The College Dropout Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 Aye wide forwards are counted as Midfielders. Eden Hazard played a lot in a front 3 for Chelsea. But he's definitely a midfielder imo. Same as Bernardo Silva. So if they're midfielders, so are Mane and Auba who play the same position nominally but do it in a very different way. I agree that it makes the third striker option less appealing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 Probably need to start giving 6 midfield options and 2 strikers? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Village Idiot Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 So, about the situation brewing at Valencia. The local press is reporting that the club has told players it can't meet wage obligations for the upcoming season, and has offered the squad to pay them with promissory notes - which the players have refused unless they come guaranteed by the club ownership. Club sources say the deal they proposed the players was just to reduce the club's financing burden, and that players will get their money as normal. The club potentially faces relegation if wages are left unpaid. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raconteur Posted August 18, 2020 Share Posted August 18, 2020 37 year old former West Ham player Alessandro Diamanti has been named player of the year in the Australian A-League. I’ve watched him a few times - he plays for my local club Western United - and while he is clearly a quality player, it’s a bit sad that someone who gets around as if in a wheelchair is the best player in the league...

La Parka Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 Not really. A 40 year old Chris Waddle was on another level at Worksop despite being unable to leave the centre circle unless it was free kicks. Quality at any age is apparent. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raconteur Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 Yes, le Fondre (33) has done very well at Sydney. One goal behind is Berisha (35). On top of them both is very much the odd man out - a "prime-age" Australian international. He's not good enough for Europe, so he came home and starting playing and scoring. There's so much wrong with our game - we import ancient players who light up our league and we thank them. Our teens leave for Europe and surface ten years later at... Sunderland, instead of actually playing and developing. Like, I love Diamanti - he's our captain and agreed to stay on an extra year in a league where foreigners don't do that - but I'm also very fond of the U-21 international that also plays at #10 who rarely gets a kick. Of course, it's just as likely Pasquali will say in ten years "I owe it all to that one year I played with Diamanti" (Soz all, despairing of our game. As you were) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

triggs Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 Celtic fans still think they're a huge club which is the issue.

Raconteur Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 Apparently Celtic are selling Rogic to a Qatari club for £4m. He must have gone completely to shit if he can’t get a game for them (and that’s all they can get for him, and from whom). Has he really become awful, or has he stopped giving a fuck?

They will be the first players of African ethnicity to play for Spain. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
