    **Official** English Football Season 2024/25

    They have been saying that for ages and it hasn't eventuated... One thing for sure is that Pep is changing systems again. He alluded to moving to two wingers in recent interviews and makes sense given Savio is coming in. Doku, Savio and Eze in rotation on the wings with Haaland up top would be...

    **Official** English Football Season 2024/25

    I cant figure out if August is going to be crazy busy with transfers or if the market is just having a quiet off-season. Seems the international tournaments have definitely impacted transfer plans so far but also FFP must be restricting some of the activity too. Only a handful of clubs are...

    **Official** English Football Season 2024/25

    Having lived in Argentina, I can assure you it is a cultural thing. Doesn't make it excusable at all... but it does explain why so many teammates/coaches sat around watching it rather than telling them to stop.

    Almost no chance they sell him. The only league capable of matching his £180k/w wages would be Saudi (and pretty unlikely he accepts a move there at his age). If Chelsea want him gone they'll have to pay his wages to another club. Short odds would be a side like Juventus, Serie A has a pretty...

    **Official** English Football Season 2024/25

    I haven't seen the video (nor do I really want to) but from what I've read/heard there were a few players involved. Something like this usually goes far deeper and is clearly cultural. Is there a particular reason he's getting the attention? Totally get that Fofana has rightfully drawn...

    Balotteli and Markovic played that game... Brendan's dark days. Oh and no, he didn't

    As soon as Southgate figures out what a regista is... Though from likes above it seems he's not the only one still figuring it out.

    **Official** English Football Season 2023/24

    Will get his move next summer, probably a smart play from both player and his club - they'll get more for him next season and another year at Leipzig will be great for his development. Too many young strikers moving for big money too soon at the moment. Would be interesting to know if he simply...

    **Official** English Football Season 2023/24

    I know you didn't but it was confusing when you compared him to Rodri and spoke about brute force at the same time That season I was referring to in 13/14 at Bayern he wasn't at the base of a midfield 3 anyway. When he was playing deeper it was usually in a two with Schweinsteiger or Martinez...

    Bit of a misconception that Kroos is a destroyer or a brute. Camavinga is that guy in the current Madrid squad. Kroos hasn't been that in a long time, although at his best that was his game. 2013-'15 Kroos when he had the engine and speed to get around the pitch was one of the best midfielders...

    I doubt this is much of an issue, if at all. Valverde and Camavinga are beasts and the experience/leadership can be covered by other players anyway.

    And to think he was nearly let go a few seasons ago. Fair play to the guy he's put up with some serious nonsense (from both Madrid and rival fans) to get to where he is now and deserves all the accolades he gets.

    If only Dortmund could finish. They were the better team for 60min but always felt like Madrid were going to win once those chances were missed. As much as I despise Madrid being an LFC fan, it's hard not to admire how well that club is run and their current players are so likeable. Fitting...

    He'd be spewing he's not already a City player. Their lawyers would have found a way around this for sure

    Agree with Rodri in principle there and all things we've touched on already in here. .... another key difference he fails to point out however are the 115 charges that could taint the entire achievement :p

    **Official** English Football Season 2023/24

    Agree, but Poch needs to be brave and stick with Cucurella at LB. This is exactly what Pep wanted him for. It's also quite clear the inverting thing is really helping Caicedo and the defence. I'm not sure what that means for Enzo as he's not really suited to the role Galla is playing right now...

    Refs should be mic'd up for the crowd to hear the conversations, like they do in Rugby. At least their incompetency will be transparent. Then automate the offsides so there can be no human error in where lines are drawn. Always going to be subjective decisions but I think the above will solve...

    I thought it was a mistake because they were genuinely the best side in the league at that point and on a decent winning streak. I think they've been considerably better than City for most of the season (GD up until recently reflected that). Showing up with all the momentum they had and playing...

    Then there are the fans who chant about tragedies. Now that is pathetic.

    Alex Carey thought the same thing and on that occasion I totally agreed! :p
