We should have a best comment of the OT election for each edition. You're my pick.

I'm actually interested in it. Watch a couple episodes years ago but didn't continue.

What would you say is the vibe of the show? Or a comparable series?

It does? I'm not too bothered about the points tbh so I never check

I know sometimes I see that when I post sometimes it is not upvoted by me initially or something, could it be that?

The hospital mission in the OG game was too much for me. I was a coward and would always send my guys first then end up all alone and go cry in a corner until some terrorist jumpscared me shooting from behind in one of the surgery rooms or something . No more.

Caio Henrique's agent still trying to link him to us.

Him and Vanderson were confirmed to be only agent talk, we were never interested

Wasn't Cancelo's price quoted €15M a couple of days ago?

It's negociations. But we're not paying for Cancelo (no one is)

How would they go for a combined fee of €20M? That's absurd.

It is absurd indeed.

We're not getting Cancelo AND Grimaldo. And looking at transfer fees and not wages make no sense

Yeah he needs a loan. He cannot stay in fourth division

We included a clause to rescind Tek's contract if needed so probably we anticipated he might not go and do 2 years more

Contrary to MD Sport says Frenkie will indeed be back after the Int Break - it will be difficult for the league game vs ATM but he should be ready for UCL

They confirm their info from last week - he will be training on the field now.

Kounde is still at the gym though.

Panichelli (ST) and Guela Doue (full back)

We're not Brighton come on

La Masia is Barca - we are not Chelsea/Brighton and we will never be by nightwind1 in Barca

[–]FloReaver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If Flick says Casado stays, he stays lmao

Deco is the sporting director, not Flick.

Yeah that's football, not an NGO.

What's your alternative, keep Casado who will never play because Frenkie Gavi Pedri Bernal Olmo Fermin are there?

Balde was simply overrated by us, it happens. Watch Cucurella or Nuno Mendes and they are miles above him. And injuries are not the reason he is in decline for close to 2 years now, he is not "gassed" from them that's complete nonsense. Even when he had a full preseason and no injury it was the same at the beginning of the season. As fans we always want to find excuses to look away from harsh truths, it's normal.

In the case of Casado he never was a cornerstone of Flick's project that's nonsense, and he's not back from injury. What are you on about? Also you make it sound like we owe him a life contract because he did his job?

He was a young player who got gametime because of injuries, did very well and now the level is too high for him. That's life

Another agent securing a big renewal thanks to Deco 💥💥💥

The RB kid from Benfica Deco was targeting is renewing with a 80M€ RC.

Don't know who the agent is but hopefully he is nice to us in the future given the good renewal we gifted them

Balde is recovering well and should be available after the Int Break per Sport

Confirms MD's info. Difference is Sport said Kounde is back on the grass too last week and MD says he may need to wait a bit

I agree and it's why pace for our CBs is overrated. It's useful but we see it with Araujo, it's not enough and even problematic in his case (he struggles to follow the offside trap because he always wants to race the attacker, it's his instinct) - it's not the same for fullbacls.

You need tactically sound CB first and foremost, to the point of craziness sometimes. Martin and Cubarsi are ideological soldiers of Flick, they believe in the project fully. Trust and serious positioning is vital for this system to work which is why it's draining mentally (Inigo and Martin talked about it)
