@i12640786@Bd_irB_ll Rice did play well v. the Netherlands, but then again, a broken clock is right twice a day. One good game doesn't cover up 10 stinkers.
Also important to note that the Netherlands had key absences to Depay/De Jong/a manager (Koeman is horrible).
@i12640786@Bd_irB_ll - He was mid v. Senegal
- 0 long balls, 0 dribbles, 1-5 successful tackles, 5-11 in ground duels, 1 yellow card v. Germany/Croatia in 21'. Elite midfielder
- Rice plays more games, as he's on a better int team. It's like saying Lukaku>Zlatan because he has more major INT. apps
@Lyoderos7@Bd_irB_ll You call me illiterate, so I'm curious, when @Bd_irB_ll said "think bigger", in response to the original tweet, what did you think the implication was? Just asking.
@Colinvm26@RafaelH117 You're factually wrong. Most players have reasonable release clauses that other clubs are willing to pay. Nico Williams (pre-contract extension), Zubimendi, Baena, Moleiro, and Aleix Garcia are some examples of good players with reasonable RQs over the past few years.
@Colinvm26@RafaelH117 Key thing: players have to agree to the €1 billion RQ. It's why most non RM/Barca/Atleti players in Spain have release clauses under €100m.
🇭🇹 🇵🇱 Haiti Milli Takımı, Dünya Kupası’nda giyeceği resmi formalarına Polonya bayrağını ekledi.
Bu bir tasarım hatası değil, iki halk arasında yüzyıllardır süren dostluğun sembolü.
1802 yılında Napolyon, Polonya Lejyonları’ndan binlerce askeri Haiti’deki köle ayaklanmasını bastırmak için adaya gönderdi. Ancak birçok Polonyalı asker, özgürlük mücadelesi veren Haitililere karşı savaşmayı reddederek onların safına geçti ve Fransız ordusuna karşı birlikte mücadele etti.
Haiti’nin 1804’te bağımsızlığını kazanmasının ardından ülkenin ilk lideri Jean-Jacques Dessalines, Polonyalılara vatandaşlık verdi ve onları anayasında “Avrupa’nın Siyahları” olarak tanımlayarak büyük bir onur gösterdi.
Aradan 200 yılı aşkın süre geçmesine rağmen Haiti, Polonyalıların dayanışmasını unutmadı. Bugün futbolcular formalarında taşıdıkları Polonya bayrağıyla, özgürlük uğruna verilen ortak mücadelenin hatırasını yaşatıyor.
America is an objectively awful evil country in so many ways which only makes it more hilarious that whenever. Europeans try and come for us, their attacks are the food (?), the natural geography (??), and pop culture and sports (???). That’s like literally all we do well!
@notbot110101@Shervydc@LunarCelica@HowardWalo35048@Emanxamilius_ Rashford has also provided G/A, but is one of the laziest wingers off the ball in LaLiga. Him not pressing exposes the CBs to more pressure, as Barca's tactic depends on winning the ball high up the pitch.
Gordon provides G/A and pressing. It's really that simple.
@JacobHorsfall_@ProfTennis01 If they don't sell at a fair price, mid-table clubs potentially lose €30m+ in player value (good money) as players run down their contracts or leave on a free
Prime example, Guehi — Crystal Palace rejected Tottenham (€80m), and potentially lost €57m (sold him for €23m)
@Shervydc@LunarCelica@HowardWalo35048@notbot110101@Emanxamilius_ Gordon is 25, English, runs, and is "prem-proven". He'll likely work out well, but even if he fails, a prem club will pay €40-€50m for him.
Rashford is 28, high wages, and refuses to press on a team that demands effort (worse defensively than Lamine). Not worth it.
@Shervydc@LunarCelica@HowardWalo35048@notbot110101@Emanxamilius_ It's 10000% the wages, because that changes FFP calculations. Currently, Gordon costs ~€26m in FFP space.
Rashford makes almost €20m at UTD including bonuses. If Barca signed Rashford for that (with a 4 year deal) he would cost €27.5m yearly. Makes no sense to sign him.
@LunarCelica@HowardWalo35048@notbot110101@Emanxamilius_ Let's use out brains for a moment. If Gordon was on €300k, he would be earning similar wages to Raphinha/Yamal, and earning more than Pedri/Olmo. That makes no sense from a squad building POV.
