Vesper

true!!!!!! Simeone teams are often a shithousery parade

5 months would cost £150m just in wages (as taxes would come out, so we would have to double it up to pay him the same net) lololol

yep, £3.5m PW, lololol no taxes, so like £7m PW gross if in the EU a million quid per day gross equivalent 🤣

they let the cat out of the bag CR7 is coming to our house for a party as our birthday present to my asshole BIL in February

erm, did you see the way we were playing with the same manager and the same players since we won those? we have been crushed with injuries as well let's also drill down this was the CL Final-winning team: in BOLD BLACK are gone from the club (plus CHO, who is on loan) in Bold RED are players injured a tonne since in Bold BLUE are players who should stay (as should Reece and Chilwell) Of these the most contentious on here are only 2, Havertz and Mount, and both have been poor, under multiple managers at times in BOLD GREEN need to GO (Kante, listed in Bold Red already, IF he accepts OUR deal, then fine, he stays, as we will not get shit for him) Kepa perhaps as a backup, but I would rather sell him there is NO legit debate on the greens, they are all done with us as a way forward, poor players now, Jorginho is a fucking mess, the ONLY player on the planet (no bullshit) who made him acceptable was prime Kante and Wee Baldy is well spent as a day-to-day force GK 16 Édouard Mendy CB 28 César Azpilicueta (c) CB 6 Thiago Silva 39' CB 2 Antonio Rüdiger 57' RB 24 Reece James LB 21 Ben Chilwell CM 5 Jorginho CM 7 N'Golo Kanté AM 29 Kai Havertz AM 19 Mason Mount 80' CF 11 Timo Werner 66' Substitutes: GK 1 Kepa Arrizabalaga (back up only) GK 13 Willy Caballero DF 3 Marcos Alonso DF 4 Andreas Christensen 39' DF 15 Kurt Zouma DF 33 Emerson MF 10 Christian Pulisic 66' MF 17 Mateo Kovačić 80' MF 20 Callum Hudson-Odoi (Loan) MF 22 Hakim Ziyech MF 23 Billy Gilmour FW 18 Olivier Giroud who? certainly none of the ones in Green (the gotta goes) plus Kai has struggled under every manager here Mount has struggled now lately under Tuchel and under Potter the others in Blue, ie the stays (Thiago and Kova), plus Reece, Chilwell, and Kante are fine when fully healthy

will he accept being a backup on a team with no CL?

140 goals in less than 2 full season's worth of minutes as a 12yo to 15yo playing against 15yos (a few) and mostly 16, 17yos up to to 23yos this is his first run of games as a TWELVE YEAR OLD, playing against mostly 16, 17yos (a smaller amount of 15yos in the mix too) in 80 minute games (so almost a full games less worth of minutes basically over the ones where he played the full 80): 24 goals, 5 assists in 12 games (939 minutes played), as a 12 year old playing against mostly 4 to 5 year older players he turned 13 on Nov 20, 2017 also he is the youngest goalscorer in Bundesliga history (you can't play in it until you turn 16) he scored 3 goals in 4 and a half games worth of minutes then

I am NOT going to go negative on the Felix deal right out of the blocks let's see what the lad can do I do not get Auba vibes off this move

get this done ASAP!!!!

yep, everyone's a critic yet repeatedly I have asked numerous other posters who they would go for (and not just about Enzo either) in terms of players we are not linked with and/or are blowing off and................

again I never said we should pursue them but what I was saying is that I (at the beginning of the season) for sure would have taken (all things being equal) those players listed over the players I compared them too we had SHIT for CFs Auba?? Come on, Broja? Never have been sold and that was pre injury I already explained KK (and for SURE, due to the cash, Fofana) v Botman Bruno is a no brainer and I long ago fell off the Mendy bandwagon, he was a one season wonder Kepa was a crazy bad mistake, all because Marina stupidly thought that she could twist Cuntois' arm into renewing (this was during 2016/17 season, which should have been his last one with us), so instead of selling him THE YEAR BEFORE we ended up doing so to Real Madrid (they would have paid 80m-90m plus for him in summer 2017) and buying Alisson (that was when he was still only part time with Roma) or Oblak (whose release clause was then €20m less than it is now) in that 2017 summer window.

