The Prophet Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 Always thought Sargent looked very raw, certainly wouldn't want to be relying on him in a relegation battle. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ameritoon Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 It'll be interesting to see how he does. Has never had consistent service, but generally has really good movement/anticipation and technically good. Has to prove it now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think PSG have been unlucky in the past to injuries to key players like Neymar. Rafa's 2008-2009 Liverpool was an order of magnitude better than the 2005 team which won the CL. Chelsea's team which won the CL in 2011 or 2012 wasnt as good as the Chelsea team of 2005-2010. Best team doesnt win in most of the cases. Which is why the achievement of Zidane's Madrid is so impressive. Agreed. I think it has been harder for an oil, state etc. Banked club to win the CL because there’s no history of success in that competition. Now due to finances they will dominate. Chelsea, PSG and City have been competitive for what? 10-15 years. And have 2 CLs between them, both belonging to Chelsea who have a first mover advantage. Until now CL has largely remained in the footballing aristocracy Real, Barcelona, Liverpool, Manchester United, Bayern. while they still have capital I think the Super League will happen in the next 5 years or the CL revamped even more. The pandemic has put footballing aristocracy 10 years behind PL and funded clubs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest neesy111 Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 Urghh, buy back is another thing I'd ban from football. Means top clubs can hoard younger players and then sell them on to progress and then buy them back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 Weren't they paying Messi like 700k a week? I get it, it's Messi and he's probably worth it, but got to wonder how much that skews the rest of the wage bill? Coutinho isn't going to come to them for £150m or whatever it was and get paid a fraction of what Messi earns. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
