It is impossible to have sympathy for a club like Juve given its ugly history. Similar to cases like RM and more recently PSG. Fans are a different matter altogether. Having historically played (Juve) some of the most boring football of any club this successful (domestically) is not making it...

Pre-injury R9 (suffered his first very serious major knee injury at the age of 22 (recently turned 23 in fact) during the 1999-00 season, in fact Ronaldo already started to suffer from injuries during the 1998-1999 season aged 22 where he only managed to play in 28 games during that season...

No, the striker market is quite pathetic at the moment. That is why the likes of Mbappé are foolishly and insanely compared with the likes of pre-injury R9 or even worse Messi nowadays by certain "geniuses". Yes, Félix is an interesting option but I am not buying the hype and cautious as usual...

I will do the above and write a hand-written "thank you very much card" for anything above €100 million. Might include a good bottle of red wine as well. Just a misfit as I wrote from the very beginning when continuous rumors were linking us with him almost 1 year prior to the club foolishly...

He has a release clause of €120 million if I am not wrong. There is no way that Benfica will sell him for €70 million this summer. Benfica has zero interest in selling him this summer. His breakthrough occurred a few weeks ago. He has barely played. Yet to play in the CL, in the Europa League...

Jajaja, so it begins. https://www.mundodeportivo.com/futbol/fc-barcelona/20190308/46906093157/por-que-de-ligt-es-un-fichaje-estrategico-para-el-barca.html https://www.mundodeportivo.com/futbol/fc-barcelona/20190308/46905928830/la-ofensiva-por-de-ligt-despues-del-lyon.html Now he has become a...

:valverde:

Provided that he somehow will be 100% fully fit for the reminder of the season and him slowly regaining match form, would/should he get a starting spot next to Piqué in the clutch part of the season? Say a possible CL quarter-finals return leg or a CL semifinals game should Lenglet be ready as...

Yes, talk about having the right priorities.:lol: I guess you have to cling onto something in moments like that.:lol: Mbappé's contract runs out in 2022. Will stay for sure for the next season. Likely until 2021. By next summer (2020) we should be trying to get into contact with his entourage...

Good to hear about that. Not that I expected anything differently, honestly. He has been crap to put it mildly. Some signing. My initial comment was just in case Valverde had a intracranial hemorrhage and decided to use him.:valverde:

Rayo can't defend to save their own lives. Busquets, Suárez and Piqué to be rested. Possibly Messi for at least portions of the game. Rakitic could do with a break as well or limited minutes in the second half. I would use this lineup. MAtS Roberto, Umtiti, Lenglet, Alba Aleñá, Vidal...

You want a medal for having the two most valuable players in your squad according to Transfermarkt or what is it?:lol: How has it been going in the CL since you bought those two players for record fees? You exited the CL in the round of 16. Worse than in previous years excluding our wonderful...

They pretty much imploded this season after that great run in the CL last year. Di Francesco fired, Monchi leaving (most likely to Arsenal) and Ranieri ( :lol: ) appointed. Out of the CL against a mediocre Porto team and went out in the Coppa Italia with a bang (7-1 defeat against Viola away...

He is growing on me BIG TIME after such a visionary interview and those revolutionary ideas. Clearly thinking outside of the box. Really don't bother to translate such a long interview this time around. Maybe a translation is out there somewhere on Twitter or elsewhere. Or will be...

Exactly what I wrote about him 1 month ago or so minus the arrogance part as I am not really familiar with his demeanor on average as I don't watch Ligue 1 much. As for the hype in France, I am not the least surprised post the World Cup win. It definitely cannot be a good thing when you are not...

wisconsincule mate what is your take on Giannis OVER 24.5 points (1.83) tonight against the Pacers at home? Likely or not in your mind? Been a while since I threw money at Giannis (almost always a banker) or at anything for that matter. Never mind, looks like he won't be starting from the...

More and more talk about him arriving this summer from various local sources. If I have to make a guess it will end like the De Jong "saga". It all depends on whether or not Barto and the board will prioritize his signing. De Ligt would probably walk to BCN if that meant us signing him and the...

French Walcott.:lol: Good one mate, good one. Not sure. The world's best Farmer's League while getting high on French cheeses, snails, frogs and Merlot wines from Bordeaux. Would sign up on all of those BTW so not criticizing.

Great to see Napoli winning 3-0 against Salzburg (one of the better performing teams in the Europa League in recent seasons) and Valencia winning 2-1 against Krasnodar at the Mestalla. If they hold on to the win they should be favorites to advance. Also expected Sevilla to advance against Slavia...
