Right now 4-3-3 best scenario (eliminating Messi Mbappe Neymar and those who definitely wont be sold) might be Morata (if he take it well) Higuain Sanchez

In any case I dont think Morata will be back and I dont think we will get Sanchez but somewhat I have a feeling we might see Dybala leaving while getting a surprise in H.Kane - Still very unlikely though..
I've never seen so much nonsense in just 2 sentences.

It is considered better overall. I dont agree with it but it is. This isnt the 90s any more.
It is considered better although god knows why..
Juventus Napoli Roma Inter Lazio are equal to City United Tottenham Chelsea Liverpool (more or less)

as for the 90s I think there wasnt even a contest as Milan of the first half of the 90s and Juve of the 2nd half were way bigger than the EPL IMO (and Im not even counting Inter who with Ronaldo and Vieri were very good)

IMO 90s - Serie A was the best
2000-2010 - EPL La Liga and even Bundesliga left Serie A behind with La Liga and yes EPL as well taking over
2010-2017 - EPL gone awol Bundesliga took a nap (put aside the Bayern all mighty year)
2018 - (I regard this year as 2018 as its 17-18 season) EPL sides seem to get back but Serie A are giving a push as well, Bayern remain a force while Dortmund went for a winter nap.. Real might not at their best right now nor are Atletico Madrid but it is clear that right now the strongest league is the La Liga as overall you cannot really argue that Barcelona Real Atletico > Juve Napoli Roma (overall)

The premier league is not better than serie A, unless you’re talking financially.
Financially there is no discussion as EPL are probably the strongest overall
Man Utd havent been in europe for a decade yet they were able to shell 100M for Pogba and spend lots of money on other players
Man City have Shekih
Chelsea have an Russian Oligarch
even Liverpool shell 70M on players wondering where they get that money from..

While Spain have Real and Barca strong spending power they are only 2 in spain compared to the ridiculous power of the EPL where a player like Van Dijk gets bought for a record fee for a defender...
PSG are probably the strongest financially at the moment but they are a 1 team league so it cant be counted as much...

Juve and Bayern are the only great reasonable financially clubs.

I wonder who put that EPL is the best title.. Seems like an EPL fan brainwashed everyone...

Schalke seem to want Pjaca on loan so maybe 10M+loan of Pjaca for Goretzka (to get him now)
That's what Beppe is trying to achieve imho. That is why he named Schalke...

I think you mean more like €50m + loan of Pjaca.
His contract runs out in 6 months. In that time they would have to PAY for the loan of Pjaca and get nothing for Goretzka at the end.

No one is going to give them 40-50M for a player with 6 months on his contract. Not without having a major detrimental effect on his personal terms.

:agree:

It's all hype

- - - Updated - - -

Christian Falk is the one coming out with it and if he is so sure, then no reason not to believe it.

Goretzka to Bayern was done and dusted since last summer, exactly as I said.
Let's see, Bayern will probably announce it in January if true
