And all of those guys are better than verrati right?
Navas gets 15m just to sit on the bench 😭
Skriniar literally fired his last agent because he wanted him to go to real
And signed a contract without negotiating
He is staying
Players take new challenges all the time
Currently yes
I would start that midfield
Too risky, verratti should be there to lead the midfield
Alright imma do a comparison with all of those you mentioned
Min 60m. He's worth it
🎙 Skriniar: “My future is at #Inter. I have a contract and the market doesn't interest me. I want to become a club legend.”
1246
144
Doesn’t sound like he wants a new challenge
He's better than Maguire 😤
I agree but just to entertain his argument
It’s hard when he is injured half the games
What italy need most rn is stability
Having a player who is not always ready is a big risk
When he plays he shows his class
That’s not the problem
The problem is how often he plays
👏 Respect
Doesn’t come close to marco in anything but getting dribbled past and xa
Onto the next
k guys, gn it's 23:09 I have school tmr
It’s embarrassing to compare these guys to marco
Doesn’t Italy play 3 cms
marco can play in any of those roles though
He wont be a better cdm than tonali
And i doubt he could consistently handle playing cdm
His legs would fall off
And if you are arguing that tonali is a cdm shouldn’t his defensive actions and defensive stats be better than marco
A cdm main job is to destroy plays and control the flow of the game correct?
Not always
Jorginho is the starting cdm for italy
And he doesn’t do that
But the thing is when it comes to intercepting the ball verrati is one of the best there is and we already know about his technical ability only thing he is weak on is shots
I am still waiting for the barella vs veratti comparison btw
Genuinely interested to see it
Oh yeah got u
Barella the only one of the three you mention i rate highly
no idea
Just scrolled up and saw verrati compared to an am like pellegrini
A 6 like tonali

idk either
but if u say my player x< ur player y.
🤥
Man said he can play anywhere in midfield
Veratti with them weak ass glass legs
Can cover cdm somehow
His point is that verrati is kinda versatile
And I get that
More flexible than versatile tbh
No and I won't start tonali as a lone cdm either
Not the same quality but..
He is doing it right now what do you think his role is in this current PSG?
And he is doing it with those weak ass legs as you say
It's the Italian players he said that are better than marco
Buffon is Italian too that doesn't mean he should be compared to Del Piero
Crat
common crat w
Jude or veratti
You just compared a gk not even remotely the same
verratti
The comparisons that was made here too was absurd
Two absolutely different profiles whatsoever
Kimmich
To start in your project
And rodri
How else do you compare three people fighting for three positions in a midfield then honestly curious to hear your response
Depends on the outcome and process of the project
Who do you rank higher in an all-time midfielders list, Verratti or Thiago Alcantara?
For italy who are trying to rebuild and use their young core
What's the need to compare those 3 lol it's fine to let it go as it is and focus on a better outcome
Leverkusen will win the CL
holy shit w
Bro
Jude ain't Italian
@subtle plover common w
You are the stupidest person on earth
I mean if its the nt
So you agree with that take then? Pelligrini barella and tonal the three best Italian mids currently ?
but at the same time they will relegate
I would probably take an experienced player like verratti
That’s fair
No
But what i was saying is that if i am mancini
I would use a midfield of pelligrini tonali barella
It’s very balanced
verratti deserves to be there
🙏
How tf would u fit barella and pelleg together
Barella as an 8
Pellegrini as an am
Exactly that's the only point I was trying to make
Don't destroy his potential but detaining him
i wouldnt consider 26 young tbh
Italy are fine without a cam
- Bayern
- Dortmund
- Freiburg
- Union Berlin
this will be the end of the season
Pellegrini can play a bit in the qing too
26 is young for a midfielder
26
hes 27
barella is not top 5 midfielders currently
because you're biased
🤷
- pedri
There's a lot fam
Hey! Would anyone be willing to give me soccer tips.
Do you consider kdb a cm
Name me 5 who are currently better
Not really
Bilva Kimmich Kroos Modric Majer
Aint no way he just said SOCCER 😡
Fuck me I forgot prem existed
im amercian
Lovro
Who
Lol
6 games isn't a sample size ffs
Modric clear of barella as well
No shit
Could say iwobi at lm if "rn" is ur sample size
Yea thiago clear
Oh last 2??
Who tf is majer
This season and last one
So a season an 6 games
Goretzka hasn’t played either
And again
Shut up
Who tf is majer
Do you see someone or a message which breaks our rules? react with the :sos: emoji on their message to report it to us!

