These Atletico 'statements' might be the most embarassing thing I've seen on this app since following football here.
A complete meltdown and I dont even hate them as rivals. I actually like them, but man, so embarassing.
You dont go this far if the news isnt true lmao.
@KTL_LFC@Nana_Akwasii@ReshadRahman@victor_nahe You can say its a luxury signing, but, look at PSG and their depth. Thats why they're fresh for CL. As long as Flick wanted him it makes sense to me.
@KTL_LFC@Nana_Akwasii@ReshadRahman@victor_nahe Well, Fermin played a lot while Raphinha was injured instead of Rashy, so, maybe Flick wants someone else? We'll see what happens to Rashy.
Both Raphinha and Yamal had injuries and Gordon should prevent that by rotating more. Plus in a few years he could take over from Raphinha
@KTL_LFC@Nana_Akwasii@ReshadRahman@victor_nahe Liverpool spent 90m+ on two players for a single position in the same window. It would be like us signing Joao Pedro for 90m and Alvarez for 140m, that would be bad business.
@KTL_LFC@Nana_Akwasii@ReshadRahman@victor_nahe Barca hasnt spent huge in years and last time they did, they spent well. Its not really about how much you spend, its about who you buy.
Time will tell if its good transfers but to replace Lewy properly you need to spend big and depth was our downfall in CL 2 years in a row.
@ChrisAdzege@ReshadRahman@Nilsola10 Yes. And won nothing while completely melting the chemistry of the squad. I'll gladly see him win the golden boot every year if the result is zero trophies like its been so far.
@SelamaOmar@ReshadRahman@victor_nahe Tbh PL players are inflated and this is prolly the first offer. It'll probably go to 120 with bonuses. If the player pushes that is a factor too.
@Lamine__Ryan@ReshadRahman@victor_nahe Money and FFP are two different things. I mean, we didnt sign much for years, Camp Nou, good results and Lewy wages. It's def surprising we're going this hard but still, the signs were there.
@ChrisAdzege@ReshadRahman@Nilsola10 You mean 2 player sample size? Even if it doesnt work it wont come anywhere near to the Mbappe episode we've enjoyed for two seasons.
Price is pretty high but, thats the market. We were saying Diaz money was too high last year and he did great for Bayern. I expect Gordon to do great, especially since they way Flick wanted him.
Havent seen Gordon much other than against us when he's been great.
Seems like a Flick codded player.
With this season injuries to Rapha and Yamal bench needs to be better and this is how you do it as long as we sign a striker and hopefully a CB like Senesi.
For all this goals conceded criticism, we allowed 1 goal more than RM and 1 less than Atletico in La liga while scoring so much more.
It obviously pays off.
I know Lamine has kinda been picked on by our fanbase this season.
My only complaint is how it bothers him to get subbed off. I used to hate that with Messi too.
The coach decides and players need rest to be fully fit. If the game is done you dont need to play 90min every game.
@Alex_Nielsen97@BarcaTimes@diarioas To he honest, we were amazing at this stage of CL last season and lost it while PSG was awful and won it
CL is about peeking at the right time. If we hit form around april like PSG did we can do it. Its pretty open
But yeah, a CB is a must, even if Christensen didnt get injured
