He'd better start performing well because that offer ain't on the table anymore.

The approach in itself was not the worst against a parked bus. You could see that it can work with the right players on the field. The real problem was having to chase for the equaliser after leading literally from the first minute of the game. This should just not happen if you look at both...

1492990816884768773 Saucy. Sending them to the Segunda. :lol: Let's hope he doesn't get banned for it.

He has surprised me so far. His dribbling is better than I expected. So far he seems more of a creator than a finisher. Pair him with a penalty box predator and he'll be decisive. Auba had 5 touches in 35min on the pitch, zero shots. Luuk had 3 touches in 8mins on the pitch, three shots and...

Xavi on Eric Garcia and Memphis Depay Eric is good. If tomorrow nothing crazy happens he’ll be on the list. We’ll see if he starts. Memphis still needs a bit more time. We’ll see how he evolves this week. He’s doing well, it’s a little relapse in the same area and it takes a little longer to...

Messi has a lifetime-contract with Adidas and is Barca's greatest player ever who was sponsored by Nike all his career. CR7 is Nike testimonial and played in Madrid in an Adidas kit for yours, so? Apparently this clause exists only for coming summer, but BVB would be willing to extend it to...

Translations of 1, 2, 4 and 5 are fine. The 3rd one is totally wrong as you already assumed. It says (analogously): In his dream destination Spain there is another option in form of Barca, but their finances are bad. Also, the club is rather working to get Messi back in order to calm the tense...

Bayern and Madrid both are out due to the fact that Lewandowski and Benzema are still way too good to be benched. They are basically their #1 crackerjacks. Don't know what it means if he stays another year at BVB. I thought his buyout is only valid this year, so next year you'll probably have...

Only player that featured in every game since Xavi took over.

Do you have the original article? German is my mother tongue and I can see if something got lost in translation. Not sure about the reliability of Ruhr Nachrichten though. Dortmund is the biggest city in Ruhrgebiet, so it is a local newspaper, but don't know if they have sources close to Haaland.

Interesting view. I agree that his current injury issues are a bit worrying and it is a risk to spend big on him.

The real question is, given the condition club has that 75M for Haaland's buyout: Would you rather invest that money in a CB, Busi-replacement or a CF/Haaland. All 3 are key positions but which would actually lift the club to the next level? In Liverpool's case it was clear. They had a great...

Well, every star back then was a tier below Messi and CR7. Hazard was very great for Chelsea and no one really expected his downfall. Jovic was a one hit wonder and a gamble on talent, not a star. Mbappe makes much more sense for Madrid now. And I can imagine that Madrid suggests Haaland to...

It would be great if Atletico buys Griezmann already this summer (don't remember the exact conditions of that 2-year loan) and Coutinho gets sold too. Dembele is pretty much gone and with the other two 100M+ transfers leaving too there would be a lot of savings in masa salarial. Guess Coutinho...

What does best even mean? He is Barca's best defender and doing so at 22. Comparisons with players from other clubs are pointless as it is hard to contrast and compare how they'd do in Barca's setup. Being a CB at Barca is pretty tough. Not much protection from midfield and the high defensive...

RFEF rules say the normal one-game suspension for a non-dangerous foul must be increased by a game if there was no intention to win the ball. Alves had no chance of winning the ball when making the challenge. No way it will get reduced to one game. Bitter for Alves as he'll miss the next 3...

Garcia should be what Lenglet was bought for. A reliable 3rd CB. I doubt Pique will end his career that way, that's why I don't think he'll retire in summer. His body seems fit and he plays a lot, so not much reason for him to retire from that perspective either. I really like the early...

Roberto has been very injury-prone in these past 2 years and was more of a fulltime father than a football player. Is he even worth half the salary he is earning now taking the newly-introduced scheme of salaries into account? At least that's the maximum you can reduce the salary of a player...

Banned for two games.

I think they've really just forgot about him. The fact that there was always the 20 in the background but only 19 players without Dembele underlines that.
