madras Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 (edited) Am I the only one thinking he's not actually that good ? I mean compared to prime Ronaldo (both) or Messi types. Edited July 24, 2023 by madras Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LionOfGosforth Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 I mean he's one of the best players in the world currently, I get that. I don't find him particularly likeable but whatever. Is he really that good though? I don't even think he cracks my historical top 20 personally, very subjective though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
timeEd32 Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 24 minutes ago, The College Dropout said: Hosting a World Cup is short-sighted. The end game should be to have the premier club competition. If not the Saudi league, a competition involving Saudi teams. Logistics limits the wider appeal of a club world cup. It has to be in the summer or winter but that's a short amount of time. But i think that could be a short-term measure. La Liga already plays a Super Cup competition in KSA. Why not have another small competition with the Saudi teams during Christmas + the La Liga teams? Then slowly expand that competition. I think the end game is a year-round competition involving Saudi teams that runs alongside domestic league competitions. I think that starts with changing the Spanish Super Cup to include KSA teams. I'm sure something longer sustaining is in mind, but there's no bigger event than the World Cup and the fact a smaller Middle East country hosted it first probably annoys them. They will want to be the showcase of the world for a month and then continue building from there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean compared to prime Ronaldo (both) or Messi types. We posted something similar at the same time. I agree, he's obviously very good but for me, wouldn't even make my top 20. Then again I have a preference for artistic, truly creative players of yesteryear, rather than these video-game-fast types of the modern game.

Deuce Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 take away his *checks notes* 310 goals and assists in all competitions over the past 6 seasons and what has he got really Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaqen Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 He's clearly brilliant like. Using Messi and Ronaldo as a yardstick to measure others by seems a bit harsh There's fair chance we won't say players of that level again in our lifetime. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds delightful. However probably means Skintventus have to pay cash for Lindstrom whilst getting nowt from us until next year. Unlikely to happen.

Ah, so you are saying we should buy Lindstrom, loan him to Juve then get Chiesa on loan with an option to buy. Jobs a goodun. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The door is definitely not closed on Saudi teams joining. Aye, but the reason they play in Europe should be quite clear to anyone who has passed GCSE Geography and Religious studies.

RobsonsWonderland Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 I don't think anyone can defend this argument. I mean I bet PSG would have snapped their hands off for a 100 million maybe 150…, I guess they just made sure man city or Chelsea could not match them Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
duo Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 (edited) The £259 Mil bid just makes no sense to me - if PSG need to sell then surely they'd accept a lower offer. Edited July 25, 2023 by duo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mbappe's probably the football equivalent of whoever is going to be the best tennis player over the next decade. We've had the Ronaldo/Messi/Federer/Nadal/Djokovic era, he's still world class just not their level. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