And the 3rd best player in your bum ass league
Man ain't even top 1/3 In the team
Would be top 3 in your league
And we have 1 wc player lol
Cry somewhere else
🤥
I am not even joking
Marco is wc 👍🏻
He is a finished footballer hanging on to football because of his loyalty
Which kinda ruined his career
As he should’ve moved to a bigger club a long time ago
0.28 xA 97th percentile 39 g+a 
Stat merchant
I ain't lying when I say musiala is clear of barella rn
Lmao
Musiballer 🧑🍳
This is why your league is dead an no one watches it
We have more tv money than u
More viewership too
Chill
I like to speak with facts not random opinions 👍🏻
Your club is small
And you wouldn’t finish top 4 in serie a
Go watch highlights of reus and cry yourself to sleep because it isn’t 2012 anymore

Go back to twitter man

Nah ricky
i mean Man City didn't even play this weekend so idk why he would be in there
nvm, didn't read team of the week lol
no tel is mad

Its barca vs bayern tomorrow
Thoughts?
It goes either way
But as a barca fan i hope we can get a result
I predict a 2-0 barca win.
I personally think it will be a 3-2 barca win
Ong


none yet until everything is revealed tbh
Nice
But hoping barca wins
But i want man city to win the UCL
barca dont dissappoint me
Trust
it wont be a high scorin game trust me. we have improved man
@dull geode @remote snow @dark nymph
Not certain where the confusion is.
This channel is to discuss football. That's it. Only topic, and it's a pretty wide one.
You have issues with the server you need to bring forth, do so in the appropriate spot, #feedback-old or #open-ticket-here
Bayern still clear
It will be a fun game of football for 90 minutes. Whoever scores more, wins
Love your pfp
its whoever pulls out the better tactics also
True
xavi has a much better squad now
its likely we will pull 4-3-3
lets see what he can do
Yes vector
dembele,lewa,rap
Whoever wins, it will be 1 or 2 goal difference
.
tru
Kounde should play cb, but at the same time I would hate bellerin playing as a rb
He needs to step up
I don't see anything more than that
im easily puttin kounde over christensen
but its xavi
Good morning chat
Lewandowski?????
It came out that the manager of real mallcora to break Vini jr
Nice
@cursive granite @shrewd quiver @stark narwhal
This channel is to discuss football. That's it.
Want to air greivances about the server? We have a place for that. #feedback-old and #open-ticket-here
This isnt the channel for it. We have plenty of channels with a plethora of topics available to choose from to chat in the appropriate channel.
We're literally only asking that you actually use the right channels for the right topic. Not a big ask, shouldn't be a hard concept.
Stay on topic please.
🤷🏻♂️
Also, activity in multiple channels drops when there is no Prem League football on. Been the trend for a long time.
This was an unexpected break as well, so adds another level of "well fuck there isn't football on to watch today" mentality and that seems to wane off interest in chatting for some
Butttttttt plenty of other footy on
Like Bayern in crisis mode so Dortmund can get a championship win this season
Philadelphia Union entering the Top 100 world clubs rankings after just smacking their last 3 opponents
Er maybe 4
Club football is dead without the premier league
I won $220ish betting on that Atlanta match
The form they are in is phenomenal. I'd argue they could win CONCACAF Champions League and push to Club World Cup Final in this form.
Now, they'd for sure lose the club world cup, I'm not saying they are that good lol...but I think they could legit challenge a CONMEBOL top squad
you never know
liverpool lost against sao paulo
My captain is here to stay
Honestly man
A
I am convinced some people are just bots with no reading comprehension
I wanna know how is it to be smaller than 2 of your greatest rivals
w
Must be bad
Cool
he just joined to slander you
Lmao
Lol just a joke
We have more cls than u tho
That’s their only argument lol
so
The only argument i need
Cool
🐎
CLs is irrelevant because Forest have more CLs than Man City, Arsenal and PSG combined
"Cls is irrelevant" 💀💀💀
What club do you support
Charleston Battery
Assuming a city fan
Wich division?
So your pov makes sense
USL Championship
Playing quality is irrelevant
? Wtf
Cause like, if the atmosphere is good, then you should be immersed enough 
I'd rather watch Sunday League with flares and a sense of community than watch a Prem match where it's dead rofl
Playing quality its pretty important
Have u ever watched a match of libertadores?
Then u should watch south america football
Ngl
Brazilian league is pretty good
I thought you were trolling when you said charleston battery
Nah I got my own local club lol.
I didn’t know they were a real club
Same lol
I don’t even think i have a local club where i live
South carolina
Michigan
Charleston, i thought it was a english city
In brazil we have lots of great teams
We dominate S.A
Do you see someone or a message which breaks our rules? react with the :sos: emoji on their message to report it to us!
They dont even have a division bro 💀
I have never heard of any team or league you named ngl
watch actual football then, not manufactured "sport"
Bro i watch football since 2013 💀💀
Wdym by actual football?
Amateur football
I do watch actual football
I just don’t care about amateur football that much
I chose my local club where i was born and stuck with it for the last 18 years
I don’t need to watch amateur football
Local≠where you were born

