The names to replace Alex Sandro are:
• Emerson Palmieri (Chelsea)
• Robin Gosens (Atalanta)
• Gayà (Valencia)
[Tuttosport]

Welcome, Agent Palmieri.
If all it takes for Gosens is 25m, where do I sign up?

Football is simple.


Go argue with the linguistics department, I didn't make the rules. In football you either win or lose. If you always lose and never win anything you are a loser, end of.

I only wrote facts, not my fault how you choose to interpret them.

Lol, football is simple? Thanks for informing me.


Hey about this?



Just turn off the TV any time football is on.

Instead open the wiki page for each team/player/coach and just stare at their respective trophies lists.


And rub one off.

No thanks, I like watching top level football. I watch it to see who wins.

You'd think a concept of winners and losers wouldn't be so foreign to Juventus fans of all people but here we are.

I don't think I've ever heard CL qualifiers called losers, heck I've never even heard mid table teams called losers. Would be pretty weird for example to refer to someone finishing second in the olympics as a loser. I'd say that in general terms in football losers and winners are decided by game to game basis. That's at least how the word is being used in the spoken and written language. You lose a game and you're a loser, you win a game and you're a winner. However I don't remember the word loser being used to describe teams that don't finish 1st in a competition, this is your invention.

Kane another stat padder and a loser on a bad team. Zero ambition. Had a chance to choose his next club like Lewa and so many others did. He opted for a new contract knowing full well he will stay there for the long haul.

Enjoy rotting there
Usually I'd say he would end up at United like most good Spurs players, but I can only see City affording him.

i didn't get the same "argument" when he applied to gasperini, and i don't get it now. gasperini will finish 2nd in the league with the ~11th wage bill (and can win a coppa), and someone calls him a loser? yeah right. harry kane decides games on a regular basis, and he's a loser? okay.

estigarribia is a winner. ogbonna is a winner. harry kane is a loser.

no debate there. so simple. so perfect.

we could also apply this to our recruiting strategy. let's decide between gosens and emerson. gosens won shit, emerson won 2 lolzilian leagues and an el. gosens is a loser by definition, emerson is a winner. easy-peasy. someone just write tici a mail asap, this would revolutionize the way we operate.

We will finish second not Gasperini

Atalanta's pool of talent is criminally underrated.
thanks for proving my point and giving some credit to gasp for having a hand in building that squad. and give me an other coach who helped to build a similar squad on a similar budget and brought them into the cl knockouts.

gasp's work is criminally underrated on tuz.

and inb4 lol at suggesting gasp as our next coach: i'm not. he's not a coach we need right now. but what he's doing isn't even remotely called losing.

Welcome, Agent Palmieri.
I'd take Gosens for obvious reasons. However, a number of EPL clubs leicester being one of them have been linked and Gosens has recently been flirting with dortmund saying how he would 'consider' them. I just cant see us getting him.

Gaya is heavily linked with Barca, his had enough at valencia, who would blame him, maybe he wants to stay in spain.

Couple of options i like are Grimaldo (Benfica) and Mendez (Sporting).

Our current squad actually does compliment Gasps system, he can go as it is but if we get some improvement that will be great

Their talent as a player is simply there. And Gasp has nothing to do with it, besides him obviously doing very well there.

The rest amounts to nothing. But Gasp (his coaching) is a one dimensional coach, far from what we need idd. We need someone who players immediately look up to and can deal with a far from perfect squad.

Wouldn't start the debate on him being a loser. That's just dumb. He'll win the Coppa soon :(

Once again you are going on about moral victories.

I am talking about tangible, objective wins (trophies). If someone said we are winners of the CL in 2015 you'd laugh in their face. Doesn't matter who we played, we lost.

You can use context and reasoning to explain the loss, doesn't make it hurt any less and doesn't remove anything from Barca winning it. Us getting there was a great ACHIEVEMENT but we did not WIN it.

When I say loser I do not mean someone is worthless, achieved absolutely nothing etc. But winning is a habit and as someone smart said once there is a reason why some coaches and managers win always and some always lose. And I just can't take you seriously for the highest level of football if you spent 10-20 years coaching or playing and didn't win shit.
