, roflmaoooooo. I said Barca will have issues as well, due to their swing and a big miss on De Ligt and tha is being born out now too (Umiti is injured yet again, leaving a 19yo Jean-Clair Todibo as their only backup). Victimpool has been saved by the elevation to truly WC by Matip (not exactly out of nowhere, but still Klopp has turned him into a monster, beyond what I thought possible, Gomez's injury was a strange type of godsend for the Bindippers, as it truly unleashed Matip to go full-blown star.) The last position of need (and potentially massive need IF we lose CHO) is winger. Even if we keep Pedro for one last year, we still need a massive upgrade for next year. Willian should have been gone in summer 2018, and like fuck if that twat is still here in 2021 bumbling around the pitch at 32 years of age (Pedro will be 33.) This is not the bloody Serie A old folks home. THAT will drive me crazier than a rat in a tin shithouse!! Winger is not Mount's natural position, and if we do lose CHO, that means we are down to Pulisic and a 33yo Pedro. There are no youth to block, zero in the pipeline who are remotely ready to go. I REALLY want Sancho, do not care if we have to dump out £120m, £130m to do it. We should have, if we clear the books, around half a billion quid in the bank. ZERO excuse to not go and grab a WC CB (or even two if we sell AC) and then a WC winger, and TWO (Chiesa or Oyarzabal or Richarlison or, IF a fair price, Zaha, AND Zaha can play CF too, so that would solve a need there) for sure IF we also lose CHO. I think that summary both reflects reality and is respectful of not blocking youth paths.

Oh, sorry I was not more specific, I meant league games only. And I am a big Inter fangirl so hope they beat the poison dwarves

Big difference between thinking a player we already have from youth level is not ready and then thinking the inverse (that a player will be great) on one who cost £40m and was meant to be a massive part of the team. I stand by my call on Mount at that time as he HAD went through a big slump period. I never ever slated him long term, just thought he needed another year of prep. That is nowhere near as much of a cockup as think Bakayoko was going ro be a monster.

He didnt want to go back to the Manc shithole he is a London lad when he was having the drama at Shitty, I saw an interview where he hinted at saying he did not like living in Manchester which is the sign of an intelligent person, lololol

Yes, I see so many turning on Pulisc already It s so ironic, as I was the one who called it a 'marketing ploy' from the start BUT once he came here, I am now super patient, I think he can be a superb player for us, he has explosive pace and will start to learn the level of play here over the next few months others are already, after just a couple games, calling the WILLIAN of today ten times better WTF

LOL, well I have you beat, I was 90% sure Bakayoko was going to be a super beast in the EPL My biggest cock-up ever on a player for us, I normally am great at sniffing out shite

just saw this, it is madness Falcao gets God-like welcome at Galatasaray Radamel Falcao was welcomed by 10's of thousands of fans in an a wild celebration of his signing at the Turk Telekom Stadium. https://video.eurosport.com/football/football-video-god-like-welcome-for-falcao-as-he-s-unveiled-at-galatasaray_vid1237950/video.shtml

Only 5 games (only 3 in Italy) into the season, and the ONLY unbeaten, undrawn teams in major European football are Klopp's Bindippers and Conte's Inter

Who should stay next year Kepa Jamie Cumming Antonio Rüdiger Andreas Christensen Fikayo Tomori Emerson Reece James Jorginho Ross Barkley N'Golo Kanté Mateo Kovacic Ruben Loftus-Cheek Mason Mount Callum Hudson-Odoi Christian Pulisic Pedro <<< his last year with us should be next season Michy Batshuayi Tammy Abraham we need to buy a backup keeper, a WC CB, a LB, a RB, a WC Winger, a young MF to start to work in over the next 2 or 3 years to replace Kante (Kante turns 30 next season, eeeeek), and another decent CF who needs to go Go GO and be replaced Willy Caballero (he is just getting too old, he will be 39 near the beginning of next year, 6 or so league games in) Kurt Zouma <<< NEVER wil be good enough Marcos Alonso < truly has to go, if we do sell him next year, we will get shit for him as he turns 30 in the middle of next season (I fucking hate our board) César Azpilicueta <<<< FFS cash in on him whilst we can at least get something remotely decent in terms of return Willian << at this point it will not shock me if he leaves on a free (thus costing us the FULL £65m in lost revenue from that 2018 Barca turndown, FUCK YOU Marina), one of my least favourite Chels players of all-time, he is poison and arguably one of the most overrated players in the last 10 years of world football Olivier Giroud Loan Out Ethan Ampadu (we may have to recall him from RB Leipzig and find a new team for him as they are refusing to play him even though he just starred for Wales over the international break) Trevoh Chalobah Dujon Sterling Conor Gallagher Marc Guehi Billy Gilmour Tariq Uwakwe Karlo Žiger Tariq Lamptey Ian Maatsen Tino Anjorin George McEachran Loan Army who need to be sold (I am SO fucking sick of these names) Marco van Ginkel (his career has been ruined by injures, and just know he worsened it again) Nathan Matt Miazga Davide Zappacosta Danny Drinkwater Kenedy Abdul Rahman Baba Danilo Pantic Tiemoué Bakayoko Eduardo Lucas Piazón Jamal Blackman Juan Castillo <<<< so pisses me off, as we loaned him to Ajax as soon as he renewed, BUT we gave them a goddamn option to buy, which they will sure use, so he is gone Jake Clarke-Salter Josh Grant Richard Nartey Charly Musonda Lewis Baker Jacob Maddox Luke McCormick Mario Pašalić Victor Moses Izzy Brown Ike Ugbo

Very unimpressed with Milan, other than Romagnoli. Piątek has been so meh.

Upon reflection, this was one of the most bizarre EPL games I have seen in the last ten years. Xhaka said, in his post game interview, that they were 'afraid' of Watford starting about ten minutes into the second half and basically capitulated.

Shitty average the highest shots per game so far at 19. Arse gave up 23 IN A HALF to a team that was averaging 13 per full game. Roflmaooo. Half of their team was literally just walking around, exhausted the last 15 minutes. Özil, Pepe, and Aubameyang did almost nothing on defence the entire game.

Robbie is probably well past mental already. Roflmaoooo

Wrong year m8, I am talking about the summer of 2018, when Marina said no to £65m from Barca for him, and we were not under a transfer ban
