They could have used that moni to buy off isco 😂

cobalt stump
#

If GKs went for a lot of money he’d be worth so much lol

thin ivy
#

True knowing he judt won the euros and helped milan get a CL spot

#

They should have swapped navas and donnarumma

cobalt stump
#

I don’t watch serie a ever so I’ve never actually seen him on tv

thin ivy
#

Courtois is still bigger but yeah the guy is huge

cobalt stump
#

Just pics

#

Players I want Real to have at some point in their careers lol:
Mbappe
Kounde
Aouar
Pogba
Donnaruma
Saka
Havertz
Messi
Haaland
Mbappe’s brother

mighty fox
#

I remember doing lists like that and randomly putting Messi in the middle as a joke

thin ivy
#

Pogba is overrated

cobalt stump
#

Lol 😂

cobalt stump
thin ivy
#

Hes a lot like Lloris who only performs for France

mighty fox
#

Pogba is quite inconsistent imo

thin ivy
#

Very

mighty fox
#

Juve's 2015 Pogba is still the best I've seen

cobalt stump
#

He just doesn’t have defensive work ethic

thin ivy
#

Doesnt even start for United last ssn

#

Juve Pogba was good

#

All hype after

mighty fox
#

after Juve, I think his best shot was at WC 2018

thin ivy
#

It was

#

He declined right after

cobalt stump
#

His goal against Switzerland was beautiful still 😭😭

thin ivy
#

Same for umtiti

cobalt stump
#

Oh and Upamecano. I want him at some point

mighty fox
#

Umtiti has never been the same since WC 2018

thin ivy
#

Dembe too

#

They just suck now lol

mighty fox
#

I even forget Umtiti is playing at Barca sometimes

cobalt stump
#

Dembe 😤😤 he’s disappointing

mighty fox
#

someone that improved a lot since WC 2018 imo was Tolisso

#

nothing amazing though

I mean it would be cool

#

Galataticos 1.0

#

because the old ones were shit

thin ivy
#

Bro what

cobalt stump
mighty fox
#

Galacticos biggest problem was not winning an UCL after buying all those players

thin ivy
mighty fox
#

but it was still an amazing team to see playing

cobalt stump
#

Zidane hopefully France manager for WC22

thin ivy
#

Deschamps still look good doe

mighty fox
#

resultwise, Deschamps is decent

cobalt stump
#

There’s rumors he’ll be resigning after the euro performance Bc he doesn’t wanna tarnish his reputation if he can’t control all the egos

thin ivy
#

France team is wild

cobalt stump
#

All the egos on the French team has been his downfall. Zizou managed Real, he knows how to deal with egos

cobalt stump
thin ivy
#

I dont think we had an ego problem tho?

thin ivy
cobalt stump
thin ivy
#

He had beef with isco and bale thats all i know

cobalt stump
#

But yeah if French players would take it down a notch, they’d be as much of a finals lock as u can get

stiff fjord
#

They're good but didn't win anything major

#

for their ability

#

they were way too attacking

cobalt stump
thin ivy
#

Wow i dont know any of them except kounde

stiff fjord
#

@thin ivy did you know kounde before all the rumors?

thin ivy
#

Yeah i watch sevilla sometimes

stiff fjord
#

Anyway

#

You don't know konate?

cobalt stump
#

Diaby? Aouar? Camavinga? Konate? I can understand not knowing Dagba, Badi, Gouiri, and Edouard

stiff fjord
#

Lafont too

cobalt stump
#

Lafont used to be my go to fifa keeper signing 😂

stiff fjord
#

lmao

#

He's pretty good

#

in fifa

thin ivy
stiff fjord
#

Konate will do good at liverpool

thin ivy
#

19/20 leipzig was soo good

cobalt stump
#

Camavinga and Aouar have been all over headlines this summer

stiff fjord
#

They would have had a chance at ucl

#

With that run

thin ivy
#

Idk how they are now. Their boss just moved to bayern

stiff fjord
#

Obviously their team isn't good enough but if werner was there they would have reached finals

thin ivy
#

Could have*

stiff fjord
#

like brobbey

#

and yeah

cobalt stump
#

Im excited for the Bundesliga this season lol I’ve never gotten to watch it but now it’s gonna be on ESPN

stiff fjord
#

They let go two of their best defenders

#

They might struggle

thin ivy
#

Idk who to watch in bundes

#

Bayern, dortmund and leipzig all look good

cobalt stump
# thin ivy Idk who to watch in bundes

I don’t either. I already have Real so I don’t want to root for Bayern or BVB so imma pick a somewhat smaller club. Leaning towards Frankfurt or Gladbach rn

