Not with that shit back 4, especially with Bellerin still out.

The ironic thing is, they way their midfield is playing atm, they sure could use Kovacic, lolol Madrid is a bloody mess atm. If Casemiro or Varane go down injured, they are absolutely fucked.

Agreed I was pushing for Pasalic months ago to get a hard look (and that was also to do with Donkeywater and Donkeybaka) when I was unsure we could sign Kovacic, but overall would take Kovacic in a flash over him. The only thing Mateo doesn't do is score a lot (well none so far for us) but he offers so much more in most other facets. So happy we bought him, he is a class player and a good bloke.

Salzburg, what a shithole

lol at 'pub side' if we had played like that versus their sides of 2 or 3 years ago (or before) they would have beaten us Salzburg is in a rebuilding year, so not representative of what they usually are ask Bayern and Pep if they think they are a 'pub side'

Official: AC Milan beat Premier League clubs to Lille sensation Rafael Leão https://www.101greatgoals.com/news/official-ac-milan-beat-premier-league-clubs-to-lille-sensation-rafael-leao/ Serie A giants AC Milan have this afternoon confirmed the signing of Lille youngster Rafael Leao. Lille prodigy Leao, a 20-year-old Portuguese striker, came up through the youth ranks of Sporting CP, before making the move to Ligue 1 outfit Lille on a free transfer last summer. After initially struggling for game-time over the early months of his debut campaign at the Stade Pierre Mauroy, Leao began to carve out consistent playing time for himself around Christmas, quickly going on to showcase his immense potential. A purple patch of form between the middle of December and beginning of February saw the gifted hitman find the net 6 times over the space of 7 league appearances. As such, though his goalscoring exploits waned as the campaign wore on, Leao’s talents nevertheless saw him earn a host of admirers across Europe.

Dodi Lukebakio: Watford sell striker to Hertha Berlin for reported £20m https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/49196777 Watford have sold Dodi Lukebakio to Hertha Berlin for a reported £20m, despite the striker only playing a total of 15 minutes for the Hornets. The 21-year-old Belgian joined Watford from Anderlecht in January 2018 and was a substitute in a 2-0 Premier League defeat at West Ham the following month. He spent last season on loan with Bundesliga side Fortuna Dusseldorf, scoring 14 goals in 34 games. That included a hat-trick in a 3-3 draw with Bayern Munich in November. The Belgium Under-21 international is the only player to ever score three goals in a Bundesliga game against Manuel Neuer. "Hertha is a big club in Germany and showed a lot of interest in me," said Lukebakio after signing what his new club call a long-term deal. "I knew very quickly that I wanted to join the club. I want to play a lot of football here and score loads of goals." snip Lille are pissed

roflmaoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo BURN

no, it was Marina Conte said Donkeywater was not who he wanted Conte had a fit when Matic left, like Sarri did with Cesc we should have snatched up Corentin Tolisso yet another huge cock-up

FUCK, AIK just crashed out of the CL here at home on away goals via a 117th minute goal, so a shit Maribor team go through, grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr at least we still have the EL now as we are league champions so slide over

spuds just beat Bayern on pens to win the Audi Cup

that is not their style they have a dynamic MF and they like to press they bought just Salzburg's best fullback, Stefan Lainer and these two MFers were looked at by us Neuhaus has star potential Stindl, Embolo (new buy and another Swiss national), and especially Alassane Plea are dangerous up front and they just bought a great young LW, Marcus Thuram, 1.92m beast, 21yo from Gunigamp, who replaces Thorgan Hazard and they also have a decent RWer in Patrick Herrmann

he and AC are our two best CB's Luiz is fading Zouma, well, meh hopefully Reece heals quick and can replace Azpi and Azpi be the 3rd CB option, or 4th (or Reece at CB, but he is more needed at RB, as Azpi is just never going to be dynamic there) unlike Emerson, Zouma (as I have been saying since I joined) still does not look fully recovered from that devastating knee injury he looks to still have lost a step, and his positional play is just not up to level

they have a great CB pair, and a superb young DMF the last two are stars for that really solid Swiss national team

great goal by Bats, he made it hard too

jinx

Zouma has been solid, had some great blocks

oh, the presenter said 5 already I thought that seemed high

if we beat the bindippers, it will be Pedro's SIXTH UEFA Super Cup trophy that is just bonkers

insane skill and WHAT a pass
