He doesn't seem like a disrespectful or lazy player. I would be more concerned it's an actual mental health problem like anxiety or something if he's making up injuries to miss games. He was kind of a meme for this at Chelsea in his last months, they called him stomach ache Christensen.

I think the answer is somewhere in the middle. Economics and infrastructure play a big part but its undeniable that certain ethnicities are more successful in football for one reason or another. Most of the players in the successful European NTs are naturalised/immigrated there from another...

Denmark has a population of 6 million odd, and not much footballing culture, but yet a top20 team in the world, rivalling nations with populations 10x the size and better footballing history. That's impressive.

Needs to cut his losses and play Buendia.

If he couldn't get into the team last season when we had 0 options there wasn't any chance he would get into it now, like you said, just not at the level. I hope we can get a decent fee for him given he was a starter for a LaLiga team in his loan and not sold for free like all the others.

According to @porteranunez a few days ago Xavi picked Pjanic over Collado, and now Collado will leave. Strange because he was telling the media about how Xavi wanted him and he'd come back to the first team after his last game with Granada. Good luck for wherever he'll go. Relevo says its most...

Nobody said he has to be a speed demon, but you at least need to be ok physically to be a good winger. Demir's top speed is considerably lower than Busquets statistically. Of course this will pose an obstacle for him to succeed at a high level. At the highest level even if you can murder...

Ah you're right, LAFC is actually the new club that were incorporated some years ago right? So actually a worse team than LA Galaxy. Damn. Also I don't think it is really his fault he can't play at a top level, he is just incredibly physically limited. If he'll make it for a good European team...

Mitrovic may really have just been unlucky in his previous Prem seasons. Very impressive today against a top team in the world. You don't score 45 goals in any league if you're a bad player, let alone the Championship which is arguably the strongest 2nd division. He absolutely demolished it...

There are clearly obstacles to this renewal and there have been for some time. Alemany first said everything was agreed and would be announced on August 5th when he turns 18. The day passed and nothing. Now they are saying its because he can't be registered yet (they announced Dembele and...

It's not possible under MLS rules. He was signed with TAM which iirc is a max of $4m. Only a designated player can make 6.5m net a year and they did not give him that spot. So that figure is literally made up.

Xavi is learning and developing his philosophy as time goes. When he was just starting as a manager he was obsessed with possession football and playing football like he did as a player. As time's gone on he's become partial to crossing it to a big number 9 and has changed his views drastically...

I think what happens is if the salary is too low LaLiga assigns their own value depending on their judgement of said player's ability/past contracts? And they must have thought a 40 year old Alves was worth 6m on the salary cap. :lol: :lol: :lol: The evil of Tebas knows no ends.

Several seasons ago probably but definitely not this year. LA didn't even give him a DP spot, so he won't be making that much money there. If he's gone to MLS without a big salary offer. he must have really lacked options.

Another issue with our sales technique is we never sell when stock is high. We always wait for players to get exposed like khaled_a_d said and then sell them, by which point they aren't worth anything anymore. We don't anticipate our players stock well and don't cut players loose at the right...

In advanced talks to move to LAFC apparently (and join Puig). He's only 19 years old. We dodged a bullet with this guy. Gotta be so careful with those Austrian league players...

55m fixed plus 7m add ons for Cucurella. 62m...? That is absolutely crazy. Meanwhile all the B team and fringe players of this season are going for free with sellon clauses. I get Cucu is probably more talented than all of them but I struggle to believe he took that big of a step forward after...

80m euros is impossible for Trent. Will cost at least triple figures even if he is desperate to come.

https://twitter.com/OfficialBHAFC/status/1554916787384467463?t=h3N-PaApXkXbq-ZZa6IzrQ&s=19 Brighton officially state no deal is done. Could be them trying to squeeze Chelsea for even more.

I would agree he is just a simple pessimist usually but his reasoning is often sound and correct in a lot of cases. For example, for Ferran, he identified a lot of the flaws we talk about now before he actually came. He is overkill with the pessimism but he makes a lot of good arguments in his...