Gladbach was great in the CL

#

Had me scared for a while

10 of Gladbach’s goals tho were against Shaktar 😂😂😂

Meanwhile Real Madrid couldn't win against them

People really be talking about leipzig in la liga NM_WTF

cobalt stump

#

Gone are the days where Real Madrid could thrash Shakthar and other clubs for fun

They used their youth academy

That’s why they lost

I thought ur talking about rangers

That squad is good enough to thrash shakthar

Bruh asensio man

yo we always didnt do so well without ramos starting. what the fuck are we gonna do now since he left downmike_extreme bruh icri @still pagoda @grim thicket

thin ivy

#

Traore is decent

thin ivy
#

Him, vini and dembele are the fast and borderline useless squad

mighty fox
# grave glen

Cool that more than 50% of Shakhtar's team is Brazilian, lmao

stiff fjord
#

That's it

mighty fox
#

I still dont know why Real paid so much money for Vini

#

Vini had 7 goals and 4 assists before being sold to Madrid

#

for 27mi iirc

stiff fjord
#

Next neymar 🥶

cobalt stump
mighty fox
#

Rodrygo at least had pretty decent numbers in Brazil

cobalt stump
#

I think we should stop buying Brazilians. Start buying more French 🤷🏻‍♂️🇫🇷

thin ivy
mighty fox
#

yea, you haven't been having much luck with Brazilians

thin ivy
cobalt stump
thin ivy
mighty fox
#

Casemiro wasted a lot of potential in Brazil as he wasn't used to play as CDM here

thin ivy
#

i mean thats his preffered position

mighty fox
#

I messed up, sorry

thin ivy
#

lol

cobalt stump
mighty fox
#

I forgot the "wasn't" lmaoo

#

Casemiro in Brazil played more as an offensive mid

mighty fox
thin ivy
#

Casemiro can play ST better than Jovic and Mariano for us

that guy is gonna get linked to every club on earth amid his contract situation.

lucid meadow

he’s already linked to most clubs

#

he’s also linked to barça

raven shale
#

Goretzka is the next schweinsteiger

#

So he will be at bayern

how old are lacroix and caqueret

and i’m sure they have many midfielders who can start over aouar

lewanGOALski

cobalt stump
lucid meadow
#

he’s average

cobalt stump
#

4.65 shot creating actions per 90 is average?! 🤔🤔

#

90+ percentile in all these stats for his position is average? 🤔🤔

#

Man I’ll need to re-evaluate what is above average then 🤯 thought being in the 99 percentile for 14 categories is above average. My bad

lucid meadow
tender delta
#

Wanna know a fact for youth academy

lucid meadow
#

check other stats where he’s shit. 50% dribbles completed for an attacking midfielder

#

he’s running on negative xG right now

tender delta
#

When Barca use their la masia they won 3-1 4-0

#

When Real Madrid use their youth academy’s they lost 2-1

#

Barca youth be developing though

cobalt stump
lucid meadow
#

and i don’t mean average on a whole. just a worse season that his previous ones

cobalt stump
#

Yes I do agree with that he took a step back

lucid meadow
#

caqueret and guimares are more important to OL right now than him

#

it was opposite last season

lucid meadow
cobalt stump
#

But no that pic wasn’t a confirmed one is was a potential one put up by the media

lucid meadow
#

i like aouar for his versatility

#

he can play pretty much anywhere in the midfield + CF

cobalt stump
#

Yeah I’m just a big Aouar fan. I find him exciting to watch

we havent even seen our proper starting lineup play together even once, so who knows

frank robin
#

real gonna play militao and nacho at cb?

candid terrace
#

alaba?

grim thicket
#

alaba and militao makes more sense

#

with nacho as a solid backup

frank robin
#

yh

#

and mendy or marcelo at lb

grim thicket
#

altho, god knows how alaba would do....im kinda skeptical

grim thicket
candid terrace
grim thicket
#

in fact miguel if its 3cbs, not even marcelo

lucid meadow
grim thicket
#

miguel is much better than marcelo rn imo, in terms of fitness and ability

So if marcelo (cap is benched) then benzema will weae the armband most of the time?