Cause local football is football for the fuck of it
and not bc you're getting paid
That’s a horrible argument ngl
How does that make it better tho
Just because you get paid for something doesn’t mean you don’t care about it
It’s like saying a certified doctor isn’t a real doctor because he gets paid
+players in low leagues of football always moan about money lol
And you rather watch your grandma commit heart surgery because she does it for the fuck of it
Nahhhhh, cause it's a game and people make it into a job and get overly tribalistic over a parasocial relationship
???
cause even if you care about your big club, they don't care about you
What lol😭😭
Players deserve to get paid
Who cares abt amateur football mate?
And because they do it doesn’t mean they don’t love the game
Me, cause you're more personally attached to the club and players
My local club don't care about me either lol
I am attached to the club i support
Nah, you're defending an organization that wouldn't care if you were gone 😭
And it is part of my life
Parasocial
What would my local do of i was gone
Nah man you aren’t a real football fan
Average "i support my local" vibes
If my team isn’t 2 footing players every game
And play on a horrible pitch
It isn’t real football
Hell yea

If the ref isn’t drinking bear during half time it isn’t real football
So professional football with tactics and great players isn't football but my local hoofinithe ball every two minutes against a team i never heard off is?
Ur amateur club wouldnt care either
Lol
Yessirrrr 🥶🥶🥶
Still amateur
Nahhh you ain't ever seen a non league match before?
It's absolute ballin, the atmosphere.
Not really lol
if I could get a video
I've seen a couple, its complete shit
The atmosphere is good in a 1k seats stadium
Have you ever seen the atmosphere in the san siro on a milan derby?
The football is shit
If i wanna see non professional fotball i pick up a couple friends and we play it
I don’t need to support local
THATS IT
When i can go and be with 70k fans supporting my club
Sure, it's good.
But you can't get personal with it innit
Also the atmosphere goes off after 3mins because the game is so dead and boring
You can go to the San siro tho
You could
But like, the players of gaffers don't know you in the crowd of thousands 
Local footy School games have the best atmosphere
I mean
Go to Clapton and see the flares and shi?
Inter followed me for 3 months
Well most of my locals players don't know me either
What lol
I aint trolling
fans own the club
Pick up 21 friends and play amateur football, it will be better than watch it
Yea in amateur there's 10 ppl in the stands 🗿
Small team 🥃🗿
And i got unfollowed
NAH LOOK AT THE IMAGE
Look at the fucking image mate
Fuck off
300-500 there
They followed me
Wow
On Twitter or insta?
Can't have it in pro footy
In brazil, a normal match of flamengo u can see 60+K ppl in the stands
Or you'll get fined by the FA for political stances
THE TEAM IS 10 YEARS OLD 💀💀💀💀
He probably got fired because he followed such a fraudulent oerson
No it's not, it's a phoenix club of a 100 year old club
praying we get a win in munich
100 years of history and 500 fans
BODIED HIM
Rainbow flags are everywhere in the prem?
please god give us a win in munich
It's happening
Thats even more pathetic, with 100+ years of history u should have a great amount of fans
I saw this shi in the stadium
My God it was amazing
If you wave an antifa or trans flag they'd lynch you lol
?????
Nahhhh you must be jesting
too bad it was olympics tho
imagine if it was wc
Where are you getting this information from
would’ve been magestirial
Sheffield FC is the first club itw and it has no fans at all?
@dull geode thoughts about Nigeria getting smashed on the 29th of September

