So why didn’t Sevilla concede five goals every game in past years? Or did Koundè got eaten alive weakly base? How we won CL with Azpi playing CB under 1.8 M? This is not weightlifting, this is football.. Height and weight can be compensated with other skills.

I mean.. Previously, our academy graduates were seldom signed by PL clubs, usually Champo.. I wonder if they’ll be i volved in first team football. Hope we can keep Livramento though.

How come suddenly our academy boys are all signing for PL-clubs first teams? What did I miss?

Loan or permanent?

Zappacosta? 😱 Bakayoko? 😱😱 Sarr? 😱😱😱 Bayern tried to fill their gaps with such mediocre players(Sarr, Rocha, Chupo-Moting,), didn’t take them anywhere.. Gallagher seems good but I feel he is not fit for deep rule for Jorgi/Kante role but not sure he can do wide AM either.

Barcelona terminated conrtact of Brasilian midfielder Matheus Fernandes today, whom they bought for 7 million Euros and played only 17 minutes for the club. Contract was originally valid till 2025.. Quite strange, but even stranger official communication: FC Barcelona has informed Brazilian player Matheus Fernandes that the club no longer requires his services and is terminating the contract he had until June 2025. No longer require their services :D

I am in team Isak.. That’s guy’s got class, moves like a panther. Would really love him here.

Kovacic part I don’t agree with, but indeed Sanches is starting to fulfill his potential, playing great for Lille and Portugal, so much energy..

He played at Vitesse with our loan army, was great, also at the beginning at Werder Bremen. Might be a good substitute for Buendia.

Almost lasted 10 years at club, crazy! Good luck to him, no more injuries.

I didn’t mean to use agressive and ‘going forward brainless’ pejorative, perhaps used wrong expression. He was great player, no doubts about it. Let me rephrase: When playing together at Milan, everyone considered Pirlo as genius and someone who sees everything on the pitch, Gattuso was the one who kicked asses and worked like there’s no tomorrow. Thus, when Pirlo was appointed manager, people were expecting Juventus will play eye candy football, and when Gattuso joined Napoli many fans were laughing. If you watched Napoli last couple of month, they were playing smart, beautiful, sometimes innovative style, while Juve just passing made Cuadrado and Chiesa run up and down to serve Ronaldo. So they show opposite charachterictics as player and managing style. This Fiorentina thing I don’t want to judge, I don’t know how it works in real life. I assume when a club is negotiating with manager candidate, his role in transfers or transfer strategy is discussed. But is it written down in contract? Or gentemen’s agreement? He didn’t achieve the results what Sarri or Ancelotti did. But I think Napoli squad is weaker now. Still, they should be top 4, fair play, but what is strange that he was sacked not after the shity half year but after the great second half. Anyways, whoever will be Spurs’ coach, we’ll keep them far behind or back, so doesn’t matter!

Most people remember Gattusa as agressive and brainless going forward midfielder, but as manager his style is very different. He tried and succeeded many idea of his at Napoli. They started poorly this season but he made his changes and they only were defeated once since February - Juventus away. I think he is better choice than Fonseca, he seemed much clueless at Roma.

Arsenal, Liverpool, Spurs and City in the first six round, nice!

Emerson OK, but Christensen? Really? I hope we won’t waste him.. Not even for Hakimi:

Shit.. we just won Champions League few days ago and now topic is Danny Inga to Chelsea..

Don’t think Lukaku would sign for Conference League team. He was already here when we won PL but didn’t play, at Everton, MU and Inter hardly played in CL. Don’t think if he got offer from both Chelsea and Spuds he would chose the latter for Conte.

Great player but not what we need. Skillful, quick attackers we have many, but big, strong, good header option not. Thus Haaland or Big Rom would be a better fit.

“Deserve no credit at all” would also be incorrect if he wasn’t a legend. I agree Tuchel probed to be a different level, but still. Lampard introduced James, Mount, and CHOto first team and put 50-60 matches into their legs. These guys played vital part in this succesful season and might be biggest stars for next years. Lampard also did the same with Tammy and Tomori. They might be sold this summer, but their performances under SF made their future clubs pay big money for them, which is also important for the club to continue building. He made the foundation of the team, Tuchel finished the job with his big top football experience.

Joined up France NT in style

Good player, sad he is going, but also made some big mistakes at his spell, I wouldn’t trade him for Zouma, Christensen or Rüdiger. Thiago will be stick around, Azpi only turning 32 this year.. And we have some other young options on loan, especially Ampadu. So I think we can deal with this loss, especially with not bad money coming in.

Afraid if Rodri/Fernandinho or Agüero will make difference.. Fuck.. want to be one hour older

KING KAI!

Feel like I’m getting old.. I don’t understand what the hell is going on now called prematch show.. Like, really cannot understand what is this.. Whatever, if we win I can move on!! Have fun guys!

Wow.. Haven’t seen him in a while, got Santa-ish. Hope he will be happy Santa tonight, he deserves it!

Injury / Red card.
