Merino works as a generalist cause he's a 30m slow CM we signed at 28 but Kai was a wonderkid who ultimately flipped at Chelsea and was called an 8/10/9, it feels like immaturity with him
Tldr: gun to your head who's a better CF (say why
He had that run during the 23/24 title run in, had an mid-average season in 2024/25 till he injured, and Merino's upturn at the CF made me doubt his quality but I think that just speaks to Merino's quality tbf
Re:Havertz, everything surrounding him looks “right”, he's winning the titles, loved by the coaches/legends players/top clubs
But what is he actually doing on the pitch? His stats/underlying stats seem to point to the right thing but I would love to see a complete season from him

@GeorgeV_AFC I've still not gotten over you prophesying the Rice signing years back
I could barely see it happening back then, this is more realistic but I just don't think he'll leave his comfort zone
Arsenal must be the only club in football that’s been criticised for 15 years for not being able to win ugly or deliver when it matters, and then when they actually do grind out results in a title race, they get attacked for that too. It’s a no-win narrative, and that kind of inconsistency is what’s killing the game.
I think Drake’s biggest strength is his versatility but after More Life (in which he called a playlist) it became a weakness his albums stopped feeling cohesive and started sounding again like playlists instead of complete projects
He figured this out with his 3 separate album releases (not just the UMG deal) that’s exactly why ICEMAN is his best received project in years, there aren’t any random R&B/Pop/Dance tracks that come out of nowhere…
(The quality has always been there with Drake i don’t think it ever fell away like people claim, i think in large part this is the reason why)
🚨🗣️ Kylian Mbappé: "People say Messi is talent and CR7 is hard work? I'm not trying to be condescending, but that's something that only PEOPLE WHO HAVE NEVER PLAYED FOOTBALL can say.
If you can look me in the eyes and tell me Cristiano isn't talented or that Messi isn't a hard-worker, then you simply never laced your boots up and played football." @Sorare
The Fall-Off is a timeless album, whether the world sees it yet or not. How do I know? Every time a new album comes out, I enjoy it and have it in rotation for a bit, some of them stick for longer
But every time I come back to The Fall-Off, it’s like a soul cleanse. It’s healing music that shows aging and maturing in such a beautiful way. This is an album that is going to age with Cole’s fans so powerfully. If you didn’t like Cole to begin with, you won’t like this album - it doesn’t try to change the haters. It just strikes straight into the people it’s made for. And I GUARANTEE, with every year that passes, this will age just better and better.
Most albums are made for a moment in time. This is an album that is made for the listener’s LIFETIME. Masterclass from Cole. Timeless
