la-liga

[icy crypt]

And there are some reports saying Madrid is Haaland's preferred destination

[timber yarrow]

benz running it back

[icy crypt]

Yeah I'd see that happening

[timber yarrow]

mino raiola is such a cockblocker ffs

[icy crypt]

I would however take a risk and sell Benzema now for Haaland if that was the only option to get him

If Benzema was fine with it

[bitter hemlock]

but raiola said he wants a club where he can be the main man, which is confusing, but anyways

I want barca to sign antony if we can't get haaland

[icy crypt]

Raiola would be fine with selling Haaland to us

[bitter hemlock]

k

[icy crypt]

And again some reports are saying that we're the preferred destination for him

And he must know that Mbappe is a lock for the summer

So who knows tbh

But if there's one club that can take both it's us.

[timber yarrow]

perez might really assemble the most valuable trio itw for 120m

haaland at 75 mbappe free and vini at 45

[icy crypt]

You already have Fati Ferran Dembele Depay etc

[icy crypt]

Tbf there would be A LOT of extra fees

[timber yarrow]

ik

[icy crypt]

For Mbappe and Haaland

[timber yarrow]

i read that raiola wants 25m for himself and 25m for haalands father

[icy crypt]

Yeah

[bitter hemlock]

Barca should sign (when they get rid of the dead wood and finish in top 4): Antony, Jose Gaya, some good cb like de ligt or someone cheaper, Noussair Mazraoui and a new gk

but they can't afford

[icy crypt]

De Ligt would be quite expensive

Although I think you could afford him

[timber yarrow]

isnt barca getting azpi and ac from cfc

[bitter hemlock]

Damn, barca won't sign

[bitter hemlock]

juve want 60-80 mill

[icy crypt]

Christensen is crap

[timber yarrow]

their economy is in shambles

[timber yarrow]

i thought he was alright at chelsea

[icy crypt]

He's not great

Anymore at least

[timber yarrow]

oh

[bitter hemlock]

Chelsea have been shit ever since Rangnick arrived

idk y

[timber yarrow]

still cant believe juve let go of cancelo like that

[icy crypt]

Also, we've forgotten. There's still a potentiality of us getting Pogba too.

For free

[timber yarrow]

oh yeah i forgot

[icy crypt]

Although I don't know how much the board likes him

[timber yarrow]

i dont really want him tho

[knotty yacht]

Rangnick effect already showing🔥

[icy crypt]

And we don't really need him with Fede and Cama

[timber yarrow]

chelsea has been wrecked by injuries tho

[icy crypt]

I can't say no to Pogba man

But it would be a big risk

[timber yarrow]

rangnick trying to press with a team that cant press

i mean our current midfield is fine

[icy crypt]

Yeah ik

Modric extending too

So I don't think it will happen

[timber yarrow]

and we're set for the future too

[icy crypt]

But where would he go?

PSG?

[timber yarrow]

with fede and cama

everyones saying psg or rm

[bitter hemlock]

Realneed a midfield revamp in 1-2 seasons

[timber yarrow]

man i have such mixed feelings about perez

[bitter hemlock]

and a new rb soon

[icy crypt]

We have Fede and Camavinga

Casemiro can do a couple more years I'm sure

[bitter hemlock]

and what abt back-ups?

[icy crypt]

Blanco, Arribas

[knotty yacht]

Pogba will go to juve imo

[bitter hemlock]

and camavinga is a cdm

[knotty yacht]

Or psg

[timber yarrow]

we have to sign a backup cdm

[knotty yacht]

One of the two

[timber yarrow]

casemiro is playing way too much

[bitter hemlock]

watch madrid sell them

[icy crypt]

We still have Reinier on the books

[timber yarrow]

he's getting tired af

[icy crypt]

I think they both extended

[timber yarrow]

arribas has been playing well iirc

[knotty yacht]

We need a good creative midfielder like modric

[bitter hemlock]

ye

[icy crypt]

Which is why I wouldn't say no to Pogba

[knotty yacht]

I would

His wages

Are insane

[icy crypt]

Although Camavinga could transition to that role

[timber yarrow]

my boy dest man 😔

[knotty yacht]

He isn’t even young

Injury prone

[timber yarrow]

modric is one in a million bro

[icy crypt]

Yeah was gonna say a RB is kinda needed

[knotty yacht]

Similar player im saying

[icy crypt]

I'm not too convinced on Carvajal since he's come back

And Vasquez hasn't been as good in RB as he was last season

[bitter hemlock]

I'm talking abt rma, not barca

[timber yarrow]

oh mb

[bitter hemlock]

Barca wll sell dest anyways

[icy crypt]

This is all true, but if it ends up working out, the results could be insane

[karmic jungle]

Borja Iglesias renews his contract with Real Betis

Real Betis has announced this Monday, through a video starring the presenter and ‘influencer’ Ibai Llanos and Borja Iglesias himself, the renewal for two more seasons of the Galician striker, whose contract initially ended on June 30, 2024 and now It extends until 2026. In this way, the Verdiblanco club, apart from ensuring the continuity for two more years of its top scorer of the year 2021, manages to extend the salary limit, since the amortization of its transfer is extended two more years and the amounts are diluted in accounting.