“Universally””tactically”

he’ll push forward as a pure CAM in no time

tender delta

Wasn’t he a cam in Bayern and did wonderful?

candid terrace
#

he didnt do wonderful

tender delta
#

I think only in the humiliating lost

candid terrace
#

but he did better

lucid meadow
#

and you’ll have end up having depay, griezmann, messi ad coutinho, all 4 occupying the exactly same centre

thin ivy
lucid meadow
#

he was no good at bayern

candid terrace
#

whos 3rd and fourth

tender delta
#

Barca board expected coutinho to be iniesta replacement

candid terrace
lucid meadow
#

had a filthy game against leverkusen and barcelona, that’s pretty much it

candid terrace
lucid meadow
#

no

#

they wanted him to replace neymar

I thought dembele was ney expected replacement

Psg vs Barca 2021

candid terrace
#

ohh

grim thicket
#

the only possible starters we played against the rangers wete probably odegaard, rodrygo, and possibly LV/Nacho ig

thin ivy
#

@candid terrace Yeah nacho and carva def 3rd and 4th captains

candid terrace
#

uh huh

#

but nacho and marcelo probably wont start regularly

thin ivy

Yeah supersubss

candid terrace

#

there's a chance of real v milan in the ucl tho this season

#

so looking forward to that

thin ivy

Sameee

real probably win tho no 🧢

thin ivy

Im just hoping sefence is better this season

With milan

grim thicket

man's going to chelsea

frank robin
thin ivy
#

Bruhh chelsea

candid terrace
grim thicket
#

not confirmed but almost done

candid terrace
#

still discussing iirc

thin ivy
grim thicket
#

unless there's some drastic development kounde is going to chelsea and zouma to sevilla

lucid meadow
#

kounde needs a good defender beside him to cover his mistakes. he’s genuinely mistake prone and tends to push up high

candid terrace
grim thicket
#

like wtf are sevilla doing

#

selling all their best prospects

candid terrace
#

how much is chelsea offering

grim thicket

bryan gil for lamela like what

frank robin

and now kounde for zouma!!

thin ivy

lmao

candid terrace
#

mans gonna pull up a rabona against betis in the derby then disappear

thin ivy

I cheer for sevilla sometimes and zouma/kounde swap would be nice and fair

grim thicket
#

hope sevilla doesnt fall off, i was rlly looking forward to watching bryan gil play at sevilla, and maybe in the future, for real

candid terrace
grim thicket
#

he has got that classic cruyff look

#

like yknow what i mean?

thin ivy
#

Mhm

frank robin
#

yh

thin ivy
#

So are we selling isco or not? He played against rangers so i guess we keeping him?

grim thicket
#

i think it was a straight up swap right? like no add on money?

frank robin
#

yh

#

pretty sure

grim thicket
thin ivy
#

No clue i dont follow transfer window news. Might get jealous looking at how we arent moving.

grim thicket
#

lol

#

atleast kounde-zouma will surely have some add ons

#

no way is it a straight swap

thin ivy

bruh isco used to be damn good

Sell isco back to malaga for 10m

candid terrace
#

brah

#

malaga

grim thicket
#

that would be business lol, unfortunately malaga dont have 10m

#

they went bankrupt iirc

#

but isco would help them A LOT

#

would instantly make them promotion and maybe title contenders

thin ivy
#

Or valencia

grim thicket
#

valencia are more interested in selling their best talents rather than buying smartwenger

thin ivy
grim thicket
#

yep yep

#

wait...segunda or segunda B?

thin ivy

#

ok no they are in the segunda

thin ivy

I like valencias logo tbh.

grim thicket
#

i like villarreal more

#

thin ivy
#

Yellow submarine

#

Lol

grim thicket
#

they have a formidable squad ngl

thin ivy
#

This might be controversial but should real update their crest like what atletico did

grim thicket
#

and they got their first trophy

grim thicket
#

this is a classic

thin ivy
#

Its not the best looking crest imo

candid terrace
grim thicket
#

all our crests throughout history have been similar looking, just very subtle changes

#

and IT IS THE BEST CREST!!

I'm going to pamplona today

thin ivy

Not very eye catching but i still like it

grave glen

My hometown

grim thicket

ohh nice

grave glen
#

We arrive at the airport in bilbao

#

And see san mames

grim thicket
#

also good to see more non-madridistas and non-cules on here

grave glen

So its a win-win

thin ivy
#

Mames in mexican spanish mean "suck" what does it mean in spanish spanish?

grim thicket
#

ehhhh

candid terrace
grim thicket
#

i think its a name of a saint right?

#

san mames?

grim thicket
thin ivy
#

Oh rightt

#

Thats what the "san" is for

grim thicket
#

yep

thin ivy
#

Saint suck 😂

grim thicket
#

not sure what mames means tho lol

#

apparently it means moms

#

didnt know that

thin ivy
#

I used to watch this mexican show and theyd say "no mames" all the time is meant as like fuck off or no way

grim thicket
#

lol

#

well, mamés means moms....mames has no meaning

#

so san mamés means....saint moms?

thin ivy
#

So something like matriarch for mothers?

grim thicket
#

ig so...

