Magic Lamps

Bayern fans and executives were furious after they lost 6 pre-season games. For Bayern there is a lot on the line. They only win the BuLi every year because the other shit teams do not even turn up for the match and let them win easily. But if they lose this fear factor they will not be able to retain their golden pineapple that easily anymore.

The FA said it is the other way round.

Yes and yes Have to disagree. This Inter side is average but it is not as bad as the one Mourinho left behind and then fell apart. They were horrendous for years afterwards. This is Inter side is actually the best since then. No he is not but few players are. This is because there are not many outstanding players able to perform in this position in a world class level as they used to be wingers or fullbacks with 3 at the back being a relatively new formation. Not even Danilo, Walker or Ox are massive upgrades over Moses when all are performing at their best. However the wingback position requires an awful lot of running which is the reason that even in a one game per week season, MOses got tired towards the end. Hence, Conte wants to have depth and competition in the wingbackposition. And for this Candreva is perfect.

I really feel bad for him but it is also pretty funny that he comes on scores immediately and then injures himself in the process. His entire career in a nutshell.

Tbf Bayerns 5th cm Rudy is the exact same player as Drinkwater and Liverpools bench of nobodies wiped the floor with their 150m bench.

Bayern completely outclassed by a Liverpool b team. They are so out of the rhythm. We were the only team not to beat them into their entire preseason.

No idea. good signing and he will score goals. Also got a thunderous who from distance and has a decent bit of pace. Now the same for the left and cm and I will be happy.

Not the worst stop gap signing. Most Italians i know love him

This praised messiah is producing a turnovers galore vs liverpool. At fault for a goal inside the first 6 mins.

40m for Drinkie would be madness. 10m and homegrown wouldnt do much harm but he does not really fit our style of play.

We will see. I think it can go in both directions. Jose's short-termism moving Utd up places or his overrated and/or overpriced beanpoles (Pogba, Lukaku, Matic, Fellaini among others) imploding under the pressure. Jose is not known to get the best out of young players but rather squeeze the best out of finished products. He doesn't have many of those at Utd. They still have not enough players to unlock packed defenses, one could say even less without Ibrahimovic. I wish them all the worst.

Remeber we started last season with 3 more senior players (20) than this one and we feared the squad was thin back then. If Hazard, Pedro, Bakayoko and Moses 4 nailed-on starters weren't injured/suspended or if we would actually be able to make those 4 signings we badly need this would not be a problem for the opening weeks. But those are two big IFs and I am not sure we will be able to do anything over those. I see English clubs are having a hard time on the transfer market but shipping out as many players as possible before we even make any meaningful signings, reducing the squad to a mere skeleton is what we have done for years now and in the absence of luck like in the last two title seasons it has cost us dearly.

I am not sure, if the Ox is really faster and stronger than Moses. At full speed, Moses reaches 35km/h which makes him one of the faster players in the Prem. And strength-wise they look about similar. But certainly the Ox is way better with the ball (albeit equally ineffective in front of goal). To sum up, he would be an upgrade but not much of an upgrade. That being sad, Arsene hates and fears us too much to sell any player to us. The only way this goes through is if AOC forces the move which he will not do.

Its more like 20+ players out on loan and it is gonna be 30 before the window closes. Sparatk seems like a step down for Pasalic after having had reasonably successfull at some of Europe's better clubs. Also I always ahd him down as superior to Lewis Baker, who is also 22 and non-homegrown IIRC.

No one deemed him an accomplished player already. But you can tell from these highlights that he is definitely talented, which is all w recognized here. I'd rather give him a chance than force Morata on the wing or bullshit like that.

My faint hope is that Conte has tried Morata on the wing of a 3-4-3 to confound Arsenal and start him as pure striker in a new formation like 3-5-2 or 4-2-4 this weekend. I really want him to score to get the monkey of his back.

40m for a player who has declined so much he is only average at best and this only a few games per year so yeah, this is really decent business. I don't mind having him at Utd where Mourinho is once again assembling squad of twiggy beanpoles.

For sure, But a club this big should never change to accomodate a playeer like Moses. Moses would play more as a winger but he is incredibly toothless in front of goal. His most important attributes are his pace and his stamina. Wingback is actually the only position he is decent enough to play despite his obvious limitations.

LOL, in the first 3 plays of this video, he creates 3 100% goalscoring chances any half-decent striker should convert in his sleep. Why do we loan out so talented palyers to so incredibly shitty sides?

Look, this is what I have always hated about us buying players like Marin, Djilobodji, Sidwell, Boularhouz etc. They might be proven at mid-table level but they are no better than the Bakers or Pasalics of this world. I don't mind us improving depth. But if we want to spend money, there should be some upgrade at least in the 4th/5th cm position. Otherwise it is just money down the drain. I understand that Drinkwater is only our 3rd or 4th choice for CM backup but why dafuq do we sell Matic and Cahlobah, only having 2 fit senior CMs adn then 1 week before the season think about reinforcements for depth? Are we unable to handle multiple transfers at the same time?

Conte has warned us of a repeat of the 2015/16 season. Ironically that one kicked off at this exact fixture. I pray that history will not repeat itself. But if so no one can say the writing has not been on the wall for moths.

U can not win against the ref.

Another bullshit offside decision

What a goal
