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

mm that's interesting and funny because the only english team that has a realistic chance of winning in Europe is city and they have possession based midfield lol...If the situation dont change in a month or so, Perez wont hesitate to pull the trigger on carlos..

I think the defeats to Citeh and Chelsea in b2b years in the CL had a helping hand in what their transfer profile was going to be. It's more about not being able to physically compete with those teams. They dont want to be bullied. Considering how Real view their academy to develop footballers to play multiple styles it makes sense.

They want Rodri for next season. Which will fix a lot of the current issues.

. As long as pep is at city I don't see it happening but yet again most players don't say no to Madrid..

Well I can't say their transfer policy hasn't worked that's for sure

With Citeh they have a busy 12 months. The 115 Hearing and then the decision punishments fallout appeals from that . Pep's future. And how long will Citeh give him to make a decision? as they will have to recruit/sound out someone even if it doesnt come to anything. But will Pep wait till the hearing is concluded? However long that takes (isn't it like a decision by Jan/Feb next year?) Does that work for Citeh to only give them a few months to get their replacement? If he does decide to leave.

Rodri a Madrid Boy might want to go home. Apart from Bernardo they dont really refuse players to leave. The players ask they let them go as long as the price is met.

Those players profiles are by design. Mainly to compete with the PL teams but also saw the direction football was going. I remember Balague was talking about it on La Liga TV about 12-18months ago.

Yea, city have shown that they dont hold their players hostage like that , but Rodri isn't exactly replaceable. Halaand seems that he might like to play for madrid, but unless sir bobby i mean endrick flops that aint happening

The 115 thing is taking so long that by the time they decide , pep will be coaching Spain or Brazil by then so that is the least of their concerns. as a pool fan i will love for them to leave but realistically from what pep has said he's inclined to stay unless something catastrophic happens like the 115 thing gets resolved quicker than anticipated.

Some Man Utd fans actually believed what Ten Hag said about wanting to keep Sancho.

Low key this team is really built like Dunga's Brasil. They really don't have an out and out creator. Is the Guler supposed to be that guy?(just started watching non Arsenal for the 1st time in years. So mad ignorant on everything)

Madrid should get go Vitinha

Going to Saudi in the middle of your prime is crazy.

It's a sign that the disparity between salaries for players at top 6 clubs and everywhere else is a problem.

Not saying he’ll struggle but it’s far from guaranteed he’ll be the player they expect. Club football is so variable. He’s not a striker and it seems that’s where he’ll play most

I said this a few months ago during the Euros about Mbappe. I don’t think any of this is surprising if you paid attention. Mbappe needs a clear role. He’s not good enough imo to play this hybrid role like he’s Henry or young Ronaldo. If you’re asking him to be a talisman who creates for other as well as finishes things…you’re asking for trouble. Either ask him to run behind or finish moves in and around the 18. That’s where he’s most dangerous.

Guler probably gets there but at the moment he's only doing a kind of similar role for Turkey. Until he gets a run of games for Real doing that role who knows if he is that guy.

What's in Guler's favour is that he wants to play on the right while everyone else wants to play on the left. he balances the team out more. Which gives Carlo more options than Rodrygo does playing on the right. Which is totally unfair on Rodrygo because he hasn't done anything wrong and deserves to start.
