City have spent god knows how many millions under Guardiola and they have yet to reach a single Champions League semi final, never mind a final. Fraud.

The scenes if it's an all French final Need a live camera inside the UEFA HQ for that...

Also gone 5 months without competitive football and they have knocked Juventus and Man City out of the Champions League. Also just lost on penalties to PSG in the French Cup final.

2 Bundesliga and 2 Ligue 1 teams in the semi finals.

Our prayer goes to you German folks on here.

Have we gone back to 2012? Asking for a friend.

Wait, so Chilwell is better than Reguilon? The first thing that caught my attention was that Aerial Wins stat. I know the Premier League and La Liga are two different leagues but one would think that is small key factor for Lampard given our set piece problems.

Can't wait for managers to complain about having to waste subs on injury subs because of the jam-packed schedule...

Yes but the point here is about pace and technique. Costa doesn't have those but nobody bothered about that, certainly the latter, because he was scoring the goals. Costa found other ways to let his qualities shine.

Yet to see Matt Law, The Athletic etc even mention this...

You keep making it sound like Werner has the worst technique around when it's not even close. As Stats mentioned above, his technique is underrated. But for argument sake, let's just say his technique isn't very good but why then he can't improve on it? Those players you mentioned weren't exactly born technically gifted. They got better and improved over time. It's also easy to forget that Werner is still only 24 years old and has been improving year in, year out. There's no reason why he can't turn his weaknesses to strengths or make those weaknesses become irrelevant altogether as long as he stays on that trajectory. And another point, we had someone like Costa who was technically average but no one seemed to mind that because he was banging in the goals.

I don't know why people keep on talking like pacey players struggle in the Premier League because there is not much space to use their pace and all that. The likes of Man City, Liverpool all have pacey players but that never stops them from being effective in the league, do they?

Simon Phillips doesn't have his own source? There's nothing legit about this at the moment. Two random Leicester fans mentioned the story and The Times aren't a reliable source, IMO.

How is that a disdainful reply? Why take it so seriously? I certainly wouldn't want either of them here. Bale is pretty much a past-it player already at 31 years old, especially for someone that has relied heavily on his physical attributes including his pace, and I'd question his motivation as well, whether he still has the hunger and desire because even though he has been frozen out, he is content to just stay at Madrid and...play golf. Moreover, you talked about injuries above and yet you suggested Bale, who doesn't have the greatest of injury record at Madrid and has missed like half of their games since joining them. Coutinho makes the more sense out of the two but again, I wouldn't take him. Inconsistent and nothing more than a shoot-from-range merchant. I understand the concerns above but we're already stacked in the attacking areas. Adding another one would just be overkill. Plus, what if Werner, Ziyech etc adapt quickly? We would then have a deadweight in Coutinho sitting on the bench. Even if we pay only 30% of Coutinho's wages - which would still be a lot and I'd rather use that money for other purposes - I'd rather stick to our players and give them the playing time to adapt than have a loanee take up their time and space.

Whenever people think or say we have the worst board in the world, just point at Barcelona.

The average age of the Barcelona players tonight were 30.

NO! JUST FUCKING NO! This is like when people used to say Torres would score many goals when Mata, Oscar, Hazard etc were around. JUST FUCKING SELL THIS DEADWOOD ALREADY!

Coutinho playing against Barcelona. Hansi Flick is a troll.

Can we go throw 200 million at Bayern for Davies!?
