We need Kounde as part of our starting CB partnership, where he belongs and makes us strongest. LW, DM and RB if possible would be the order. An attacking minded RB since the other options are defensive. Frimpong would be great.

I don't think there is any doubt Nico is our first option, but beggars can't be choosers. Bilbao are notorious for being difficult to deal with. They rather refuse everything for a 55mil buyout than accept 60mil in 20mil installments. Especially when it comes to La Liga rivals, particularly us...

If he wants to move, should be for even less. They should be willing to take 15mil vs nothing next June. If he actually does prefer Barca that is.

Looks like both Philogene and Onana are signing for Villa. If they sign Nico but keep Romeu and don't sign a DM again I'll be at a loss for words.

That's because he's not a LW, and we should stop acquiring players to play positions that they don't actually play. Crazy concept, right? 😚

Just to be clear, I'm first generation American but my family on both sides have a long Portuguese lineage. The area I live in has Portuguese everywhere, the restaurants and footy clubs are :rockon: With that said, @JohnN is entirely correct. Ronaldo is delusional and the coach is doing what's...

Bringing in Frimpong and Nico would be an injection of much needed attacking prowess. Frimpong has played mostly as an attacking wide RM under Xabi, but he's capable of playing as an attacking RB. I would settle for a cheaper option for LW like Philogene on loan (option to buy would be great if...

It's looking more and more unlikely we are going to sign Nico. Lots of links to this fella and I'll be honest I've never watched him. His highlights were surprisingly impressive and enjoyable though. A few of my EPL friends said he's a solid young player with a high ceiling and that he often...

Absolute sadness if true. This parasite probably planning on leaving for free and stinking up the place for 5 seasons in the meantime.

More links today with Olmo...are they really about to make the same mistake, again, for the 5th or 6th time in a row?! Also reports Faye going to Porto for 15mil is close. It's the same agent, so who knows.

We can only hope that he continues to score goals and other teams don't actually watch the games and realize he plays like shit 99% of the rest of the time. 25mil would be a blessing.

I'm Portuguese and it's a shame Ronaldo is still playing for the national team. He's so cringe that I find it impossible to support the team. There is always Brazil and USA though.

There is nothing Torres offers that a La Masia kid can't also provide for us. If they bump the 15+5 to a flat 20, take it and run because in a few seasons he'll be leaving for free or we'll be paying someone to take him from us. If we can find some idiots to buy him for 30mil I'd be over the...

Everyone that has stepped into a gym knows chest press...you guessed it, isolates chest and triceps secondarily. No one is saying he has to lift really heavy and look like Arnold. What I'm saying is chest pressing a barbell of 65lbs as a young, athletic early 20s male is laughable. It really is...

You are a sad, toxic little man. Projecting onto others aren't ya buddy.

It is to us.

Portuguese clubs don't sell cheap. But if they put him on the market, there will be a dozen suitors willing to pay 40-50mil. Not Barca, but half the EPL will be trying. Some strikers don't peak until their prime, some burn out by 23. I'd be wary of us signing someone only after 1 excellent...

He's turning 28 in a few weeks. 20-30mil for a 28 year old with one year left on his contract would be a disaster.

We aren't buying anyone for 100mil anytime soon. Hell, we aren't buying a player for 70mil either.

Who knows. Historically trainers have suggested high rep sets as preferable for endurance training and lower rep, heavier lifting for strength building. For a professional athlete who's job it is to eat healthy and train, he should be doing both with cardio as an obvious given. I wasn't trying...