Borja Iglesias arrived at Real Betis in the summer of 2019 from RCD Espanyol, in exchange for the 28 million euros of his termination clause. In the Verdiblanco club he has played a total of 91 games, scoring 23 goals and giving 6 assists. Of those 23 goals, 19 have been achieved in this year 2021, since from the summer of 2019 until the end of 2020 he could only score four goals with the Betica elastic.

The renewal of Borja Iglesias is the third that Real Betis has announced in recent weeks, since first it was that of Sergio Canales until 2026 and a few days ago that of coach Manuel Pellegrini until 2025. They are also in negotiations to renew their contracts Nabil Fekir, Claudio Bravo and Rodri.

[icy crypt]

Bale will leave this summer which will free some wages

[knotty yacht]

I prefer not high risking than we are stuck with a player with insane wages doing nothing

[icy crypt]

Hopefully someone buys Hazard

[icy crypt]

Yeah would be a big risk

[fast citrus]

idk what halaand or mbappe's salary is, but can you guys fit them under the wage bill?

[icy crypt]

Marcelo leaving this summer too right? Or does he have 1 more season in his contract

[knotty yacht]

He’s leaving

[timber yarrow]

id keep marcelo just till we get two more trophies

[icy crypt]

Should be fine since we're freeing up a lot of wages

[fast citrus]

I'm just so used to hearing about us having problems with the wage bill that I feel like that is more of a blocking point for teams

[timber yarrow]

cause then i think he becomes rm's winningest player

[icy crypt]

Nah, there's no use.

[fast citrus]

rather than the actual signing fee

[icy crypt]

He never plays

[timber yarrow]

ik he's deadweight

knowing perez he'll let him go

[fast citrus]

Marcelo could win 2 more this season

[icy crypt]

Even when he does, there's not much he offers anymore

[timber yarrow]

plus our lb situation is fine

[icy crypt]

Hope he gets a great send off though

[timber yarrow]

facts

that man was top 1 lb itw in his prime

[icy crypt]

We haven't had a legend retire at Madrid for a while

[bitter hemlock]

https://onefootball.com/en/news/barcelona-reach-personal-agreement-with-morata-depay-could-be-involved-in-a-swap-34315060

[timber yarrow]

😔

[bitter hemlock]

Morata the snake

[icy crypt]

And we all know Casillas' farewell didn't go well...

[timber yarrow]

that's kinda why i have mixed feelings about perez

[fast citrus]

idk how depass is our top scorer

we're really shit

[timber yarrow]

club legends get shoved out

[icy crypt]

Who else could it be

Fati is injured

[timber yarrow]

but he builds really good teams

[icy crypt]

And everyone else is shit

[fast citrus]

true, didn't think about that

[bitter hemlock]

EY, how can Morata be such a snake?

[timber yarrow]

realistcally who do we sell next year

[icy crypt]

It's a tough ordeal, but it's proven to work

[knotty yacht]

Nah fuck morata

[fast citrus]

it's just that depay is so frustrating to watch

a ball hogger that's cheeks

[timber yarrow]

ik it's a business

[knotty yacht]

Stopped us from reaching a ucl final

[fast citrus]

ngl idk how morata is landing into all these teams

[timber yarrow]

id sell either asensio or rodrygo IF we get mbappe and haaland

[fast citrus]

I need to know who his agent is

[icy crypt]

We need to sell Jovic

[fast citrus]

same with Choupo mouting

[icy crypt]

I'll keep Asensio idec

[fast citrus]

his agent mus be on crack

[timber yarrow]

juanma lopez

[icy crypt]

Jovic and Hazard need to get sold ASAP

[timber yarrow]

feels bad for rodrygo

[knotty yacht]

I changed my mind on asensio this season

[timber yarrow]

facts they're deadweight man

[fast citrus]

newcastle has entered the chat

[timber yarrow]

hazard such a flop

[icy crypt]

They're looking at Dembele too

[timber yarrow]

i thought west ham was looking at hazard as well

[icy crypt]

Praying Newcastle don't get relegated lmaoo

[icy crypt]

No way they can afford his wages

[timber yarrow]

they're gonna bounce right back up

[fast citrus]

newcastle may be our only chance to cash in on him

[timber yarrow]

yea that's what i thought when i saw the tweet but it was a while back

[icy crypt]

Looks like we're competing for the Saudi's chequebook lmaoooo

Unless they buy both

But doubt that

[timber yarrow]

if we sell hazard and jovic do we keep rodrygo and asensio

id say we sell one of them at least

[bitter hemlock]

@timber yarrow

[icy crypt]

We can't sell all of them

[bitter hemlock]

https://onefootball.com/en/news/sergino-dest-wants-to-stay-at-barcelona-despite-interest-from-bayern-munich-and-chelsea-34314941

[icy crypt]

Keep Rodrygo and Asensio imo

[timber yarrow]

what do they bring to the team tho?

[icy crypt]

Cause Rodrygo can play on the left too

[icy crypt]

Good backup options

They're not complete deadweight like Jovic and Hazard

[bitter hemlock]

i can't believe dest would choose barca over bayern and chelsea

[icy crypt]

They're still decent

[timber yarrow]

i guess you can never have too much depth 🤷

[icy crypt]

With our track record of injuries recently, we need that depth.

