It was written on the wall once he didn't negotiate a way out a year before. And especially when he started speaking about "respect" for PSG etc....
Besides, getting a 30-year-old perennial talent in the hope that he would suddenly become worldbeater... I'd pass.
When adjusted for inflation, Veron's deal to Man Utd would cost 155 million pounds, Rio Ferdinand's 132 million... These are not unprecedented...
Klopp is such a sore loser. Take a look at this: "We had a lot of shots but not the clearest. Courtois made two top saves. We conceded a goal...
Yeah, it wasn't a counterattack goal nor a fluke rebound after a corner. It was a goal that came from deep possession and consisted of quality...
The best win ever, unbelievable.
I don't understand those players who are satisfied with playing 10 meaningful games per season.
His repeated comments about how it was his dream to play for Madrid was what made it fishy for me. It's one thing if a player like Mateo Kovacic...
This was always bound to happen, unfortunately. First, the fact that he didn't really force his way out last summer. He always talked about...
The difference is that as an heir to the family business you have something to learn and get from your parents - and mind you, these are still not...
Yeah, well, he's an employee of a football club, not an heir to the family-run hostel. How exactly could his parents contribute other than adding...
A man, I believe, should aspire to become independent in business matters and to separate as much as possible private aspects of his life from...
Again, a grown-up man with millions in his pocket has his parents as his "entourage", communicating left and right and poking their noses like...
He isn't a great player. Here and there he played a great match. On a regular basis he was a tactical wreak and with a lack of discipline and...
Kroos is a fundamental part of a hyper-successful midfield trio, while Pogba is a passenger for at least half a decade. Even at Juventus, he could...
Yeah, he "complimented" them on their gameplan by pointing out that it works for them, but they are still fifth in the table.
What's disconcerting a bit is the whole family influence over Kylian Mbappe. When he transferred from Monaco to PSG instead of Madrid, it was...
I don't think 3-5-2 works for us. We would need to sign at least two quality CBs and two quality WBs. Also, WBs in 3-5-2 should be more like...
They have an away game against Leeds on the weekend, who haven't lost in 5 games, so they have limited options to rest, while we can play the...
Man, this City team is a very good team, but which of their players would walk into our team? Cancelo? De Bruyne? Who else? I have a feeling that...
Frankly, Barcelona were asking for a result like this for some time now. Their last game, against Levante, should have ended like this one. It's...
I agree, to claim that the tie was resolved with their mistakes is kinda insulting given the quality of three Benzema's headers (especially the...
Some impressions from yesterday. We actually started rather well, but the goal made us unsure and nervous. Hindsight is 20/20, but perhaps...
It's true that the whole approach was bad, but it is always a bad sign when a coach feels the need to devise a completely new system specifically...
It comes down to Ancelotti's overthinking. He saw a resurgent Barcelona and the loss of Benzema compounded his fears. He devised a solution that...
