Argentine NT: News, Stats & Players [R]

If those are the offers he's getting why didn't he just stay at Villa. Sheesh

 

Where did you hear the rumors about Paz? Como can't afford to take a 30 million offer, and Leverkusen looks like a perfect fit!

 

It will be another loan. And do you know who owns Como? The majority owners are two brothers who have a combined net worth of 48 billion, billion with a B. Yeah, they can afford if they like. But nevertheless, he could stay for another year. Leverkusen would also be a solid option but I think he needs to go somewhere that he can play every single match and that would be back at Como.

 

MU will make him looks like clown. Although he always seems to perform at top level for NT regardless his club form .

 

I do think his overall contribution is a bit too similar to Messi. Penetrating pass, accurate long shots and FK.

Which is why I suggested Messi to starts from the bench against stronger teams. Almada is simply quicker and can run alot more than today's Messi, but Messi playmaking and shooting ability is second to none that he could always make the difference in second half, especially against tired legs. In fact Messi should have had few assists in these past two games if his teammates didnt waste it.

 

I agree, it's not the worst case scenario being in one of Europe's top leagues where he's getting a lot of time.

 

Mostly due to financial fair play in the Prem. Villa has been incurring losses for 3 years straight and need to sell to stay compliant.

 

It kind of doesn't really matter who Dibu plays for, he always plays well for the NT, so in that sense it doesn't matter which club he goes to. Although I can't help thinking he would be better off staying at Villa rather than move to the clown show that is Man Utd.

 

That would be a good move for him.

 

In € this is what I just read it comes out to:

Of the total fee, €45 million goes directly to River Plate – which was the amount of Mastantuono’s release clause.

The remainder is allocated as follows: €11.8 million in Spanish taxes, €1.4 million to Association of Football Players, €0.9 million to AFA Structural Funds, €3.6 million under Decree 510/2023, and €0.5 million in other fees.

Prior to this:

Enzo Fernández, River Plate to Benfica, £8.5 million plus £8 million in add-ons, and 25 per cent sell-on clause plus bonuses during negotiations = £36 million net or €42.5
Javier Saviola, River Plate to Barcelona, €35.9 million
Lautaro Martínez, Racing Club to Inter Milan, €25 million
Julián Álvarez, River Plate to Manchester City, €23 million
Sergio Agüero, Independiente to Atlético Madrid, €20 million
Claudio Echeverri, River Plate to Manchester City, €18.5 million
Juan Román Riquelme, Boca Juniors to Barcelona, €11 million
Valentín Barco, Boca Juniors to Brighton & Hove Albion, €10 million
Ángel Di María, Rosario Central to Benfica, €8 million

Adjusted for today's dollars:
Diego Maradona, Boca Juniors to Barcelona, €25 million
Gabriel Batistuta, Boca Juniors to Fiorentina, €5.5 million

Am I missing anyone?

 

Yeah, that's probably true. I used transfermarkt and those were the numbers they gave for his transfer. I noted Mastantruono's fee was strictly what River received. It's still the biggest earning to date of all transfers. I looked up Enzo's transfer from Benfica to Chelsea to get the details on % earned. I think in Europe it's a usual clause that if a player is developed and sold a % might go to the original clause. That's good. We should do it more often.

 

I know Franco did not pan out for River but Valentin is the more talented brother. Remember, he impressed when he played a bit for Scaloni. He is coming off an injury, so it will be interesting to see how he plays.

Let's see if this manifests.

Agree 100%. A bit late but whole first half was thinking too much overlap between Almada and Messi. As a result when M came to the middle, A drifted out of position to the wing. Not his spot and we lacked width. Thought both played decent but they don't fit together.

The 2 wingbacks in 2nd half was interesting even tho Simeone was poor.

Medina was solid, we really missed Mac these 2 matches.

Alamada 8
Julian 7
Nico G 7
Messi 6
Paredes 6
Medina 6
RDP 5
Ota 5
Romero 5
Simeone 4
Molina 3
Enzo 2

 

To be frank, I dont blame some players for not showing up their best form in this round, its holiday time and we already qualified months ago. Enzo didnt even look like he wanna be there. He even passed the ball straight into Colombia's player.

Julian was posting pic of his holiday trip the very next day lol

 

We still got 4 points from the 2 games, despite there being absolutely nothing riding on thise games for us.

PS; Julian must be having a short holiday, Atletico play PSG tomorrow

 

Yea, imagine how grueling the schedule for our Atletico players. Enzo and Lautaro will be there aswell. Including qualifiers, Julian must have played no less than 60 matches .

The team clearly stucked in the first gear against Colombia and only the red card finally forced them to step up the intensity.

 

Maybe counter intuitive judging Utd's form, but seeing the national team in recent games, I think it's a great thing for Dibu to go to Utd so that he can help build that chemistry with Lisandro (when he comes back from injury) and not make Otamendi an automatic starter at the LCB position for the national team

Onana was terrible, so he'll make United a lot better himself, imo. On paper, they shouldn't be so much worse than Villa. Just a lot of nonsense going on.

 

I was curious, are there better right-backs than Molina? He’s honestly so bad; he can’t defend or attack. All he does is hug the touchline and make backward passes. He’s easily bullied off the ball too. I don’t consider Foyth a right back anymore since he's much more effective as a center back now. We can’t go to the World Cup with Molina as our first choice. Please tell me there are better right-backs out there

 

I don't think so, unless Giay goes to Europe this window and pray he does well

 

De Paul has been awful today vs PSG. He just cannot do anything. This has been a trend recently.

 

Yeah I don't know if he needs time off or if he's just cooked. Hopefully the former.