[timber yarrow]

mariano gotta go man

[icy crypt]

If Mbappe becomes the next injured flop I'm gonna go MENTAL

[timber yarrow]

injuries + covid is really going to determine the winners this year

[icy crypt]

I could deal with Hazard

But I've invested too much into Mbappe

[timber yarrow]

id actually lose it if mbappe pulls a hazard

i literally told my brother yesterday that's he's going to break klose's WC record

[icy crypt]

I'd honestly take a hiatus from football

[timber yarrow]

id try but i dont think i can

[icy crypt]

I mean I wouldn't obviously

But I'd be so upset

[timber yarrow]

its when a bunch of people in the US said theyd stop watching the nfl but actually kept watching

i dont think he will tho 🤞

[icy crypt]

After what happened?

[timber yarrow]

the whole kneeling thing

[icy crypt]

Ohh

Tbf that was in football too

[timber yarrow]

yea

[icy crypt]

Was at the Chelsea game yesterday and heard some boos for the knee

[timber yarrow]

it's like that

[icy crypt]

Was really disappointed with that tbh

[timber yarrow]

yea it's really gotten mixed messages

anyway i gtg

see ya

[icy crypt]

cya

[fast citrus]

saying this might be bad mojo man

mbappe though has proved for a long time that he's fit enough to not do that

although I can't say for certain

dembooty was never too injury prone at dortmund or his starting club

reims?

[icy crypt]

Hazard was the exact same

[slender olive]

Don’t sign Mbappe imo

Sign me

I’m better

[icy crypt]

Deal

[slender olive]

But after a few seasons I’ll go to Barcelona

[icy crypt]

Communicado official

[slender olive]

Is that ok

[icy crypt]

Hmmm

Maybe you'll have a pigs head thrown at you

Like Figo

[cyan knot]

Someone tell me this is fake?!??!

[fast citrus]

probably fake? idk though cause I'm not a madrid fan

[cyan knot]

NEITHER AM I

[fast citrus]

but it seems like everywhere credible is saying that he'll join you guys

[cyan knot]

I am barca fan

I am so happy rn

[grim thicket]

its not even cut in well together

ofc its fake

[cyan knot]

Ah ffs

[fast citrus]

most french players rn are facing some kind of trouble

is it just me or is everyone noticing this stuff?

injury, legal trouble, or just fell off

only exceptions rn are like benzema and mbappe

[compact siren]

Dembele is idiot... Came to Barcelona for a lot of money, but now he wants to leave for free. Barcelona will lose 145 million.

[lucid meadow]

rennes

[grave glen]

Thats not how it works

But yeah he is dumb

[chrome slate]

He actually wants to stay, but that cotton candy is asking too much $$$

[grave glen]

But he is married so he is happily dumb

[slender olive]

I would have sold dembele at the end of the 19/20 season

he’s useless

no attitude to go along with the talent

[chrome slate]

but who was willing to buy that injury prone player?

[slender olive]

United apparently

[compact siren]

I don't understand how he can imagine him earning almost the same salary as Ronaldo.

[chrome slate]

that's the new gen players for you

[compact siren]

Almost.. But Dembele was paid $145 million, so he really shouldn't be free, at least not yet.

[compact siren]

Okay?

[chrome slate]

[wide sequoia]

Sort of true mbappe wont be changing clubs until end of this season but he prolly will go to RMadrid afterwards if alls well

[grave glen]

He was asked about tottenham

Someone edited it to real madrid

[compact siren]

Tom Holland asked Mbappé join Tottenham

But even if Tottenham had Mbappé, Kane and Son they wouldn't even win the FA Cup :D

[timber yarrow]

bro what 💀

[shadow juniper]

[bleak swallow]

Does it matter?

[limpid quest]

Unpopular Opinion: Neymar is a Barca legend

[timber yarrow]

define legend 🤔

[rapid topaz]

How is that unpopular?

He is a barca legend

[slate kayak]

how is he a barca legend

that's a pretty low bar for legendary status at a club like barca

[grim thicket]

its barca after all, anything that moves is a legend

mf used barca as a stepping stone for his career, and he's a legend

[slate kayak]

a couple good seasons and you're putting him up there with xavi iniesta puyol and others?

[grim thicket]

lmao

[slate kayak]

that's like saying beckham is a real madrid legend

[fast citrus]

neymar fell off hard

[slate kayak]

brazilian tax tbh

[fast citrus]

his injuries now make him finished

[slate kayak]

its party time

the second you hit 30

[fast citrus]

damn.... vini next?

brazilian party tax gonna hit him hard

[bleak swallow]

Nope he just reinvented himself you have to watch him to see

[slate kayak]

reinvented himself as a snot nosed bad boy?

[fast citrus]

he's more of a playmaker but I don't see him that good

[slate kayak]

he's unprofessional

[fast citrus]

he was clutch against bayern but pretty much everytime else

he was average

[slate kayak]

2 wc games a year don't make him a great player

[fast citrus]

being injured a lot too doesn't help either

[slate kayak]

he didn't have the discipline to be given the keys to a club imo

[bleak swallow]

Sure bud 19/20 neymar neymar was determined and one of the best players in ucl throughout the whole competition

[fast citrus]

in that front 3, he's kinda the odd man out

like him and di maria are interchangeable

[grim thicket]

beckham was a great, but def not a legend

[slate kayak]

the only serious club they played they lost instantly

rbl? atalanta? who cares

[bleak swallow]

Let me ask you soemthing do you realize were stuck at the round of 16 every year neymar was injured ?!