Brazilian...
Yea.
Tough tough
I watched that fucking game in ARGENTINA
I didnt.
can’t lie
Like i support france against any country (besides brazil ofc)
I was happy for em in 2018
french team is legit africa
Thats why i "support" em
Uk
Im black and seeing lots of black players playing class football is pretty good 2 me
Idk whu
Why*
But its great
I like the feeling
Without africans they would have 0 wcs
zidane carried
henry was tuff
Griezmann, Giroud, lloris are the only 100% french players that ik
The rest are mixed
I forgor abt him
- wrong channel
- you dont
griezmann is from uruguay
oh
what abt pavard?
i think so
He is better than henry
Not r9 and dinho
😭😭
Who
I swear he was born in Portugal
My friend said foden > saka
He isn't wrong
foden is so ass
overrated wave kitten
bro just looking at foden makes me mad
hes so ugly
and ass
his face is unlikeable
and im not even a man u, man c, arsenal, liverpool, chelsea, spurs fan
Turan retires
Ronaldo has a bigger premier league legacy than Henry
That crazy person should be sent to prison

My agenda against fdj starts tmr if he doesn't perform
He will be on the bench
Didnt he fall out with man us current trainer?
Im not fully sure
why
el finito
huh
0-0-8
Obviously it's not time for kickoff yet
his last good "big game" performance was napoli ?
Send me your predictions 
For which game


Record on the matches Ronaldo has started 0-0-3
Thanks for reminding
I didn't predict anything
😭😭
I have, but might change later on when i see the linr ups
Not that it would make any difference 
Done 
W
i'd love to but i dont
Its fun
i do for international tournaments always
not for clubs
idk why
its fun
i did buli predictions abt 3 years ago

Okay NeedSM
@flat moth lewa or neymar for ballon d'or
It’s barely been 1 month since the season started
Ney 
I’ve just seen a city fan say that alvarez should start over lautaro in the world cup

Ballon d’or winner though will probably be best player in the world cup winning team
What is wrong with these prem fans
Or the UCL winning team if the wc winning team is a Germany or Spain type team
If Argentinia or portugal win the world cup
Idc if messi or ronaldo both drop stinkers all tournament
They are guaranteed the ballondor
Hey guys,today i made a classmate crying:
So,his fav football team is Juventus,i went to school with a 2014/15 FCB shirt.
He cried for a bit,cuz he saw the shirt
Yes
Hi
Pr tax
I cant sleep
I just want lautaro in the top 5
Very cold
And reminded him of the lost final
It wouldn’t me too much to ask if he has a great world cup
I just want my country win the World cup
Lautaro can be top 10 maybe
If he has a very good world cup
It is want much?
The journalists
Top 5 will be hard because I don’t see inter going beyond quarters in UCL
What if Lewa destroyed everyone in the CL
And laliga
Leva vs messi vs ronaldo
Don’t really need to go far in ucl
Top5 is a very big stretch for lautaro
Honestly
It would be better for lautaro if we go uel
He can statpad
Maybe win another trophy
They’ll be lucky to make it out the group.
He needs to win wc then for top 5 probably
Lol nobody will rate those
If u wanna get top5 ballon dor
They would if we win it
You can’t seriously tell me
If he gets world cup top scorer
UEL isn’t valued when it comes to ballon dor mate
Like not even a little bit
He won’t get top 5
It’s irrelevant
Messi & CR7 ain’t winning ballon d’or
Unless Portugal or Argentina win the wc
I see Argentinia winning it hopefully
Do you see someone or a message which breaks our rules? react with the :sos: emoji on their message to report it to us!
Ronaldo will never win another ballon dor
Even if they aren’t close to the best of their respected national teams they will indeed still have such a realistic chance to win the ballon dor lol with these journalists
Wallahi u fell off
Shall nations have an uefa Europa League variations?
But if ronaldo doesn’t even play for United it’s a big stretch
Wyd to please polio 😭😭
Beyond Groups*
And he only scored 16 goals in the league
Exactly
Haaland was ucl topscorer and finished 11th
Top 10 for lautaro is already a big stretch icl
Even if they have shit world cups individually but their team’s win the tournament they will be top 3 definitely
Just due to pr
Haaland also didn’t win a single trophy
Played for a team with more pr too
Shutup
He won a trophy that year pal
Lautaro will only make some name if he becomes topscorer of the World Cup or something
He already has a name
And he was like topscorer
He is one of the worlds best strikers
…
Not joking
After lewa
Iirc
And 3rd most g+a but still came 11th
I just don’t think the journalists would likely vote to get lautaro top 10
And this blud thinks lautaro will finish top 10
He ain't even a world class striker pal
He absolutely is
No
😴
Top5 lautaro
I am saying facts
Would be a really fun world
Lautaro is a world class player
Ig if inter somehow win ucl who knows aye
Plzen v Inter would be a nice ucl final icl
Even you yourself don't believe this
I do
He probably does
Dortmund winning the league would be fire ngl
👍
Got more chances of that than lauti being wc
You don’t have a single world class playwr
harry kane
And you haven’t won the league in 10 years
We do but alr
Stop crying
They are beating Barcelona 2-0 and 3-0
I said top 10 & maybe
Mahrez finished top 10 in 2019 ffs
awkward af
What

