  1. Kinda want to see this at a pub. But I just recently moved to Glasgow so I guess not just any pub any suggestions?
  2. Can't help but think France have a couple of more gears to slip into. They have at least completely fooled me of how good they really are.
  3. Fellaini, Witsel and Dembele are gonna stifle Griezmann and Pogba. France won't threat much with Matuidi on one of the wings.
  4. I don't know. For me he seems to fit right in and is able to be a key player for at least five years. With Iniesta and Xavi out and Messi and Suarez at the wrong side of 30 they're bound to need some replacements. There really aren't many players in the world capable of that but I'd like to think that Coutinho is one of them. I'm just honestly not sure if getting rid of him and having 400m in the bank instead helps that situation. Just goes to show how mad money in football has become even entertaining the thought of not selling someone for 400m After all it's just a question of what money can really buy you. I guess it makes sense in terms of the Nou Camp renovation.
  5. I presume they are going to sell Neymar/Mbappé and want a replacement. Release fee is €400m, if they oblige I'll drive Coutinho to Paris myself. Would you though...? Money and worth in football has gone so bonkers. Would Barcelona be better off as a team with €400m in the bank and Coutinho out the door? Honestly I'm not sure. Football is a strange economy
  6. Ours has to be one of the worst if not the worst academy in the PL.
  7. So strange. He's 23 years old this year and has pretty much never played a competitive game. His agent must be a wizard.

    England

    Fucking well done England. Very professional and tactically coherent performance, big kudos to Southgate, he had a plan and it worked in every aspect. Has to be said there's a good spine to this side. From Pickford to Maguire towards Henderson and Kane.
  9. Fucking Lukaku man. Such a joy to watch, has it all. De Bruyne has to be the best passer of a ball I've ever seen as well. Pure filth that Belgium side when they're on.
  10. Whisper it quietly but I heard that it wasn't the PL when Leeds won it.

    Alassane Pléa

    Like the look of him. Seems like the kind of all-in-one striker that Rafa prefers - quick, can finish, shoot from distance, run the channels and capable in the air. Reminds me a bit of Remy.

    Was really hoping for an England defeat to prove a point but fuck me did I enjoy that, fucking get in

    England

    Falcao wins a ridiculuous amount of headers for being 5ft10.
  14. Tactical masterclass from Martinez bringing on Fellaini and Chadli
  15. This is why you never go far, this is why you lose to Iceland and this will probably be the reason for you lot losing against Colombia on Tuesday. Unbelievable mentality Nowt to fear against Croatia, Jesus wept.
  16. What's funny? He will clearly have to start playing deeper and he has all of the technique, vision & passing range of Modric. Modric covers a ridiculous amount of ground, probably on average 60% more than Messi does. This includes a lot of closing down and running into space, something which Messi in his thirties is probably not going to all of a sudden start doing haha. Would love to see Messi in a more relaxed playmaking role as he gets older but Modric is pretty much a box-to-box player.

    Mikel Merino

    He's 6'2 But still I'm very curious about the circumstances. If he doesn't think he's capable of competing with or ousting Diame from the starting XI I'm not sure he's up to it at all. Crying shame as he could develop into a monster of a midfielder.

    England

    Six defenders starting
  19. Preferably we shouldn't be getting rid of any of Ritchie, Mbemba, Mitrovic and Merino. They're all PL quality and we need depth just as much as we need to bring in new players. Shipping out Ritchie would particularly be a travesty. Not that he's such a great winger, we should actually be looking for a replacement for him in the starting XI but he's obviously a leader in the dressing room and he's perfectly capable as a back up.
  20. Would rather we'd spent that kind of money on Tierney. Probably the only player in the SPL who's PL class and then some.
