Essential The Official Football (Soccer) Thread - Life and Death for South America, Pre-Season for Europe: The Club World Cup

I've never seen something like this Ole doesn't want to let Donny go, wants to keep Lingard, tried hard to keep Dan James but only uses one substitution per match and usually in the 85th minute


It's going to be hilarious if he doesn't play Cavani next two matches after stopping him from going to Uruguay.

Barca probably has the 3 worst transfers of all time. It's truly amazing.

Coutinho
Griezmann
Dembele

I wouldnt put Griezmann there tbf. Dude was 20 and 10 last season, those are good numbers in a team where Messi plays

The Nazio person needs to be sacked for incompetence. These football people dont have a database of contract details for all the clubs in Europe. Thats recruitment 101

Bruno wins the pen and Ronaldo misses it.

Keep Bruno on freekicks and pens

You brehs can think I'm trolling but they've signed the top goalscorer from Serie A and Sancho who is a guaranteed double digit goals and double digits assists player.

And don't forget the 4x Champions League and World Cup winning defender in his prime. He'll be playing alongside an 85m defender....with two fullbacks on either side who cost a combined 80m.

What are we doing here? Please explain why they aren't favourites.

Lingaard was one of the best players in the league in the second half of the year and he won't make their match day squads.

- Lingard was one of the best players at West Ham. He doesn't fit Ole's system.
- Ronaldo is 36. Being the best goalscorer in Serie A is almost like being the tallest midget in the circus.
- no chance Sancho gets double digit assists or goals. We haven't seen form like that from him since before Haaland arrived at Dortmund. Like Havertz he will initially struggle with the pace of the PL.
- they have no DM, which means they won't have the ball as they'd want.
- Ole is still the manager.

Chelsea and City are still head and shoulders above them.

They also thought they signed David Silva but he never answered their phone calls and ended up with Real Sociedad.

They also had Bielsa quit on them 2 days after he was hired

This C dot Citeh saga continues. The Irish keeper who saved his pen is a Citeh player.
