Essential The Official Football (Soccer) Thread - The Slotification of Liverpool is nearly complete

[I.AM.PIFF]

Group A B and I the toughest.

Looking forward to these games - will be good for overall development of the federation.

It's hard to make predictions now since the qualification won't end till late 2025 but I have all pot 1 teams making it except for maybe Egypt (Burkina is tuff) and Mali (Ghana is a hard draw and they might bounce back).

Tunisia once again gets the easiest draw, suspicious

I predict Guinea to qualify from Group G

I was about to question where Hazard but the dude is a Chelsea supporter.

It's crazy lol. Hazard to Madrid is unquestionably the worst transfer ever. 100m € transfer, 500k € / week wage, 7 goals and 80 apps in 4 years, I could divide

I mean they could but I could also add South Africa in group C

 

[Ukbrotha]

They definitely will, as he just signed an extension recently.

Next summer is the summer of Ferguson.

What do you want for the striker position this summer? I cant do another season of Martial.

 

[Givethanks]

What do y'all think?

A Chelsea fan is really not gonna say Hazard to Madrid, or Torres to Chelsea lol. Di María to United was pretty bad too.

There's still little whispers of how Kane would prefer us over Bayern but I just can't envisage a world in which Levy would do any sort of (reasonable)business with us.

De Laurentiis is apparently saying he wants £150m for Osimhen, so I don't think he's going anywhere this summer.

I've accepted that the big hitters are off the table, so I'd be happy with Hojlund. My only concern with him is how he'd handle the pressure of being our only striker signing. He has bags of potential though.

Glad my Crew passed on all of them.

Yeah, I dont think Kane will happen but I think its an indictment on him because he should be forcing a move out of Spurs or atleast walking out of the club for free next summer. If he signs a new deal I will lose all respect for him.
Osimhen is not happening. I've only seen youtube highlights of Hojlund and yes I see some potential but the price Atalanta are quoting seems absurd. Anything over the £50m -£60m mark is crazy imo and will probably not help him interms of the pressure and his own development. I'm not sure he's ready to be our main striker.

Hard to know with Hojlund, the English journos are saying the higher prices but Fabrizio(as much as i dislike most of his content) is being pretty adamant that the deal could be done for a fair bit lower, around the 50-60 mark, iirc.

I'm at a point now where I think we need to take chances on these players and just throw them in rather than miss out and be linked for 100+ mil down the line.

and to bayern

yeah the living standard is higher, the weather better but germany ...

away from the bright lights of international media:

"The supportive words are in stark contrast with the actions of Ngankam's club and coach in 2019 after Ngankam, then playing for Hertha's under-23 team, was subjected to monkey chants by fans from the opposing team.
The club took days to make a statement, while Hertha's under-23 trainer, Andreas Neuendorf, seemed to make light of the incident.
"Some say idiot, some say donkey, some say monkey," Neuendorf said after the game. "Perhaps it wasn't intended to be racist.""

Football: Abuse of Black German players shows endemic racism – DW – 06/26/2023

Racially abusive posts towards two members of Germany's under-21 soccer team are the latest in a long line of racist insults that have marred German professional football.
