    It's not possible to sell everyone but we do have to be smart in who we sell.

    After what happened yesterday, I think one of Valverde or Tchoumeni need to leave in the summer. The two simply can't be on the same team next season, risking more divide and impact. So that's one point.

    The next is Vini. As good as he can be on his day, he's not signed a new contract and he's holding the club by the balls asking for 30ME. If he wanted to stay, he'd have accepted the very generous 20ME on the table now. Time to sell and get the highest fee for him, because we're not selling Mbappe and them two cannot play together anyway.

    Then the rest naturally follows for who's out of contract in the summer etc.

    Not really. There's a lot of athletes that won a lot but are huge losers.

    You'll see them in celebrity big brother, in celebrity boxing etc.

    Winning is often coincidental for an athlete in a team sport. Being a person of high character is a different case altogether, there's players that are amazing as human beings and personalities, but simply aren't that good as athletes.

    Ultimately this was inevitable when a coach is literally appointed with a singular mission to appease a tantrum throwing idiot and get him to sign a new contract.

    Dani was on camera mocking Trent. I dont think a single player on this team comes out of this season blameless

    In the past you said someone who has 1 percent more body fat than ideal leads to losing because "its unprofessional" but somehow the idea that squad harmony is important to winning is not true. For the millionth time, get a grip.

    I dont know what you said exactly but you said not being perfectly fit is an unforgivable sin, leading to what not, and now suddenly team spirit doesnt matter. The point is you go to insane distances to conclude that everyone having good relationships, pulling in the same direction, having focus etc doesnt mean anything in terms of winning. I thought I was supposed to be the "contrarian" one??

    Pretty much, yeah. But don't worry, I've been told by a guy online that it's really not that bad and that the leakers are the real enemy.

    At least we can deposit the 3M for Mourinho now.

    These players are in for a rude awakening and will weed out the weakest to just leave the club.

    Mourinho is a washed up antiquated Arbeloa who got beaten by his disciple this year. Give Alvaro some actual power, remove the egoists, troublemakers, big heads and rebels and bring loyal fresh blood, and give him an actual run.

    Nah ******** him. He wanted everything to revolve around Vini (openly) and went trophyless.

    And the next coach will have the option to not cater to Vinicius? And if that actually happens that will go well? Get Vinicius out of the club and let Arbeloa try again without having to do that.

    Arbeloa has no self respect and thus has lost all respect in the locker room even from the players that he teabags. There is no undoing that.

    Waiting for Mourinho, at this stage of his career, is such a low point in the history of this club...

    Arbeloa also lost 4-2 to Mourinho with a club that has 10x more budget.

    It won’t stop him. He’ll cater to the other egos in the team because he wants good vibes. ******** that nonsense now, this team needs someone completely opposite of that.

    What Arbeloa needs to do is coach elsewhere and get his pedigree, maybe he has a future in the future but not with these players.
