    Tiago Djaló

    He was on 0.2m/year in Lille. I hope we didnt instantly bump him to 3m/year just because we can.

    Weston “Royale Avec Fromage” McKennie

    he's scared of flying? wtf?

    Filip Kostić

    last season he had 3g12a, way more assists than anyone else and TOP5 in goals + assists in a team where he was the 19th best paid player. this season he's fallen off for sure, but I wouldn't be surprised in the slightest if at the seasons end he'll again be topping the assists chart for Juve...

    Massimiliano Allegri

    he keeps surprising me, I thought at some point we'd have a winter slump for sure, but the team is actually getting better, especially Vlahovic, who can't stop scoring. long may it continue.

    Alex Sandro

    Criminal how we washed ~11m down the toilet and kept him here to be rotation for Rugani and Gatti for that salary

    Matías Soulé

    I think 3421 is an option in the future, just make sure that the 2 are players that also know how to press and have defensive duties. Probably not with Allegri though, he'd play McKennie or Miretti behind the striker lol.

    Massimiliano Allegri

    If we had some stupid transfers and dumped money like Chelsea have the past few windows then transfer spending would be exactly what hurt us. Doesnt make us or Chelsea financially poorer than the rest, the mgmt of those finances is poor.

    Matías Soulé

    Imo early Dybsie up until ~Higuain purchase and niggling injuries was on track to become a top5 striker in the world, the boy had it all and the trajectory was real promising, but its been downward ever since. I dont get the same vibe from Soule, but maybe havent watched him enough.

    Its kind of comforting to know that even if I respond and disagree 5 more times s3tch will reliably find 5 more ways to deliver the "but we have no money for transfers!" message, dude is just relentless

    The NBA Thread

    Zero respect for the elders, that guy has no manners :D But agree with Jay, that dunk against good defense that just cant do nothing to stop it was better, this is just making fun of the poor defender thats completely lost and gets 0 help

    I used to love the monologues by Agent Smith in Matrix, been ages since I saw it, but he was by far my favorite character in the trilogy

    Massimiliano Allegri

    Pirlo had Ronaldo, Allegri had Kean for half a season and then we exchanged Kulu and Bentancur for Vlahovic. Obviously Pirlo had the guarantee of Ronaldo, but I don't think if in 21/22 you give Allegri Ronaldo instead of Kean and the Bentancur and Kulu swap for Vlahovic doesn't happen, his Juve...

    Massimiliano Allegri

    Just wanted to make sure, you're saying if Allegri was our manager in 2020/21, we would have had 101 points, finishing 10 points ahead of Inter? Y, that sounds like a the most plausible scenario. Given that we've established that Allegri is approximately 23 points / per season superior to...

    we spend our money elsewhere (mostly wage bill and payments for past transfers). doesn't mean we don't have money, we're just still living above our means, last summer was no exception to that. the resources available to Barcelona are incredible and barely a couple of clubs in the word can...

    The non CL situation could indeed mean we are no longer the top earning club in Serie A, you are right. But given how the original discussion was on season 22/23 and whether 72 points is a decent result, in that context (and until we know more about 23/24 numbers) we still easily were at the top...

    Massimiliano Allegri

    Havent checked the data, but pretty sure we are not being outspent by anyone in Serie A, we probably still spend the most if you combine netspend with wage bill. And the wage bill cutting has been 2 steps forward, 1 step back the past 3 years, definitely not drastic or effective and afaik its...

    It is true, we have the largest revenue, ergo we have the most resources. The fact that we live above our means and piss it away in astonishing ways like paying Allegri 9m net doesnt mean we're not financially strong, we're just also financially retarded. And I never wrote that we own Serie A.
