Qualifiers are not Champions League football, get serious. Almiron is 28 years old and everyone knows what he is ffs. 100% irrelevant to this conversation.

I know that, I responded to gdm's post about his valuation being based on his performances in the Austrian BL and Champions League when in reality he hasn't done much yet in his career.

Yeah, against Bröndby in a qualifier. I don't see how that's relevant to my point.

I think we are too late on Sesko anyway. Haaland being such a success from the same club and the 'next Haaland' tag raises his value even more even though it shouldn't have any correlation to Sesko's valuation.

Sesko has scored 6 goals in Austrian Bundesliga and 0 in Champions League in his career. When teams are basing their valuation almost entirely on potential, having a good game against Liverpool even in a friendly is a pretty big thing.

I don’t know if it’s the Ashley-era or what but the season starts in a week and there’s always someone suggesting we sell our best winger. Would rather just sign one.

Maybe sell Wilson too when we still could get a fee for him. And take the quick £15-20m profit on Bruno while we are at it.

I'm still scratching my head with this. He's fucking slow!

I wasn't paying full attention but was watching and didn't see him touch the ball once.

This topic is interesting but I have no clue what the argument is about. @Milanista saying that Milan have loads of money while downplaying their budget massively means I'm not sure I get his point. If Milanista's numbers are right they are paying less wages than Leeds which contradicts his original point, no?

They were better in the first half but poor in the second.

Fucking robbed of the penalties.

Could've been a straight red.

Shortstaff has been alright.

Nah, it's the pre-season thread.

Yeah, Lascelles is absolutely fine as a 4th choice CB for now.

I didn't see Anderson touching the ball or doing anything else for that matter. No idea he's playing if I didn't see the lineup beforehand.

Trippier is ridiculous and Almiron makes my posts about the RW position look stupid.

Benfica have some nice players.

ASM close.

Good turn by Longstaff, Bruno is magical in possession.

Nice FK.

That's not a foul.

Wew, Almiron with a lovely ball to Trips and scores.
