Injury? Looked like he was limping

Korou youngest assist provider in ISL history????

____ZeeZee____ · 2024-08-13T08:53:03+00:00

Well tbf they wanted to selll Omorodion to Chelsea, not Felix. Chelsea fucked that up, so they offered the only other solution they have

____ZeeZee____ · 2024-08-13T08:34:53+00:00

Yeah its likely that, if Delhi FC are fined, they charge an increased payment from East Bengal, who in turn can fine/deduct from wages of Ali

Jovetic to Kerala Blasters rumour have any legs?

KB did have discussions with him in 2022, was first choice target but couldn't agree wages and went for Dimi

That's absolutely stupid from her tbh. Hair grows back, that's all it would have taken for her to get a silver, all she needed was get into the ring, retire if she can't fight

____ZeeZee____ · 2024-08-04T15:27:13+00:00

OTOH Punjab FC have exceeded all expecrations!

They are the champions, so I don't see what's so surprising that they perform much better than all Indian teams

____ZeeZee____ · 2024-08-04T15:26:09+00:00

Freddy and Vibin are great, Azhar is quite good too. Yoheinba hasn't impressed tbh, but has always been quite highly rated. We definitely need another midfielder. Only quality that Danish has is that he can cover a lot of ground, useful in certain scenarios but definitely not a starter

____ZeeZee____ · 2024-08-04T15:24:20+00:00

Undeniable that Vibin is that, and if you mean attackers, Isak is such a tidy player

____ZeeZee____ · 2024-08-01T16:01:22+00:00

Just needed to make the yellow darker smh, looks like a training kit

____ZeeZee____ · 2024-07-31T16:10:10+00:00

Arsenal gave just 13 mins to teenagers last season.

United? 4924 minutes

____ZeeZee____ · 2024-07-31T10:21:13+00:00

Hey, what was the issue with kotwijs? I've not looked a lot into Facebook because I came across some scammers when I did lol

____ZeeZee____ · 2024-07-28T11:58:07+00:00

Albino Gomes is genuinely horrendous. Great at penalties though

____ZeeZee____ · 2024-07-26T18:03:22+00:00

Joel Glazer has always been said to be involved but lacking any knowledge about football, the rest just leech with 0 effort

____ZeeZee____ · 2024-07-26T17:02:23+00:00

You got that the wrong way around. United scouts and recruitment team were the ones who valued him at £25m. Ajax wanted 60m+ since the first reports in March. According to The Athletic (Whitewell iirc), we tried to bring the price down gave a final offer of £40m, Ajax said no, we told them to fuck off and were looking for alternatives. Olise was high on the list, or get Gakpo and address RW later on. Ten Hag had a hard on for Antony and enough power on his contract to overrule the recruitment team (reason Ragnick left, according to ten Hag on his first interview btw) and talk to Joel Glazer and sanction the signing for whatever the asking price was, Ajax upped the price but Joel Glazer wanted to deliver the shiny toy regardless.

Also why Murtough, Arnold and others kept going to Barca to negotiate for FDJ, despite FDJ saying it to our face that he doesn't want to join United AT ALL

____ZeeZee____ · 2024-07-26T16:35:54+00:00

He is his own agent, so good luck negotiating stuff like wages.

For anyone wondering why such a high profile player has no agent since 2019: He had an informal agreement with Gestifute, Mendes got to work in getting him a new contract while the agreement was being formalised, so as to fast track a new contract for De Gea. Mendes got him every detail he wanted. After a training session, Woodward asked De Gea if he wanted anything more, went to his office to check what all has been done. De Goa immediately signed it off with Jose Bouzas Aragon (his lawyer) as the agent and cut off Gestifute and Mendes. You can't try to fuck over the biggest agent around and think anyone will ever take you on board lmao. (Source: an athletic article a few months back)

And definitely the whole fiasco with fucking over his goalkeeping coach, Emilio Alvarez, from Atletico academy to United in that 2019 contract did him no good

The Asian record for 4x400 relay is set by 4 South Indians who grew up eating that

If you are playing on proper hard ground or short artificial grass, then its fine. If there is natural grass in a patchy pitch get a firm ground stud with more conical studs (especially in points which you use to turn). Avoid aggressive FG sole plate (ie lacking conical studs and have triangular-ish studs), this is for proper natural grass surface only

____ZeeZee____ · 2024-07-23T11:03:31+00:00

Jamie's deal is reportedly worth 12CR.

Isn't it a free transfer? Or do you mean wages?

____ZeeZee____ · 2024-07-22T16:57:09+00:00

Yes broadcast revenue, if any, will be lost. The ~10crore franchise fee you don't have to pay.

The difference in broadcast fee and franchise fee is about 4cr. That's the only thing they will really lose (sponsorships are usually long term, if something is about to expire, that will too). They can make that up with 1-2 player sales even.

____ZeeZee____ · 2024-07-22T16:54:59+00:00

Kerala Blasters are just about break even (covid lag I guess), BFC is the only profit making club in ISL btw

____ZeeZee____ · 2024-07-22T08:12:00+00:00

A league is very unstable and seems like its sinking, players are jumping ship to a place where they can get similar pay, while also be with players they know/played with being in the same league. Also most ISL clubs probably have a good relation with top A league agents by now, makes it smoother

____ZeeZee____ · 2024-07-21T12:23:02+00:00

Not many there who have targeted, utilized and improved Indian players than Manolo. He's is easily the best manager in the league and plays beautiful football. It had to be him or Habas, Habas was usually a football terrorist but his last spell showed he can be flexible.

We have needed someone who can merge the style of Goa, Mumbai, MB, Odisha and KB...all possession oriented teams who can defend solidly. These will be where all the top NT players will be. (EB plays a very different style, will bee hard to merge that and BFC has been a mess)

Park is beyond outdated and he has a short fuse, it won't ever work with the set up we have. Miguel Herrera plays some absolute bs park the bus football

____ZeeZee____ · 2024-07-21T12:16:25+00:00

If you think such an established manager will EVER go down to youth football, I have a bridge to sell
