    Karma for speaking shit about Bayern and Juve training regime

    I think there're no true stand-out goalies today that have that reputation that they'll consistently make saves no-one else will and bring you points to the table. Buffon was close to winning Ballon d'Or in 2006 and was truly a Superman in goal, I don't see a goalie like that in 2023. Guys like...

    I think right now the cheapest positions in football are goalkeepers and SS. Most modern formations and teams don't use a SS, so naturally the demand for even high quality SS like Dybala and Felix is limited, because it's hard to fit them in as anything else than a SS. Even though I tend to...

    What did you think about Ronaldo's Piers Morgan interview? Sometimes the issue isnt whether a thing is true or not, but who says it, when he says it and whats the agenda. Not trying to compare the two interviews, but Ronaldo is just an easy example.

    Bad? Dunno. But if you go on linkedin to post 5 times how your ex employer sux compared to the new one youre inherently a bitch.

    Why a coach randomly dissing other coaches training methods is classless? Or why is it classless if a player extensively talks about how shit is better in his new team compared to his ex team? I mean both are rather self explanatory, I'm not sure I have much to add to it. Whether its true or...

    I dont think the problem was whether the comments were true or not, it was just an utterly classless choice of topic for public discussion from him and Bagelsman.

    He looks a lot more agile in Spurs, moved like a 35yo here.

    The diff between Kulusevski in Juve and Spurs was a stark one fitness wise. Whatever it is, obv our physios are not getting the job done, no need to be the devils advocate here. Of course it doesnt excuse the Bayerns coach one bit, he's still a classless bum, just like many in that org

    I hope the 10m is some easy shit like Bayern finishing top4 or smth. 67m is a joke.

    I think an even bigger problem is his salary that takes a big portion of the full cost of the player. de Ligt is rumoured to become the best paid player for Bayern and that might have implications for their future negotiations with their star players as well

    Every league apart from EPL already is or soon will be a farmers league, their bottom feeders have more financial muscles than upper mid table clubs in any other league. Once the English pull their heads out of their asses no one else stands a chance.

    If we cant sell him for full price this summer keep him, dont give Bayern a discount with 2 years on de Ligts contract. If they want to pay less, lets wait a year and see if anyone can outbid them

    Was prime Maldini a top3 earner in the league? If you command a transfer fee and salary that de Ligt did, of course people expect him to be WC right away.

    We always overpay to Viola, no? :D From Felipe Melo to Berna to arguably Vlahovic?

    I dont have any doubt that we'll find an okay replacement for half the cost, plenty of CBs out there that can do the job if theres a functioning midfield. Imo a much more real problem right now is we havent managed to move out any of Rabiot, Ramsey, Arthur, Sandro yet or raise funds through...

    Afaik de Ligt is on 8m fixed + 4m bonuses. Pogba will be what, 7m? Im sure wed happily extend de Ligt on 7m

    Whats wrong with Arrivabene? Dybs adventures on the free agent market seem to indicate that the previously agreed 10m deal that he canceled wouldve been way above market

    Extend or gtfo. This is the right moment for the club, postpone the talks for another year and we'll get lowballed, probably selling below the fee we bought him for..
