The College Dropout

Not this season.

At attacking.

Looked off for me

The shabbiest Madrid side for a long time imo. So many ACL injuries these last 2 seasons

Been following Minteh a bit.. that side is always chopping and changing. That's not all the managers fault. Brighton have like 3 CB, 4 RWs, 4AMs, 2 Strikers. It's a talentd but messy squad - not optimised for performance.

It’s giving AVB for sure. Who went on to have a solid career but has seemingly packed it all in in his early 50s to become a race car driver (this is not entirely made up).

AH SHOLA FFS! USELESS!

Ange is a manager for a team that wants to progress. Not a relegation battle team. Better off going abroad in Europe at a European level club.

I think some of the injury woes are self inflicted. Likes to rush players back

Wouldn’t keep him on the same wages. Unless he’s happy to go to Saudi and we can get £10m for him in the summer or later

PSR is a factor to keep him. im guessing his wages are £4-5m. Amortisation if renewed will be under £1m. Jonathan David on a free would be £5m on wages and close to the same for signing on fee. Probably more.

Wilson > DCL. Scored more goals than DCL from the start of last season. Is 1 goal behind DCL this season. Lower wages. If they think he can stay fit. Do it. Family could be settled in the area. If he’s backup he might prefer the less minutes and less toll on his body. He might like the approach Bunce and co are taking to performance and wellbeing. He has to live another 40 years in that body. Probably his only route to being in a team that can compete for trophies too.

If the PL are cartel puppets they won’t care about the costs of further legal action. Bleeding the PL financially via courts is one of cities primary strategies. L

Does he write this in preparation or is it off the top of the head?

Barely watching but liked the look of Malen. Was he up top?

Would be awful. Would steal the europa league spot too

I don’t want o jinx it. But I dreamt we won a domestic cup double

Only Hall & Isak for me. If you asked a Liverpool fan would they swap Gravenberch or another starter CM for Tonali I don’t think they would. I think at least 1 of Tonali or Bruno would but it’s close. I take a prime Robertson over this Hall too

Only 3 of ours would definitely start for them. There’s an argument for another CM + Gordon. And Liverpool have crazy squad depth. Which is huge. The bench has done us against them this season, last season when we were 1 up and the 4th season too. That’s pretty much the pattern of our games with them when it’s close. They end super strong with legs and with legs and quality while we fade.

I was going to say a young Paulo Wanchope but Collymore is a good shout. I don’t remember Collymore being so good in tight spaces on the dribble, more rangey on the counter type but I was young.

The amount of times Real play a CM at CB and RB is criminal.

This Real Madrid midfield is so bad. You can’t have 4 attackers that barely defend.

My assumption is Wilson is on 70-100k. £40k 1 year deal plus generous bonuses for appearances and goals. I’m for it.

If he drops the wages in half. Happy to play 20 minutes at the end of games and the odd cup game…. I kinda like it. I do love Wilson though and sentimental. If the wages are low enough - I’m for it.

Spurs were a midtable team those times. We had challenged recently. In my lifetime we’ve never beaten a team a level above us en route a final. The thing with Chelsea, Arsenal, Liverpool, Man U - they’ve beaten teams better than them to trophies.