[fast citrus]

last year....

[bleak swallow]

And what happened the two years he actually fit in latter stages

[bleak swallow]

Semi finals

[slate kayak]

so he was fit twice in 5 years

after psg spent 500m on him

[fast citrus]

he was only injured in the second leg no?

[slate kayak]

is that supposed to be impressive

[fast citrus]

they still beat you guys at your own home

[slate kayak]

no1 is doubting his quality

[bleak swallow]

lol you sound like a salty bayern fan honestly

[fast citrus]

with neymar

[slate kayak]

just his behavior and professionalism

[fast citrus]

facts right here

[slate kayak]

then get your ears and eyes checked lmao

[bleak swallow]

He was fit both legs semis

[grim thicket]

why would a bayern fan be salty of neymar?

or barca?

[slate kayak]

i'm not salty about anything neymar or psg related lmao

[grim thicket]

like, why?

lmao

[bleak swallow]

Idk maybe because he sent them to the slums last year

[slate kayak]

if anything psg has stripped your club to the bone

[fast citrus]

I'm only salty about messi cause I'm a barca fan

[grim thicket]

bayern also whooped psg in the finals the previous year, and psg didnt go on to win jackshit

[fast citrus]

no one else really deserves a care there

[slate kayak]

and that will remain the greatest achievement of his psg career

[grim thicket]

so i dont see any reason

[slate kayak]

imagine how pathetic that is

defeating bayern on away goals

[grim thicket]

classic small club mentality

[fast citrus]

I don't ever wanna see PSG win a UCL title

[slate kayak]

who were missing 3 key palyers

[bleak swallow]

Lmaoo beating you in a semis greater than him going to the final

[slate kayak]

yes

[fast citrus]

I'd rather man city the other oil club win one

[bleak swallow]

Like i said salty bayern fan

[slate kayak]

vs atalanta. rbl. bvb

yes

[grim thicket]

id rather have newcastle win

[bleak swallow]

[slate kayak]

you would know all about salt wouldn't you

[bleak swallow]

Mate talk about salty

[fast citrus]

bruh psg have crumbled against any good team

united, bayern, city

[bleak swallow]

None of those teams would be in their positions if they didn’t play for it kid

[slate kayak]

calls people kid and salty

[bleak swallow]

We sent united to europa dkm

[slate kayak]

doesn't see the irony

we

lmao

[bleak swallow]

This guy

[slate kayak]

your plastic is killing dolphins

as we speak

[fast citrus]

not in 2018-2019

they cameback

[grim thicket]

i think monk is even older than me, and this guy just called him a kid lmao

[slate kayak]

very likely to be true

[bleak swallow]

That wasnt the last time we played them now was it

[slate kayak]

but that's not relevant

[fast citrus]

then bayern and city then

[bleak swallow]

Last time we played bayern we beat them

[fast citrus]

any time you go up against the real test for that year, you guys haven't passed it

[fast citrus]

if we had lewy we would've crushed you guys

[slate kayak]

your name is culer and you say "we" beat bayern

explain

[fast citrus]

we had like 27 shots on target that first match

[bleak swallow]

We beat city first round they beat ys second

[slate kayak]

are you a culer or a psg bootlicker

[fast citrus]

lewy would've smashed 10 of those in

[bleak swallow]

If you can read culer you can read the rest

[slate kayak]

doesnt matter tbh, bayern did lose

[fast citrus]

they beat you guys in both matches

[bleak swallow]

You seem smart

[slate kayak]

all i see is "plastic | plastic | plastic | plastic"

[fast citrus]

against any good team with most of their starting 11 you guys haven't passed it

[bleak swallow]

Sure bud

[slate kayak]

"bud"

i aint your bud

i want nothing to do with your kind

[fast citrus]

name 1 team you guys beat where they weren't hampered by injuries

[grim thicket]

nothing wrong with supporting multiple clubs, but the stances you are taking are just

[fast citrus]

1 good team

[bleak swallow]

Idc what you are

[bleak swallow]

United

City

Dortmund

Barcelona

Leipzig

[fast citrus]

barcelona were shit by that time

leipzig are like 11th in the bundesliga this season

[bleak swallow]

Im answering your question

None were hampered by injury

[grim thicket]

wait wait you a barca fan and you're counting beating barca?

thats rich of you

[fast citrus]

I did clarify that it was for good teams only

[bleak swallow]

He asked a question I answered it’s factual

[fast citrus]

we're a big club, but we aren't good lmao

not right now

[slate kayak]

he isn't he's a messi sexual

[fast citrus]

that's like saying beating arsenal right now counts

[slate kayak]

all the symptoms are there

[fast citrus]

they're a big club, but they suck rn

[bleak swallow]

The fact you think i support psg for messi lmao

[grim thicket]

nah they'renot a big club anymore

[slate kayak]

if you support psg for any other reason you're even worse than i thought possible

[fast citrus]

I'm forever grateful for what messi did for my club

[slate kayak]

atleast messi is a valid excuse

[fast citrus]

but I don't wanna see psg suceed cause he went there

[slate kayak]

imagine supporting psg otherwise

[fast citrus]

always hated them before and after messi

[fast citrus]

delusional lmao

[grim thicket]

always hated and will hate psg

[pale geode]

