Whoa whoa it's still too early to call him a write off, Pedri's been injured every other season but so far he's okay. .

But I do agree, It's Raphinha's time to show he's actually a BdO candidate especially since he's in his prime now. I don't understand how our scouting department can't find decent back up.

Barca and Real have the classic we're rich but we like to fill out players 16-25 on the cheap. Also when you do get good squad players you don't play them enough. Lack of rotation and they get fed up. Or if they do get game time only because of injuries. As soon as the starting player is back fit the squad player is bushed even if it would be better continuity wise till the starter has gained fitness again.

Man just look at the last 10 years. Rising forward? Good luck getting minutes with MSN. And if you do, here come Dembele, Coutinho, and Griezmann to steal your thunder. Remember when we signed Kevin-Prince Boateng? LOL

Midfield? Yeah, one spot available in a 3 man midfield. Good luck getting minutes when Rakitic or Busquets have to start.

Defense was a disaster, Alba and PK were good but he needed competition. I remembered when we couldn't move Umtiti or Lenglet because we handed them the " Original Fati Special" contract lol.

Don't even get me started on how the pandemic exposed all our screw-ups. We clearly haven't learned.
We should’ve actually integrated Paulinho, Yerry Mina, Tobido, Kessie, Vidal and Malcom better. We actually e needed these guys.

Now we’re wrecking the B team too, not playing in the Segunda is madness. They're closer to relegated then to promotion at the moment.

My only envy of Madrid is how ruthless they are. If Vini started to shyt the bed for real tomorrow, Perez would ship him out while we're still paying Fati's major wages until 2027 and Lenglet is technically still a Barca player lol.

Lookman is your CAF Men’s Footballer of the year!!

:blessed:

If Atalanta win the Scudetto and make a deep run in UCL he’s favorite to run it back next year, too.

I hope more innit boys will reconsider playing for the Super Eagles in the future. NFF has to do it’s part in making the environment nurturing for all players but playing for the Super Eagles is still a massive platform.

Are chelsea really that irrelevant or there are no chelsea fan on this forum. only 2 chelsea related post in about 10 pages, even when they are playing, there's never a post about them unless it's a big game.

This section is basically dominated by Utd,arsenal,barca and madrid:francis:
