Essential The Official Football (Soccer) Thread - 'We will not be there.' - Pep Fraudiola

City should be all over De Jong if this happens. But then his wages and his owed money at Barca.

Who can City realistically go after?

His salary is crazy, don't think he comes unless he takes a wage cut.

Paqueta is the name I keep hearing, and I'm OK with that.

Interesting

Then he's an idiot.

All the news about Barca and you wanna go there to chill with Lewandowki and Kounde in the stands?

He has wanted out and go to Spain for the past 2 years. So it isn't that much of a surprise is it? And after seeing everyone else leave this summer he's probably thinking I've asked for 2 years and I'm still here

Just need the rest of to those Barca academy players put in transfer requests. Gavi already made it clear he isn't signing a new contract if they sign Bernardo.

Now we're linked with Morata.

I used to really like Barça but the past few years of financial shenanigans man

I hope all their non Catalan players stay firm regarding the wages they're owed.

What's getting lost in all United fukkery is how badly ETH set up the team yesterday.

Eriksen false nine, Fred as a 6 and then McTominay pushing up a lot (almost a second striker on occasion). Basically leaving Fred as a lone midfielder.

Has playing a random player, that's not a generational talent, as a false nine ever worked? Especially recently when the concept of a fasle nine is no longer a novelty.

ETH playing connect four, not checkers

Barca being broke boys and Moviestar staring relegation in the face. Got to love Spanish incompetence

Now we're linked with Morata.

I don't see what the top clubs see in him. He's not a bad player but I don't how he manages to be a starter in the top clubs.

 

[EQ.]

Heard he's only taking home around $25k/wk at LAFC

Wild. Probably heavily incentivized with sign-on bonus and mandated days off for golf

Terrible finisher. But he is a good workrate player especially if you keep C Tart. Better bet than Sesko would of been for this season.

Size good in the air with mobility good workrate and movement. That will always get looks and he still plays for Spain.

I still have nightmares of Morata when he was with Chelsea

The Spanish version of Werner

Yeah and last year Mendes was at the Etihad damn near every week trying to engineer move but Brokealona could never make a good offer. Raheem and Jesus left because their deals were gonna expire, Zinchenko got a nice pay rise and more playing time, Bernardo is a regular and his deal expires in 2025. Anyone can leave but them Catalans need to make a respectable offer.

Wtf?