PSG used to be likable before the Mbappe saga

[fast citrus]

every RM fan's reasoning:

[pale geode]

I mean what was there to hate

[fast citrus]

for barca, it's cause of neymar

mostly

[grim thicket]

when they had beckham and zlatan yeah, they were retirement fc, altho zlatan is never gonna retire lmao

[bleak swallow]

Messi hasnt done shit for the club and has barely been here 6 months with or without messi im a psg fan this stero type everyone supports psg because of Messi is so dumb

[fast citrus]

true, they were never a big club before then

[slate kayak]

psg is currently more entertaining off the pitch than on it

[slate kayak]

why do you support psg then

i can't think of an earthly reason why you would support a band of mercenaries over an actual football club

[pale geode]

Not over an actual club

But from a neutral perspective

[fast citrus]

it's honestly so rare to see PSG and Barca fans unless they're messi bandwagons

[pale geode]

PSG weren’t terrible

[bleak swallow]

The two players that caused me to support psg are pastore and ney not messi.

[pale geode]

And didn’t psg only steal Neymar because Barca tried to steal veratti

[slate kayak]

tbh they got screwed over in the "remontada"

[bleak swallow]

Pretty much

[pale geode]

Yeah psg wasn’t wrong for getting Neymar

The only issue with them is the Mbappe saga

[fast citrus]

if only we had a better president

[bleak swallow]

and also the idea of neymar leaving for money is also stupid

Ney left to try to do things on his own

The team didn’t natter

[fast citrus]

barto fucked us over with how he spent that money

dumbass

[bleak swallow]

If city or united had offer him to lead a project he wouldve still left

[fast citrus]

and now we're shit

[pale geode]

Which of barto signings were actually bad at the time

[fast citrus]

dembele for sure

he was good

but he had 1 year on his contract left

and we shelled out 115m for him

[pale geode]

Wasn’t dembele considered better than Mbappe at the time

[fast citrus]

who tf pays that amount for someone with 1 year left on their contract

[pale geode]

Or atleast it was a genuine debate

[fast citrus]

yeah, but still 1 year left

I don't see Perez doing that

[grim thicket]

altho maybe we got psg to thank a bit for vini's redemption this season, if we got mbappe this summer, maybe vini wouldnt have this much of a chance to shine

[fast citrus]

almost no sensible club pays that amount for someone in their last year

[pale geode]

Perez literally offered 200m for Mbappe with 1 year on his contract lol

[fast citrus]

cause he knows psg ain't gonna accept

you think he'd actually pay that?

[bleak swallow]

Tbf we dont need the funds

[pale geode]

I mean yeah

[fast citrus]

no way, considering you guys want halaand too

[bleak swallow]

and they still believe they can convince him

[pale geode]

If psg said deal he wouldn’t have been like “nah never mind”

[fast citrus]

paying that 200m would almost certainly rule you guys out of that race

[pale geode]

Well psg rejecting is what put us in that race in the first place

[bleak swallow]

Also if it wasnt so late in the market and we could get a proper replacement

Yall wouldve most likely got the deal done

[pale geode]

Who was available even if they did the deal early

[fast citrus]

ronaldo

it might've happened

[bleak swallow]

With the right money

[pale geode]

Ronaldo was like 10 mil

[bleak swallow]

Alot

[fast citrus]

they didn't sign messi until close to the window's end

[pale geode]

Pretty sure they could’ve got him anyway

[fast citrus]

they could've easily gotten ronaldo

then grab messi

first time seeing the 2 goats play

[pale geode]

Yeah but they cost a combined 10 mil

[bleak swallow]

Ronaldo and messi wouldnt work together

🤣

[pale geode]

That’s a terrible narrative lol

They’re perfect for each other

[fast citrus]

messi with the creation

ronaldo with the finish

boom

[bleak swallow]

they both gonna sit and eat popcorn while the other team attack and ronaldo aint doing anything outside the box

Would be the worse duo

[fast citrus]

mbappe doesn't defend much either tbf

[pale geode]

Defensively sure

But offensively they’ll do amazing

But there’s lots of duos who would be bad defensively

[bleak swallow]

No ronaldo doesnt have the link up play he used to have

without that you cant work well with messi

[pale geode]

Why?

[fast citrus]

they can adapt though

[pale geode]

Link up play isn’t something that goes away with age right?

It’s just about IQ

[bleak swallow]

Only way i see them working is messi just constantly feeding him passes

No link up just messi pass ronaldo goal

[fast citrus]

I mean he would be their target man

I'm sure messi would be able to do it

[pale geode]

Did Messi and/or Ronaldo defend in their prime?

