Anyone watch a lot of Sporting? Lots of fellas at the Portuguese clubs here singing him praise. His stats this season were exceptional and it looks like was also good for Coventry as well. Interesting profile, modern forward that can dribble. Looks like Sporting broke their transfer fee record...

When I was that age I was benching 135lbs as a warmup set, was like air. My girl does 5kg plates now and we are in our 30s LOL

Yea, I agree. Even with the example you provided, Felix is an exceptionally gifted player but only shows it 1/5th of the time. He is also not a player who makes up for not showcasing his talent more via pressing, effort and grit. He either makes something happen with his talent or blends in with...

I mean, almost everything he said was mentioned with sound reasoning. Except him believing Eric might come back and not be trash. That aint happening. But everything else was kind of spot on.

I would play him hard during preseason and tell him this is where you earn to stay or not, show us what you got. If he doesn't shine, loan or sell if anyone wants him. Sounds unfair to the kid since our surgeons essentially fucked him, but it is what it is.

Just another reminder that Xavi requested this bum for 65mil vs all the other bright talents of his generation. Feels. Bad. Man.

We have an excellent team and have used more funds in the past 2 seasons than other teams in La Liga have spent in a decade. We have played unattractive and disorganized football, the worst in decades under Xavi. On top of it, we squeaked by last season on many close wins, frequenting 1-0, 2-1...

Like any company or social structure, good leadership starts at the top. Xavi has a lot of influence on the mentality of the players, especially the younger ones. You can't simply ignore that.

I agree. I've always liked Araujo but the temperament he displayed this season has been dreadful and embarrassing. It's like Xavi's whining and childish behavior rubbed off on the squad. He 100% had no one to blame but himself for his mistakes. A real man, and future captain especially, would...

I'd take 25mil and a bag of marbles and be overwhelmed with joy.

"Frimpong has pace, dribbling and balls. He can beat defenders and get into the box. We havent had that since early Alves. Meunier is already 30 and he's average going forward and not great defensively. Flushing money down the toilet. At least you get someone who is effective going forward...

This seems like a decent way to go about it. Araujo had an off year for sure, but unless Chadi has a lot of speed I'm unaware of, we'd be missing a CB with pace and that's the one thing Araujo gave us that is invaluable. He bailed us out a lot with that speed in the past, despite his poor form...

Brighton just confirmed that De Zerbi is leaving and is going to be a free agent. He's used to having a limited budget, developing youth and has an attacking philosophy. I remain hopeful that this why suddenly Xavi is in question in the media again.

Scored it infront of an incredible 5k people, a few slaves and a camel or two.

How many times did Xavi say "we deserved to win" or "we played well" after an absolute horror show of a performance? Not to mention excuse after excuse or blaming the loss on officials due to 1 call when in the match as a whole we were disastrous and ineffective. Meanwhile he keeps playing...

Oh I see the big picture. They have a major part of the blame but how does that have anything to do with mismanaging our squad, money and new transfers since? You're telling me we can't play attractive football with what we have? They had around 250mil at their disposal. Teams play more...

Mason Greenwood links seem to continue appearing. The kid is incredibly talented, we'd be lucky to have him. He's two footed, but favors his left and is strongest on the RW where we already have Yamal. Compared to some of the other LW options we've been linked to, I'd rather take him and play...

What a shame. He was looking great for both PSV and the national team. He struggled here a bit but showed glimpses of his talent. Awfully timed injury for his development. Ruined any chance of potentially selling him and making that 20mil fee back too.

Yea, the Laporta, Deco and Xavi trio are doing a great job. Best football I've seen us play in years. Oh wait.

This guy has 2.5 years worth of being a certified bum and still plays over Roque. Giving Xavi any say in future signings would be an absolute disaster. Flush more money down the toilet. He couldn't manage the players he inherited or the crucial money that was gifted to him to sign new ones.
