Vesper

still think we should have grabbed Totally dumped the deadwood and the overrated shit, and the troublemakers and cashed in (we would have gotten AT LEAST £175 to£185m for him) on Hazard (who will now leave and we get fucked for over £100m or so) and bought the hell out of great young players given Julian at least 3 full years to build a monster I could so so live with a couple years of EL footie (we are going to get it fucking anyway more than likely!!!!) as long as we have a unified, holistic,tenor, tone and direction to the club

I REALLY have to say FUCK THE FA if they raise the number of HG's to 10 or 12 or more for EPL teams. They say it is to make our England squad better, BUT all it is going to mean is more English kids buried on the benches of the top half teams, stagnating (like we are doing to CHO)

It my 2nd favourite league to watch (after the EPL of course) just based off the play. The fans are cray too, stadiums huge and often packed, and so many great derbies filled with hate. I think it is wonderful theatre oft-times. No wonder so many of our young Brits want to go there. Its fun and they play!

Poulsen, btw, for RB Leipzig, has been a monster this year

gotta laugh at people who say the Bundesliga is shit and super boring footie 4 games just kicked off, 3 already have goals

Damn, Tomori almost scored a crazy goal, but mishit

Ever since he came on Derby looks on fire.

First EVER FA Cup goal for Asley Even though he has won it SEVEN times

Ashley Cole GOOOOOOAAAALLLLL

He deffo can still cross miles beyond our fullbacks

so strange seeing Ashley Cole playing on English soil again and for Derby

Sky Sports savages £110k/wk Chelsea ace, says Sarri should not play him again this season https://thisisfutbol.com/2019/02/blogs/thompson-sarri-must-drop-jorginho-for-rest-of-season/

1000000% agree

I want Zidane, mainly because the ONLY way he comes is if there are massive upgrades to the squad.

Hejsan KC, welcome!!

I am not talking about CL finals, that is a strawman, I was positing that team versus our current squad. Seeing as you are bringing it up, and seeing as that team is so young, there is a more than decent chance, if most develop out to anywhere near their potential, that in a few years it could quite possibly go deep deep into the CL, if not win it outright. Especially with a few tweaks as the years went by. Like I said, bookmark it. I fully stand by my prediction in terms of sale prices when they happen. Pulisic just went for almost £60m. Prorated over the 25 man squad there is your £1.5bn right there. And Mbappe, when sold will go for at least £275m or so, probably £300m. Add in Felix and de Light and from just those 4 players, you are looking at around £550m plus, so already over a third of the way there, and still 21 players left to be sold. You wll only have to average £45m (basically what we are asking for CHO, who wouldn't even make that squad) per head to hit £1.5bn. Of the 21 left you are talking about Sancho Vinícius Júnior Gianluigi Donnarumma Trent Alexander-Arnold Ryan Sessegnon Houssem Aouar Luka Jovic those alone would/will sell for around £475 to £500m. take the lower number, 475m add it to the 550m above £1.025bn and still 14 players to sell you are now down to an average of only £34m per player needed try to buy Declan Rice for £34m. West Ham will laugh in your face. Same for Ibrahima Konaté from RB Leipzig (they want 100m euros for his CB partner Dayot Upamecano) Try to buy Achraf Hakimi from Real for that. LOLOL or (provided he progresses as I think he will), Nicolò Zaniolo at Roma Like I said, bookmark.

I very much care about what they are sold for, not just that they are off they team, we turned down bloody £110m in hard offers for those two prats last summer. CRIMINAL IMHO. I never said said just low-ball sell them or any other player (except Drinkwater as we are paying that donkey an insane £120K per week, so will have to eat a big chunk on either the transfer fee or pay part of his wages to get him moved out). You ave me confused with someone else. I am all about the quid.

As if our current back 4 could handle those wingers and CF's NOW, let alone as those teens and 20 year olds become prime age peak players (some already are, hello Mr Mbappe, Mr Cutrone, Mr Sancho, Mr Vinicius, Mr Aouar, Mr Sarr, Mr Jovic, Mr Alexander-Arnold, Mr Sessegnon, Mr Felix, (now, let alone 2, 3 years down the road, and I will even stop the age lock for our back 4) have fun with Alonso, Jorginho, a rapidly leggy Azpi, and Luiz) Same goes for that defence. Have you even seen many of them play?

Doubt me, bookmark and watch as they are sold. Market valuations that translate into real sale prices are not subjective, there is an easily quantifiable record to track.

If you look, I clarified that is was a historical list, including players who are now 20 or so, BUT got big minutes as teens at their clubs, it is from a November 1st post and WATCH all of those players most everyone is going to be at huge clubs or already are the real (actual price to buy) market value of just the 25 man roster I chiselled out is already NOW around £1.5 BILLION quid

I just put together a 25 man roster off those players (added another teen at LB so I had two) that blows our current squad away already at their current ages I would trade my squad I made for ours instantly, especially with Hazard leaving you vastly overrate the EPL IMHO in regards to the other Big 5 leagues, especially in terms of the cream of the crop top young players who are lurking out there look at our team now almost all are from leagues or teams you say are small time, some of ours are from truly shit leagues (Ukraine for example for Willian) we just truly rate talent differently I like my track record over the years have almost no true bombs (I fully admit on Bakayko, so frustrating) and have called many shit buys as such when they went down (Morata, Drinkwater, Bats, Zappacosta, Emerson (due to injury) Alonso as a FB, etc etc etc) and went cray on some of our sales (KDB, Salah, Felipe Luis, Tiago (wayyy back, after the superb 2004-5 season, he was one of my favourite player as a 12,13yo, I cried like a baby, lolol Mourinho still talks about what a cock-up it was selling him) now CHO, etc etc)

25 man roster off those players GK Gianluigi Donnarumma GK Alban Lafont CB Matthijs de Ligt CB Ibrahima Konaté CB Boubacar Kamara CB Malang Sarr CB Dan-Axel Zagadou LB Ryan Sessegnon LB Stanley N'Soki (added him as he has 8 starts for PSG, 6 of them League games, 8 and half times as many league minutes as CHO) RB Trent Alexander-Arnold RB Achraf Hakimi DMF Arne Maier DMF Declan Rice CMF Houssem Aouar CMF Amadou Haidara AMF João Félix AMF Nicolò Zaniolo LW Kylian Mbappé LW Vinícius Júnior LW Ismaïla Sarr RW Jadon Sancho RW Christian Pulisic CF Luka Jovic CF Patrick Cutrone CF Matheus Cunha Only players we currently have who make that team for sure Kepa Rudiger (maybe, and de Ligt is already far superior, and Rudiger might be soon be passed up in terms of quality by multiple others and off the team in a few years if we are talking about those CB's 3 years or so from now) Amapdu I would sneak in there over Malang Sarr, just on pure potential he has Kante (as a trad DMF) Hazard (and Mbappe would have to move to RW) Jorginho is not a lock at all IF the manager is not Sarri, as he is only good (and that is debatable) as a DH DMF (which is why Ancelotti tossed him) I would instantly trade our side for that one, especially with Hazard leaving the only massive loss would be Kante and sorta Kepa, by those 2 GKers are also pretty class that side is insanely better at winger, far better at CF, better at AMF already and both of those could be top 5 in world AMF someday, far better at fullback and far better at CB, Maier and Rice both have huge potential as trad DMF's as well (not saying Kante level, but still more than adequate)