[bleak swallow]

Not really how psg play though but i guess you never know

[fast citrus]

at least he'd be able to make a competent pass

[bleak swallow]

Yes both did

[fast citrus]

united can't even do that

[pale geode]

Yeah it’s understandable they don’t have the legs for it

[fast citrus]

probably why Ronaldo hasn't done too well rn

[bleak swallow]

Messi under pep was a pressing machine

[pale geode]

Messi and Ronaldo were pr signings tbh

Both teams needed midfield help

[fast citrus]

yeah they pretty much rn

[pale geode]

But both were cheap idk why they couldn’t have gotten a good midfielder

[fast citrus]

even if they're 40 teams would still sign them

[bleak swallow]

Bro ive been waiting for us to sign a midfielder

But leonardo

[fast citrus]

they generate enough money to earn all of it back

and tons more

[pale geode]

Messi was free

Why didn’t they get a midfielder

Ronaldo was 10 mil but same idea

[fast citrus]

they got gini instead

[pale geode]

I meant a DM

[fast citrus]

but gini hasn't played much

[bleak swallow]

Almost January and poch still has a job

[pale geode]

CM veratti is fine

Same with pogba and Bruno

[fast citrus]

oh, yeah united and psg in similar positions with DM rn I guess

[bleak swallow]

Iswtg if poch managing vs Madrid I'm not watching

[pale geode]

Both teams badly need a holding midfielder

[fast citrus]

fred out there playing cdm is terrorism

[pale geode]

Camavinga would start for both teams right

[bleak swallow]

Yes

[fast citrus]

probably cause they don't have anyone there

[pale geode]

Yeah but I think he only wanted Madrid

[bleak swallow]

Bar verrati we have no midfield

[fast citrus]

not probably he'd 100% start

[bleak swallow]

We could've got him

[pale geode]

Veratti and Gini is fine

[bleak swallow]

We delayed

[pale geode]

But they need someone behind them

[bleak swallow]

Rennes offered him to us first

[pale geode]

Well Rennes might but he needs to agree as well

[fast citrus]

idk why but la masia always produces out tons of midfielders

so we're stacked there

we need attackers and defenders

[pale geode]

Tchouameni wouldve been great too

[bleak swallow]

I hope we get him

[fast citrus]

where is he at rn?

[pale geode]

Maybe even overpay for someone like gravenberch

[fast citrus]

monaco still?

[pale geode]

Monaco

Yeah

[bleak swallow]

seko fofana is better though

[fast citrus]

ah is he leaving this summer?

[pale geode]

Maybe idk

[bleak swallow]

Seko is a monster middle

[bleak swallow]

Definitely

[pale geode]

I want to know where Haaland is going

I hear madrid a lot but seems too good to be true

[bleak swallow]

He won't decide till the end of the season

How teams looking in the summer will play a major role in his choice imo

[pale geode]

It’s basically Madrid or city right

[bleak swallow]

Nope

[pale geode]

Who else is in the race?

[bleak swallow]

bar Chelsea and Bayern every other big team have a chance if they can convince him

Raiola pretty much said every big club name

[pale geode]

Madrid would be the most fun to watch prolly

City would be great too but idk if he fits pep system

[bleak swallow]

Felix fits pep more

[pale geode]

I remember reading that Félix doesn’t defend

Plus he’ll be very expensive

[bleak swallow]

He defends

[pale geode]

Fbref has him in the 7th percentile in pressures at his position group

[slate kayak]

Felix is a lazy forward like pr7

But hasn't earned his stripes

I'm going to watch a football match at the stadium today

Yeah it is weird a match in new year eve

[half iris]

Oh nice, which team?

[brittle geode]

Valencia

[half iris]

Against who tho

[brittle geode]

Espanyol

[half iris]

Buena suerte

[brittle geode]

Gracias. Thank you.

[half iris]

¿Eres de Valencia, no?

[stoic jacinth]

Umm

[pliant frost]

Not in my books

[bitter hemlock]

nope,

if he stayed longer, then he would've been one

but he only stayed for 3 seasons

[fading ember]

4 actually

He isn’t a legend because of the way he left

[bitter hemlock]

oh yeah

[bitter hemlock]

mhm

[fading ember]

As a player tho he was great

But left in a bad way

[bitter hemlock]

and anyway, it seems like every good barca player who is rumoured to leave is linked with psg

[prisma swift]

@fading ember would you consider bale a RM legend

i do IMO

[fading ember]

I am not a Madrid fan so what I think doesn’t really matter in that regard

But yeah he is, other than that wales golf madrid thing

He contributed a lot to Madrid in the first 6 years

[prisma swift]

yeah

he can still do

he only does when he wants tho

[fading ember]

He can
But he won’t stay beyond this season

That’s pretty much confirmed

[prisma swift]

his contract expires this season lol

[fading ember]

Yeah

[prisma swift]

and its 100% sure he won't renew

[fading ember]

Wonder where he will go
Probably some English club like West Ham

Or maybe mls

Or Qatar

[half iris]

Bale is firmly a Real legend

SIUUUUUUUU

[worldly beacon]

[compact siren]

Does anyone have any information on the status of Vini's new contract?

[dusky stream]

Well on a strictly sporting level he is absolutely a Barca Legend. Over a 100 goals had one of the best UCL individual campaigns taking Messi out of the equation.

[fading ember]

Yeah on a sporting level he is

But when you factor in his departure he isn’t

[half iris]

Yes Useless

[half iris]

By that logic Keane is nothing

[fading ember]

Keane who

Roy?

