    I’ve watched two Spurs games this season, so not much at all familiar with their new style, but from what I’ve seen, the way this guy has them set up I would copy and paste that system with our players like for like.

    It flows well and makes a lot more sense than what Carlo is trying to do, in my humble opinion.

    I'm still of the opinion that Bayern sacking Nagelsmann for Tuchel was unfair and unnecessary. I don't really think they upgraded and the timing couldn't have been worse.

    But I'm not sure what to think of this move for Nagelsmann. The national program seems like a dumpster fire at the moment, but I'm not sure he had better options on the horizon in the club game.

    Philipp Klöster is a weird man. Kind of disappointed. What a weird interview.

    Yes, the players signing to Saudi clubs and full on sellouts, but they aren't the first nor the last in the history of the sport.

    Rough calculation: PSG spent some €100-120mn on transfers this summer (net) but I bet their payroll is down this season with Messi and Neymar off of it, so overall probably same ballpark spending-wise as last season. And, no, their squad is not worse.

    La real dominated the game too but missed so many chances to put Inter away. They will regret losing the points here. Kubo is having a special season so far. Hope he stays healthy, he was the best player on the pitch with Bryce Mendes second. If you're making a decision on which game to watch on any weekend La Real should be a consideration.

    Bayern's Tel could be the genuine article. He is playing with so much confidence right now. Just won't be denied. Let's see how his season progresses, he will eventually get some starts when Kane is rested and that will be a great test for him. He plays like Haaland used to play back in his BVB days. Every touch is with confidence and purpose, like he knows he'll score. The touch he had during his goal (control on his thigh) that was supreme.

    He should definitely be in the conversation for Carlo's successor.

    We cannot, under any circumstances, pass this guy up next summer. He's the one.

    Agreed. Unfortunately, some people are dead-set on bringing back Zizou - whom I respect greatly. But I think it's time to try someone young, tactically competent, and flexible like Xabi.

    I'm the first one onboard the Xabi-hype train.

    Maybe he can bring Frimpong with him? :D

    Their squad is shite, sorry. Aside from Mbappe and Hakimi, they’ve got players that a team like Newcastle would go for.

    Average.

    I agree overall but at the same time I hate every team bar Madrid by default and even more the teams that gave us pain ala Depor, Violencia, Juve, Bayern, and etc.

    No matter what I’ll always enjoy their loses and misery even if it’s mostly due to the poor state of those teams (in Depor, Violencia, and etc case).

    That’s just me and my hating ass though.

    Wait, what? So he is living on his own? Yeah, that’s not going to last.

    I have thought he looks a bit out of place, now with this news it shouldn’t be a surprise. Agree that he won’t be at Bayern long.

    To be honest, if Bayern get their money back for him in 1 or 2 years it was a smashing deal from them. :ROFLMAO:

    I'd be surprised if Bayern let Harry have a buyback clause. I can see them accepting a first refusal clause maybe.

    He had a child who was born in August and has other young children. Probably just waiting for the young one to settle before moving his family.

    I wouldn't want to move to Munich right now if I'm honest, property and rent prices are in the highest tier in Europe, moving kids family and having them settled in new schools and new areas, and before they even got used to it you're gone in 2-3 years.

    I'd understand it if he'd be young, but at this point of his life, it's pointless.

    Jude is in a great moment and I know he's going to be a big player for us for many years to come but let's be honest, we shouldn't be surprised if he has a drought soon and some of the fans turn on him.

    They definitely wont get the money back. I can't imagine Levy put a clause in there to pay the same 105ME total or whatever it was.

    If Bayern don't win the CL and Kane heads back to Tottenham in 2 years then the transfer has massively failed and they've taken a loss lol