lol £79m to £88m for Randal Kolo Muani Eintracht is on crack https://www.hitc.com/en-gb/2023/01/10/liverpool-transfer-news-kolo-muani-director-88m-january/ Eintracht Frankfurt sporting director Markus Krosche confirmed that the club will not sell Liverpool-linked striker, Randal Kolo Muani, even if a £88 million (€100 million) offer comes through the door in January. In December, TEAMtalk had relayed a story about Jurgen Klopp’s side being ‘seduced’ by the prospect of signing Kolo Muani. However, Sky Germany had only recently reported that the French forward was feeling ‘comfortable’ at Frankfurt. https://www.footballfancast.com/Chelsea-transfer-rumours/Chelsea-transfer-randal-kolo-muani-eintracht-frankfurt-premier-league However, with the Frenchman having signed from Nantes on a free transfer last summer, the report continues to state that his German Bundesliga outfit would not grant a departure for anything less than €90m (£79m). The news came just days before the Blue verbally agreed to sign Joao Felix on loan from Atletico Madrid with the Portuguese potentially able to strike up an exciting partnership should Kolo Muani also walk through the door this month.

I said better than Azpi (at the present time, not prime Azpi), just to be clear. at the start of the season: Pope was a better GKer than Mendy or Kepa, not by miles, but still better IMHO Botman over KK (and I have said this long before KK came here, I took KK off my lists due to age and cost 2 years ago or so and did rep Botman for ages, to a point) Bruno Guimarães is better than any MFer we have at present (Kante is too injured), and as we have now very likely failed on Enzo, he is who I would at least TRY to pull for a Jorginho deep lying DMF (and like Enzo, Bruno can also offer a goal threat) Isak and Wilson are both better than any CF (at present, hopefully down the road DDF blows up) we have on the sr team finally......... that all said, I am NOT advocating to buy any of those, other than Bruno (Pope would make a great backup GKer if we had Oblak or a couple others)

he cannot move until July 1, 2023, as he has already played for 2 clubs (us and for 8 fucking minutes, Barca) this season, so we are stuck with him

Mauricio Pochettino 'would be willing to take the Chelsea job' should under-fire Graham Potter be axed by the Blues, despite the Argentine's links to rivals Tottenham https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-11621331/Mauricio-Pochettino-willing-Chelsea-job-fire-Graham-Potter-axed.html

he will someday destroy us in multiple games in the future I fear and we have now burnt the Benfica bridge, plus look dodgy with other clubs all over a disasterclass move by Boehly et al.

we cannot sell or even loan him until 2023/2024 fucking Barca played him 8 minutes in a game

you are being far too harsh on NUFC they are better than us at multiple positions: GK, one of the CB slots (for now, let's see what Badiashile does), RB when we have no Reece (Trippier is a better fullback than Azpi is now), DMF, AMF/RWer (depending on the formastion), and CF (they have two who are better than anything we have atm) (we do blow them away in depth though) their best starting players Nick Pope Sven Botman Dan Burn Matt Targett Kieran Trippier Bruno Guimarães (world class) Joelinton (reborn as a MFer) Miguel Almirón (on fire, tracking to 20 or so league goals) Allan Saint-Maximin Alexander Isak Callum Wilson

absolute, unmitigated bollocks Enzo is a rare transformative type of player who can systematically impact the entire warp and weft of a side he is easily worth £75 to £85m (few but the most dull of knives in the drawer would be up in arms at that price range) so NOW you are going to label the act of dropping £20 to £30m over that range in order to beat other massive clubs to him as insanity? We overspent £30m or so ON JUST CUCURELLA ffs We just shit away £95m on KK (salary + fee) just in transfer fees since 2015, we have shit away around £750m, and that could rise to 1 BILLION QUID if the Boehly buys who still can go either way go into the bin/bust category: yet you are going bonkers over 20 or 30 million pounds extra spend (if it even is, but I am being generous) in regards to Enzo??? (who also would have been paid a wage FAR below what Bellingham or Rice will command, btw) this TC board just kills me sometimes LOLOLOL
