Arsenal are desperate and are willing to pay obscene prices. White is good, might become very good, but I think he should have waited for a Champions League team that play out from the back and counter attack. Arsenal concede goals and I am not sure if White will stop them conceding as there are...
Found out? It is no secret how we play. Been playing the same way for 3 years. Plus the confidence gained from last season, fans back in the ground and Orta strengthening the squad means we will be okay. Plus we would have to be unlucky to have as many injuries as last season.
The EPL has been responsible for weakening the teams below the top 3 clubs and Spanish employment law requires a 'buy-out' clause in the contract. This is how Neymar left for PSG and I don't think it is fair if all other clubs in UEFA don't have the same rules. If you remember Neymar's deal was...
Liverpool were watching him constantly while he was at Leeds. Arsenal were keen on him since Leeds played them at the Emirates. You have to remember Arsenal are desperate at the moment and need to appease their fans after last season's efforts.
This is how football works. His agent pulls the strings. Ben had the possibility of being benched for a season 'to teach him a lesson' and then still had 2 further years on his contract. A career-threatening injury at any time during training or a cup game could finish his career. In today's...
It wouldn't have looked good on a young player to force through a move at that stage of his career. I believe he did want to come to Leeds but Brighton insisted, and it was always their right, to, that they would not sell him to Leeds. I heard the last Leeds offer was 30m and unless Ben didn't...
Basically what they have done is calculated how a player's worth is degraded each season in a manner to suit their books.
Whereas a 10m player on a 4 yr contract should be worth 7.5m in yr1 and 5m in yr2, 2.5m in yr 3 and 0m in yr 4 etc they have done something like 9m in yr 1 8m in yr 2 7m in...
Did Pele play in multiple leagues? How many times have you seen Messi live? I have seen him multiple times and he is the best player I have seen. Still scored 35 goals for Barca this season.
Leeds were linked with him last season. After different targets this summer. I watch loads of football and there are plenty bargains to be had out there.
The guy who played for Sweden the other night.
Isaak?
When I look at strikers I like to see if they are composed when they shoot. Chris Woods would do a good job for you - would cost 30m but he would score goals.
Had a look at a few highlight reels of him last year. As a goalscorer I don't rate him his technique is suspect. Hits most of his shots at the keeper. If this was the same Gonsalez playing for Argentina last night he managed to miss two sitters. One shooting straight at the keeper and the other...
Ben White played a few games in centre midfield when Kalvin Phillips was injured. He was nothing special as a midfielder, did a job, but that's all. More than 40 games he played as the right-sided centre back. He reads the game well, intercepts well and released the ball early to start our...
You also won at home to City and LPool away. Do you seriously think you are repeating those victories again? Your key stats on whether you improve or not are linked to your lack of goals scored and losing points from winning positions. Too often you sit on leads which is why you lose so many...
The problem for Villa is to get higher than eighth you need quality at both ends of the pitch. I personally think Martinez was their best and most inspired signing. However I don' t rate what is in front of him apart from Konza