[half iris]

Mhm

[lucid meadow]

departure doesn’t really hold that much of an importance. laudrup is a legend at barçelona despite him joining madrid right after

[half iris]

That’s a lil different

Keane and Bale might have left the way they did but it was never to their club’s biggest rival

Even Schmeichel left for City and he’s still a Utd legend tho tbf

[fading ember]

Neymar left in a way similar to figo

But just not to real so he isn’t that bad

[fading ember]

Na he isn’t he is a snake

[fading ember]

tbf city were irrelevant back then

It’s not like today

[chrome slate]

We had Brazilian players in our team as well. He would have felt like it's home & family

[prisma swift]

figo forced a move to RM

that is unexcusable

R9 played for barca and RM but we don't talk about that

[chrome slate]

Many people don't know Luis Enrique played for Real Madrid as well

[fading ember]

Yeah

[fading ember]

Because his scenarios were different

[prisma swift]

yeah

[chrome slate]

Figo was forced to play for RMA as well, because of his deal with Perez

[grave glen]

[chrome slate]

Wow, only Sevilla left

[fading ember]

Valencia and Bilbao are bigger clubs than sevilla tbh

But yeah sevilla rn are better

[chrome slate]

Meanwhile Sevilla with League Cups and UELs: Bruh

[fading ember]

Sevilla just have 1 la liga that too was in the 1930’s iirc

[chrome slate]

Yeah but they have a good track record

They are consistent and win trophies on a regular basis

Not like Barca or RMA, but they do

[fading ember]

Only europa leagues tbh

[chrome slate]

Not an easy feat 👀

[fading ember]

Rest is meh in comparison to Valencia and Bilbao

[fading ember]

Ofc not

[chrome slate]

Arsenal with that big budget fail to win UEL lol

And they took La Liga away from us and handed it to ATM

[fading ember]

Biggest clubs in Spain imo are

1. Real Madrid
2. Barcelona
3. Atletico Madrid
4. Athletic Bilbao
5. Valencia
6. Sevilla

[chrome slate]

6th? You place them 6th just because they got relegated and Bilbao didn't?

[dusky stream]

Not in this century, Sevilla in the 21st century has been a way better club

[lucid meadow]

valencia under hector cuper is a team with place in history books

[fading ember]

I am talking overall history

Not last 20 years

[chrome slate]

Even if you considered all the past history, Sevilla are better

[fading ember]

Valencia have 6 la liga titles and 8 copa del reys

Bilbao has 8 la liga titles and 23 copa del reys+never got relegated

[chrome slate]

Lobby has affected you Scourge

[fading ember]

Sevilla has 1 la liga and 5 copa del rey

Na
la liga titles are obviously bigger than UEL

[chrome slate]

Okay, you need to go see a doctor

You're just ignoring those UEL titles

All those runners up finishes

All those League Cups

[ember ruin]

Benfica sure knows how it feels

[fading ember]

They are lol

Winning La Liga is more prestigious than europa league

[ember ruin]

back to back losses in the UEL finals in 2013 and 2014 😭

[chrome slate]

Tf what? What's next? La Liga > UCL?

[fading ember]

No

UCL>La Liga>UEL

UEL is literally a competition for 5th-7th teams

[chrome slate]

I feel you bro

[chrome slate]

Meanwhile teams that crash out of UCL.... Bruh ffs

[fading ember]

I thought you would win in 2014 but F

[fading ember]

They are also not that great mostly

Barring atleti 2018 and Chelsea 2013

They kind of bottled their groups

You will prefer to win a europa league or la liga?

Interesting choice ig

[chrome slate]

So Dortmund aren't great? Napoli aren't great? Rangers aren't great?

5th - 7th place teams...you kidding Scourge?

[fading ember]

They are good
But not great

[chrome slate]

Let me see....you'll say UEL > La Liga when Barca wins it

[fading ember]

No

Never lol

[fading ember]

Napoli are good yes
BvB have a washed defence

Barcelona are finished

Rangers aren’t that good it’s true

[chrome slate]

When you're playing for a top 4 team, and know you will crash out of UCL, obviously you'll focus on UEL and then the league

[chrome slate]

Them with 114 titles....bud

116*

[fading ember]

Scottish league

They are a big club tho still

But they aren’t that good currently

They will be like lower mid table in la liga and Bundesliga rn
Probably fighting for relegation in the prem

[chrome slate]

Just like Barca

[fading ember]

[chrome slate]

I can't believe you prefer league cups over European Glory, Scourge

[fading ember]

I prefer league titles unless then European glory is UCL

Not copa del rey and Fa cups tho

[chrome slate]

Meanwhile Bilbao with Copa Del Reys.....

[fading ember]

UCL>La Liga>UEL>Copa Del rey

[fading ember]

Yeah they have 23

[fading ember]

This is my trophy preference

idc about super cups much so idk where to rank them

[chrome slate]

Lobby changed you

[grim thicket]

scourge is a real madrid fan

[chrome slate]

[fading ember]

[chrome slate]

Wait did he abandon his brothers?

[fading ember]

Na this actually has been my opinion since forever

[grim thicket]

he was always a real madrid fan

all mods are

[fading ember]

Yeah we all are in #real-madrid 🥶

[grim thicket]

@lime mica is the biggest of the real madrid fans

[chrome slate]

Preferring that....do you know how difficult it is to win UEL?

[fading ember]

Ofc it’s difficult to win uel
But winning la liga or any other top 5 league is harder imo

[grim thicket]

the UEL competition this season is especially more interesting

coz of dortmund, napoli, barca among others

[chrome slate]

Real, Barca and Atleti fight for La Liga and Sevilla always had to fight for either 3rd or 4th.

