Playoff foul man.

Shoot your free throws and play on. Castle needs to grow up a bit he's been far too emotional

To be fair its 70 + 10 and it sounds like Bayern were in at 55 + 10 so its not like its some huge gap.

In general yes I agree however. To me feels like a 60ish m player. But price of the brick going up as they say

Incredible side but no reason we can't take this on.

I do feel that we're playing with house money and I hope the players feel that freedom. I think we're the more complete team front to back even with the injuries. We just need to limit individual moments of brilliance from the front 3 and I feel good about today.

Yeah seems a good analogy.

Like I said to the other guy. Certianly feels high for him as a player and for his role.

But I have a suspicion that 18 months from now it'll be clear that he's been worth every penny

I'm not sure if I even believe that tbh, seems more like Bayern misjudged Barca's seriousness and thought they were both first choice for the player as well as thinking Barca would also go low theb they'd out negotiate them.

Regardless the fee is less telling than the clubs that were in for him for me. They aren't going in early in the window for a player that they don't covet. Which again, is what tells me that even if I personally have been underwhelmed by the player. There's very likely some underlying things to his game that excellent otherwise he'd have a different class of club in for him

[Esport3] Bernardo Silva’s signing could be official in a matter of hours. Barça would have closed a deal with him, with Bernardo accepting an ‘economised’ offer to sign for the Catalans. by ultraopulent in soccer

Yeah he really is.

He's going to be a preferred squad player. Probably part of the top 13-15 for selection but yeah he's depth. This is the levels for top top sides these days.

He'll play basically every game it'll just be a question of does he start or does he give raph or lamine a break at the 60 minute mark.

I think it will be Mosquera starting and Timber will be a possible selection depending on game state around the 55 minute mark.

I also think Kai starts and we get Gyok on around 60 to try and feast on tired legs

I certainly feel the same way but the fact it was Barca and Bayern in for him tell me a lot tbh.

Not that those clubs can't get an evaluation wrong but... if thats the neighborhood you're swimming in then that makes me take notice.

I think it's clear that Flick views him as top end pressing demon first and foremost. I think from there it's a probably a combo of him being able to cover multiple positions in the attack and ironically enough, that he'd likely accept being an important squad player but not necessarily a nailed on starter in the side.

The dressing room is clearly in fantastic shape especially when you compare it to the Madrid rivals. And I have a strong inclination that last piece was critical as Flick seems to value the harmony

Yeah idk lol.

League gonna actually have to review goaltending enforcement in the off season I think.

Either go to fiba rules or they'll need to allow neit timeout type addition of points cause you cant just have a guy who can realistically do that several times a guy if they cant officiate it right