#

i thought mom was madre

thin ivy
#

Same

grim thicket
#

or mama

thin ivy
#

Spanish is confusing esp with feminine and masculine words

grim thicket
#

ok so apparently mom and mother are different

thin ivy
#

Tried learning, still do and the las, los, buenas, buenos mess me up

grim thicket
#

mom is -mamá plural mamás/mamés

#

and mother is madre

thin ivy
#

Ohhhh there we go

grim thicket
#

my spanish is very weak

thin ivy
#

San mames doesnt sound as funny now

grim thicket
#

lol

grim thicket
#

and those are the basic stuff

#

i did fail spoken....but managed to pass on aggregate coz my written was okay

#

and eventually lost my zest for trying to learn spanish lol

grim thicket
#

i recently heard a podcast interview on pep, and even though as much as i dont like pep coz he was one of the greatest managers of all time for our rivals, you cant help admire his genius

#

and man's an elton john fan!!

grim thicket
candid terrace
grim thicket
#

and there was one statement that rlly struck me as genius

#

when the interviewer asked him, why do you never have a plan B

#

he said, (in respect to aguero and small strikers in general) there's no point in buying a tall huge striker or a player in any position that wont play more than like 2-3 games a season just to have a plan B against some teams....if the current tactic isnt working we can just look into that and tweak it so that it works

#

and ofc there is always a plan B

#

like for example, when you are defending a slim lead, you will go all out park the bus for the last 10 mins, thats the plan B, not some special different player

candid terrace
grim thicket
candid terrace
#

yea

#

the year he left inter won kekw

grim thicket
#

but his point was, its possible to work with nearly whats given to him

#

dont need to be specially looking for one certain type of player for just a few games

grim thicket
#

inter won a treble after he left lol

Busi looks like a weak guy

without xavi iniesta barca has nowhere near the same possession vs top teams

Is it official

grave glen

dont forget dribbling midfielders

grave glen
#

kounde is the definition of a modern defender

raven shale
#

Good defender good attacker

#

Goal vs barca were class

grave glen
#

one of his many characteristics
the advancement of the ball
whether it be the long pass or the dribble

#

hes done that plenty of times

lucid meadow
#

top 15 or top 20 will be easy for someone in this region

#

roughly 5 p90 dribbles in his prime

grave glen
# lucid meadow

these stats are fine but a players position and team role plays a big part in this

lucid meadow
#

dribbling is solely on the player

#

he’s not the same player anymore but prime hazard was a nightmare

grave glen
#

if were focusing on hazard then youre right

#

i was making a case for the players on the graph 😄

lucid meadow

neymar’s graph though

that absolutely peak season

damn ribery was matching messi

he had an exceptional peak and pre-prime seasons and fell so hard

the older generation will usually say maradona is the best and thats fine

@grave glen and good pitches, light balls, protecting forwards wasn't a thing till the 90s

#

Look at some of the tackles these dudes faced

#

Many are straight reds today

#

Sliding tackles from behind were ok I'm the 80#

#

And offside rules needed 2 defenders behind the ball

#

And European comps didn't have group stages with dinamo to statpad against

#

Which is why it's pointless to compare

#

Maradonas goal of the century ends with a red card worthy challenge

#

And while messi has faced his share of tough challenges no1 has straight tried to cripple him like Bilbao did in the 80₹

Rivellino and George best inspired diego

sorry if that wasn't clear

for me the biggest tell is your opinion of neymar

as in not yours

but how somebody rates neymar

grave glen
slate kayak
#

tells you how they see the sport and their depth of knowledge

#

ive heard all timer shouts

grave glen

i think one of the main problems with neymar is his time spent on the pitch especially if were talking in recent years

slate kayak
#

very much so

#

people bring up his talent

#

talented underachievers are dozens in football

#

neymar just has a popular instagram to go with it

#

other than a couple seasons at barca and santos

#

he hasn't lived up to his potential at all

#

then brainlets will compare him to ronaldinho

#

without having seen either play

#

nevermind comparing their achievements

raven shale
#

Money ruins neymar carerr

i think its more the atmosphere at psg than the money'

its never had a structure always driven by the stars

other than doing lots of ball tricks dinho and neymar have nothing in common

grave glen

working env

there's no discipline

you can tell by their 2nd leg behavior vs city

or when theyre losing/not scoring/not getting their way in general

even in the league you can notice it

derbies against marseille and lyon show it

yep

its a team of poorly behaved prima donnas

look at mbappes behavior now

its shockin

which is a shame because you have got some actual talent and ability in the team and players that want to work together + when they do they create results

honestly? i want psg to fail in perpetuity

all their players are dickheads

i wouldnt say all

but most defo

probably not all

but there's nobody really likable

maybe marquinhos

di maria has to be one of the most underappreciated players all round

keylor navas also

he's their most consistent and present creative outlet

without him they will struggle to win the league

thiago silva hasn't really done that much
