By Cleff Go To PostThey'll still demand 80m for him and fail to get any bidders. When it comes to business sense in transfers they're pretty lacking.This is recency bias. We've had some incredible transfers in the last 10 years. Who knew Bale, James and Hazard would be this broken really? Can't explain duds like Jovic, that's on us.
Marca are not a good source, they're like tier 3/4.

By LabouredPatriot Go To PostBut one thing I cannot fathom is how he could have worked for so long with Pep and learn almost zero lessons in respect of effective attacking structure and movements. He hasn't even just left it to their best players to figure out themselves on the pitch, he puts them in straight-jackets like LVG did with us.
pep does the same thing, though.
you're describing pep there.
pep's all about the system.
Arsenal should get Bielsa, he has done great with Leeds and the hipster contingent that makes up a significant portion of Arsenals fan base would love it.

I know, but City play systemically quick, exciting football.
Arteta has for some reason put a system in place which achieves little, and is slow and boring.
bielsa is brilliant, but his system works because he has everyone's backing. the fans, the players, the management. switching to arsenal, the most toxic club in the world, would bring us the most incredible bielsa implosion. i say do it.
No way Mbappe is going to Madrid. They are getting Bale back, and with Hazard on the side, there isn’t any room left in the wage budget. Probably why Flo didn’t want to let go of the ESL dream, as it looks pretty much impossible for them to invest on another star player without selling someone they don’t want to sell. But please don’t let that be a deterrent, somebody tell papa Flo that it’s ok to sell Varane to Utd.
Is Varane even good anymore? If I were a contending PL club I would stay far away from any of Madrid’s players lol.
Edit: and Barcelona for that matter

Just genuinely desperate shit now. This is the sort of thing you pull when you're in danger of folding.
By Perfect Blue Go To PostIs Varane even good anymore?r
Absolutely and at 28 years old he has the experience to back up his physical and technical traits. Obviously how good he is depends on how much RM is willing to sell him for, but I would pay between 60 to 70 million for him and even sweeten the deal by including Martial in it. I think Martial would do pretty well in Lol Liga.
If Woody can sell Martial for 60 million I will personally call the nearest Glazer and demand he renews his contract.

They're desperate for good players lol. If he actually is good they would demand twice that amount because they need the money. Would be daft to try buying players from them.

^ Yup and Varane has refused to commit to RM. Flo has already hinted that Varane is one of the players that wants to leave.

I don't think the final will be moved from Turkey, I just think there will be barely any City (lol) or Chelsea fans there.
Edit: nope, this is pretty bad :lol

By LabouredPatriot Go To PostI don't think the final will be moved from Turkey, I just think there will be barely any City (lol) or Chelsea fans there.The obvious solution is they should only be allowed to play with their loan players overseas. Vitesse vs. Melbourne would be a suitable summation of the disease these two clubs have inflicted on world football
