Bad buy. Ffs, we could have had him for free if they rate him so highly I do not Stupid move Fuck off if we do this

Agree. It is ridiculous to say Citeh had an easy path.

thy are super rare in terms of truly WC only 2 are under 30yo and absolutely WC IMHO atm Gvardiol and Bastoni then Alaba at 30yo (31 in 2 weeks) and that's it IMHO for truly WC Badi is already the 9th highest valued left footed CB on the planet, lolol Gabriel of Arse, ffs, is tied for 3rd highest valued on planet, come on! None of us would pay £50m for him (at least I hope the fuck not)

and its WAY worse for SS's over 30 here is every one of them on the planet valued at 1 million euros or more only 2 valued over 3 million euros

many wingers do not peak in their late 20s, not many at least, most are early to mid late 20s 22/23 to 27/28 or so Salah will never have another year like he did at 25 years old he has been great the last 3 season after 2 slightly less years in between, but I wager thus last season (or the coming up one) if he says at Pool, will be his last 30 goal year whilst playing in the EPL (he could go to a lesser league and score 30 all comps even at 32 yo (2024/25 season) though Mbappe is not normal though, so who knows, but I wager a 29, 30 year old Mbappe will likely not have the otherworldly explosive pace all game long like he does now certainly he will not by 31, 32 but he is good enough to adapt his game and again Salah and Mbappe are two of the best wingers in the last 20 years of football, Mbappe is likely an all-time top 10 player if he stays healthy here are the top 20 valued wingers on the planet over 30yo its brutal in terms of fall-off Neymar Sadio Mané Lionel Messi (36yo in 2 weeks) Riyad Mahrez Pablo Sarabia Lorenzo Insigne Eden Hazard Quincy Promes Dudu Erik Lamela Ángel Di María (36yo in February) Viktor Claesson Dusan Tadic (35yo in November) Junior Messias Moussa Marega Aleksandar Katai Rachid Ghezzal Antonio Puertas Portu Davidson

I am not sold as of yet on Castello Lukeba and we do not need another left footed CB IMHO we have 2 already in Badi and Colwill plus I still hold out the faintest of hopes for Gvardiol next year IF he isn't sold this summer lefty CBs I rate (no Kimpembe as he has a ruptured achilles and after this summer he only has one sub 30yo season left, Lucas Hernández, and no Lucas Hernández he is only 6 moth's younger, and is likely (ironically) going to PSG this summer) Josko Gvardiol Alessandro Bastoni (not leaving Inter) Sven Botman Evan Ndicka (he is leaving on a free) Piero Hincapié Gonçalo Inácio' Micky van de Ven

send him to Villa and he gets FAR less time on the pitch plus us loaning Casadei to them aids in pulling Caicedo, they have European footie, so lots of minutes and a less congested MF roster I can't be arsed over our stupid mistake of hiring the poundland wizard from them, that was on us, not Brighton same for CuCu, WE were the fools there

£70m and buh bye

Bad decision to let him go and sacrifice his playing time for the likes of Lukaku. fixed

only thing I am really irate about is that fuckeroo donkeykaku missing that header and this blowing out all chances of Inter buying him (more than likely) fat fucking shitgibbon

Pep is the first 2 time Euro Treble winning manager ever

Brighton needs MFers far more than Villa

many errant passes, plus he almost cost a goal with that overhit pass he looked nervous with the ball at his feet a lot

he was poor with his distribution and looked awkward on the ball

CMFs / DMFs still available (some barely) I am not listing Federico Valverde (pipe dream and not really remotely available) Declan Rice (so expensive, and we have no CL to offer) Nicolò Barella (probably a pipe dream) Frenkie de Jong (probably a pipe dream) Moisés Caicedo Martín Zubimendi Khéphren Thuram Gabri Veiga Manu Koné Carlos Soler Roméo Lavia Maxence Caqueret Sofyan Amrabat

681 combined top flight goals for club and country 209 combined topflight assists 890 total topflight goals produced madness that they are now (Auba) or most of the time (Rom) so utterly shit

it was insanity what we did when we bought him for damn near 200m counting salary and add-ons

yes, that is why I think they deffo go for Mbappe if Vini wants to leave due to the racism (I cannot overstate it, he is the most racially attacked footballer in Europe, no one else is close, it is a psychotic level of shitbaggery from the La Liga rival fans, they physically attack him and verbal assault him in real life and on the internet to a monstrous level)

Liverpool easily won that year, by 18 points all teams were shit except for Pool, Manure pipped us on GD for 3rd and they did not even win half their games

and they will , I assume. make moves for both fullbacks slots insane if they do not, that is their clear weakness (on the offensive end), as we saw tonight Ake and Akanji offer basically fuckall offensively, which when De Bruyne cannot go, is a real issue Walker is not the answer, at least not for Pep, he publicly ripped him, and he turns 34 at the end of next season, and zero chance they keep Cancelo after the bust up and loan. plus Mendy is so gone for legal reasons (and is pretty shit anyway)

fucking Lukaku what a clown

Håland COMPLETELY collapsed down the stretch (1 goal in Citeh's last 9 games, no goals in their any of their FA Cup games since mid March, no goals in their last 3 CL games, 1 goal in their last 5 EPL games) and they still won the treble

Lukaku is the ultimate fail in big games with easy shots he is a DISASTER overall for us Inter will never want him as his miss will be THE memory of the whole game

so disappointing he was the one player for Inter who looked nervy Rom just reverted to form, missing easy shots Inter's defence was brilliant overall their only real fuckup in terms of in the box defending was on Citeh's goal the two defenders stood in a line instead of one to the right a bit and the other to left if they had staggered, Rodri's shot would have been blocked

ALL the attacking players on both sides were utter shit one of the worst CL finals ever to watch