He’s talking top5 btw
😭
bro Ajax vs Liverpool AND Bayern vs Barca tonight??
how am I supposed to pick what game to watch
yea cause Ajax will smash Liverpool innit

im jk it's anfield
I doubt Liverpool will lose
But I think Ajax can get a draw
gonna need another Kudus masterclass
that's the PR debt of the buli
you're conceding 7?
is he even a top10 player in serie ass?
real talk
is he even a top 3 striker inside his own league
giroud, immobile are clear at the minimum
possibly osimhen
tammy
hello
english football is dead thats why
ajax are worrying me
they were training at anfield yesterday and their fans came to watch them
what were they doing at anfield two days early 😭
Touching the grass
ajax coming at anfield 48 hours early\
🤨
These bild news look like some Domestic soap opera drama shows

As if they asked Goretzka why he was mad and then ask Kimmich does he like to go offensively

Gavi's new contract with Barcelona will include release clause for €1B, negotiated last December. It's matter of time to get it signed and completed, as revealed last week. 🚨🔵🔴 #FCB
Barça, never been worried by PL clubs and Bayern links as he's set to sign the new deal.
1388
150
they're taking the piss at this point
its the media
La Liga tax
1bn in every young potential players
and eventually they'll leave for free when they decide not to extend their contracts
ong
what happened
they can put whatever clause they wan
t
yea meanwhile lauti gets half his goal contributions v salern
thats like listing your 2 bedroom house for $30m and expecting someone to buy it

great comparison
but it makes sense
?
In la liga every player must have a release clause lad
They are 1 billion so that no club can buy them without negotiating
yeah but not 1bn 😭
Not if you activate the release clause
thats just ridiculous
Man that’s literally the whole point
Psg activating release clause of pedri soon
i know, but yet again its ridiculous 😂
Prem clubs have the liberty of not having to put release clauses in players contracts
So they don’t understand how risky it is
Especially with so many oil clubs around
Earlier Barcelona used to put release clauses in the 200-300 million range
But after neymar only they started putting these high
i know
you can just tell no club is gonna pay that amount for a player again
but 1 billion tho
maybe mbappe
500 m would've been fine 😭
vinicius has a crazy release clause too i think
You people used to say the about neymar and suarez having 200 million release clauses 5 years ago
thats understandable
do you actually think that there will be a club paying 1bn? 😂
the release clause ends when the contract ends right?
No
That’s exactly why the release clauses are 1 billion
It makes it totally impossible
yh
🤷
middle east 
so clubs can buy him for free then
yep
depends if barca still want him or not
If they leave for free yes
But top players rarely leave clubs like Barcelona or Madrid for free
You are forgetting most top players rarely leave for free
Messi?
Yeah that’s a rare case
Only 1-2 top players move around on free transfers
Per window
Sometimes not even that
wait so everyone has a release clause in la liga, what was casemiro his release clause?
so clubs can just wait for gavi to develop at his time in barca and then snub him off for a lower price when his contract ends
yeah basically
🤷
thats what i meant with not making any profit
makes no sense
i guess you can still negotiate
but yeah
200-300 million something like that
yeah if they had a realistic clause around 200m or 300m, some clubs would actually consider buying him
vini was 700 right?
he signed a contract recently
Vini is 700 million yes
also got his passport
Do you see someone or a message which breaks our rules? react with the :sos: emoji on their message to report it to us!
yeah real want the same for militao and rodrygo
yes
so they can shop in brazil again
La Liga rules are very shit
Just remove mandatory release cluase la liga at this point
Player limits
Compulsory release clauses
Strict Wage laws
Yeah its weird and kinda easy to avoid trouble there
That 4 non eu players rule is meh
other clubs can still negotiate for the release clause if the player is reaching the end of his contract
i think
if around 4-5 months are left
yeah you can still negotiate
but they will ask for a high price
true
casemiro went for 70 mil while he had a 200-300mil release clause
yeah
so its definitely possible but then again you'll pay a huge fee
