Essential The Official Football (Soccer) Thread - RIP Diogo Jota
The market is crazy like that. Look at Higuain's fee from Real to Napoli to Juve where it seemed his value just tripled even taking into account he was a top scorer for Napoli. Lukaku's fee for Everton was also considered high when he moved but it turned out well for them. I believe it is a combination of strikers being expensive plus intra-EPL transfers generally being way above what other leagues pay for players of higher or equivalent quality. Suarez release clause was 40 million pounds like 3 or 4 seasons back, today he would be a 100milion easily.

I'm not that big on Lukaku but his goal record is nothing sniff at so I'm all fot him coming to join UtD.
Perez is playing the transfer business on another level, Levy comes close but being able to get that much for Morata coming off the bench is something else even after scoring a modest amount while on loan to Juve. I also read that their youth team has a bunch of gems in there too ready to take over when they phase out some of their guys.

Lukaku >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Morata, in nearly every category.
Morata also has the mental fortitude of a teenage boy. He broke down at Juve because his GF broke up with him and his teammates had to set him up with a nice Italian girl to get him to calm tf down and play.
Mourinho is an idiot, sold Lukaku and KDB and look at them now, both would massively improve his team lol.

They took part of Barca's blueprint and invested in their midfield, have way better fullbacks and a better bench than Barca. Like you said the only good part of Barca is their front 3 but Real has made improvements everywhere else to be less reliant on that front 3. Whereas Real used to be stuck in controversy about the appropriate role of older legends like Raul and Casillas , Barcelona seems to be content with relying on tweaks to the Pep 2009-2012 era teams. They are more ruthless at Real these days, they have moved on lots of their older players and Barca are just content with buying bench players to rotate with their established 11. They are linked to Paulinho
brought back Defoleu , don't seem to be in the market for a right back. They will be even more dependent on Messi who is increasingly playing the way he did for Argentina trying to play like Xavi and the number 10 combined.
lol. If Lukaku to Manu is legit, their playing style is gonna be even more depressing to watch. Pogba is `literally the only creative outlet besides Mata(who barely plays). They need to get forwards who can create for themselves not a glorified donkey.

I think Barca are broke that's why they sign these shytty players.
Messi just signed a new contract, MSN Salary is too high, Barca don't have PSG, City, Chelsea, Real 'fukk you money'.
Might also be why La Masia currently has a fire sale going on.

Im convinced Ronaldo is as close to a real Bruce Wayne as we'll ever get
He and Jeter are on another level with how to handle these hoes in the social media era. I mean come'on, how is it he is probably smashing chicks regularly that are dimes and non of them are out gloating about it.
Makes you wonder...

I think he'll form a good partnership with Rashford and Martial. Ibra scored some goals but wasn't looking to pass to a goddamn soul.
I'd like Auba or Icardi.Chelsea is fukking up, we told Costa his not wanted & we dont even have a replacement striker secured yet
I get it at some point we had to get rid of Costa, dude is a liability, he has a temper & close to receiving a red card in almost every match. Dude also was tempted to leave for China, he got no loyalties. He hasnt been the same player since those China transfer bid.
Seasons starts in 4 weeks & we dont have a striker
Icardi does so much more than sxore
Him and hazard would be
My man Ricky Martin was knocking chicks down for years before he came out, he even got some chick pregnantC'mon Ronaldo can't be gay. I remember in his ManU days he said he liked Spanish,Portuguese and Brazilian women. Smh. If he comes out the LGBTRSTUVWXYZ community is going to be even more bold and annoying.