They got to play in UCL, but bigger and Oil clubs exists, so they have no choice but prefer UEL, where they face big clubs too

[grim thicket]

oh and sevilla ofc

the kings of the europa

[fading ember]

Sevilla are winning europa

Dortmund maybe runner ups

Barcelona I can see getting knocked out by napoli tbh

[worldly beacon]

W

[chrome slate]

That's the only title they can fight for, other than League Cups

[fading ember]

That’s a prediction
Not something I want to happen

[chrome slate]

And they have beaten big teams in Europa too

So that says a lot

[grim thicket]

i have a notion they are gonna reach atleti heights atleast within the next years if they continue on this trajectory

[fading ember]

Is monchi still at sevilla

Or he ditched them again for some club like roma

[chrome slate]

I would like to see that, but I don't want them to snatch La Liga away from us and give it to someone else

[lime mica]

are you slandering me

[grim thicket]

yes

[fading ember]

Good for them

[grim thicket]

no you are the biggest real madrid fan

They are not even that without bordalas

Michel 😭🙏

[grim thicket]

its QSF now isnt it?

[torn ermine]

cadiz clear 😤

[fading ember]

Yeah

But under Michel they lost 7/8 games

[grim thicket]

lmao yeah

[fading ember]

And the one which they didn’t loose was a draw

[grim thicket]

that was amazing to watch

[fading ember]

Ofc

[opal sigil]

Hold dat valencia

[fading ember]

I hated getafe under bordalas

Michel is another example of great player but terrible coach

[plain elbow]

Lies ppl. Getafe can actually fill up their ground.

[amber garden]

unlike barca

it's so sad bruh

[ember ruin]

well tbf Barca have a stadium capacity of 99,000

so it's hard to fill it up

[amber garden]

I heard they're renovating it again

Aee they adding more seats

Something

What was it called

Espai barca?

[torn ermine]

its still a project tho

we dont know when it will begin

Depay's dribbling numbers have dropped off significantly, so has his xA from last season. Xavi has played him like a traditional 9 and not as a false 9, dropping deep and focusing more on link up play. Another issue on top of not being a good scorer is that he doesn't press much either.
https://twitter.com/Irish_Barca/status/1477288169456513040?s=20

Irish_Barca (@Irish_Barca)

Depay has been played as a traditional CF this season and it's clear that he needs a change of role. His creative and carrying numbers are good, but he needs more license to drop deep. He isn't a prolific scorer and needs to have a more free role in attack. He is a SS/LW not a 9.

[shadow juniper]

irish barca

[bleak swallow]

He sucks on the wing

And giving him a messi role takes away from xavi system

I didn't say we should play him on the wing

Just give him more freedom to drop deep while the wingers keep width

this game legit gave me espanyol flashbacks

remember that one?

we were absolute shit, that was an early kickoff too

[thin ivy]

was that last ssn?

nope this szn

last season espanyol were in segunda lol

fucking RDT scored against us

Getafe are dirty ngl

They should’ve got more yellows

[still pagoda]

LOL we had lost two games in a row then

to trapasol and espanyol

[grim thicket]

mhm

[still pagoda]

militao gave getafe 3 charity points today

they scored of an error and parked the bus

there are certain players who can unlock a terrorist defense but sadly all absent today

this is basic real madrid stuff. lose to smaller clubs but beat teams like liverpool and inter home and away

just dont mention city

[thin ivy]

speaking of varane, he's not doing so well at united right now.

also whoever the fuck thought of trying to sign rudiger? we have NACHO

[still pagoda]

literally any team can beat us if they park the bus tbh
even psg if they wont and IF THEY DO, they have Mbappe Messi and Neymar for counter attacks and not Unnus Annus

[still pagoda]

hes kinda like partey

except hes successful

[thin ivy]

Its not ancelotti's problem. atletico and teams like espanyol getafe do this all the time. our only mistake here was militao giving that goal away.

also maybe wingers being a bit off but ehh this loss isn't too bad

[thin ivy]

united are just cursed at this point. stacked squad but still not getting the results they want

[knotty yacht]

But this happened like 4 times this season where we can’t score because of these ridiculous defensive tactics teams do against us

[thin ivy]

wow arsenal is at top 4 and united at 7th

what a shit show

[thin ivy]

they played good defensively we can't take that away from them

[torn ermine]

arsenal is getting better tbh

you can definitely see improvement

[still pagoda]

We struggle to score against terrorist teams like these but 'FCBarca_culers forever ❤️ 💙 ' told me Mbappe and Haaland cant play together and we shouldnt sign them

[thin ivy]

idk if we would actually be able to

mbappe seems 50/50 atm idk

haaland is still expensive as shit

[still pagoda]

100% signing him

[thin ivy]

and where will we put him with benzema around? 442?

outdated formation yada yada but honestly cant think of anything else

[knotty yacht]

442 is a no no

That formation is shit

[thin ivy]

well whatever fomation with two STs/CF

[still pagoda]

atleti using 442 in 2022 and it shows

no wonder they're 6th

352, 442, 4312

All are shit for madrids squad

true but gotta hand it to rayo for goating rn as well

yeah
