@_Ventfull_ The thing is, who do we go for now? Or are we going in with Martinelli/Tzolis at LW? Still we need to sell Nelson, Vieria and Jesus(at least).
@LaLigaMichael I think player quality is declining, because managers prefer system players instead of unicorns. It is easier to implement a system, then to change a system for a star.
@ddoublewinger So, Mbappe LW as the prime scorer like CR7 in Jose's team. Diomande on the RW like a Bale, speedster/runner. Typical 9(Carlos Espi) to be the refference point?
This is just pure cope. And we will win a World Cup. The athleticism the US produces is second to none. We will have players who could have been top linebackers and wide receivers on the pitch dog walking European teams because they decided to play soccer instead of NFL Football
Yeah, like football is all about athleticism and not about tactical understanding. You can not teach in 6 months, what players got taught all their lives. Americans are so self centred.
Division 2 cornerbacks are more athletic than anyone involved in the World Cup. If Russell Westbrook had 6 months of practice heโd be the greatest Soccer player to ever live.
@RishiJoeSanu Passing, shooting, crosses, engine and work rate. A lot of managers would like players like him in their squads. Being a pretty boy and a media darling got him overhyped. Not his skills.
@subliminaIIy development is very rarely linear, young players have ups and downs, untill they can get consistent form. Also, now everyting is analyzed and players get info about the strenghts and weaknesses of their opponents.
Gyokeres in the Premier league โ 14 goals
Alvarez in Laliga โ 8 goals
Gyokeres throughout last season โ 21 goals
Alvarez throughout last season โ 20 goals.
This is how you spot rubbish news. The club is not stupid enough to do this nonsense.
